Chapter 24
Savouring
"This fucking hickey is very visible!" I snarled.
Seus didn't even flinched in his seat. He continued chewing his food, however, I can see the playful grin on his sinuous lips. It's very obvious that he's pissing me off again. Nagngitngit ang aking bagang at mahigpit na pinigilan ang sariling batuhin siya ng tinidor.
"I really hate you, motherfucker-"
He gasped. "Tss. We're eating, Ade. Don't cuss yet. You really have a bad mouth."
I rolled my eyes.
"The bad mouth you just devoured a while ago?" I sarcastically said which earned a streak coughing from him.
"Fine. You have a very dainty mouth, Ariadne..." he said with his grin, now growing wide.
Imbis na matuwa sa sinabi niya ay mas lalo pa akong naasar. I don't think I'll win in this conversation. I was always left speechless. Ano pa'ng silbi ng pakikipag-usap ko sa hudyo na ito kung palagi naman akong talo sa huli? Might as well shut my mouth and just eat.
I also can't with this bitch against my chest. Habang patagal nang patagal ay pakiramdam ko sumasakit na ito. I am considering to get it checked. I am really worried about my health. Maybe, it's not because of him all along. Maybe... I really have an illness.
Shut up. You're just consoling yourself with that, Ariadne.
I let out a heavy sigh. Nang bumaling ako sa kaniya ay agad na umangat ang aking kilay. He's staring at me like I'm a beautiful art in a museum.
"Quit it, nakakapikon ka na." umingos ako at bumaling ulit sa aking pagkain.
I heard him scoffed but he didn't say anything. Nagpatuloy na rin sa pagkain.
Nauna akong matapos dahil tila bigla siyang nasaniban ng pagong. He suddenly slackened his eating, the reason why my asphyxiation got deteriorated. Bago ko pa man siya masaksak ng tinidor ay nagdesisyon na akong umalis sa harap niya.
Walang paalam akong tumayo at dumiretso sa bathroom ng restaurant. Even when I'm not looking, I can feel his gaze following me. May pasunod-sunod pa siyang tingin na nalalaman.
Kinikilig ka naman diyan, hangal. My brain, insulted.
Napailing ako sa aking kabaliwan. Damn it. Wala na talaga akong pag-asa.
Walang tao pagpasok ko sa bathroom. Naghugas lang ako ng kamay at bahagyang sinuri ang itsura sa harap ng salamin.
I giggled with my reddened cheeks.
Despite of the heat we've created a while ago, I still looked fresh. Paano ay kaunti lang naman ang make-up na nilagay ko. My hair looked so neat too. It's a right decision to tie it up. I used some hair spray for my bangs not to show up.
I smiled brightly looking at my reflection. Theseus is so lucky to have me as his wife. Iyon nga lang, pinakasalan niya lang ako para iwan sa huli.
My bright smile faded with that thought.
Hindi niya iyon magagawa. I'll leave first. I swear, he'll never see my precious tears coming out from my eyes. Iyon nalang ang iingatan ko dahil ang puso ko ay tuluyan niya nang nasakop.
Tumikhim ako at matamlay na naglakad palabas ng bathroom.
I halted when I saw a familiar man leaning on the wall. Seus older brother, si Kuya Dio.
He's just wearing an oversized black t-shirt and a ripped jeans, along with his white sneakers. However, he still looks majestic with it.
Seus and him are really brothers... Both have that majestic aura.
