TYREN's POV

HINATID ko si Kime sa bahay nito, she was passed out when we reach her home. I park my car outside, binuhat ko si Kime. She was saying nonsense stuffs and smiling like an idiot.

I carried her bridal style, kinausap ko ang guard nila at ng makita kung sino ang dala ko, agad ako nitong pinapasok. A maid guided me towards their sala.

I was putting down Kime, when i stared at her face. My heart skipped a beat, making me stop breathing. I bit my lower lip, naglikot ang aking mata sa kaniyang mukha.

Her black eyebrows are furrowed, she looks frustrated sleeping. But when awake, lagi itong nakaarko.

Her jet black hair is mixed with dark brown, kaya sa tuwing tumatama ang liwanag ay tila kulay brown ang buhok niya.

Her eyes are fierce, you can tremble when her eyes lands on you. Her small proud nose is complimenting her kissable lips. It looks like it taste sweet, and looks soft. Her skin is not as white, sakto lang. But you can still see how she blush when she's flustered, shy, or angry.

I smiled,

Beautiful.

Agad akong natauhan dahil sa narinig na mga yapak. I glanced at the front door. I saw her parents. Her Mom, raised an eyebrow at me. She looked at me from head to toe.

Her Dad, looks serious.

"Good evening, Ma'am, Sir." Yumukod ako nang kaunti, showing them respect. They walked towards me and gazed at their drunk daughter.

"What happened to her?" Her Mom uttered, her voice is cold and serious. "She's...tired." Ani ko.

"You can go." Malamig na sabi ng ama ni Kime. That was rude, but i didn't mind that. I was hesitating, pare-parehas kaming tatlo na napalingon kay Kime dahil sa ginawang ingay nito.

"Tyren..." She whispered, but enough for the three of us to hear. I glanced at her parents, who's both brows are furrowed, and her Mom looks very angry at her daughter.

"I want to escape..." She said, tears starting to roll down her cheeks. That made me kneel infront of her. Nagmulat ang kaniyang mata, I wiped the tears on her cheeks.

"Stop crying..." I said.

Fuck, eto na naman. I'm doing things that I usually don't do. She's making me do this!

"Kime, what are you doing?!" Her Mom said, yelling. Kime looked at her parents, and i saw fear crept into her eyes.

"Are they disappointed, again?" She whispered at me, too low that only i can hear. Tears was forming into her eyes.

Disappointed at her?

Why would they be disappointed at her? She's a good daughter, an obedient one. Alam ko, Tasy always rants at me that Kime doesn't usually go with them tuwing aalis sila.

"No, they're not." I whispered at her softly. She sighed.

"What's your name?" Agad akong nag angat ng tingin sa Ama ni Kime. Tumayo ako, at hinarap sila.

"Tyren Mendoza, Sir." Magalang kong sabi, at pormal. "You can leave now, Mister. We would like to talk to our daughter." He said, dismissing me.

My brows furrowed, pero kalaunan ay tumango lang ako. I started walking towards their door, when i heard a sound,

Kime's Mom slapped her. Rage crept inside me, when i saw how helpless Kime was. She's still drunk, when her Mom started yelling at her.

"Ganito ka ba namin pinalaki, ha?! Look at you!" Her Mom spat hurtful words towards her daughter. Nagsalubong ang mata namin ni Kime, pero agad itong nag-iwas ng tingin.

Kinuyom ko ang aking kamay, I wanted to go to her, tell her that she's not a disappointment, but something's stopping me.

Mabigat ang loob ko habang nagmamaneho pauwi sa bahay. I gripped tightly on my steering wheel.

Tangina, gusto kong bumalik papunta sa bahay ni Kime, itakas siya at ilayo sa mga magulang niya. But i know, I can't do that.

That was the only thing in my mind when days passed. I'm here at some random bar, and i messaged my friend to drink with me.

"Why look so miserable, man?" Agad akong nag angat ng tingin at sinalubong si Jayden. He sat beside me and ordered a drink.

"Damn, i know that look. Who's the unlucky girl, huh?" He said teasingly. Sinamaan ko ito ng tingin, he just chuckled.

"I want to take her away from here." I said.

"Hm, why?" Tanong ni Jayden. Umiling ako, walang salita na lumalabas sa aking bibig. Why would i want to take her away?

I remembered her words, her eyes. She's asking for help. My help, to take her away. Agad akong nakaeamdamn ng galit dahil naalala ang sampal sa kaniya ng Ina niya.

"Kuya Tyren?" Agad akong tumingin sa tumawag sa akin, Mikayla and Alexia, my sister's friend.

"Hello, Kuya!" Alexia greeted, I smiled at the both of them.

They greeted me, pero nagpaalam rin kalaunan.

"Aray!" I looked at my side, nakita kong masama ang tingin ni Mikayla kay Jayden. "You're so OA, hindi naman malakas ang pagka bunggo ko sayo" Jayden.

"Hmp, magsorry lang, ayaw pa!" Mikayla said and pulled Alexia away.

"Damn that kid," Jayden said, pinupunasan nito ang shirt niyang basa. I chuckled and drank my drink.

I WENT to Kime's house the day after that, hindi siya sumasagot sa tawag ko, kaya agad kong tinanaw ang bahay nito.

Pumunta ako sa gilid, and i saw her studying at the gazebo. Bakit hindi siya nagliliwaliw kasama ang mga kaibigan niya? She should be having fun, taking a break, not studying.

I picked up a small rock, and throw it at her. She didn't budge, still busy reading. I picked another rock, at tumama iyon sa kaniyang leeg. I saw how her brows furrowed, umangat ang tingin nito.

I picked another, it was not my intention na tumama iyon sa noo niya! Yikes.

Nang magtama ang paningin namin, her brows furrowed at kumunot ang noo nito.

"What are you doing!" She shouted, walking towards me. I smiled, when i saw her angry face.

Damn, cute.
