CHAPTER 33
VALENTINA IMARA MEADOWS
"What's going on here, Hexia!?"
Hindi ko pinansin si Atlas at akmang hahabulin sana ang gagong Helios na 'yon nang mahawakan niya ang braso ko para hatakin pabalik sa loob ng fitting room. I tried to struggle, at kung ano ano na ang lumalabas sa bibig ko ng maalala na tanging underwear nga lang pala ang suot ko!
Fuck it!
"Young lady, I think it would be better if you got dressed first," Atlas said seriously, habang nakahawak pa rin sa braso ko.
I was still fuming because of what happened. Ang duwag na 'yon?! How dare he just leave when we weren't done fighting! Iritableng padaskol kong tinanggal ang kamay ni Atlas sa braso ko at basta na lang kinuha ang dress ko sa sahig at sinuot 'yon.
Eh, ano pa nga ba ang kailangan kong takpan!? Halata naman na nakita na ni Atlas na naka bra at panty ako! Damn it! I can really feel my blood boilding with anger towards Helios. Bakit ba siya tumakbo? Pinapakita niya lang na duwag siya! Baliw ba siya?
Ang yabang yabang niya kanina tapos ngayon tatakas lang? Swerte niya at hindi ko siya nasaksak ng bubog nitong salamin. Sisiguraduhin ko talaga na sa susunod na mangyayari 'yon, I'll make sure that he definitely bleeds out and runs out of blood.
Huminga ako ng malalim. Ilang beses kong ginawa 'yon para man lang kumalma ang sarili.
"Helios was here earlier," seryoso kong sabi kay Atlas.
Nakita ko na humigpit ang hawak niya sa malaking paperbag na bitbit niya habang nakakunot na ang noo sa akin.
"We were about to kill each other, but he ran like a coward!" reklamo ko sa kan'ya. Ramdam ko na naman na umiinit ang ulo ko dahil sa nangyari kanina. Tinuro ko pa ang daan kung saan siya tumakbo. "Duwag," I muttered under my breath.
Napabuga na lang ako ng hangin at tinalikuran siya. I grabbed a long gown hanging nearby. Fortunately, the long gown I had chosen remained undamaged, and thank God because I don't have a plan to find another one. Masyado na akong pagod sa sobrang daming nangyayari sa araw ko ngayon. I didn't even try to stop Atlas when he took my gown and carried it for me.
"Alright, I understand. Can you please calm down?" he said to me calmly.
"Paano ako kakalma, Atlas?!" I couldn't help but shout at him. "He's getting on my nerves. I swear to god," my voice trembled slightly. "The next time I see him, I won't just scratch him. I'll make sure whatever weapon I have will leave a deep mark on him, especially when I use Saf at him."
Atlas simply shook his head at my outburst. "Your back is bleeding. Let's go home so Ria can treat your wound."
Isa pa pala 'tong problema ko. I curse under my breath. "I need laser treatment for this. I chose a backless long gown, Atlas. I can't have a scar on my back while wearing something like that," I requested.
He nodded. "Sure. Ria will do the laser treatment for you later when we get to the warehouse—"
"Oh my god! Are you okay, Ms. Hexia?"
Parehas kaming napalingon ni Atlas ng marinig ang boses ng saleslady na nag-assist sa amin kanina. She covered her mouth and took my hand para makaalis na sa fitting area. Kitang kita ang mga nagkalat na dugo namin ni Helios sa fitting room.
"I apologize. Please come out so we can take care of the mess in the fitting room."
Atlas and I exchanged glances. He nodded his head towards the hallway exit of the fitting area, parang sinasabi na kailangan na naming umalis. I nodded back and followed him. Hindi ko pa maiwasan na hindi mapadaing sa tuwinng naglalakad ako dahil ang tela nitong dress na suot ko ay nagagasgas sa sugat ko sa likod.
