Chapter 16

Chapter 16

He's mad, I can feel that but I'm not sure if it's directed towards me or the situation. Alam ko namang nakakagalit ang mga nangyayari, pero dumagdag pa siya sa mga iniisip ko. I don't know why I have this sudden feeling of uneasiness because he's angry and he won't talk to me properly.

I sighed. Sinundan ko siya ng tingin hanggang sa pagpasok niya sa loob ng bahay. Just exactly when he disappeared from my sight, I heard the arrival of cars behind us.

Sabay kaming napalingon ni Nozé sa isang pamilyar na sasakyan at sa isang van na bagong dating. Mula sa kotse ay bumaba ang pinsan ko habang anim na bodyguards naman ang nanggaling sa van.

Seryoso si Kuya Hash nang lumapit sa akin. I can almost feel the same rage I felt with Levi earlier. I don't know what I've gotten myself into, I just know that this is a big mess. At hindi ko alam kung bakit dinadamay ko si Levi sa gulong ito.

"Your brother is worried, Asha. You should go home," my cousin said when he stood infront of me.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. I don't think I can go home in this situation. Bukod sa masama ang loob ko, ayaw kong magmukmok ako sa bahay at mag-self pity.

"If you don't want to go home then we'll assign bodyguards here."

Sumulyap ako sa anim na naglalakihang tao sa kaniyang likuran. I know I can't question this anymore, it's probably a command from my brother. I'm just worried that I'm dragging the Fujiwaras in my problem, dahil wala naman dapat silang kinalaman dito. I don't want them to be in danger for being involved, lalo na si Nozé.

"You can't stay somewhere else. If you don't want to go home then your choice is our house or this house."

Nagkatinginan kami. I feel like he can read what's on my mind, as well as my problem.

I sighed. "I don't want to drag Levi and Nozé to my problem."

"Levi is already a part of this. He won't let you stay somewhere else."

I swallowed hard.

Bakit?

Gusto ko iyong itanong pero hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ko magawa.

"You don't have to worry about Nozé, her brother won't let anyone harm her."

Nilingon ko si Nozé nang lumapit ito sa akin at kumapit sa braso ko. She looked at me and nodded. "It's better if you stay here. Nandito ako at si Kuya."

I sighed. "Nozé—"

"Kung doon ka sa bahay nila Kuya Hash, wala kang kasama. For sure dito ka rin naman pupunta kaya dito ka nalang. We'll all feel relieved if you're here with us."

I stared at her. I really don't like that idea but I know that what she said is true. I'll feel better if I'm with her too. I don't want to be alone and think about everything over and over again. So in the end, I nodded calmly.

"I'll buy you clothes and have them delivered. Stay here for the mean time and don't try to leave. Answer calls from your brother so he'll calm down. Levi and I are trying our best to protect you so he won't have to come here. Please, Asha, don't try anything funny."

I looked at him tiredly and nodded. I don't even have the energy for anything. I feel so drained, probably because I was so exhausted since last night and everything is just so shocking. Hindi pa nag-sisink in ang lahat sa akin.

Nagtagal ang titig niya sa akin bago kami sabay na napalingon nang makabalik na si Levi. He changed his shirt but he still looks angry. I tried so hard to catch his eyes but he didn't even glance at me. Diretso kay Kuya Hash ang mga mata niya.
