Crime In Love Line

Chapter 30

"His therapy is greatly working for him. I can see a huge progress."

Liam's doctor told us a lot about his medications and therapy. Habang tinititigan ko si Liam, ay mukhang naiintindihan niya na rin ang sinasabi ni doc.

"I'm so proud of you." It was mamita. She kissed Liam's cheeks.

Pagkatapos noon ay kumain kami sa mamahaling restaurant. Mamita has my respect so I still went with them. Sinusubuan ko si Liam habang kinakausap siya patungkol sa iba't ibang bagay. It was still strange to me that he'll respond with a hum and he'll keep an eye contact with me.

Pagkauwi ng mansion ay parang may liwanag sa buhay ko. I wanted to deny it, but it's here. There's a sudden glimpse of hope. I'm looking forward for something. I wanted to be there for Liam and watch him recover. I want to be with him and help him regain the life he missed lately.

I called kuya Ethan about it and he said that he's even more excited to go home in this country. I added that up to the reasons to stay alive. I want to see the person who killed my mother; suffering in jail.

Isinama ko sa kwarto si Liam at binigyan siya ng stress ball. He's squishing it with his left hands and I'm glad that he's capable of doing that. Tama si doc. Malaki na ang progress niya.

"You saved me." I told him.

"I...l-love y-you..." Mabagal, ngunit buong hirap niyang binigkas. I cried because of that.

"Miss na kita! Stand up ka na diyan at may girl na naghihintay sayo!" I exclaimed, pertaining with the girl who kept messaging me upon Liam's condition.

"D-dece..." She mentioned a girl's name and tears pooled up in his eyes. Kaagad kong pinunasan 'yon.

"Shhh...hahanapin natin siya pag magaling ka na, okay?" I assured him. "Kaya bilisan mo na!"

I spent the whole day cleaning my room. I changed the bedsheets to move on to what happened before in that exact perspective. I also asked for some helpers' help to move the bed on the other side of the room. I wiped off the dusts covering the study table for I wasn't using it earlier.

I took a book from the suitcase I brought when we moved in the mansion. It was old and the pages were almost yellow. I blew off the dust covering the book and turned it to page one. I convinced my self that reading a book for self-development will somehow distract me from my thoughts.

Inabot ako ng gabi kakalinis sa kwarto. Thalia will constantly remind me to just let the helpers clean it but I refused. I like this as an escape. I want to keep moving so I won't lock myself from sadness.

"So proud of you, Aprilynn." I whispered to myself while moving my eyes around the corners of my neat room. Mas mukha na itong masarap tulugan kumpara sa maduming itsura nito dati dahil guestroom nga.

"I...invaded your originally room here at the mansion..." Sumulpot si Thalia sa tabi ko. "Binawi mo nalang sana sa akin 'yon..."

I smiled. Maraming memorya noong kabataan ko ang naka ukit sa kwartong iyon.

"No thanks. I hate that room." I chuckled.

Isinasama ako ng pamilya ni Ronald sa dinner nila ngunit tumanggi ako. I might be cool with the situation here at the mansion, but it will no longer last. I still loathe Sylvia for everything she did with my mother. There was a zero apology from Thalia although she's casually speaking to me. Ronald and Nathan are still the perfect reasons why you'll end up saying that men are trash.

Kumuha ako ng pagkain na kaya kong ubusin sa isang plato at pumunta sa dirty kitchen. I approached the helpers and the drivers eating at the corner.

"Hello po...sabay po ako sainyo."
