PLEASURABLE RESTRICTIONS ✔️

Chapter Forty Six

 "CHASTITY..." I whispered as I stare at the woman in front of me. Wala pa din pagbabago ang hitsura niya kahit ilang taon na ang nakalipas mula nang huli kaming magkita. She looked sophisticated and fierce in her red sleeveless dress and black stilettos.

Then her red lips curved into a smile. "Long time no see, Adina." She greeted me and looked at me from head to toe. "You looked different but still, weak."

Tumaas ang kilay ko at tinignan din siya mula ulo hanggang paa. "Yeah, long time, Chastity. Wala ka pa din pinagbago. You still looked like a bitch."

Tumalim ang tingin nito na kinangisi ko. "Well, I'm not here to have a fight, Adina. I want to talk to you."

"Wala tayong dapat pagusapan." Sagot ko at akmang tatalikod na nang muli niya akong pigilan sa braso na kinatingin ko doon. I pulled my arm from her grip and arched a brow. "Don't touch me, Chastity. Ayokong malagyan ng germs ang balat ko."

"Iyan ba ang natutunan mo sa tatlong taong pagtakbo mo mula sa katotohanan na ako talaga ang mahal ni Miguel at hindi ikaw?" sagot niya at ngumiti sa'kin. "If you'll just know why he really chose to stay beside me and fuck me than coo your crying ass, I bet you'll run back to your brother and ask for his help again. Well, since you didn't want to talk, here's my card and call me if you're ready."

"What do you mean?" sagot ko na kinangisi niya.

"I know Miguel so well, darling and I know what words he told you to get you back beside him. I know how his sweet tongue can invade someone's heart in an instant and see you with him earlier?" she paused and shook her head as if what she had in her mind was right. "You're so ignorant and pathetic."

"I don't like playing games with you, Chastity. Kung sinisiraan mo si Sandro sa'kin ay hindi na 'yan gagana. If you'll seduce him to be with you again, then I'll make sure that this time, it's not me who's going to cry." I answered and gave a cold smile. "It's you."

"Huwag kang feeling strong kung puro kasinungalingan lang naman ang sinabi ni Miguel sa'yo, Adina. Even if you asked him right now about what really happened in the past, I bet he'll just tell you that I manipulated him to stay beside me. But that's not true. He stayed of his own accord and I have nothing to do with it." Chastity stepped closer, making me step back. "Wanna know why? Because Miguel loves me."

Malakas na tinulak ko naman si Chastity kaya napaatras siya. "Leave." I said sternly making her grin at me. Hindi ko na kinailangan pang ulitin 'yun dahil agad siyang tumalikod at lumakad palayo.

I could feel my heart beating fast with the words she told me. A sudden doubt filled my heart as I remember what Sandro told me when we met again. Ang mga rason niya kung bakit niya nagawa 'yun at ang rason kung bakit hindi niya masabi sa'kin ang totoo. Now that I remember, Sandro never told me the reason why he didn't tell me why he stayed beside Chastity. Ang tanging sinabi niya lang sa'kin ay minanipula siya nito hanggang sa punto na may nangyayari na sa kanila.

But why do I feel like there's more to it?

Why does it feels like Sandro missed a part of what really happened?

Napatingin ako sa pinaglabasan ni Chastity. Pa'no kung totoo ngang nagsisinungaling si Sandro sa'kin hanggang ngayon? Pa'no kung meron pa palang higit na rason kung bakit niya 'yun nagawa sa'kin? Ayaw ko nang mag-isip pero dahil sa mga sinabi ni Chastity ay tila nanumbalik sa isipan ko ang lahat ng nangyari tatlong taon na ang nakakalipas.

That night, parang hindi pa din ako mapakali. Mula nang bumalik ako sa trabaho kanina ay sumama na ang pakiramdam ko. Hindi ako gaanong makapag-concentrate sa trabaho pero hindi ko 'yun pinahalata kay Mrs. Aragon dahil ayaw kong magalala siya sa'kin.
