Dangerous Muse (ASHLEY 10) ☑

Chapter 29

|Chapter|29|12th|

I took a deep breath and composed myself before I finally opened the door, naabutan kong umiiyak si Hani, nakatalikod ito sa akin.

Jeremiah immediately noticed my presence, nanlaki ang mga mata nito at nagmamadaling lumapit sa akin, but before he could even get near me, Hani desperately hugged him.

"Ako nalang, Jer!" She scandalously stated, "I have committed no crimes. I am clean and-"

Hindi niya natapos ang sasabihin dahil bigla siyang tinulak ni Jeremiah, sanhi upang marahas na mapa-upo siya sa sahig. Halatang nagulat ang babae, hindi niya ata inaasahan na kayang gawin iyon ni Jeremiah. Nanatili lamang ako sa aking kinatatayuan, nanonood sa kanila.

Jeremiah coldy glared at the woman, "I nicely asked you to leave earlier, Hanaliza." He sighed, "Even though it's your fault, I am still sorry for pushing you."

Mas lalong humagulhol si Hani, "but-"

"Stop being desperate," putol ko sa pagda-drama niya.

Kunot noo niya akong nilingon, but when she recognized that it's me, her eyes immediately sharpened. Tinapunan ko saglit ng tingin si Jeremiah na nasa likuran niya, he looks so worried. And I know why.

"Simula noon hanggang ngayon, m-mang-aagaw ka parin! Inggitera!" She furiously stated, dama ko ang gigil niya habang nanalilinsik ang kaniyang mga matang nakatingin sa akin.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at tila nandidiring pinasadahan siya ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa. Ngumiwi ako at kunwariy nanginig ng kunti, while still, eyeing her with a flowing disgust on my expression.

"What's there to envy about you, Hani? What's there to steal?" I stretched my lips for a sweet smile, "it's more like otherwise."

Mapanuya ko siyang tiningnan habang naglalakad ako palapit sa tabi ni Jeremiah, akmang magsasalita pa ang lalaki pero pinanlakihan ko siya ng mga mata. He immediately shut his mouth and let me do what I want.

Malambing kong hinahawakan ang kanang pisnge ni Jeremiah, we instantly locked our gaze, kitang-kita ko ang pangamba sa kaniya. I caressed his cheek lovingly, assuring him that I'm not mad at him. Nawala ang kunot sa kaniyang mukha.

"You don't have anything that I don't," I ran my other hand on his nape and pulled him closer to my face, "while I have everything that you can't ever have."

Ilang mura pa ang narinig ko mula sa higad, saka ko narinig ang pagdadabog nito at ang mga mabibigat na hakbang palayo. She even threatened me, but who cares about it? Does she think that she's capable of making me tremble in fear? That ambitious frog.

Kahit wala na si Hani ay nanatili kami sa ganoong posisyon. Jeremiah even moved closer to press his forehead on mine. Napapikit ako sabay hinga nang malalim.

Peace, he's giving it back to me, because I almost lose it a while ago.

I admit it, I was scared. Alam naman na ni Jeremiah kung gaano ako kasamang tao. Pero sa tuwing may nagpapaalala sa kaniya, hindi ko maiwasang matakot.

Matakot na baka iyon lang ang kailangan niya para matauhan siya. I trust his love, but sometimes, it's difficult to just do it. Because, love? No matter how strong it is, no matter how long it have been, there's still a huge possibilities that it'll be vague that it'll vanish eventually.

That's what makes love risky, it's changing every minute. 

"I'm sorry," he gently held both sides of my waist, "I didn't gave her my address, I really didn't. This is the first time that she-"
