Make The Boyish Fall In Love✓

Chapter 33

Zhyro Blaine's Point of View

I was only observing Mac as she teased Leiro. You can see the delight on her face and in her eyes, and I'm pleased with where she is right now. My decision to broke up with her was not in vain. Nothing was squandered.

"Zhyro..."

From the kitchen door Zac came out. He was staring at me intently, as if he had noticed my stare at Mac. I sighed and stared at Zac, emotionless. He motioned for us to leave.

I'm sure he'll ask me why I ended my relationship with Mac.

He walked before me. We went to the garden and even before I could sit down he immediately punched me. Maybe he's been wanting to do this for a long time.

I sat down after Zac punched me hard in the face, and I tasted a little blood on my lips. I can't blamed him at all. I broke up with his twin, without explaining why.

"Why did you broke up with Mac?" He seriously ask.

"I did that because I have my own reason."

"Whatever the fuck your reason is, you should have told up what is it! But no, you didn't! F*ck you, Zhyro! Hindi ako naniniwalang dahil lang nawalan ng oras si Mac sa iyo ay makikipaghiwalay kana sa kaniya," he asked.

"Please, Zac, hear me out. Listen to my explanation."

"Oh, sige. Mag-explain kang putangina mong hayop ka! Sabihin mo sakin kung bakit ka napagod, gago ka! Napagod!? Buwisit ka!"

Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako dahil sa sunod-sunod na pagmumura niya. No wonder, the are twins. They love to cussed.

"You knew that my Uncle and Kuya are police, right? Mac didn't know about Uncle and my Kuya's job. They were currently working about some drug case that time. We were endanger because of that shits. They were targeting our family. Kailangan kong makipaghiwalay kay Mac para hindi siya ang maging target ng mga sindikato. And I also found that Mac was having a hard time. I come to your house every day and I see her tired because of your practice. She's doing her best to have time with me but she's busy. I couldn't bare to risk her life. It was her safety we're talking about. I'll do everything to make her safe, even if I have to broke up with her. It was the only way I knew. I was just 17 years old boy that time and I can't protect her."

***FLASHBACK***

"Ito na ang huling pagkikita natin at ito na rin ang huling pagkakataon na sasabihin ko 'to sa iyo. Mahal kita, Zhyro Blaine Acosta, ang tukmol ng buhay ko. And goodbye."

Tahimik lang akong lumuluha habang nakikinig sa mga sinasabi niya. I want to hug her. Wipe her tears. Kiss her and tell her everything is fine. And I want to tell her that I can't break up with her, but I can't. This is something I have to do for her own protection.

After she kissed my forehead, I heard a footsteps and a sound of a closed door. I opened my eyes and let my tears fall down. She's gone, I knew it. She left me. Iniwan na ako ng babaeng mahal ko.

I hugged my pillow and imagine it was her. I cried and cried. I don't know what to do anymore. My family's endangered.

"Anak..."

"Mom."

My mom lay down and I hugged her. Para akong isang bata na inagawan ng candy habang umiiyak sa mama ko. Ang hina-hina ko, wala akong magawa. Bakit kasi mahina ako? Bakit kasi hindi ko siya kayang ipatanggol? Bakit kailangang mangyari ang ganitong bagay?

"Shh, it's okay, anak. Everything will be alright," pag-aalo sa akin ni Mommy.

"Stop saying that, Mom. Everything is all a mess. My Mac is gone, she left me. She'll go abroad and continue her training at maiiwan akong mag-isa rito. Gusto ko siyang protektahan sa mga masasamang tao but I can't. I'm weak. Dahil lang doon ay nagkahiwalay kaming dalawa. I need her, Mom. I don't want her to leave me."

"Anak, you did a great job actually. Letting her go is a great choice, you know why? She will continue her career and I know she will be a successful singer someday. 'Di ba you told me that it was her dream? This is the perfect timing for her dream. And you protected her, anak. Hindi man ipinaglaban na protektahan pero ang protekta na ibinigay mo sa kaniya ay ang protektang magiging dahilan kung bakit maililigtas. We are currently facing a big problem right now. Mac's been busy with her training and I know you are tired, too. You were always seeking for her. Pareho n'yong ipinaglaban ang isa't-isa. Siya na naghahanap ng oras para makasama ka at ikaw na pinalaya siya para maprotektahan siya," malumanay niyang saad habang nkayakap sa akin.

"Mom, it hurt. Sobrang sakit, hindi ko alam kung paano dadaloy ang buhay ko kung wala siya. Mahal na mahal ko siya, Mom. I can't let her go but I have to, in order to keep her safe. I was thinking twice if I should let her go or not. Mom, I love her. I can't live without her. I know, I'm just too young for this kind of feeling but, Mom, she's the one. She's the one I want to marry. Mom, please, hindi ba puwedeng dito na lang tumira si Mac?"

"Anak, listen to me, kung dito titira si Mac ay maaaring madamay pa ang kaniyang pamilya. Malaking sindikato ang binabangga ng Kuya at Uncle mo. Kung kayo talaga para sa isa't-isa ay gagawa ang tadhana para magkatuluyan kayong dalawa. Live, anak, mabuhay ka kahit wala na siya. Para rin naman sa inyong dalawa 'to," paliwanag niya.

Pilit kong iniintindi ang mga sinasabi ni Mom. I understand her naman but I really can't. I love Mac, so much. Mas nasaktan pa nga ako even though I'm the one who broke up with her. Bawat luha at iyak nya ay doble-doble ang balik noon sa akin.

"I have decided, Mom, I want to be a police. I'll protect Mac kung sakali man na bumalik siya rito."

***END OF FLASHBACK***

"That's the reason why I broke up with her."

I saw Zac smiled and hug me.

"Man! You did a great job! Akala ko naman napagod ka talaga sa kapatid ko. Tangina ka! Sasapakin talaga kita! Gago ka kasi! Hindi ka manlang nagsabi sa akin kung bakit ka nakipagbreak sa kapatid ko. Akala ko naman ay walang kuwenta iyang rason na sinasabi mo na 'yan. Mabuti na lang at kinausap kaagad kita! Tangika talaga! Mahal mo pa ba ang kakambal ko?"Masaya nyang saad at dinamba ako ng yakap.

"Hindi naman nagbago ang nararamdaman ko sa kaniya. Mula noon hanggang ngayon ay mahal ko pa rin siya."

"Kung mahal mo pa rin siya hanggang ngayon, bakit ang cold mo sa kaniya?" He asked again.

"This is me, when Mac left. Naging cold ako sa ibang tao. Nawalan ako ng gana, she was my happiness back then but she left. The moment she left, the source of my happiness gone."

"Tsk, ang hina mo naman. Dapat unang araw mo pa lang na kita sa amin ay niyakap mo na kaagad siya," he said.

"I can't."

"Why?" He curiously asked.

"Muling nabubuhay ang sindikato. May spy sa grupo namin at may kutob na ako kung sino iyon pero I have to find more evidence so that I can put those bastards in jail. Delikado ang buhay ni Mac ngayon but I'll do everything to protect her."

"Paano 'yan? Mukhang wala ng nararamdaman sa iyo ang kakambal ko," saad niya kaya napngisi na lang ako.

"Then I'll make the boyish fall in love again."

"Naks, ganiyan nga, Zhy. Palambutin mo ulit ang kakambal ko. Masyadong matigas simula noong naghiwalay kayong dalawa."

Ngumiti ako at niyakap siya. At least kahit sa kakambal niya ay nakapagpaliwanag na ako. Tinapos ko na ang pag-uusap namin at pumasok na sa loob ngunit agad kong nahagip ang isang bulto.

Alam kong nakikinig siya sa pinag-uusapan namin kanina ni Zac. Ngunit wala na akong pakialam kung marinig niya man iyon o hindi dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na kaya kong protektahan si Mac, ngayon.

Ngumisi ako sa direksyon ng taong iyon at tuluyan na kaming pumasok sa loob.
