Hate Me Until You Can't [PSLU #4] [GL]

HM28

Sylvia's POV

"Krystal despised promises the most right? I remember Daniella mentioning it to us once when she got drunk." Elise said while playing with my fingers.

I nodded. "She even considered love as one of the dangerous feeling that a human could ever contact with." Daming hinahing nung pinsan ko na yun sa mundo, halatang manunulat.

"Have you talk to your cousin?" She curiously asked.

"Just few days ago, why?" Mukang alam ko na saan patungo tong usapan na to ah.

"Daniella is going back at the University." She sighed. "She might become the next president of the LU, it seems like her tita is considering to step down na, while Zianna is too young to handle it naman."

Kaya pala parang balisa si kumag nung nakaraan at hindi mapakali, she keeps on complaining about something kasi nung makalabas ito ng president office ay hindi na mapinta ang mukha niya. Baka their tita talked to her to consider the offer. I guess, we'll meet soon, huh?

"I want to meet her too." Talking about Miss Daniella.

"Bakit?" Tumaas ang kilay ni Elise.

"Krystal never introduced her to us, tanging si Ate Danny lang ang nakilala ko."

"Well, I can't blame her. Everything about their relationship is a mess up to begin with." Sambit niya at bumuntong hininga.

I remember Portia told me before that Elise receive a hard blow slap from my cousin, sakit siguro. Parang metal pa naman yung kamay nun dahil nag vo-volleyball. Manulak pa nga lang habang natawa masakit na eh.

"Our start was a mess too..." I mumbled.

"But it was different, unless you're hiding something from me." Seryosong saad niya na naging dahilan para balutin kami ng katahimikan.

After a minute, I spoke. "How about you, Elise? Are you hiding something from me?"

The sudden conversation that I had with the Acozta occured to me, and how much my sister is willing to beg on her knees for the sake of us being complete. Is this even the perfect timing for me to ask her?

No Sylvia, there's no such thing as perfect timing when it comes to secrets. All you know is that, the longer that both of you keep holding on to it, the more it hurts.

I mean, I'm keeping something from her too. So, I guess we both have hidden chambers, but how much could we hide it further Elise?

"Not that I know of..." I heard her say. "If ever I did, would you believe me that it was for your sake?" She scoffed.

"Like what? You're a heroine who believes that justice should be done differently like Meurtrier?" I tried to ease the tension, but it seems like I made it worst when her smile faded.

Her facial expression became serious. "Hindi ba minsan nang naging pabaya ang justice system ng mundo? They are not interested in truth, Sylvia. They are only focused on the angle of the story which will make more sense."

"So, you do agree with Meurtier?" My firm voice came out. I don't like where this is going.

"I'm not agree in his/her way of doing it, but if she/he will done it in front of me just to save me or the people around me, panigurado papanuorin ko lang siya at hindi ako magsasalita. I'll pretend that I didn't say anything."

"You sound like you already did it." I shrugged, letting out a bitter chuckle.

"And I also forgot that you're Agatha's kid. You have the same belief with her so probably hindi mo ko maiintindihan, she save you from misery, didn't she? Plus, you have it all. You're an Acozta, you get what you want." Elise eyed on me. I clenched my fist as I remember that day.
