Psycho Series #1: Chasing His Obsession

Chapter 37

I automatically smile when Lawson hugged me from the back and lean his head onto my shoulder. All I can do is look at him from the length size mirror in front of us.

He is tall but he managed himself to hug my little self. He slowly move his head to see himself in the mirror, he laugh a bit like something popped out in his mind.

"I can't still believe you're here, here in my arms. This isn't what I expected for being gone for years."

I stayed my eyes in the mirror as I caressed his cheek gently. "As you said before, don't expect." I still remember those words makes me change and choose myself. "I'll gave you a chance, this is the last. If you broke my heart again," I can see how he still from my back but still continue what I want to say. "We're done."

He quickly turn me around to face him. I can see both confusion and fear on him. "N-no...you won't do that...take it back.." he's terrified I can sense that

I locked my eyes to his. "Why Lawson?"

He held my both hands and place on his both cheek. "J-Just take it back. I don't want that."

Marahan na binawi ang parehong kamay mula sa kanya at ngumiti. "Then, don't break my heart like you used to do."

...

"Sav? Are you listening?"

I snapped with Koufox's voice. Naguguluhan na napabaling sa kaliwa kung saan na nagdadrive si Koufox. "Huh? Oo ganon na nga."

Nangunot lalo ang masungit na kilay neto. "Are you high?"

I fastly looked away and sit properly. "N-No. Kulang lang sa tulog. Sorry..."

Saglit na katahimikan ang namayani. Tama naman siguro 'yong sinabi ko kanina kay Lawson, that's better to make him stop from breaking my heart like before.

I play with my fingers while my eyes in the road, acting busy looking those cars in front. Kasi naman, ramdam ko 'yong tingin ni Koufox sa'kin.

Napasinghap ng hinampas niya ang kamay ko kaya't napatigil ako sa paglalaro ng daliri.

"Stop thinking too much. May gumugulo ba sa isip mo?"

He really know me.

I bow down my head trying to avoid his eyes. "It's nothing, Koufox." Mabilis na tanggi ko

He tsked. "Last time you said nothing you tried to kill yourself for thinking too much."

I stilled for realization. He's right. How can i forget that? Argh.

I bit my lower lip. "I feel guilty for what I've said to Lawson." I finally said it

"Ano bang sinabi mo?" He asked furtherly

At sinabi ko na sa kanya hanggang sa makarating na kami sa ospital kung saan ako magiinternship. Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto at agad akong nagpasalamat.

I stilled when he pinched my nose. I confusely looked up. May maliit na ngisi ang nakasilay sa labi niya. "You said the right thing, idiot. You don't have to stress yourself out."

Dahil sa sinabi niya medyo gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. "You think so? I'm not bad?"

Umiling agad siya. "You never been bad, it's him." He corrected me

I pouted. "But Lawson has reason for leavi--"

He cut me off. "Stop with the reason. If he really like you, he'll never do that to you." He tapped my shoulder. "Stop thinking, okay? Just focus with your internship."

Pilit akong ngumiti at tumango. "Btw, bat hindi mo pala sinama si Lia? Nasa bahay naman siya kanina, magtampo pa 'yon."

He chuckle a bit. "She's lazy now."
