The Broken Billionaire (Billionaires Series 1)

Kabanata 8

Another flash for Duke's past.

--

"Duke, please talk to us." His mother plead.

He just blankly starring to the walls. No emotion can see in his eyes.

"Mom let kuya take a rest." hinawakan ng kanyang bunsong kapatid na babae ang kanyang ina at inakay papalabas ng kanyang silid.

He gave a deep breathe before he close his eyes. Hindi niya kayang kausapin o tignan man lang ang kanyang pamilya. Sinisisi niya ang sarili sa nangyari sa kanyang kakambal.

Muli siyang napa bukas ng mata ng maramdaman niya ang pag bukas ng pinto. Isang nurse ang pumasok sa silid niya upang icheck up siya.

"Do you need anything sir?" Tanong nito pagkatapos siyang tignan.

"Bring me to my brother" he coldly ordered the nurse.

Bagamat nag aalangan ay tinulingan siyang makalipat ng wheelchair at itinulak papunta sa kwarto ng kanyang kapatid. Its been two weeks since the accident but there still no progress from his brother.

He saw how horrible his brother is. May benda ito sa ulo at puro pasa at sugat ang mukha may benda rin ito sa dibdib at naka cast ang kanang paa.

He hold his tears. Siya nalang dapat ang nasa ganung kalagayan. He surely know that his brother hate him to the core. Hindi niya napansin ang tuloy tuloy na pag agos ng luha niya. He felt a fang of pain in his heart.

Ilang minuto pa ay bumalik na siya sa kanyang silid. And there he saw his girlfriend Sofia, sitting on a sofa.

"Babe." he happily said, but Sofia just arked her eyebrow to him.

He ignored it. Sanay na siya sa pagiging mataray nito. He just rolled his chair to where Sofia is sitting.

"I missed you" hinawakan niya ang mga kamay nito ngunit tinabig ito ng dalaga.

"My god Duke akala ko naman kung anong nangyari sayo!" Sigaw nito at lumayo sa kanya.

"What are talking about?" Naguguluhang wika niya rito.

"Your sister said that you are in a critical condition! But look at you right know! Nagawa mo pa ngang lumabas ng silid mo!" Galit na sigaw nito.

Napakunot siya ng noo sa sinabi nito at unti unti na rin siyang naiinis rito.

"So if I'm not in a critical condition you wouldnt going home?" Madilim na tanong niya rito.

"Of course! I'm enjoying my vacation in Florida then your sister call me and said your in bad condition!" Nangangalaiting sigaw nito.

Hindi makapaniwalang natawa siya rito. Hindi niya alam na ipag pqpalit siya nito sa bakasyon.

"You're unbelievable" he muttered.

"Whatever! Mukha namang okay ka I'm going" akmang lalabas ito ng pinto ng muli siyang magsalita.

"The doctor..... The doctor said i wouldnt able to wa-walk again" nahihirapang wika niya.

He is hoping that Sofia would cry and hug him and going to tell him that everything would be okay. But she looked at him horrified.

"Say what!?" Nag hehystirical na wika nito.

"You're now a useless cripple!?" He felt a pain in his heart when he heard what his girlfriend said. Hindi niya inaasahan na sasabihin ito sa kanya ng nobya of all people. Sofia walk out in his room leaving him dumpounded.
