VIP Series #2 (Zander Zanford) The Ruthless (COMPLETED)

Chapter 49 (Can You Choose Me Again?)

Bago pa man makapanik aa itaas ng bahay ni Zander si Ellie ay nahatak na sya ng binata sa paraang hindi naman sya nasaktan.

"Wait Ellie, please, can we talk about what you said a while ago?" Zander asked her.

"There's nothing to talk about Zander, I'm sorry" ani Ellie na ngayon ay hilam na ng luha ang mga mata.

"Ellie, please, ayan ka na naman, you will tell me again that there's nothing to talk about pero in fact meron naman talaga? can't you be honest just this once?" Naiinis na sabi ni Zander sa kaharap na babae.

"What do you want to hear Zander? what do you want to know? na nasasaktan ako ngayon at nagsisisi ako na pinakawalan ko yung chance na mabuo tayo ni Zaki as a family? na naiinggit ako kay Kate kasi sya na ang mahal mo ngayon? na mahal pa din kita ganon?" bahagyang tumaas ang boses ni Ellie matapos sabihin ang nga salitang iyon.

"Of course not!! I just want you to be honest okay? I want you to reach out to me? to tell me what's going on in your mind, what are you thinking? because the last time you hid the truth to me and to yourself, we lost each other, and I don't want that to happen again, I mean ,I don't want to loose you as my friend, I don't want to ruin our co parents relationship for the sake of Zaki!" Zander frustratingly said.

Natulala ng sandali si Ellie, as a friend??? hanggang dun nalang ba sya kay Zander? is it really over and done?

"Okay, you want me to tell you the truth? well here it is, I'm so wrecked, kasi kung kailan narealize kong mahal pa kita at handa na akong tanggapin ka sa buhay naming mag ina, wala ng chance, may Kate kana eh, yun ba gusto mong marinig ha Zander? oh eto pa, gusto mo din bang marinig na sabihin kong , can you choose me again? over Kate? mahirap diba? kaya hanggat maaari ayoko ng balikan ayoko ng isipin, ayoko ng magtanong, kasi alam ko na yung sagot, it is right in front of me, you are happy now with her, and whether I like it or not, you will never chooose me again" sobrang kirot sa pakiramdam ni Ellie habnah sinasabi nya ang mga bagay na iyon kay Zander.

Napatitig lang si Zander sa kaniya, tila inaarok ang mga bagay na nais nya pang sabihin at kung ano ang isasagot nito sa kaniya.

"Oh diba? hindi mo naman ako pipiliin ulit eh, kaya kesa makasira ako ng pagsasama, mas pinipili kong sabihin na okay lang lahat,kahit na ang totoo, durog na durog ako Zander, kasi mahal na mahal pa kita eh, pero wala na eh, nay Kate na, I can't snatch you from her, at malamang hindi ka din naman magpapa agaw, so what's the point?" may hinanakit na sabi ng babae.

"I'm sorry Ellie, I didn't know you feel that way, I didn't realized that you are going through something, ang pagkaka alam ko kasi, okay kana, masaya ka ng wala ako, kaya nga diba ni reject mo ako nuon kasi hindi mo ako mapatawad? I'm sorry for causing you pain unintentionally, and most of all I'm sorry because I can't choose you now" parang bombang sabi ni Zander kay Ellie.

As if on cue, pumatak muli ang masasaganang luha sa mukha ni Ellie.

"It's okay, Kate is a good woman, she deserves you, and you deserve her, I got my chance, I let it slipped away, ganon ang buhay, may nawawala may pumapalit, nasa huli talaga ang pagsisisi" after saying that to Zander, Ellie went straight to their room.

Naiwang nakatulala ang binata, sana nuon Ellie, yan ang biglang sumagi sa isip ni Zander, sana nuon sinabi mo na yan, para hindi na tayo nahirapan ngayon.

Samantala, when Ellie reached the alloted room for her and Zaki, nadatnan nya duon si Tessa, tila nag aantay ito sa kaniya.

"Besh, narinig ko lahat, gusto mo ba ng yakap?" alok ni Tessa sa kaibigan.

Parang bata naman na sinunggaban ng yakap ni Ellie ang kaibigan, she needs someone now, someone who can understand her and someone she can cry to.

Downstairs is Zander, he decided to go out for a drink, inaya nya di Nick, he is the only person na makaka intindi sa kaniya ngayon, he alaso invited Adam yun nga lang hindi nya alam kung makakasunod ito dahil may pinuntahan din daw ang kapatid nya.
