Chapter 20

Napunta kami sa presinto. Of course, Rome was angry as a bull when he gained consciousness. The police bought Ryker's excuse that it was self defense, ang tanging naku-kwestiyon lang ngayon ay bakit hindi agad sinapak ni Ryker si Rome dahil pinagsalita n'ya pa ito ulit.

Ginagamot ko yung namamagang panga ni Ryker. Ang totoo nga ay halos nadaplisan lang talaga siya. Si Rome ang dumeretso sa hospital dahil halos maging pulbo na talaga. Pareho namang umurong ang mga kaso dahil pinagusap silang dalawa. Ryker didn't want to withdraw but I was the one who told him to let it go. Mas malala ang magiging kaso n'ya dahil halos hindi na makalakad si Rome.

"Huwag mo uulitin iyon," sabi ko sa kan'ya. "Ayoko nakikipagsuntukan ka."

Ngumuso siya. "Hindi mo naman ako mapipigilan manuntok lalo na kung binabastos ka na."

I held his hand and started to kiss his fists. "These hands are not made to hurt anyone, alright? Hindi naman ako na-offend sa sinabi n'ya."

Natahimik si Ryker. Batid pa rin sa mukha na badtrip siya dahil sa mga sinabi ni Rome tungkol sa akin. I wonder. . .does he believe him? At kung naniniwala man siya, does it bother him?

I know that even if I agree that Ryker is indeed hot and attractive, once his morals are not aligned with mine—I would gladly dodge a bullet. I wouldn't want to fix him. Ayoko maging tulad ni Mama na ipipilit ang paniniwala ko sa isang lalaki. Manglalaki na lang ulit siguro ako.

Pero iba si Ryker. . .I just know deep in my heart that even if what Rome said was true—it wouldn't change the fact that he loves me.

Mahal n'ya ako.
