Love The Way You Lie

09

"Ang lakas din ng loob mo ano? You just came in the picture out of nowhere and you'll proudly say that you're her finace? Are you out of your mind? She doesn't even love you kaya hindi siya obligadong pakasalan ka!" Jacob exclaimed.

"Come on, Kim. It's just a waste of time to argue here. You want to talk with me, right?" Lucas offered his hand but Jacob hold my hand firmly.

I don't know why but my father's voice echoed in my mind. I remember all the words he use that hurts me.

"I want you to fulfill your role as Silvia even once. Don't disappoint me, Calista. I am expecting a lot from you. This is just a simple sacrifice."

"This is the only thing that you can do to be useful in our family, so do a great job."

"Can you two at least give Calista a time to think and have a peace of mind even for a moment?" I heard Askana blurted. I almost forget that my friends are still here.

Huminga ako ng malalim atsaka binitawan ang kamay ni Jacob. Nakita ko ang gulat at sakit sa mata niya.

I immediately hugged him because if this is the last time I want to at least feel his warmth. I will swear his warmth into my heart so that, at any time, if I feel lonely. I can still feel you.

"I will find my way back to you, Jacob." bulong ko atsaka siya binitawan. napabaling ako sa tatlo kong kaibigan na hindi mapakali dahil puno ng pagaalala ang kanilang mga mukha. I give them a smile to assure that I will be fine.

Inabot ko ang kamay ni Lucas at mahigpit niya 'yong hinawakan.

"Calista! No! You can't do this to me!" rinig kong sigaw ni Jacob ngunit hindi ko siya nilingon. Habang patuloy ako sa paglalakad ay patuloy din ang pag-agos ng mga luha ko.

Sumakay kami sa kotse niyang kulay abo na naka park. Hindi na'ko nagulat na Lamborghini Countach ito. Base on the information that Askana gave me he's still 20 years old and he already owned a company.

Tahimik lamang kami buong byahe ngunit nagulat ako nang abutan niya ako ng panyo.

"I don't need it." matigas na sabi kobat binalewala siya. Hindi na siya nagsalita at inihinto sa gilid ang kanyang sasakyan.

Nag-init ang pisngi ko nang punasan niya ang luha mula sa mga mata ko. Hindi siya umimik at muling nagmaneho. Iniwas ko na lamang ang tingin sa kanya. I he guilty? If he is then I can still persuade him to stop this damn arrange marriage.

Kinakabahan akong pumasok na sigurado akong condo unit niya. Pagkapasok ay napatakip agad ako ng ilong dahil sa amoy ng sigarilyo.

Nangunot ang noo niya. "Do you have allergy in cigarettes?" he asked.

Umiling ako bago nagsalita. "I just don't like the smell of it so I'll vomit. Can we just talk in the restaurant?"

Hindi niya ako pinansin at hinila papasok sa kwarto. Hinawi ko ang kamay niya at naalarma. It's his room. I've been here before. The style of its furnitures is black and he have a big portrait of him above his bed.

"You don't need to be on your guard dinala kita dito dahil I don't smoke in my room. We will just going to talk. Have a sit." naupo ako sa kulay itim niyang couch.

"What drinks you want me to get?" tumayo siya.

"Let's just get straight to the point. What are you planning? Why did you decide to choose me? What the hell are your reasons para guluhin ang buhay ko?" galit kong tanong.

He sit and cross his legs as he looks at me very calm.

"I really like that attitude of yours." he said and smirk. "It makes me want to shut it with my mouth." aniya na nagpanginig sa buong sistema ko.
