My Island (The Strict CEO) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 55

"ARE you sure about this, Anna?" tanong ni Krystal na masinsin siyang pinagmamasdan.

Tahimik na ngumiti nang maliit ang dalaga habang pinagmamasdan ang madilim na kalangitan.

"It's the best thing to do, Tallie."

Hindi umimik si Krystal.

Humugot nang malalim na paghinga si Anna bago muling nagsalita. "If I were to pick a fight with him, I would not be able to know what he might do to achieve what he wanted. Both of us understand that it isn't just the house he wants, but he also wants to ruin my life in a way that makes me miserable. The only thing he wants to do is take revenge on me ," pagbibigay punto ni Anna.

Nang marinig ni Krystal ang konklusyon ng kaibigan ay hindi nito nagawang pigilan ang sarili na magalit.

"Fuck him! Ano bang ginawa mong kasalanan para maghiganti siya sayo? Maghiganti? For real?" Puno ng pagkadismayang wika ni Krystal. "Why? Does he felt betray dahil sa nabuntis ka ng ibang lalaki? Hindi ba siya nahihiya sa sarili niya na siya itong unang nagloko? Matagal ka na niyang niloloko! Ang masaklap sa pinsan ko pa na hindi ko inaasahan na gagawa ng ganoong bagay!" gigil na dagdag nito.

Ibinaling ni Anna ang tingin kay Krystal na kitang-kita sa mukha nito ang labis na pagkadismaya sa mga nangyayari.

Hinawakan niya ang kamay nito. "Tallie, it's not who did or the person they choose to replace their partners is. Choosing to cheat or betray someone close to you is a choice that you made by yourself. It's not about if he got seduce or she seduced him, they both saw or felt something to each other that they never felt towards their partners and end up betraying the people who trusted them so much."

"Felt something to each other? And ano? Libog? Come on, Anna! We both know na ginawa nila 'yon out of libog so put it in a good word na hindi libog kaya nila nagawang saktan at lokohin—"

"Tallie, I know it frustrates you even so I, but if we keep getting affected of something that already happened that can't never be undone, tayo lang ang mahihirapan while sila doesn't get bother of what they have done?"

"But—"

"Tallie, there are some things that bound to end even we don't want too. So it's better not to get stuck there and slowly move forward and accept it. It will takes time but sooner or later everything will be fine," saad ni Anna na binigyan nang maliit na ngiti ang kaibigan.

"Anna..." mahinang sambit ni Krystal sa pangalan ng dalaga.

Muli, ngumiti si Anna saka ibinaling ang kanyang tingin sa madilim na kalangitan.

"I'm being hypocrite if sasabihin kong hindi ko gustong makuha ang bahay na halos ako ang nagpundar, but on the other hand, mabuti na rin na ibigay ko iyon kay Bien," mahinahong saad nito. "It's not because I want him to win, but because that house is filled with memories that we were able to share together over the years, and kung titira ako sa bahay na iyon mas lalo ko lang maaalala ang lahat ng iyon. Mga masasayang alaala at rason kung bakit ko minahal si Bien...at ang masasakit na alaala. Ang kataksilan na ginawa niya...nila ni Haya." Humarap si Anna kay Krystal. "Hindi ba't mas masakit at napaka-martyr ko kung titira pa ako sa bahay na iyon?"

Hindi nakaimik si Krystal sa kanyang narinig. Nakakaramdam siya ng guilt lalo na isa sa rason kung bakit nasasaktan ang kanyang kaibigan ay dahil sa kanyang pinsan.

"There have been a lot of times that I have lost things precious to me, but even so, I still felt the pain each and every time I lost something I held dear to me...pathetic every time," wika ni Anna na hindi maiwasang mabasag ang kanyang tinig at kumawala ang luha sa kanyang mga mata na pilit niyang pinipigilan kanina pa. "Ang sakit, Tallie. Sobrang sakit." Dagdag nito na tuluyan nang napahagulgol.
