Chapter 45.2

Mojo's POV

 

"How were you?"

I looked at her and smile. How I missed her soft voice.

 

"I'm good." Sagot ko

Nangunot ang noo niya sa akin saka lumapit sakin. Tumitig siya sa mata ko. "I know you're not."

Lumapit sakin si Hailey at naupo sa lap ko. She look me straight in the eyes. "Paul? Are you hiding something"? walang kakurap kurap niyang tanong sa akin

I instantly made a fake smile. Lumihis ako ng tingin dahil hindi ko kayang salubungin ang nagtatanong niyang mga mata.

"Hiding about what?"I nonchalantly said

"Ï don't know. You might want to share me some happenings in your life when we broke up."

 

 

"Wala kong gustong sa—"

 

 

"Anong trabaho niyo ni Emerald?"

 

 

Agad-agad akong napatingin sa kanya. And I saw the pain in her eyes. Fuck.

"Bakit laging nasa peligro ang buhay niyo ng pinsan ko?! Anong klaseng trabaho ba yang pinasok niyo?!!! Bakit ayaw niyong sabihin?! Bakit?!!!"sumisigaw habang umiiyak niyang tanong

I made a fist and slightly bit my lower lip. Hindi niya pwedeng malaman kung anong klaseng impyerno ang trabaho namin. Hindi.

"None of your business Hailey. Stop asking—"

 

 

"Fuck it Paul! None of my business?!! It's my right to know everything for Christ sake!!"tumayo siya and start crying

I look away dahil hindi ko kayang tignan na umiiyak siya. I can't afford to see her cry just because of me. I don't deserve her precious tears. Hindi sa tulad kong walang kwentang tao.

"Ask your cousin Hailey. I don't want to be the one who—"

 

 

 

"Fuck how can I ask her if she's half dead and half alive?!!!"
