Ariana's POV
It's early in the morning and kakauwi ko lang ng bahay from jogging. I feel so refreshed kahit pinagpawisan ako. After so many weeks nakapagjog na rin ako ulit.
I took a shower and got dressed. Balak kong puntahan si Patrick after visiting my cake shop. Dadalhan ko na rin siguro sya ng cake. I missed him already kahit magkasama lang kami kahapon.
Our relationship is getting better. Finally, boyfriend ko na sya at girlfriend nya na ako. He's so sweet. I'm not regretting about giving him another chance. He stopped meeting other girls. He completely changed for me and I love it. Kahit hindi pa sya nag-I-I love you sa akin ay okay lang. We'll take things slow.
Nagmemake up ako when the doorbell rang. Ha? I am not expecting anyone naman. Baka si Patrick! Maybe he misses me too. I giggled like a little kid.
"Oh," I was disappointed. It's Nathan. I haven't seen him since noong nag-away kami ni Patrick sa cake shop because he got jealous.
He smiled weakly. I invited him over and prepared some cookies and orange juice for him. Kainis naman, madedelay ako sa pagpunta sa boyfriend ko.
"Guess you weren't expecting me. Disappointed?" There was pain in his voice. I just smiled at him. Pero kinakabahan ako. How did he notice? Am I that transparent? Geez.
"H-hey, ano ka ba. Okay lang magvisit ka, friends naman tayo eh!" Then I faked a laugh. I noticed that his fists clenched.
"Uhm, magtatagal ka ba? Let me know ha," biro ko. But he remained silent. Ugh! I feel so uncomfortable! Parang hindi si Nathan ang kasama ko!
"Is it too easy for you to dispose me like a trash?!" Nagulat ako. Bigla kasi nya akong sinigawan. He looked me in the eyes and he was angry. Madness burns in his eyes.
"A-ano ka ba, what are you thinking?" I was stuttering. Nagulat na lang ako ng bigla nya akong dambain and he kissed me.
It was a harsh and rough kiss. Pilit ko syang tinutulak but damn! He's strong plus nakadagan sya sa akin. I can taste my blood. Damn it! Ano bang ginagawa nya!
I felt his right hand roamed my body until it found my right breast. Bigla na lang nyang hinimas-himas iyon. Gusto kong umiyak. I feel so violated.
Noong hinahalikan na nya ang neck ko, I found my courage to kick his man part. Para syang hayop na nasaktan. Ha! Serves him right! Kulang pa iyon! He almost raped me!
"Nathan! Ano bang iniisip mo! I can file a case against you!" Sigaw ko. Pinilit nyang makatayo kahit alam kong masakit pa ang man part nya dahil nilakasan ko talaga ang pagsipa doon.
"Go! As if paniwalaan ka nila! Baka nakakalimutan mo, Ariana! I am a lawyer!" Ang kapal ng mukha nya! Akala ko ay magsosorry sya at mahihimasmasan sa ginawa nya!
"Go! Go away! And wag ka ng magpapakita sa akin! Nagkamali ako ng pagkakakilala sayo!" Itinutulak ko sya palabas ng bahay.
Before he leave, he stopped and look at me then smirked. "Lolokohin ka lang ulit ng boyfriend mo. Call me when that happens." And he left.
Hindi iyon mangyayari, Nathan. Because I know, Patrick already loves me. Kahit hindi pa nya sinasabi.
Patrick's POV
I just got home from my parent's house and from my office too. May sarili akong company, by the way.
I told my parents that they will be meeting my girl soon. And yes, I am referring to Ariana. My mom is so excited dahil first time kong magpapakilala ng girlfriend sa kanila. She even told me that before, she thought I was gay. Selena, my little sister was laughing so hard. Si daddy din ay natuwa sa binalita ko.
I am so certain that Ariana is the one. Shit, ang bading man pakinggan pero I think she's destined for me. Pinatino nya ako and she showed me that there's more to life than those fake symbol of happiness. Those clubbing, smoking, and more? I quitted those since we got back together. I wanna be the man she deserves.
Hindi ko pa nasasabi sa kanyang mahal ko sya but I know that the perfect time is near. After meeting my parents, sasabihin ko na sa kanya ng official ang feelings ko. That I love her so much and I am more than willing to spend my whole life loving and serving her.
I wish to surprise her. I bought some flowers for her. Pagdating ko sa village nila, I saw that familiar car then somebody get inside it. It was that Nathan Gomez. Anong ginagawa nya rito? Is he bothering my sweet Ariana again? I quickly drove and reached Ariana's place. Pagkakita ko sa kanya, I hugged her so tight. Damn, I feel nervous. Bakit parang may hindi magandang nangyari? I looked at her and noticed na medyo hilam ang mata nya. I asked her if she cried and she denied. She even laughed.
"Ano ka ba, bakit naman ako iiyak?" She tried to be jolly but I know there is something wrong. Pero hindi ko na rin sya pinilit magsabi. I know she will, maybe just not now. Ang kailangan ko lang gawin ngayon ay i-comfort sya at iparamdam na mahal na mahal ko sya.
"I saw Nathan Gomez. Pumunta ba sya dito? Did he hurt you?" I asked. Umiling sya at niyakap ako ulit. "No, he just dropped by to greet." Sagot nya.
We stayed like that for minutes. Hugging each other, feeling each other. Bigla syang bumitiw at humarap sa akin. "You'll never hurt me again, right?" I nodded and sealed a my promise through a kiss.
