Love And Betrayal (EDITING)

Chapter Nine

Chapter IX

Even when I was young, I always dreamt to have a perfect romantic relationship. Like what my Mom and Dad have.

Even I often see them, I know for a fact that they love each other so much. Kaya nga may Hope at Liberty na nag-eexist ngayon.

Oo na, ako na ang malandi, pero ayun talaga ang gusto ko. But years passed by, I realized that hindi lahat ng bagay ay kailangan ng pagmamahal. And being Liberty Ysabelle Pragma Yco, you can have everything you want.

"Fuck, this is all I want." He muttered.

My heart is racing. And I am panicking.

I want to tell him that this is what I want too. But Hope's face crossed my mind.

He sighed.

"Go home, Liberty. I'll just call you, okay?" He held my face while looking in my eyes, and I think, in my soul too.

Then, he left me. Tumuloy ako sa comfort room para pakalmahin ang sarili ko, para ma-digest lahat ng nangyari kanina. Or nangyari ba talaga 'yon kanina?

I want to shout my frustration but I can't. Medyo may tino pa naman ako sa kokote at alam kong nasa isang public place ako. Pero ang halikan ang boyfriend ng kapatid mo, wala sa kokote mo? Fuck my conscience! I didn't, he did!

Nagpaalam ako sa kanilang mauna na. Hindi ko na hinintay pang umalma si Hope, ganun din si Kellie. Ang gusto ko lang ngayon ay magkulong sa kwarto ko.

I used a grab a car. It is more safer, I think.

I headed directly in my room. I want to call Georgia but I know it's not the perfect idea. I want to call Summer Rain but I think she's busy and besides we don't have so much time to talk about it over the phone.

I sighed.

Ito ang problema sa akin. Pag gusto ko, gusto ko. At pag gusto ko, dapat nakukuha ko. But in this situation, I can't applied it. Can I?

Yes, I like Kio. Pero hindi ko gustong umabot sa ganito.. sige gusto ko, pero ang bigat pala sa pakiramdam.

I let my frustration through crying. Wala na akong pake kung mamaga man ang mata ko mamaya. God knows how I love my sister. And yet, I'm here, making her boyfriend cheat on her.

Nagising ako dahil sa boses ni Hope. Hindi ko na pala namalayang nakatulog na ako.

"I'm sorry I made you awaked, Lib. But are you not feeling well? Do you want me to call Dad?" She sincerely asked.

At ito naman ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ko pwedeng i-apply kay Kio ang motto ko.

"Hey, don't call Dad! Mag wo-worry lang sila. I'm perfectly fine, Hope." I smiled at her. Well, at least I tried.

"You're fine raw pero umuwi ka ng maaga! Ano 'yon?" Pagtaas naman ng boses niya. She seems really worried about me.

Pero, parang siya dapat ang mag-alala para sa sarili niya, baka kasi masaktan ko siya. No, no. Erase.

"Don't over react! Naje-jebs lang ako kanina, nakakahiya naman kung doon pa ako sa resto mag labas diba? Come on, Hope." Really, Lib? I chuckled.

Hope starts to laugh.

"You are so silly, Lib! Pwede mo namang sabihin 'yon kanina, pinag-alala mo pa ako," Sabay hampas niya ng braso ko.

"Do you want me to bring you to the hospital?" I declined as fast as I could. Hindi tiyan ang masakit sakin, kundi isip at puso!

"Okay. Sige magbibihis lang ako ah." Paalam niya pero bago pa siya makalabas ay tinawag ko na siya.

"Hope." Lumingon naman siya sakin.

"Oh, bakit?"

"Si Kio nga pala, ahm, anong nangyari sa kanya?" I asked not looking at her.

"Nangyari? What do you mean? Hmm, hinatid niya ako?" I pouted. Maybe I should not asked that again.

"Ah! Akala ko kasi nag-away pa kayo dahil sa akin, I mean sa pag-inarte ko. Hindi mo kasi siya kasama ngayon."

"Gaga, hindi noh." Sabay tawa niya pagkalabas ng kwarto.

I sighed. What the fuck was that?

I got a text from Kellie. Summer Rain too, telling how she was happy in her new collection of Tiffany and Co. jewelry.

Buti na lang pala ay hindi ko siya tinawagan. But the call I am having right now is making me feel anxious.

"Hey." He uttered. Napanguso ako. Pakiramdam ko ay nagbalik ako sa pagiging highschool student na kinikilig.

"Hi." I responds. I can't help biting my lower lip.

I vividly remember how he claimed my lips.

"How are you feeling?" Feeling ba kamo?

"Ito, malapit ng masiraan." I heard him chuckled.

"You're funny." And I know that was a sarcastic tone.

"Hey, don't insult me!"

"I'm not? You should be flattered because I complimented you." I imagine him grinning right now.

"Oh, get over with yourself." May pag-irap pa ako as if namang nakikita niya.

"As in, Love yourself?" My eyes widened.

"Oh my! You know that? By Justin Beiber?" I'm not a fan, but I love his songs. And his voice too.

"Of course, girls love that. Kaya dapat alam ko rin." Bigla namang naningkit ang mga mata ko.

He knows exactly how to pleased a women.

"So you want me to sing it for you?" I nodded even he doesn't see me right now.

"I would love to." I even smiling here!

"Okay." He said. Mas lalong lumawak amg ngiti ko dahil sa pagpayag niya.

For all the times that you rain on my parade
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart, oh girl for goodness sake
You think I'm cryin
Oh my ohhh, well I ain't

And I didn't wanna right a song
Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care, I don't but you still hit my phone up
And baby I be moving on and I think you should be something I don't wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that

Feeling ko makakatulog pa rin ako kahit kakagising ko lang. At pakiramdam ko ay lahat ng worries na meron ako ngayon ay natabunan ng malamig niyang boses.

My mama don't like you, she like's everyone
And I never liked to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job
Didn't see what's going on but now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

Ang swerte ni Hope.

Cause if you like the way, you look that much
Oh baby you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm, still holding on to something you should go and love yourself

Ang malas niya pala.
