34 - Fifteen
It was Reizo Aillard Saavedra.
Some people flocked in our place and some were never minding the commotion Reizo did. Great!
"What are you doing, Reizo?!" I shouted because of the blasting sound inside the bar.
"Let's get you home." Malamig na sabi niya pero hindi ko ininda. I shook my head and looked at Link again, whose lips had blood on it because of Reizo's punch.
"Are you okay, Link?" Nag-aalalang tanong ko sa kanya na tinanguan niya naman at ngumiti sa akin.
"No need to worry, Kaela. I am fine." Mahinahon niyang sabi sa akin.
Nakita kong lumapit si Rion kay Link. "Damn, man. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. No big deal." Sagot naman ni Link sa kanya.
"Sorry, Kaela," Rion uttered before turning to his brother, who was still shooting daggers to Link.
Sinamaan ko nang tingin si Reizo na mukhang naramdaman niya dahil bumaling siya sa akin.
Ilang segundo kaming nagtitigan at walang nagsalita nang dumating si Solandis. Before I looked away from Reizo, I rolled my eyes at him, which made him blink a few times, and caught his lips turning upward for a smirk before I finally glanced at Solandis.
Nakita ko rin si Mischa sa tabi ko at napapailing na lang sa nangyari.
"I'm sorry, Solandis. It was too sudden. Hindi ko alam bakit sinuntok niya si Link."
"It's fine. It's not your fault." She replied to me.
Tumingin naman ako kay Mischa nang bumaling si Solandis kila Rion. Hindi ko na rin narinig ang sinabi niya dahil kinausap na ako ni Mischa.
"Galit na galit, Kaela. Maybe he had a reason." Sabi ni Mischa at tinuro si Reizo na makikita pa rin ang galit sa mata niya habang umaalis sila Link sa pwesto namin.
"What reason? He just threw a punch at Ridge." I stated.
"Remember? You need to listen and hear his reasons." Paalala niya sa mga sinabi ko noon.
I closed my eyes before opening them. I nodded at Mischa and looked in Reizo's direction, who was currently watching me.
"Let's talk, Reizo." Mariin kong sabi at tumalikod na.
"Okay, baby..." I heard his low baritone voice behind me.
When we reached the parking lot, I stopped and turned to look at him. Mataman niya naman akong tinitignan. Ang hangin sa labas ay malamig dahilan para manginig ako kasabay na rin ang paraan ng titig ni Reizo sa akin.
This is the first time that we were this close. Sa mga panahong umalis ako ay hindi rin kaila ang pagbisita ni Reizo dito pero hindi siya nagpakita at nababalitaan ko lang kay Mischa.
Tuwing may okasyon kasama ang mag Saavedra dito ay wala siya. But he never failed to send me gifts every occassion and never forgot my birthday...
He maintained his distance and never showed himself to me.
Ngayon lang... at gulat ako dahil sa pagkakataong ganito pa ko siya makikita at ganito ang ginawa niya.
"Why did you punch him? Wala siyang ginagawang masama sa'yo!" Ani ko.
"He's fooling you. That fucking asshole!" His cold baritone voice emanated in the air.
"What are you talking about? And don't call him that! He's Link. That is his name." Galit kong sabi sa kanya.
