Treacherous Heart 1: Ever The Same

Pahina 16

Raw and unfiltered

"Mag-uusap tayo."

"Ayoko nga sabi diba? Ano bang hindi mo maintindihan sa a-yo-ko?" Mataray kong sabi habang naka halukipkip.

Dinala niya ako sa isang sikat na hotel, sa pinaka tuktok nito ay may restaurant na hindi pa nakabukas para sa lahat dahil ni-rerenovate pa raw.

But because I am with 'the' Tobias Lim, pinapasok kami at may pinadalang server at chef para sa amin. Sa kasalukuyang niluluto ang mga ni-order namin, at hindi na ako nag abala pa na mag sabi ng gusto ko dahil sa dami na naman niyang ni-order ay alam kong hindi rin namin mauubos 'yon.

Pasalamat 'to at hindi ako gaanong mapili sa pagkain! Kung hindi talagang lagot siya sa akin!

Ang dulong roof deck pa lang ang nakaayos kaya roon kami pumwesto. The flooring was wooden, ang barandilya sa paligid ay kahoy rin, at maraming halaman sa paligid, it is like a patio with a mini garden which I really liked.

May fairy lights sa paligid, and the lights blended well with the overall atmosphere of the roof deck.

He positioned himself behind me, naka hilig ako sa barandilya at tinitignan ang kabuo-an ng syudad, I watched the city lights from the skyline and the moving cars on the busy streets of the city.

Nag-labo ang paningin ko nang maramdaman siya sa likuran ko, it was like his presence demanded my attention. Na kahit ano pang ganda ng tinitignan ko ay hindi sasapat dahil sa kanya.

"Why did you join the auction?" His voice was low and critical.

I snapped a glare at him.

Tinalikuran ko ang nag gagandahang ilaw ng syudad at hinarap siya.

I inhaled deeply and braced myself for my answer!

"Hindi ka ba talaga nakikinig? Ang sabi ko kanina hindi ako sumali roon. Bakit ka pa mag tatanong kung hindi ka naman pala maniniwala?"

I know I am being rude but... I am just so tired right now! Pagod na pagod ako, at ayaw niya ako pag pahingahin! I've been tormented by my thoughts the past days and I just want to rest right now!

And besides, I have accepted that I like him, can I move on now? Kailan pa ako mag sisimula mag move on? Dapat ba ay may go signal din niya?

"Stop being so difficult!" His lips formed a thin line.

Bahagya akong natigilan at nakaramdam ng kirot sa puso ko.

My chest suddenly felt tight.

I am difficult? Marahil ay totoo iyon pero... damn it! What should I do? Welcome him with open arms? Accept everything? Paluguran ang nararamdaman ko? Bumigay?

Saan ako pupulutin pag ginawa ko iyon?

If I go kind with him, then I will fall even more. If I give in, there will never be any salvation for me, mahuhulog ako at hindi na makakabangon pa.

"What? Why? Anong gagawin mo? If you can't deal with me being difficult, then 'wag! No one's forcing you, Tobias!"

I saw how his eyebrows furrowed deeply. His jaw hardened and he looked more dangerous and critical now! Ang kanyang chinitong mata ay tila nag tutulis pa lalo.

Napalunok ako sa kaunting kaba pero pinilig ko ang ulo ko, I must face this now! I won't chicken out!

The wind blew and my hair followed it.

I saw his expression changed but it was quick. I didn't even get to determine what changed...

"I just want to talk to you. Halos isang linggo tayong hindi nagkita, tapos ay ang lalamig pa ng mga reply mo sa akin, then coming to you was the first thing I thought after arriving here, tapos ang aabutan ko ay ang galit mo? You telling me to leave you alone? That I did what?"
