His Beastful Ways

Chapter 26

"D-Doc.L-Lynus" halos kapos hininga ko'ng sambit ng tumayo ako sa harapan nito. Nahihirapan akong tingnan siya dahil sa lakas ng ulan at pareho na kaming basang-basa sa ilalim ng ulan.

Hindi ko mapigilan hawakan ang aking dibdib, nag magsimula itong kumirot. I felt so guilty, I didn't mean to forget about it, akala ko hindi niya tototohanin ang kanyang sinabi. Isa pa sino ba naman ang matinong lalaki ang maghihintay sa taong alam niyang ayaw siyang kausapin.

He raised his head, stared at me, and stroked his hair before he stood up. Lumapit ako sa kanya. Katumbas ng bawat hakbang na aking tinatahak ay pagsikip ang aking dibdib. I'm sorry, hindi ko sinasadya.

We both stood up in front of each other before he urged that gentle smile and said, "Are you done being busy now?" he asks that with the warm tone of his voice.

Mas lalo akong kinain ng aking konsensya dahil sa sinabi niya, dapat galit siya sa akin ngayon, dapat pinagtataasan niya ako ng boses dahil pinaghintay ko siya ng sobrang tagal at sa ilalim ng malakas na ulan. Dapat galit siya sa akin, pero bakit ganito!!!

I was just staring at him, and didn't say any word because I just wanna slap my face right now. I'm hurt, yes. But I'm not that ruthless of other people, I really didn't mean it.

Sobrang sikip ng pakiramdam ko sa aking dibdib, bawat tibok ng aking puso ay tila isang pagtusok ng tinik sa aking puso, I feel the pain of making him wait for so long.

My tears started to shed and I shook my head, "I-I'm s-sorry" I was stuttering when I said that.

Umiyak ako sa kanyang harapan, at pilit isinasampal sa aking sarili ang aking ginawa. I mean, who am I to make him wait like this.

"I'm sorry" I whispered and cried out loud. I tried to cover my face, but before I could do that, he hugged me. Locking me in his arms under the cold strong rain.

As I rested my head on his chest, I burst out and hugged him back. "Sorry, I didn't m-mean it" I uttered. Instead of answering, he just rests his chin on my head and gently caresses my back.

"It's ok, I deserve this haha" malumanay nitong sambit bago ako dahan-dahan inilayo sa kanya at tiningnan ako sa aking mga mata.

Umiling ako at sinabi, "No, you don't deserve this Do---" he cut me out with a peck of kiss. I was instantly stiff as he did that, he moved away with a smile on his face, bringing out something in his pocket.

Nang buksan niya ito sa aking harapan, my lips parted and slowly, I lift my hands up to my lips and cover it. He can't do this to me, I'm guilty and I did something like this to him and now he's giving me this.

"I'm sorry for what I've said and done that day, I wasn't at peace that time. Also, I got threatened when Cornel started admiring your presence. I was too careless and rumbled and I said bad things to you. The truth is I don't want you to forget about me, please forgive me and Happy birthday, Intern" he whispered, wiping my tears and walking behind me.

He made me wear this Tiffany & Co. necklace that I saw on the internet. If I'm right, I know this would cost 393,246.20 pesos. "I chose this Diamond Vine Circle Pendant in Platinum because it kind of reminds me of you, neat yet simple." he uttered after hooking it in.

Hinarap ko siya at muli niyang pinunasan ang aking mga luha. "Stop crying, it's your birthday, right?" natatawa niyang sambit.

Imbis na sumagot ay agad kong binato sa kanya ang dala kong twalya na medyo basa na rin. "Pumasok ka na sa loob" I said and run away.
