Loveless Curse

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Faye's POV

“F-faye...”

“W-what's the meaning of this?” I asked almost whispering. My hands are already sweating. I feel completely unprepared for this situation. I don't understand what's happening, but for some unknown reasons, I-I.....I felt.....betrayed.

Napabalik balik ang tingin ko sa kanila. Leo locked his eyes on mine, while Empress...........n-nangungulangot ba siya?

I didn't mind her, muli kong inilipat ang tingin kay Leo. I can feel uneasiness in his eyes. Nang dahil roon, I started to overthink, and I don't like it. Is what I'm imagining are true? Is this hallucinations?

Or maybe I am overreacting? I know my cousin wouldn't dare to do this kind of thing, but......what I saw is.......Oh no! I can't control my tears from falling. Now, all I can feel at this moment is fear. The fear of being left.

Kung pagyakap lang naman hindi ko iyon gagawing big deal, but those words Empress's uttered, what does it mean? I glanced at Leo, I can feel that he's anxious.

“N-no love, it's a m-misunderstanding.” Nauutal na ani niya, Lyra who's beside me was also shocked. My eyes become watery as I hold back my tears.

“Fayeeeeeeeyaaayaaa! Hehehe. Andito kaaa” Ani ni Empress at nagulat ako ng bigla niya akong yakapin. Strange.....Pero naguluhan ako sa sunod  niyang ginawa. Bumitiw ito at umupo sa sahig. Galit akong napatingin kay Leo.

“What did you do to my cousin?!”

I always trusted Empress, and I know hindi niya ito magagawa saakin. Not my cousin. Not her. I am consistent that there's a reason. Maybe it's Leo, but not her.

“Wala akong ginawa.” I sighed, I don't know what to say. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong gawin sa mga oras nato. Napatingin ako kay Empress, and now she's laughing, tapos humihikbi nanaman. Anong nangyari sa kaniya?

“Bakit ganiyan kumilos ang pinsan ko?” Galit ulit akong napatingin kay Leo.

“H-hindi ko alam. Look, I really don't know what happened love, please hear me out. I-”

“Eh bakit siya ganiyan? At saka anong I miss you na narinig ko?! What was that?! Do you have a relationship?!”

“No..I-...d*mn!...please believe me, you know na loyal ako sayo. Faye please-”

“Ang ingay niyo!” Hindi natuloy ang sinasabi ni Leo ng biglang sumigaw si Empress. What is really going on?!

Nilapitan siya ni Lyra at pinatayo, habang ako  ay hindi alam kung magagalit ba ako o ano, nanghihina ako sa mga nakikita ko. I didn't expected this to happen. Pilit kong pinakakalma ang sarili, but then the moment I glanced with Empress, I felt anger towards her........but no! I should trust her. Kung may dapat man akong pagkatiwalaan sa kanilang dalawa, it should be her. But I don't know if I could still trust the man infront of me. Naglalandas na ang mga luha ko and I couldn't stop it.

“W-wala ka ba talagang ginawa?” Kinakabahang tanong ko. Para ng sasabog ang puso ko dahil yung utak ko marami ng iniisip na kung ano, pero this two people, I trust them  so much. I really wished that I'm just imagining things. I don't want to ruin our friendship. Tanging pag-iling naman ang isinagot niya.

“W-why she looks drunk?” I asked again Leo because I can sense a hint of tipsy with hallucinations base from her moves.

“I-I don't know.” Gusto kong mapamura sa sagot niya. I'm not satisfied at his answer at all.

“Okay!” Tanging sambit ko, ang bigat sa dibdib. Pero kailangan kong labanan ang emosyon ko because I believed that there's something wrong. Akmang tatalikod na ako para umuwi dahil hindi ko na ata kayang makipagtinginan sa kanila ng pigilan niya ako. I hate the feeling that I have right now. I should clear my mind first.
