Into The Wild (Mafia Series #2)

23

Bakit ganoon, Fliona? What happened to you? Paulit ulit kong tinatanong yan sa sarili ko. Days had passed since I became that violent to him... I couldn't even face him. I'm embarassed and disappointed to myself.

He didn't fought back. He just... dodged it. Why? Because of that I was near to kill him! It was all my fault.

Paano ko na haharapin mga kapatid niya? Lalo na si Azheaya, I owe her a lot. I owe her my life, Auleona's life... everything! Tapos ganito pa ang ginawa ko.

"Baby... please, talk to me." Lenuel pleaded. He was hospitalized for 2 weeks and he just came home. 

"Leave me alone, Lenuel." I said in a cold voice. "Please, stay away from me..."

"I won't. I don't want." He said. I shook my head, crying. "Fliona, baby. You're being like this for so long. If this is about last two weeks, I don't care. I'm not hurt. Please. Just... talk to me."

"Lenuel naman e'." Umiiyak na sabi ko. "Please don't make everything hard for the both of us." I said.

"I'm making it easier for the both of us..."

"No. You don't understand!"

"How can I understand when you're not saying anything?" He asked softly. "You're not being unfair to me but you're being unfair to yourself, too."

"I really can't understand my wife." I ranted to Nash through Facetime.

She's not vocal to her feelings like my sister, Azheaya! I understand why. They grew up being neglected by their parents and keeping the problems, the thoughts and the true feelings. Hindi nila naranasan na pagtuunan ng pansin ng magulang. I understand it a lot. Especially my sister. I was there at her worst and the lowest.

[Alam mo bro, base sa kwento mo saakin... she's not ok talaga.] Sabi ni Lenuel habang may ginagawa.

"Gago ka pala e', ikaw kaya rape-in ng ex mo tapos matrauma ka, tapos biglang lilitaw para kunin yung mga anak niya ay pagbuntungan ng galit; tapos inuntog pa sa pader. Ano?"

[Hala boss, bakit parang galit ka? Bakir parang kasalanan ko?] Madramang aniya. I gave him a disgust look so he laughed like an idiot. [Tsaka si Alexandra lang naman naging girlfriend ko! Pag naging abogado 'yon, surebol, magiging abogado ni Fliona si Alex. Magaling kaya 'yon makipag away!]

I groaned. How are we friends again? Mas may silbi pa kausap si Gael kaysa sakanya e'.

[Kasuhan mo yung hinayupak na Nyro na 'yon, tapos si Alexandra gawin mong abogado! Wala ng laban yung abogado ni Nyro non!]

"I'm worried." I honestly said. "It'll be hard for her if ever... There's a possibility that she might not able to answer the question na itatanong sakanya. Years passed and she's still in her healing process. It's ok. All I want is for her to be happy, healed and... bring the justice that she deserves."

[Paano naman kaya yung mga kaaaway na pinatay natin no?]

"They deserve it." I said so he laughed his ass off again. "Samuel and Alexandra dated earlier."

[Ano?! Aba, aba, may umaahas ah.]

"Jealous?"

[Syempre! Ako lang ang one and true love non ni Zara ko. Soulmates kami, duh.] Inirapan ko siya. Cheesy.

"Yuck." I said. He laughed again. Hobby niya ba talaga ang tumawa? Ilang taon na kaming mag kaibigan pero di ko talaga gets kung bakit tawa siya ng tawa.
