Trapped By Him

CHAPTER 40

Mary POV

This nightclub is so energetic. Pag pasok pa lang namin nina Charlotte sa loob ay maraming tao ang nag sisigawan habang may malakas na tugtog. Karamihan sa nakikita ko ay nakita ko na sa TV. Yung iba yata sa kanila ay artista sa entertainment industry tapos karamihan mga young business man.

"Welcome to the Nightclub!" Bati ng isang babae na lumapit sa amin

"Oh Kristine, is that you?" Gulat na sabi ni Charlotte at nakipag yakapan sa isa't isa

"Who are they?" Baling na tanong nung babae sabay turo sa amin ni Lucy

"Oh, they are my fianceè's friends and I bring them here to have fun" sagot ni Charlotte at tumango lang yung kasama niyang babae na tinawag niyang Kristine

"Anyway, where's my reserved space?" Tanong ni Charlotte

"This way, I will bring you there immediately" sabi nung Kristine at sabay sabay kaming nag lakad papunta sa isang mahabang sofa na may malaking table sa harapan nito

Agad kami umupo dun at biglang may mga bartender na lumapit sa amin at sinerve ang mga alak at meron din silang pulutan na binigay

"May I take my leave? I'm still busy welcoming our guests" sabi nung babae

"Yes of course, you don't have to worry that much" sagot ni Charlotte at umalis na rin yung babae

Tumingin ako sa bawat paligid at napansin kong karamihan sa mga bisita ay nasa dance floor habang may iilang bisita na nasa kanya kanyang tables.

"Here's a whiskey, do you guys want to try it?" Biglang saad ni Charlotte sabay abot ng shot glass sa amin ni Lucy. Agad namin ito kinuha at ininom.

This is my first time na makakainom ng whiskey kaya hindi pa ako sanay sa lasa nito sa aking bibig.

"Ms. Lucy, I'm just curious, Do you have romantic relationship with Elias?" Tanong nito sabay inom ng panibagong alak na hindi ko alam ang brand.

"Yes" simpleng saad ni Lucy sabay ngiti ng matamis kaya naman napabuntong hininga na lang ako

Hindi ko alam kung pag kakatiwalaan ko si Elias para kay Lucy. The first time we met, he harassed me and I kinda know how he play with women but why it has to be Lucy? Lucy is so kind hearted, even she knows she was being used and fooled by that guy, she still stay with him and acted as if Elias didn't do anything wrong to her which makes me want to slap her to wake up to her delusions.

"I bet you already know his histories on women, right?" Tanong nito sa kaniya at tumango lamang si Lucy

Teka, bakit ba pinapakialaman niya ang relasyon ni Lucy kay Elias?

"I just want to warn you, do you remember that girl who welcomed us here?" Tanong nito at napatango na lang din ako

"Yeah, and what about her?" Tanong naman ni Lucy. Kumuha muna si Charlotte ng alak bago sinagot ang tanong.

"Kristine is Elias childhood friend and at the same time, his ex girlfriend for almost 3 years" sabi nito na nakapanlaki sa aking mata

Ex girlfriend? May babae din pala siyang sineryoso? Akala ko mula teenager siya ay panloloko lang ginagawa niya sa babae

"And so? She's his EX girlfriend and not his current girlfriend" saad nito at talaga namang may diin yung salitang Ex sa kaniyang pag salita

"But recently, Kristine is trying to win his heart and court him until now." Sabi naman nito at halos mabulunan ako sa sarili kong laway
