Celene POV
I was drinking nonstop the moment alcohol was served. I badly want to feel numb. I felt Warith move beside me at ipinalupot niya na naman ang kamay nito sa bewang ko na kanina lang ay tinanggal niya.
Napapairap na lang ako sa kawalan. He's, I think is possessive.
Nang pang pitong shot ko na, naramdaman ko ang epekto ng alak sa akin. I feel disoriented at nawawalan ako ng kotrol sa sarili. Unti unti ding nawawala ang awareness ko sa paligid as if it just me on earth. Naging blurry ang paningin ko at sumasakit na ang ulo ko. Parang gusto ko na lang ilabas ang lahat ng poot sa loob ko.
Malakas kong ibinaba ang basong hawak ko sa lamesa.
Dammit! I thought alcohol would numb my pain? Pero bakit naluluha ako? Bakit mas lumala ata ang sakit na nararamdaman ko ngayon kumpara kanina? Ilan pa ba ang alak na dapat kong inumin para makalimut?
Naramdaman ko na namang may kamay sa bewang ko. Inis kong binalingan to but I wish I haven't.
"What are you doing here?" agad kong tanong. Yong luhang pinipigilan ko lang kanina ay biglang nagsilabas pagkakita ko sa kanya.
He frowned at me like he's confused. "What are you doing here?" ulit ko sa tanong ko but he didn't respond. He just stared.
Lumalala na ng lumalala ang nararamdaman kong galit at gusto ko na lang manakit. Pilit kong tinanggal ang kamay niyang nakapulupot sa bewang ko saka siya hinarap.
"YOU FUCKING USER!" luhaan kong sigaw sa kanya saka siya pinagsusuntok.
"Cele, What are you doing?"
"WHAT I'M I DOING?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko dito. My tears now fall nonstop. "Ace ikaw ang problema ko!__ Alam mo bang ang unang babaeng pinagselosan ko ay si Estelle haa? I thought she's just someone you know… Pero bakit naging fiancée mo na lang siya bigla!" I swallowed some lump forming in my throat. "What I'm I to you?"
He caught my hands when I was about to beat him. Nanlaban ako pero it's futile. He's too strong.
"And you dare to get back the ring you've given me?" nanghihinang sigaw ko. Humahagulgul na ako habang kumakawala sa hawak niya. I heard him cuss before he finally released my hands. I thought I could now beat him but I'm wrong, he hugged me tightly.
He starts to gently rubbed my back as he hushed me. Mas lalo akong naiyak sa ginawa niya.
Tumigil ako sa pagsusuntok sa kanya at nanliit sa sarili. "Ace! __It would be more easy to forget you if you could just despised me when I almost killed your fiancée!" I said, crying in his arm. "But what did you do? You just walked out like I haven't done something!.... Why didn't you get mad?... Why?" I finished asking with a voice I almost didn't hear because it's so weak, like I just whisper it.
Hindi ko alam pero bigla na lang akong hinawakan ni Ace sa balikat, shaking me as if he's waking me up. And as I was gazing at him, the man change from Ace to Warith. Biglang nanuyo ang lalamunan ko sa tindi ng pagkakatitig nito sa akin. Naghintuan ang luha ko. Warith is scowling and mad as he bore his eyes on me intently.
I unconsciously uttered his name that made him more pissed. Napatitig lang ako dito ultimately unaware of what just happened pero unti unti akong nahimasmasan. At unti unti kong nare-realized kong ano ang pinag gagawa ko.
I saw him move toward me but I was petrified, still recalling what else I juts said to him when suddenly, I felt his lips on mine.
A memory of Ace flush in my mind.
