Heartstrings In Dilemma

CHAPTER 23

RAIN'S POV CONTINUE :

After that day, Phayu tried his best to keep his distance from me. The further he went, the more anxious and hurt I felt. The next morning, during lunch, Saifah proposed to Phayu to teach me some basics in shooting, but Phayu immediately refused without even looking at me. Saifah, being Saifah, somehow convinced Phayu to agree.

At the shooting range, jealousy consumed me as Phayu stuck to Dao like glue. My mistake was pointing a gun towards him, nearly causing a mess. However, Phayu quickly cleared the situation, as he always did. We almost shared a moment, but I think he realized something and left me alone in the room again.

Following the incident, Phayu started ignoring me and became cold. One day, when I asked him to take me to my dorm, he refused and said Dao would take me instead. There was a time when he wouldn't allow anyone else to be close to me, but now he didn't want to be close to me himself.

On the first day of my new semester, Saifah dropped me off as Phayu refused to do so. As I was leaving after finishing classes and catching up with friends, Sig was being playful when suddenly someone pushed him, causing him to fall on his back. I was furious, but my anger escalated when I saw who it was.

It was Phayu; at first, he ignored me all this time, but now he's hurting my friends and pushing them. I asked him why he pushed Sig, but he warned me and forcefully pulled me into his car, almost throwing me inside. I became even more angry and tried to confront him, but he shut me down and threatened me, saying if I defended Sig anymore, he would put all the bullets from his gun into his head.

He then asked me if Sig is my friend, how could he touch me like that? At first, I didn't understand, but then I remembered he kissed me on the cheek, and that's when Phayu pushed him.

"Is he jealous?" I thought, giggling, but I didn't show him that I was happy seeing his reaction. I continued to act as if I were angry and asked him who he was to tell me what to do and what not to do. I wanted to see his reaction and understand his feelings, but it backfired on me. He held my jaw tightly, causing me pain and fear. When he released my jaw, he started driving like a maniac.

I was so afraid, wondering if he wanted us to die or what, but he didn't stop and kept increasing the speed until we reached the mansion.

I was so angry at him that I got out of the car, slamming the door shut with a loud thud, and stomped off. I was cursing under my breath when I saw Saifah already standing inside, waiting for me. I wanted to ask him why he sent Phayu instead of coming himself, but before I could say anything, someone pushed me, and I landed on my butt.

That was the last straw for me that day. I wanted to punch that person really hard in the face, and when I turned around, what I saw broke my heart and made me feel things I had never felt before.

I watched as that girl clung to Phayu, unable to contain my anger when Saifah helped me up, and I saw that girl kissing my Phayu.

Wait, "my Phayu"? Since when did he become mine? Whatever. My anger reached its limit when I saw her kissing Phayu without a second thought. I grabbed the glass of water the maid had brought for me and threw it in Phayu's face. How could he allow that girl to kiss him? When Phayu asked me why I did that, I simply replied that I'm allergic to lipstick and for him being arrogant with me.

Saifah tried to calm my anger, but just as it started to subside, that girl spoke up, and I did the same with her, taking the water and splashing it on her face. I gave her the same reason, adding that I also didn't like the color of lipstick she was wearing and for pushing me down.

She got so angry that she almost hit me, but then Saifah and Phayu intervened.

Finally, amidst the chaos of the day, I appreciated one thing: Phayu stood up for me and warned that girl, he was looking like a perfect cold, arrogant, possessive mafia protecting his boyfriend.
