Brutal (Sour Hour Series #5)

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Living in this society where a lot of judgmental people are here, I realized that we shouldn't be one of them. We shouldn't judge people easily based on their actions. In our lives, there are three points of view. Your own point of view, the people's point of view, and the person's point of view. That's why instead of judging them… why don't we just silence our voices and let them live their own lives?

But then, I know that people like them can't really be avoided in this world because we're now living in a new society. That's why, we shouldn't tolerate them, we should teach them good because this is not the end of the world.

I suddenly remember what Jainx did to me before. Correcting me into the right path. I'm glad and happy that there's still a person like him, a man who doesn't tolerate a person if she's doing bad. Even though that person might be mad at him, he still continues correcting their path.

Sa mga nakalipas na araw simula nang malaman ni Jainx ang buong katotohanan, napansin kong mas lalo lang siyang nagiging protective sa'kin. Alam kong ginagawa niya ito para mapaniguradong ayos lang ang kalagayan ko.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya. "Pinagtitinginan ka na kanina pa ng mga kasama ko rito. Baka isipin nila na… tayo…"

He smirked. "Let them think what they want, as long as we're minding our own business."

Hindi pa namin napag uusapan ang sa aming dalawa, kung magkakabalikan pa ba kami or mananatili na lang kaming bilang kaibigan.

Kung ako ang tatanungin, hindi rin ako sigurado. Pero… alam ko sa sarili kong mahal ko siya. But, ayoko munang madaliin ang lahat. After I totally healed… Yes. After the pain goes away in my heart.

For now, we're going to set aside our feelings for each other. Importante pa rin sa akin na mahuli si Papa at ang dalawa pang lalaki na gumawa no'n sa'kin.

I just want justice, and I hope… after I got my justice… I will now totally heal.

Sa tuwing fashion show ko, lagi kong nakikita si Jainx sa VIP seats at pinapanood ako. I noticed how his eyes only looked at me, even though there's a woman in front of me.

At nang matapos at may after party na namang naganap, nagulat ako nang makita siya roon kasama ang mga pinsan niya. He just waved his hands at me, tumayo rin siya para ipag usod ako ng upuan. And while he was doing it, he whispered.

"Did you receive the flowers?"

My brows furrowed. "I received so many flowers. Alin doon?"

"The pink and purple one,"

"Ahh! Those beautiful flowers? Sa'yo pala 'yon galing?"

"Did you like it?" he simply asked.

I nodded. "Of course,"

Dahan dahan siyang tumango at bumalik na sa kinauupuan niya. Dumating na ang foods para sa amin. Kinuwit pa ako ng mga kasama ko kaya agad akong napatingin sa kanila.

"Is Jainx hitting up on you? So lucky…" sila sabay ngumiti sa'kin.

Hindi na lang ako sumagot at nanatiling tahimik. Marami na rin kasi talagang nakakapansin no'n at kapag tinatanong ako, tahimik lang ako. Ayoko rin namang sumagot, baka iba pa ang masagot ko. Atsaka, gaya ng sinabi ko, we're going to set aside our feelings first.

Nang makauwi ako sa bahay, agad kong kinuha ang bulaklak na sinasabi ni Jainx. Tinignan ko ang loob no'n at nakakita ng isang letters na nakabalot sa isang envelope.

To my dearly Verlyian,

I hope you have a nice day ahead. Don't forget to smile and laugh. Always remember that I'm here for you. I love you so much. Eat at the right time, anyways. :))
