Love Game

Chapter 76: Selfish

I am very disappointed with Grace by now. Galit ako sa kanya. Bakit ba kasi ganun siya ka concerned kay Torres? To think siya pa yung nagpahamak sa kanya! The least I expected her to do is to understand me, kung bakit ako ganito.

“Kief bitaw! Masakit na yung braso ko!” sabi niya while struggling to break free from my hold.

Hindi ko siya pinakinggan. I continued dragging her hanggang sa parking lot. I let go of her arm harshly and faced her. Naguilty ako bigla sa ginawa ko. Nasaktan ko siya ng sobra. Hinimas himas niya yung braso niya na medyo namumula pa.

She looked at me fiercely. “Ano bang problema mo ha?!”

I stared at her trying to figure out the right words to say.

“Ano ha?!” galit niyang tanong.

I sighed. “Grace hindi mo ba naiintindihan yun sinabi ko?” I paused. “Kasalanan ni Thomas kung bakit ka napasok sa gulong to!”

“Alam ko!” she shouted. I must admit nagulat ako. She never shouted at me. “Alam ko yun!”

“Yun naman pala eh!” I moved closer to her. “Pero ba’t mo pa pinagtatangol yung Torres na yun ha? Bakit Grace? Dahil mahal mo siya?! Siya na ba yung napili mo ha? Ano?!”

Her jaw dropped in disbelief. I was left dumfounded nung isang malutong na sampal ang nakuha ko sa kanya. “For your information, sa simula pa lang, damay na ako sa gulo niya.”

Unti – unting tumulo yung mga luha niya. She tried to wipe them off pero patuloy pa rin yung tumutulo. “I owe him my life.”

“Kung hindi dahil sa kanya, I wouldn’t even exist in your life.” She continued. “Kaya wala siyang kasalanan kung bakit ako nasa gulong to!”

“Hindi kita maintindihan.” I muttered.

“Right! Hindi mo talaga ako maiintindihan ‘cause you know nothing Kief! Kaya wala kang karapatan para sumbatan ako kung bakit siyang ang kinakampihan ko!” with that, she left.

I was left dumfounded with all those words she said.

“cause you know nothing Kief! Kaya wala kang karapatan para sumbatan ako kung bakit siyang ang kinakampihan ko!” those words kept ringing on my head.

I know nothing. Ano pa ba kasi ang dapat kong malaman? Ano pa ba si Thomas sa buhay niya?

Lying is a sin, pero kailangan ko yung gawin para iligtas siya – si Ella. I never thought that some psychotic girl would just appear and ruin our lives. Kailangan kong protektahan si Ella, kaya kailangan kong magsinungalin sa kanya.

“Von. Hey! Are you listening to me?” I came back to my senses and looked at her.

“Yeah. Yeah whatever.” I muttered.

“Ugh! Right! Iniisip mo na naman ba yung girlfriend mo? Well let me rephrase that..” she paused. “Iniisip mo ba kung paano mo sasabihin sa kanya yung tungkol sa atin?”

“Cut it Mia!” I stood up angrily and looked at her fiercely. “Kahit kailan, I wouldn’t break up with her!”

She stood up as well as she smiled victoriously. “You have no choice but to do that Von. Sooner or later, malalaman niya rin yung tungkol sa atin.”

“I will never marry you Mia. Bear that in mind!” I said and started to walk out the restaurant.

Pero bago pa ako makalabas, she gave her last words that gave me goosebumps. “You have no choice but to choose me Von. Because if not, alam mo ang pwede kong gawin sa Ella mo.”
