"Pretty Little Promise's"

Chapter 32 Hurt me that Way

Alice Pov:

"Hey,sino Yan ?" I blurted out to Ate Shiella. She had just been dropped off by another guy.

She just glared at me."Anong pakealam mo?"

My voice rose in frustration. " Ate! What do you think you're doing? may girlfriend ka !"

'I tried, Alice. sinubukan ko namang Mahalin Siya but-... '

'But what? Because Risa's blind?' I pressed, my voice strained.

"Hindi Naman Sa Hindi Siya MakaKita but It's so hard being with her. She's jealous all the time. lahat Nalang Ng Kasama ko "

I slapped her, hard. " How dare you na Mag cheat Sa kanya !!! " I pointed at her, watching her hold her stinging cheek.

"Hmm, come on Alice,mahal mo Siya Hindi ba ? That's why you're defending her, Diba ?" She asked, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"iniiba Mo Ang Usapan " I countered.

"I'm not nag aaway Kami all the time noon you know why Dahil Sayo kasalanan Mo lahat to "

" I'm sorry "I pleaded.

" Tigilan na Natin to Alice Risa Still love you Even after all this time"

She stormed into the house and slammed the door to her room. I sank onto the couch, tears welling up. It's true, I still love her, but what can I do?

Every day, Ate Shiella comes home with a different guy Isa na Doon Yung kapwa senator Ni Risa , It breaks my heart. She's been cheating on Risa, and Risa is so oblivious.

She's blind to the point that even if Ate Shiella was cheating on her right in front of her, Risa would still love her. She doesn't know what's going on around her.

I sighed, feeling trapped and powerless. Why did this have to be so complicated? Why couldn't things just be simple?"

"The following day, I was heading to Senator Risa office for our project meeting. Kase may naisip na naman tong Si Sen. Imee na Project Ngayon lang Namin Nadagdagan Ang project Sa Tagal na din

As I walked in, Risa was reaching for a cup of coffee. She grabbed the wrong one - the hot one!

"Ouch!!!!! Sakit...." she yelped, pulling her hand back.

My heart skipped a beat. I was right there. "Sen.Ri bakit?"

I rushed to her side and gently took her hand. It was red and already starting to blister. I grabbed my handkerchief and dabbed at it, trying to cool it down.

"Who's there?" she asked, her voice tinged with confusion. "I can't see... who is it?...........Sino yan"

"ah A It's Me Alice " I said softly. "don't worry Po I'm here"

"Alice! You're here already?" Her voice brightened, a smile in her tone. "Imee hasn't arrived yet, has she?"

"ah Wala pa Po she still on her way" I replied, trying to keep my voice even. My heart was aching for her, seeing her in this situation.

"Well, have a seat. We can start the meeting once Imee gets here."

" Sige po" I said, settling down on the plush velvet couch. It was a beautiful office, but it didn't make the situation any less heartbreaking.

Risa's secretary, a kind-faced woman named Ms. Garcia, entered the office. She immediately noticed Risa's burned hand.

"Ma'am! Anong nangyare? Namumula Po yang kamay mo?" Ms. Garcia exclaimed, concern etched on her face.
