SALVATORE #1: Loving the Prostitute

CHAPTER 67

"You're a bitch," naibulalas ko pero parang wala lang iyon sa kanya. She shrugged and continued eating.

"Hindi mo ba bibisitahin ang lola mo?"

"Para ano? Makita mo ang babaeng iyon at landiin ka?"

That wasn't what I mean. What the fuck. Ilang buwan na rin siyang hindi binibisita ang lola niya. I was just concerned.

"Rylee, I already have you. Sa tingin mo magpapalandi pa ako sa iba?" Her face softened.

"Okay. I'll visit her tomorrow. I trust you, okay? Don't let that bitch flirt you."

She's not even talking, landiin pa kaya. Isang beses ko lang siya narinig magsalita.

We went to her grandmother's house and I never see that kid. I don't know if she's avoiding me o hindi ko talaga siya nakikita.

But one afternoon, I saw her with her uniform. She was walking to the garden alone. Gaya ng dati ay wala akong makitang emosyon sa mukha niya.

I waited for her and she stopped when she noticed me. She raised her eyebrow at me and I did the same thing.

"What? You look like a devil in those eyes," sambit ko. Umiling lang siya at tinalikuran na ako.

I was pissed. Madali lang sa kanyang gawin 'yon? Tangina. Nakakainis na ang batang 'yan. Ang tagal bago ko siya nakita tapos lalagpasan lang niya ako?

"You're such a bitch!" Inis kong habol pero kumaway lang siya patalikod. Ginulo ko ang buhok ko. Talaga lang ha.

Ang iksi pa ng uniform. Gano'n na ba ang mga uniporme ngayon? Gano'n kaiksi? Buti sana kung maganda ang hita niya. Mas lalo akong nainis. What the fuck.

"L-Luca, she's dead," naluluhang sabi ni Rylee. Nilapitan ko agad siya.

"Who?"

"H-Her, Luca. My grandmother is dead."

Humagulhol siya at napayakap ako sa kanya. Minsan nararamdaman kong nagpapanggap lang si Rylee pero pinagsasawalang bahala ko na lang.

We went to her grandmother's funeral and I couldn't see where that kid is. Where is she? Wala ba siyang utang na loob? She was favored more than Rylee. Siya pa 'yung ampon at mas gusto ng lola ni Rylee pero wala siya rito?

"Where's the adopted daughter? Wala ba siyang utang na loob?" tanong ko habang hawak ang kamay niya.

Umiling si Rylee bago sumagot. "N-Naglayas siya with my grandmother's money."

My jaws clenched. I gritted my teeth. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako galit pero ang alam ko lang ay galit ako sa kanya.

I comforted Rylee the whole week and there I discovered she was acting the whole time. Hindi ko iyon pinuna at hinayaan na lang siya.

Days passed when I caught her cheating. She was having sex with a random guy. I confronted her and broke up with her immediately.

Galit ako sa kanya hindi dahil sa nasaktan ako. I'm mad because I tolerated her before and she's doing something I couldn't anymore.

"Luca, I'm sorry. Please, let me explain. Let's fix this."

"Umalis ka na. You don't have to explain, you're action did it already."

She keeps begging me to take her back but I never did. She's a cheater and I despised them. Ayaw ko sa lahat ay ang mga kagaya niya.

Nagsawa rin siya at umalis ng bansa. Alam kong hindi siya basta-bastang susuko at may mas malalim pang rason kung bakit. Hindi ko lang alam kung ano at wala akong pakialam.
