MY DECEITFUL LOVER

MDL22

ps. u kinda need tissue.

CHAPTER 22

I gazed at him, inspecting every part of his face. His blue eyes whom I always adored was just a cover, underlying beneath his eye lense was a hazel coloured.

Ibang iba sa mga matang hinulog ako sa gitna ng karagatan.

Ngayon ko lang din napagtanto ang tinta sa balat ng leeg ng binata. It was a crescent moon with the suns encircling half of it as well as the rays. A figure that portrays the eclipsed. Sa parte naman ng collarbone niya ay isang araw na mayroong mag-kasanggang espada. Sa baba nito may mga nakaguhit na nga linya na hindi ko maintindihan.

“Where do you want me to start?” he asked after the long silence passed.

“From the beginning, Shaun. Para maintindihan ko ng mabuti.." I stopped midway, he's waiting for the rest of it, so I continued, “So I can consider if you're worth the second chance or not.”

Kita ko ang paglunok nito. Bahagyang nanlamig ang pagtingin nito sa akin at napayuko.

Is it a clear rejection?

I saw how the veins came out of his arm like he wanted to say something yet stopping himself to not say any single thing about it. He also clenched his two fists that were placed on both sides. I also felt his quick but hot breath on my stomach. I waited for him to speak because I knew he wouldn't waste the opportunity I gave him to explain and defend himself right now.

I know he will do the right thing because that's his nature! Even though he showed me a clear refusal earlier, I can ignore it,!

I hope he will tell me everything with all honesty and accuracy especially I'm lost between the tides. But there are things more important than our relationship, only me and those who bother him are his only choices. I know I sound really immature in this situation but I have the right to know the truth, for how many years or months he has denied it to me.

He's hesitating. He's torn between lying and telling the truth! Until he spoke, starting his confession.

“All of the things you knew about me was fake. The details, my name or even my background.” panimula niya.

Napapikit ako, dahil nagsisimula ng humerentado ang puso ko. Kinakabahan ako sa hindi ko alam na dahilan!

Oh sadyang nagbigay ng ibang damdamin sa aking sistema ang paraan ng pagiging seryoso ng binata?

Madalas siyang mapaglaro, sa bardagulan nila ni Elle at kahit magkasama kami, wala ni-isang beses kong naranasan o kahit man nakita siyang seryoso.

“My family is a part of dangerous organization, we are considered a royalty because we have the same blood to our ancestors. A direct descendants of the man who founded the Malfatto famiglia.”

Then why would he settled being a normal person when he has a background like that?

Sumusuko na ba siya sa kaantasan ng buhay niya na gugustuhin niyang maging isang normal na mamamayan?

And just how dangerous is it? How much he hated being part of it for me to notice the anger in his voice.

“I came from a wealthy family, that even your relatives are considered as an enemy. Each one of us needs to shed blood to survive. Cause the moment you showed your weakness, they will eliminate you. It's prohibited for us to expose ourselves or even our personal information that's why I'm having a fake one. Pretending to be a person who exist but in reality, we're just portraying a person who's not even in this world.”

Bigla akong nanigas sa kinatatayuan. May alam na sa gustong iparating nito. Hinuli ko ang tingin niya at marahang umiling.

Ngunit nabigo ako.
