DEVIL'S WRATH 5: Welius Morgan (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 26

Nakatulala lang ako sa isang sulok habang nakahawak sa dibdib ko. Sinusubukan kong pigilan ang sakit na sumasabay sa pagtibok ng puso ko. Hindi ko na kaya ang sakit na 'to, parang mababaliw na ako.

Welius said, sa kaniya lang daw ako magtiwala dahil siya lang ang kakampi ko. Nasaan siya ngayon? Anong ginawa niya sa'kin? Siya yung una-unang nagsira ng tiwala ko sa kaniya, siya ang una-unang nanakit ng sobra-sobra sa'kin.

Alam kong nasa sofa lang nakaupo si Fritz, kung hindi man siya ay si kuya Derick kahit hindi ko sila kinakausap. Naabutan nila ako nasa gilid ng bintana at akala nila tatalon ako mula rito sa third floor.

Sobrang sakit ng mga narasan ko ngayon, sabay-sabay na tumurok sa puso ko ang sakit na hindi ko inakalang dadating sa buhay ko. But no, I won't take my own life because everyone hurts me, I maybe look weak right now, sobrang hinang-hina na...pero wala akong magawa kundi labanan ang lahat ng sakit at lungkot na nararamdaman ko kahit gusto ko nang mabaliw.

"Zanzea, please kumain kana..."
I heard kuya Derick but I didn't mind him. Ilang beses na nila akong kinukulit pero wala akong gana.

"Gusto kong magpahinga muna, lumabas na kayo hindi ako magpapakamatay."

"Yan ang huwag na huwag mong gawin Zea, hindi ka namin iiwan ni kuya. Aalis tayo mamayang gabi, dadalhin ka namin sa  Macau, magpakatatag ka...we caused you so much pain, but you have to be strong Zanzea, handa ka naming tulungang makabangon ulit."

I smiled at what he said and nodded, looking at the two of them intently.

"Such nice words, Fritz. It's nice to hear if only you didn't betray me. How can I trust you? All of you are traitors, I'm not that foolish to trust you. You don't have to take me anywhere else, if they really want to find and kill me then let them, I'm not afraid to die."

"Don't say that, Zanzea. Fritz and I did everything even if it means ruining our families' plans. We went against Dad, uncle, and Lius just to protect you. Stop pushing us away, Fritz and I are willing to die for you," Kuya Derick said, making me chuckle.

"No matter how many times you say that, you won't gain my trust. Let me rest, when I'm strong enough, I will leave on my own. You're not obligated to protect me."

"No matter what you say, you can't stop us from protecting you."

I followed them with my eyes as they left the room. As the door closed, I looked up and chuckled. My laughter grew louder until it turned into sobs. I hugged myself and ran my fingers through my hair.

"I-It's okay... you can do it... everything will end eventually... I'm here for you, I won't leave you."

I said to myself, wiping away my tears and fixing my hair. I realized that I don't own anything in this world, I have no choice but to let go of everything. I have to let it go, let it leave, let it happen... nothing in this world was promised or belonged to me anyway, all I own is myself.

Nagising ako at sobrang sakit ng ulo ko parang mabibiyak, I held my head and groaned. I felt hungry and looked at the food on the tray, it seemed freshly cooked. I slowly got up and didn't hesitate to eat.

After eating, I leaned against the side while drinking water.

"Finally, you've eaten. Take some rest, we're leaving soon."

I furrowed my brows and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already six in the evening.

"I don't want to leave, I don't want to go with you."

"Zanzea, don't be stubborn, we have to go. Whether you like it or not, we're taking you to another country, Fritz, ayusin mo na lahat ng kailangan natin, naghihintay na sina Dale at Chris sa labas."
