Taming the Chaos

CHAPTER 2

I don't know what happened to me or what exactly occurred, but after that day, I could feel the changes in me so strongly that even I couldn't believe it myself.

Sometimes, I wonder if that day was just a dream or if I was cursed, But she was too beautiful to be an curser-then again, maybe that's exactly how they look?

Fuck! Something's really wrong with me!

Nung una ay isa siyang anghel na pinadala para sunduin ako ngayon naman isang mangkukulam?

The fuck? Storm?

You're losing your mind, you're going crazy.

Since that incident, there hasn't been a day, hour, or minute where she hasn't invaded my mind! No matter what happens in my life, she's always there, tormenting my thoughts.

And from that day on, I could no longer get close to any other woman!

I could feel a chilling sensation every time someone touched me. It's as if it sent a cold shiver through my nerves, causing me to instinctively pull away and brush their hands off.

Fucking hell! This is not me!

Napapansin na din nga mga kaibigan ko ang pagsisimula kong maging ilap sa babae. At ang mga gago tinatawanan at inaasar na lang ako.

"Bro, kung sa tingin mong tatanggapin ka pa sa langit dahil sa biglang pagbabago mo, please lang, huwag ka ng umaasa" inakbayan ako ni Dash gamit ang kaliwang braso saka lumitaw ang malalakas nilang halakhakan.

We're at the bar now to have fun and drink, celebrating the end of an exhausting hell week.

This is my situation now-taking all their teasing and taunts because they've noticed what's going on with me.

Kahit sila'y napapansin na ang pag-iwas ko sa mga babae dahil nga sa hindi na ako kumportable sa mga hawak nila. Kahit pa sabihin na'ting kating-kati na akong malialiw ay hindi ko magawa! Why? It felt so fucking weird because of those women touch.

Kahit pa ang mga pinakatipo kong babae na matagal ko ng pinorpormahan ay ganun-ganun ko na lang tinabig ang mga hawak nito. Hinarang ko pa ang kamay ko nung ako'y hahalikan ng babae.

And that's when I realized that something was truly wrong with me.

I'm the type who doesn't turn away on my prey that comes close to me. I mean, think about it- I haven't even tried hunting, yet they come to me on their own. So who am I to refuse?

And just like that, ni walang pagdadalawang isip akong tumatanggi at tinatabig ang kamay nila.

"Shut up, fucker!" Singhal ko sabay inikutan sila ng mata, ikinatawa naman ito ng mga gago.

"Really bro, what's up with you? Ilang araw ka ng ganiyan?" Tristan grin. "Kilalang-kilala ka namin, Raven. Ilang linggo kang walang dinidiligan kaya alam naming kating-kati ka na, so what's the problem?" Hindi nawawala ang mga ngiti niyang nakaka-asar.

"Don't ask me! Even I don't know!" I said loudly, filled with frustration.

Marahas kong ginulo ang buhok ko at mabilis na nilagok ang isang basong alak.

Kanina pa kami dito, kaniya-kaniya na ang mga kandong nilang babae
Maliban na lamang kay Larkin. Well, he has a girlfriend, so that's understandable.

"Did something happen?" Larkin ask in his serious voice.

"Last time, I had a one-night stand with a woman who turned out to have a boyfriend. He came after me and shot me. I could fight back, but there were five of them and I was alone, exhausted from just finishing my studies." Kwento ko, natigilan ang iba sa kanilang mga ginagawa at bumaling ang mga atensyon sa akin.
