MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I was at home, drinking and drowning myself in sadness as I remember what happened earlier.

I was brutàlly assàulted by a random guy and I sued him. Gusto ko siyang ipakulong at mabulok sa kulongan.

Tinawagan ko ang lawyer ng pamilya namin. My father said we could trust him. Sabi nila maayos daw magtrabaho si Faze Lopez but he lost my case.

I was so devastated and distraught. I couldn't sleep. I trusted him. He didn't even apologize.

I was busy drinking when my phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from my lawyer. He such an audàcious man to still send me a message after what he'd done.

I expected it to be some crappy apology, but it was complete opposite. He sent me a thirteen second video. I was confuse so I clicked on it, wondering what it could be.

Sa video makikitang nakangiti siya at ang mukha niya ay may bahid ng dugo.

"Smile for the camera," Faze said. My eyes widened when he raised the decàpitated head of my abusèr and posed next to it. I was still in a state of shocked when he sent me a text.

"I'm sorry I couldn't win your case. I'm a failure, but I hope this video cheers you up," I loudly read his message.

I still couldn't buffer what did I seen on that video. My mind is on chaos. My chest doesn't know what to feel.

Should I feel sickeningly happy knowing that the man who s*xually assaülted me were already dêad?

Or should I feel awfully bad for losing his life from anyone but me-

It would be satisfying if I was the one to took his life.

I dialed Faze number. With a one big gulp, I throw the empty bottle of champagne in just a snap.

Faze answered immediately, like he's been waiting for it for all of his life.

His voice were shaking and I could feel the hesitation amd carefulness on his voice as he speak to me.

"I'm so sorry, zoi mou..

i'm such a failure. Please punish me. I will accept everything that you wanted to do to me.

J-Just don't stay away from me. D-Don't leave me.. please."

I couldn't speak right away nor I can't cut his words off. Especially that his voice sounds stammering and choking. It seems like his trying so hard to hold back all the tears he's been keeping in.

"Where are you?" Those are the words that came out of my mouth. Kasalungat sa mga salitang gusto kong bitawan. I wanted to hurt him through words, because that's just how I could repay the pain he'd cause me for losing my case.

But how?

How can I hurt this man's feelings? He didn't meant to lose it. I know. They're just too powerful to the point that they could pay the judge just for them to win against me. And Faze, I know he fought so hard just to win my case, to give me the justice that I deserve.

It is also painful for him, knowing he did everything to win. Yet he lose, just because they have a lot of things to offer compare to what we could.

"O-Outside.."

I briskly got up from my sit and strides to the door. As I step outside- I immediately found him standing in front of the gate. Looking at my house with dejection visible on his eyes.

Those orbs instantly fixed at me the moment he noticed my presence approaching.

I open the gate and stood face to face with him. I need to look up a bit because of his height. But his sudden move caught me off guard- he attack me with a tight hug. His arms snakes onto my waist and his face buried onto the crook of my neck.

"I'm so sorry, zoi mou. Please forgive me. Sorry, so sorry. Don't leave me. D-Don't do it please." My shirt starting to get wet when he begun to shed tears.

"I am not mad at you, Faze. Tahan na. I should be the one crying and you comforting me. Not the other way," I slightly teased.

"No! I can't, zoi mou. I feel so awfully disappointed for losing it. I did everything. EVERYTHING. I failed. I break my promise. I am so sorry."

I took a long sigh. Wrapped my arms around him too and let him cry it all out. I also carresed his head to calm him down.

I lift his head to face me after awhile. I wipe those tears from his face and give him a short smile.

"You're forgiven. But I just wanna ask you one more thing and I am already fine, my love."

Unti-unting gumuhit and mala demonyong ngiti sa labi ko nang maalala ang naisip ko kanina habang pinapanood ang video'ng sinend ni Faze.

"W-What *huk* is it?"

"My love is so cute.." I pinched his cheek and wrapped my arms on his neck. I tiptoed and planted a kiss on his lips.

"Wrapped that assh*les head in a box and wrapped it beautifully. Let's give his family an unforgettable gift they could ever recieve on there entire lives, since Christmas is about to come in just a few hours. Shall we?"

Faze gape at me for a second before a devilish smile plastered on his lips.

"Gladly, zoi mou. Should I add a card on it too?"

I bit my lips and jump to wrapped my legs on his waist- he immediately catch me to hold my weight. He started walking inside the house.

"Yes please, love. That would be perfect."

"As you wish, zoi mou."

"Thank you my love. Merry Christmas in advance. A merry merry Christmas.."

"Indeed. You might not get the justice you deserve. They will suffer the consequences of it when the clock strikes at 12. Indeed a Merry Christmas."
