Owned by the Devil

✓ Chapter Thirty: Possessive

Bukas na ang flight ng pamilya ni Kieth papunta sa kung saan gaganapin ang Christmas Party ng buong angkan nila at ngayon lang niya nalaman na ang magke-cater pala ng buong event nila ang walang iba kundi si Jeanna at ang staff niya. Wala siyang kaalam-alam at enjoy na enjoy ang Mommy Kiera niya sa reaksyon niya ngayon.

"Oh, come on, son. I had to do something, you know? You should've at least expected this." Nakangising sabi pa ng ina niya. "I asked Jeanna to keep this a secret from you, so it's also not her fault for not informing you."

Dumating na rin ang ama nila galing sa trabaho at humalik sa mommy nila. "Why the long the face, Kieth? Pinapagalitan ka ba ng mommy mo? What did you do this time?"

Tumawa dahil doon ang mommy niya. Pakiramdam niya tuloy ay bata na naman siya sa mga salita ng mga ito. Siya naman ang nagmano sa dad niya.

"No, hun, hindi ko naman pinapagalitan ang panganay natin. He's just surprised that Jeanna is the one who'll be catering our event. Nami-miss ko naman na kasi ang dalagang iyon. I had to do something to welcome her back slowly to our family."

"Mom—"

Tinapik ng dad niya ang balikat niya. "We understand your situation right now and we respect whatever it is that you plan on handling it, but your mom is right, isn't she? We will be welcoming Jeanna back home soon, right?"

Wala siyang ibang nagawa kung hindi ang tumango at magpaalam na lalabas lang para huminga. He went to their garden. He's suddenly having this urge to smoke, but he can't do it here. Mapapatay siya ng mommy niya. Bumuntong-hininga na lang siya at tinanggal ang pagkakatali ng buhok niya.

He went to his doctor almost a week ago, the day right after he spent the day with Jeanna in his farm. His psychiatrist is the only person he could go or else... He can't imagine who could've caught all his anger and rage.

He knew that Jeanna was not talking to Jeno when she answered the call when they were together. He also knows it well that eavesdropping to a conversation that isn't meant for him is not right—but fuck it. Jeanna's laughter were echoing in the room. It sounded so sweet and the moment she told whoever she's talking with that she loves them back... he lost it.

Hindi naman niya gustong sirain ang gabi nila. Fuck, he didn't even have any rights to feel anything from what he heard. Ni hindi niya kilala ang kausap ng dalaga. Putangina. Hindi niya gusto ang kung anong inasal niya sa dalaga pero... nangyari na ang lahat.

He was a real asshole and he told everything that happened to his doctor.

She was attentive of him and his needs. Galit siyang hindi siya mapagbigyan nito sa mga sleeping pills niya pero alam niyang ginagawa lang nito ang trabaho nito at ang kung anong makabubuti talaga sa kanya. The conversation he had with her helped him a lot and made him understand better.

Kailangan niyang makausap ang dalaga at makahingi ng tawad sa ginawa niya.

Huminga ulit siya ng malalim at pinakawalan iyon. Nagpunta sa pool area nila at doon naupo. Catering their event means Jeanna will meet his whole clan once again. It's like everything is repeating itself.

Alam naman ng buong angkan niya ang kung anong sitwasyon ang meron siya. He's cousins are dying to do something for him, to offer help in any way they can, to make sure he's okay. They all miss Jeanna because she was close to them, too. Lalo na si Dylan. Jeanna was like a sister to Dylan because she would always bully him. Mahirap ang sitwasyon na meron siya sa kanilang lahat pero kailangan nilang hintayin ang dalaga.

Wala pa ring nakakaalam ng kung ano talaga ang nangyari o pinagdaanan nito sa nakalipas na halos dalawang taong nawala ito. Pwedeng alam na ni Jeno, ang kuya ng dalaga, pero lahat sila ay walang lakas ng loob na magtanong dito. He was the most affected by the fact that Jeanna went missing, if he knows something, all they can do was to wait for him to say something, too.
