Academia Soul (CTR series #3)

chapter 50

"Tama na 'yan, Cal!"

I didn't listen to Arabella and just continue drinking the bottle of alcohol I'm holding. She tried to take it away from me, but I just raised it so she will not reach it.

I was hurt. I'm so fucking hurt.

I escaped. I escaped in that fucking hospital.

What's the sense of them nursing me if the only reason why I want to heal my wound leaved?

"Calliope! Tama na sabi. Nakakarami ka na."

"Your son will wake up, Arabella. Lower down your voice." I calmly responded to her.

She kept getting the bottle, but I'm taller than her so she can reached it once I raised it in the air.

"Namumula ka na! Baka nakakalimutan mo, may sakit ka pa."

I gently closed my eyes, and bitterly laughed.

"Jusko, 'wag mo namang baliwin ang sarili mo." Arabella said, sounded so worried.

"S-she left... She l-left..." I weakly said and started to shed tears.

"Things are happening for a reason, Cal. Malay mo may ibang plano ang tadhana para sainyo? Ikaw na mismo nagsabi na sinabi niyang kailangan niyo munang mag grow. Babalik 'yun, just trust the God. Trust Him."

I kept my eyes closed while letting my self to cry.

That face. Her smile, her lovely eyes, her precious smile, her... her stunning face. When will I able to admire those, again?

"Tita? Mami?"

I immediately wiped my tears when I heard that voice. I tried to avoid my face on him but it's too late.

I burst in tears when Arlo hugged me. Without saying any words, I hugged him back. I cried and cried while he's on my top, gently hugging me.

"Why are you crying po, Tita?" He asked.

I didn't answer. Her mother answered for me.

"Tita is just tired, anak. She just need some rest."

Arabella successfully get the bottle of alcohol I was holding earlier. I totally lost my sanity.

"Dito po ako, Tita. Okay lang po 'yan."

I tightly hugged Arlo like a teddy bear, he didn't complain or throw tantrum because of it– Instead, he let me.

He buried his face more on my neck.

Just like what she usually do.

"Ililigpit ko na 'to. Pumasok na kayo mamaya ah." Arabella said.

I'm in Arabella's house. I came here when I successfully escaped in that hospital 2 am early in the morning. She was shocked to see me, and I told her what just happened yesterday.

I couldn't take it anymore.

----------------

I bitterly laughed when I found my self secretly following her. Anywhere she go, I'm all behind her.

She didn't leave HU, but she quitted being a varsity player of the school. She focus in her studies.

And here I am... Secretly supporting her.

Other people might think I'm an obsessed stalker– That's how I also described my self.

Pathetic, right?

I once told my self when I found her again, I will never let her go... But look what I'm doing? I still keep pushing my self to her privately.

"Insane, Calliope." I told my self before deciding to walk away where I was hiding.
