Book 2: Cause All I See Is You (Jholet)

My Jho

 Colet

[Flashback]

I slammed Maki's body forcefully against the wall, the impact echoing in the room. 

My grip on his collar was unrelenting, my knuckles turning white as fury coursed through me.

Anger barely scratches the surface of what I'm feeling right now. 

It's a seething, all-consuming storm raging inside me, fueled by the weight of everything I've uncovered—the lies, the betrayals, and the truths. 

My head hung low as my grip on him tightened, my knuckles trembling with the force. Tears began to streak down my face, warm and relentless, betraying the storm inside me.

"Nga-ngano..." mahina kong sabi. 

Nanginginig ang boses ko sa dami ng emosyon na nararamdan ko. 

Gusto kong sumabog.

"Colet, I'm sorry," Maki pleaded, his voice cracking with desperation.

"Nganoo!!..." I roared, my voice echoing with unrestrained fury.

"Colet, please..." Maloi tried to intervene, her trembling hand reaching for my arm. 

But the moment she met my bloodshot, furious gaze, her resolve crumbled. She froze, her words dying in her throat.

My jaw clenched tightly, my teeth grinding every fiber of my being burned with the intensity of my rage, unwilling to be calmed.

"Huwag kang makialam dito! Ang laki ng kasalanan ng boyfriend mo sa'kin. Sa amin ni Jhoanna!" sigaw ko, halos pumutok sa galit.

Maki coughed from the pressure of my grip, and I could feel the strength I was putting into it. 

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring myself to care. My vision was clouded, everything fading into darkness as the rage consumed me.

Suddenly, I felt strong arms pulling me away from Maki. 

It was Gwen and Mikha, forcing me back, their grip firm as they tried to separate us.

"Awat na Colet," Mikha said trying to calm me down.

I struggled, pushing against them, desperate to get back to Maki. 

But they held me down with so much force, restraining me from moving any closer.

"Bitawan niyo ko! Babasagin ko ang pagmumukha niya!" I screamed.
