Clio Stormhell ( Completed ) ( BL )

Chapter 38

Clio

Finally, I'm here at the jewelry store to buy a ring for my boyfriend. Everything here looks beautiful, ano bang magandang piliin dito? Mukhang mamahalin talaga lahat, this is my first time choosing a ring so I'm a bit hesitant to choose. Baka hindi magustuhan ni Zilas ang mapipili ko, I should choose the most beautiful one among all the rings.

" Maybe you want this sir, bago po ito sa amin. " The saleslady showed me a silver ring with a diamond on top, it was a couple ring with a heart in the middle. Each ring has a piece of heart and if pinagsama it'll complete the heart. Maganda 'to. It was simple and doesn't stand out yet it's beautiful on its own.

" Magkano po? " Tanong ko, my budget is around 20 thousand and I'm hoping it'll be enough. It's my own hard earned money, ayaw kung gamitin ang binibigay ni Zilas sa akin to buy him a ring, I want it to be my own money. I hope this will make him love me more.

" Ooh, buying a ring now are we? " May narinig akong nagsalita sa tabi ko, I looked at the person who spoke and saw manager Viviane. She was smiling at me, like a proud mother to her child.

" Manager Viviane, how are you? " Nakangiti kung tanong, I went in for a quick hug.

" Ito, ayos naman. " She answered, her lips are always with a smile. Bumalik ang tingin ko sa singsing. I think she was waiting for us to stop talking.

" 15 thousand pesos for this pair, sir. " Sabi niya sa presyo. Ang mahal pero pasok naman sa budget kaya ayos lang, I asked the saleslady for a certain ring size and asked her if they had one. Habang naghahanap siya sinuot ko ang singsing para e sukat. It was a great fit, perfect for my finger.

" Who's the lucky girl? " Manager ask while she was looking at my ring, hindi ko nga pala nasabi sa kaniya ang tungkol kay Zilas.

" It isn't a girl, pero still bibilhan ko siya nito. Ikaw, manager? Bakit ka andito? " Tanong ko, I took the ring off my finger and put it back in its box.

" Bibili akong necklace. I have set my eyes on it for some time now kaya I'm here to finally purchase it. " Sagot niya habang nakatitig sa isang necklace na sout ng mannequin. It was beautiful indeed, mukhang mahal rin.

" Here's your preferred size sir, " the saleslady came back with the size I wanted the other ring to be.

It was a quick process, I also bought something for Calliope. It was a silver chain bracelet with the initial letter of her name on it. Manager and I also went for a talk, a quick talk. After that, umuwi na ako. I'm planning to surprise Zilas kaya umuwi ako ng maaga.

" GET OUT!!! GET OUT!!! " Rinig kung sigaw ni Zilas sa loob sumunod agad ang mga kalampag, my heart raced in fear that someone must have invaded our house and threatened Zilas. Wala kaming maids at bodyguards, I was uncomfortable with it so Zilas decided to transfer them to his dad's place until masanay kami. I'm regretting it now, I should've kept them.

I slammed the door open at tumakbo papunta sa lugar kung saan ko narinig si Zilas, and there he is. Crying and catching his breath with a knife pointed at his neck, he was pointing a knife at himself. Alther was there, and Zilas' brothers were there as well.

" GET OUT!!! MY LIFE HAS NO PURPOSE ANYMORE!! " He screamed with tears pouring down his eyes.

" Zilas?! " I called him out, agad kung nakuha ang atensyon nila.

" What the fuck happened?! " Bungad ni Zern.

" I- I don't know. I just got home. " Sagot ko. Hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit siya nagkaganito, he was okay nong umaga.

" Clio...... Please..... Please.... Don't leave me, please... I'll do everything... Please... " Napabaling ang atensyon namin kay Zilas, the knife was on the floor and Zilas was kneeling in front of me. He kept on crying and sobbing, agony and hopelessness is in his eyes. Ano bang nangyayari?

" Zi, what are you doing stand up!" Alther grabbed Zilas by his arm and tried to pull him up, he was on his knees as well assisting Zilas.

Why is Alther here? The last time I saw him was at the previous family dinner, Zilas grandfather personally invited him. It turns out Alther's family is close with the Romaclov, hence the warm treatment.

" Zilas, you'll hurt your knees. " Zern also tried to pull Zilas back to his feet, but nagmatigas ang lalaki. He shook them off.

" Clio, please.. don't leave me.. " He kept on begging.

" What are you talking about? " Lumuhod ako para pantayan siya, nong makalapit ako sa kaniya I smell a strong scent of alcohol coming from him. No wonder he's talking nonsense, this guy is drunk.

Zilas wrapped his hand around me and pulled me for a hug, his face is buried on my chest while he's still sobbing.

" You can let go of him now, ako na ang mag hahandle sa kaniya. Lasing lang 'to. " I explained and gently pushed Alther's hand off Zilas, ayaw kung makitang hinahawakan niya si Zilas. For some reason it makes me feel uneasy whenever I see him touching even a strand of hair from Zilas, I want to ask Zilas to shut up and not answer him whenever they're talking, my instincts tell me that Alther will do no good to me.

" Zilas is not this whiney when drunk, he's usually calm and composed. Don't blame the liquor, you're the one who made him act like this. What the fuck did you do?! " Randam ko ang panggigigil sa kaniyang boses.

" Clio.... " Zilas sobbed again.

" Anong ginawa ko? I did nothing wrong." Sagot ko, I'm telling the truth. Wala akong ginawa para magkaganito ang lalaking 'to.

" I'm sure we can resolve this through talking, " Zaven spoke to calm us down.

" You did nothing WRONG? " Alther repeat what I said with intuition on the word 'wrong', parang ginagawa niya akong sinungaling. Ano bang problema nito?

" Zilas went to my condo and drank every bottle of liquor I had just because you did NOTHING WRONG? Do you think we're that stupid, Clio? " His words ignite my anger.

" WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?! " I couldn't help but shout at him, this guy is pushing my buttons. If Zern and Zaven aren't here baka nasuntok ko na 'to.

" Clio, that's enough. " Pag pigil ni Zern sa akin.

" We want nothing but the truth, Clio. " Said Zaven. So even he thinks I did something? Seriously. I was hoping this could be a normal evening for my family, I was hoping to give this ring to Zilas.
