She's Mine

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

I cried.

I'm in the sala, waiting for him while waisting my time on watching cartoons. I can't help but to think what will happen later if he's already here. I don't know what to do. What if galit siya sakin? Tsaka paano kung hindi niya ako pansinin?

Kumunot ang noo ko nang may narinig na boses ng babae sa labas. Tumatawa at tila may kausap. Sumilip ako sa bintana para tignan kung sino. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nakita.

A woman holding Yvo's arms and clinging to him. She looks so happy because of her wide smile. I don't know if Yvo's happy or not. As usual, he's having his poker face.

Mabilis na tinakbo ko ang pinto pero bago ko pa man ito buksan, the door opened itself. Yvo and the woman's eyes immediately landed on me. Tumaas ang isang kilay ng babae sakin.

“Who is she, Adonis?” the woman asked Yvo without breaking the stares at me. Mataray ang mukha niya at— maganda siya. She looks pretty with her makeup. Tapos nakasuot pa siya ng red dress and heels. She looks out of date with— Yvo?

Yvo took his gaze away from me and looked down at the woman. That made my heart tightened like it was hurt. Mabilis na tinago ko ang mga kamay sa likod at mahigpit na kinurot ang palad.

“She's nothing.” his answer made my heart dropped. I can't believe that— I'm just nothing to him after the days being with him. “Come on, let's go to my room.”

Yvo looked at me but he quickly averted his gaze. My eyes dropped on his arm— That wrapped around the waist of a woman I didn’t know. My heart ached, especially when they passed me, left me alone and could not believe what had happened.

My eyes were wet from the tears that were about to escape. I quickly wiped away a tear drop that I hadn’t noticed had fallen. I took a deep breath and calmed myself even as my heart started to constrict.

Well, it was my fault after all. I am to blame.

Nasasaktan na sinara ko ang pinto at tiniis ang sakit— na hindi ko inaasahang babalik pagkatapos ng ilang araw na pagkawala. Days passed, I was happy. I thought, my pains are already gone. Why did it come back?

Napatingin ako sa second floor pero wala na sila doon. Mukhang nasa k-kuwarto na sila ni Yvo. Yvo brought her there which he has never done to me. Sa pagkakakaalala ko ay isang beses lang akong nakapasok doon.

He warned me not to enter his room. And also his office. Yet he invited the woman.

Unfair.

Pumasok ako sa kusina. A sad smile formed on my lips when I saw the foods on the table which I have struggled to do. Yet he didn't bother to look or check all of these. Nice, seems like my luck already left me too.

I cooked. Yes, I did and I failed. Nagluto ako ng egg. I tried my best for fourth times but the all the eggs was overcooked. It's my first time doing this and it's all for him.

Hindi ko tinapon. Pinaghirapan ko 'yon ng ilang oras. I waisted hour and more just to make him a dinner. Yvo used to appreciate all the things that I did or made even it's all fail and bad. He used to compliment me even though all what I've doon are not-so-good.

But the wind seems to be blowing differently. Guess, I just waisted my time...

Masakit ang dibdib na naghila ako ng upuan para sa sarili. So different. Yvo used to pull me a chair. Minsan nga ay binubuhat niya pa ako paupo. Mukhang walang halaga na lahat ng 'yon. Memories, I will just forget it all.

As if I can.

Kumain ako mag-isa. Tiniis ko ang hindi kaaya-kayang lasa ng sarili kong niluto. Okay lang, natiis ko nang hindi kumain ng tatlong araw, ito pa kayang pait na niluto ko? Total, ako naman nagluto nito, ako na rin ang kakain. Kahit niluto ko 'to para sa kaniya.
