His Everyday Nightmare (El Vergara Series 2)

Chapter 34

CHAPTER 34

Filling

It's 2AM. I was still awake. I can't sleep. All of Jai's words are like music to my ears. It keeps on playing. I get up and went straight to my kitchen. I opened the ref and get a glass of fresh milk. Hot milk sana 'yun, kaso ayoko nang magpa-init ulit sa heater.

I sat on my dinning area and just busied myself looking around. Para na akong tanga. The dim lights in the dinning gives me more emotional.

"Rain, get yourself straight!" I murmured then get my grip on the glass of milk.

I remember vividly how Jai talked to me like nothing happened years ago. I can't just get away when all I waited to hear was his side.

"Caroline, if you don't want to hear me, then-"

I cut him off, "Just tell me everything... I don't want to get my hopes up. This is for our own good." I said. I sat on the passenger's seat back when we calmed down ourselves.

I know I waited for this. Kailangan kong marinig lahat. Everything that was so blurry years ago.

Silence filled us inside the car. Walang nagsasalita. Nakiramdam lang kami pareho kung ano ang tamang mga salitang ipapalabas. We're wounded, and we don't want to spice it up again. Years ago was full of shit. And I wanted to forgive myself for longing everything that in the first place, hindi ko naman kasalanan.

"You are charged of attempted murder by Dela Fuerto. For you know... I was against with this. The only way to get rid of that was for you to be sentenced. I consult a private lawyer about self defense. But I lose my hope when I knew that my family was also plotting something for you and your family- so that your family will not file against them." He started.

I closed my eyes upon hearing that incident. If only they knew the shits that I experienced on that day. I was almost got raped- no, technically that was raped!

I saw how Jai's fist closed. As if it was also unbearable for him to tell this story to me. Lahat bumabalik. The pain that I've feeling, the traumas and all. You can't undo it anymore. That was engrave to me, it was all engraved to me until the day I die. Do you think this will just disappear? No! It will forever haunt me! 

"Famie's family owns a media company. They need help from us, so they ride on to the problem. They'll help the family to close the rumored drug party in return I will marry Famie. Fucking arranged marriage." I felt his anger this time as I saw how he tighten his grip on the steering wheel.

"And they will drop the case on me?" I coldly ask, looking to the window.

Ilang segundo akong hindi nakarinig ng sagot.

"They'll drop the case once the engagement happens. Your mom tried to file rape case, but was dismissed, because Dela Fuerto pulled a string." He sighed heavily. I could feel how heavy that was. I could feel  guilt all over his words.
