YOU AND I COMPLETED

CHAPTER 50

DRIA'S POV
the hurt that I've been feeling is completely immeasurable. How can someone feel this so much pain?

Bakit ba ako na lang palagi yung nasasaktan? Gusto ko lang naman maging masaya, gusto ko lang naman na mahalin ako. Pero bakit parang hirap na hirap siyang gawin yun?

It's been 2 weeks since the incident happen. And di ko pinapansin si Kurt. Iniiwasan ko siya as much as possible. Ayoko na siyang makausap. Bakit pa? Para saktan niya uli ako? Ayoko na. Sobrang ayoko na masaktan. Wala na atang isasakit pa tong nararamdaman ko ngayon.

Last week na preparation na to para sa anniversary party ng parents ni Lizzy. Thank God I'm not in charge of this project. Lagi ko siyang nakikitang pumapasok dito. No doubt para puntahan si kurt.

*the day before the party

I'm having my Harry Potter marathon when dad called me

"Hi dad, what's up?"

"Hi hija, I'm just calling to ask you para umattend sa anniversary party ng mga Saavedra. Your mom couldnt go. May lagnat siya and ayoko naman siyang iwan. All your brothers are out of town. It's important that one of us is there. Please?"

I'm speechless. Why? Bakit sa lahat ng event eto pa? Sure naman akong nandon si Kurt.

"Kaya na yun ni Kurt dad"

"Hija please."

Wala na akong magawa. I feel trapped.

"Okay dad"

Ang hirap humanap ng isusuot lalo na at wala akong gana umattend dito. So I ended up buying an elegant low back gown that simply hugs my curves. I put on a very light make up and I'm all set.

The ride to the event is excruciating. Kinakabahan ako. Dria bakit ka ba kinakabahan???

I went in and suddenly I want leave. Pero I can't. I located Lizzy's family and greeted them.

"Goodevening Mr and Mrs Saavedra. My parents couldnt come tonight because my mom was suddenly sick."

"Oh hija that's alright. Is your mother already feeling okay?

"Yes ma'am. Better than yesterday. Thank you. Well i hope you find our services satisfying. Just call me or Kurt if you need anything"

"Oh yes kurt, hindi na iba si Kurt samin. And soon, we wish for him to be a part of our family."

Wtf? I just faked my smile. I am slowly breaking inside. Gusto kong umiyak.

"My daughter and Kurt have known each other for so long. It's about time their relationship level up. Don't you think honey?"

Tanong ni Mrs Saavedra sa asawa niya.

I need to get put from here.

"Well, have a good night ma'am. I need to look into a few things"

I walked as fast as i can. I can feel my tears welling up. So damn emotional! Dria get a hold of yourself. I found a spot na walang tao. It was facing the beach. And I can see the moon shining so bright.

If only things were this simple and beautiful.

"You know, you should stay away from kurt"

Napalingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses. Si Lizzy.

"And why is that?" I cant help but fight back.

"Because he is mine."

"Is that so? How can you be so sure?"

"If you're not aware yet, we have been spending most of our time together. Getting to know each other more"

Maniniwala ba ako dito?

"Don't food yourself. Dahil lang yun dito sa project"

Biglang tumawa si Lizzy. The nerve of this girl! Gusto ko siyang sugurin!!!!

"Yun ba sinabi niya sayo? Ever wonder what we were doing the night he was supposed to go out with you? We were in my condo. And he chose me over you. You were never just a partner's daughter. I can see the way you look at him. But honey, I came in his life first. So better back off."

"The nerve you got? Haha nakaka impress actually. You are so delusional. Try to win him back if you can"

I'm trying to be strong. Dria do not cry please.

"Oh honey, i already did."

"Well, how desperate can you be? Can't find your own kaya pinapangalandakan mo sarili mo sa iba? How cheap!"

Things happened so fast. She slapped me and I slapped her harder.

"You bitch!"

Sasabunutan niya na sana ako when strong body shielded me from her

"STOP"
