CHAPTER 35
M E R C Y'S POV
I SUDDENLY WANT to regret and just want myself to disappear, right now. Tila nagsisisi ako ngayon na sumama pa ako kay Achlys. I know I can't say 'no' to Achlys. But sometimes I just think that I should have said it. Ever since na dumating kami kanina ni Achlys, his uncle seems to be having some uncomfortable convo's to Achlys, while I was just being silent in the corner.
Para bang pinapatamaan ako― and I was uncomfortable with it. Kasi baka anytime magtanong si Achlys and i-reveal ni Lufer yung lahat― patay ako nito. I know he is just testing me― like torturing me with his triggering words. Talagang nakakanerbyos, I can't let Achlys know everything. He'll...― I'm afraid to say this but I know if ever he will know everything.
He'll... hurt me... again. At ayokong mangyari iyun. He will be mad and... like supper mad― and then he will hurt me. Like, how he did in the past. I must admit nagpakatanga ako, and the scars was still here. I maybe physically heal, but my heart is still... mending. Yes, I always forgive him but it doesn't mean I enjoyed and forgot about the pain. Nakastock lang siya.
It was sort of― confusions, para bang sinasabi mo sa sarili mo― that maybe it isn't real and maybe... maybe things will change tomorrow. I'm still confuse to accept the pain and just chooses to forgive. Like the pain was not the main thing to me. Tila mas pinokus ko yung sarili ko sa kanya. I was not selfish at all. After all that is what love is for, right? Being selfless.
Having a dinner with the devil and being also with the person I love is somehow scares me. Hindi ko alam kung anong nakabantay sakin na pangyayari sa bahay na ito. Baka... baka hindi na ako makalabas dito. Hindi ko talaga maiwasang hindi matakot. Like, who woudn't? Especially if you are dinning in with the person who you consider as your biggest enemy.
"So, how's the searching of the princess?" Tila napako naman ako sa kinauupuan ko nang marinig ko iyun. But I continued on chewing the food that was on my mouth. Nakikita ko sa side ko that Lufer is glancing at me and back to Achlys― who has a serious face.
"Still searching. Talagang magaling talaga matago yung princesa nila. We have been searching for months now― kung alam ko palang na may anak iyun, I should have search for her years ago. Pero wag kang mag-alala, Uncle. I, I wil find that princess."
