Catch Me When I Fall (Isla De Verde Series #2)

Chapter 35

I was surprised that after what happened I found myself inside Enoch's car together with Dein. They fetch me and now we're going home!

How did they know that I was in a bar?

Nang maka-uwi ay pasalampak akong naupo sa sofa at nahiga roon ng bahagya. I feel so tired and I couldn't even feel my body. Pakiramdam ko ay tinakasan ako ng lakas at ang gusto ko nalang ay magpahinga. Tila rin nawala ang kalasingan ko magmula ng mapagtantong baka nga si Adonis ang humila sa akin palabas ng bar na 'yon!

No, Yana. If he's Adonis, he won't leave you there alone. He can't stand leaving you even just for a minute! Pero paano nga kung siya 'yon? Ayaw niya na ba talaga akong makita dahil sa ginawa kong pagtataboy sa kan'ya?

"Yana, go to your room. Magpahinga ka na, lasing ka oh!" Asik ni Dein. Masama ang tingin nito sa akin dahil kasalukuyang nakahiga na ako sa sofa.

"Dein, I'm not drunk, okay? Chill," I chuckled. I closed my eyes and tried to compose myself. Hindi talaga ako pwedeng magkamali kanina. It was his smell!

"Silly, you're drunk! You can't even open your eyes for long!"

I half-open my eyes and looked at her. "Dein... I saw him." I saw how she halted but immediately composed herself.

"Saw who?"

"Adonis," Mapait kong sinabi at pinigilan ang luhang gusto na namang kumawala sa mga mata ko. Bakit ba pagdating sa gagong 'yon e napaka-iyakin ko?

Goodness! Way back before our paths crossed once again, I just wanted to be successful and live my life to the fullest. Love is out of my mind. I couldn't even find myself having a crush or something like that. Sapat na sa akin na masaya ako sa natatamasa ko noong kasiyahan.

But when he came again, he broke the walls and made me remember everything I had long forgotten. My heart beats for him once again and he started invading my system as if he knew that I'm all his. That I'm willing to give myself to him because he owns me since time immemorial.

I think that's just really how it is when you love someone. Because when you love someone, you lose control. That's what love is. Being powerless.

When it comes to loving someone, you're a slave. It's driving you wild and crazy but in a good way. It's part of life anyway.

"But... He didn't stayed with me. Ayaw niya na siguro talaga sa'kin 'no?" Tumawa ako kahit pa nakatakas na ang luha sa mga mata ko. Gusto kong sabunutan ang sarili ko sa sobrang frustrasyon na nararamdaman ngunit hindi ko ginawa.

"Llantina..." She softly said.

"Kaya siguro mabilis din siyang nawala kanina kasi... kasi ayaw niya 'kong makita. For him, seeing me means breaking his own heart and losing his dignity in process." I cried. Dein pulled me in her arms and hugged me tight.

"Hush, Yana. Don't ever think that way, okay?"

"B-But I just can't help it..." I murmured, trying so hard to keep myself awake even though drowsiness is starting to pull me into slumber. "I-I'm hurting too, you know? But I think... I deserved all of this pain..."

"Yana—" I didn't hear the next thing she says. Biglaan nalang akong hinila ng antok at nakatulog sa kan'yang mga bisig.

If he doesn't want me anymore, I can't do anything about it then. Ayoko namang ipilit ang sarili ko sa taong ayaw na sa'kin. I deserved this. I deserved all the pain I'm feeling right now. I hurt him so much just because of my stupidity.
