Stigmatized

Chapter 2

Wish......

Pa balibag na bumukas ang pinto sa gulat ko at mula doon ay iniluwa ang buwisit na si Nizel, there is half smirk in his face but that dangerous flicker in his eyes is what really caught my attention, here I am inside my room in their mansion at tanging towel lang ang sout sout ko dahil sa katatapos ko lang maligo!.

" Don't you have any decency to knock first Nizel?." Pasigaw kong tanong dito trying to mask the fear in my voice, mahigpit kong kinipkip ang tanging tapis na nagkukubli sa aking kahubdan.

But the beast only stare at me at sumandal sa may hamba ng pinto ng aking kwarto at pinag krus ang mga braso nito.

" Speak", pag kuway ang mahinang utos nito. His eyes are roaming around my body.

" wala dapat akong ipaliwanag sayo!, Si Loraine ang naabutan mo sa restaurant kaya malamang sya ang date mo...." I shrugged at nag hagilap ng bathrobe na agad kong itinapi sa aking katawan. I cannot look straight to his eyes sa dahilang hindi ko maipaliwanag.

"And here I am thinking that you've finally ask me out..". mahinang bulong nito....

"What?..." nalilito kong tanong ....

But Nizel only stares at me with that intense look in his eyes, at tiim bagang na unti unting lumapit sa akin.

" I thought I have finally made it clear to you na kailangan mo ako.. I even make Angkong talk to you...."

I can feel my temper rising sa narinig dito....

" So ikaw ang nag sumbong sa Lolo mo?..... he didn't talk to me Nizel!, he threatens me!, Idinamay pa nya ang best friend ko! " Mangiyak ngiyak na turan ko....

"She's the only friend that I got..." I said softly

He then cupped my face at marahang hinaplos ang pisngi ko... he even brushed my tears na unti unting nag landas sa aking mukha, and I just stare at him sa nag tatanong kong mga mata.

" She's not a friend to you, Eirenne... ginagamit ka lang nya dahil mahirap sya.... can't you see that she is just using you?" mahina nitong bulong sa akin habang palipat lipat ang tingin nito sa aking mga mata...

" She didn't ask anything from me... kusa kong ibibigay.." depensa ko dito,
"besides paano nya ako gagamitin?.. she doesn't know my relation with your family!"

" And you really think that?..... her father is one of our employees, kaya imposibleng hindi ka nya kilala, and yes hindi sya naghihingi sayo verbally pero yun ang ikinikilos nya, she made you feel needed, she made you feel important!"

Marahas ko syang itinulak not wanting to hear anything from him,

"Sinungaling... palibhasa matapobre ka!, palibhasa anak mayaman ka you didn't experience begging for others kasi nasa iyo a ang lahat!." Sigaw ko! At huli na bago ko naisip ang aking tinuran , of course Nizel has everything, he is a son of very wealthy Chinese family who continuously ignore him because his just the second son. He excel and work hard, but that will never be enough - kasi nga pangalawa lang sya..... and he begs all his life but no one hears him out...... ako dapat ang umi intindi sa kanya we are two lost souls who finds comfort in each others arms....

"I'm sorry..." sabi ko, guilty is eating me up seeing the pained expression in his eyes

" Ginagamit ka lang nila, Eirenne, kahit si Lorainne ay ginagamit ka lang -she wants fame at ikaw ang lucky ticket nya..." anito.." you don't need them in your life... ako lang ang kailangan mo!, I can make you feel important, I can make you my queen... ako nalang Eirenne " pag susumamo nito..
