One Mischievous Night [COMPLETED]

Chapter 28

NAPAANGAT ako nang tingin nang tawagin ako ng pulis mula sa labas ng seldang kinaroroonan ko. Yes, I surrendered myself in the authority for Therese. I can't kill myself for it's a mortal sin but I can pay the wrong I've done towards the woman who caught not just my heart but my soul too.

"What do you want?" Tanong ko at muling ibinalik ang tingin sa larawan na aking hawak-hawak. It was my woman and my son's picture. In one week of staying here in jails, wala na akong ibang iniisip kundi sila.

Nagkamot ng ulo ang pulis at bumuntong-hininga. "Ser, kasi—"

"Tabi! Papasok ako diyan!"

Kumunot ang noo ko at napatayo nang marinig ko ang pamilyar na boses na iyon. My eyes turned to the man who is struggling against the hold of the other police.

"Alec?" Ani ko. Lumingon siya sa akin at kitang kita ko ang pamumula ng mukha nito.

"Keith!" Lumapit ito sa akin at hinawak ang selda. "Pasok ako diyan, Epiboy, gusto ko diyan." Parang batang saad nito nahalos magmakaawa na.

I sighed and looked to the police who is staring at him amusingly.

"Ser, hindi ito—"

Tinitigan siya ng masama ni Alec at inambahan ng suntok. "Pag binugbog ba kita, ikukulong mo ako?"

Napa-iling na lang ako at pinabayaan silang dalawa ng pulis. Muli akong umupo at muling tinitigan ang larawan ni Therese. She looked like a Goddess who came down from heaven. She maybe a bitch but behind those bitchy attitude, I know, the damsel in distress side of her was still there.

Simula ng una ko siyang makita sa kaarawan ni Alec ay hindi ko na siya maalis sa isip ko. My real intention was to seduce her, and give her own bitchy medicine. Pero tangina, parang baliktad ata ang nangyari, because the night I claim her, she unconsciously took my heart away.

Napa-urong ako nang may umupo sa aking tabi, and I know it was my bestfriend. Nilingon ko siya at kitang-kita ko ang mukha nito na punong-puno ng lungkot at galit.

"Bakit ka ba nandito?" I asked him. He just dipped his head agaisnt his knees.

"Paying the wrongs I've done towards the woman I love," seryosong sagot nito.

I chuckled. "Gago."

Nag-angat siya ng tingin at tinitigan ang singsing na nasa palad nito. Pumikit naman ako at muling inalala ang araw na hiniling ni Therese na 'wag na akong huminga. It was the painful words I've heard in almost twenty seven years of existing. It feels like she crushed my world into pieces and stepped on it. Therese hates me. Therese loathed me..

Ilang minutong katahimikan ang namayani hanggang sa narinig ko na lang na may mga yapak ng patungo sa seldang kinalalagyan ko. I lifted my gaze only to found Dessa Joy staring at me with full of sympathy. Tinitigan ko siya ng masama, I don't need his fucking sympathy.

"What do you want?" I asked her rudely. She deserve it anyway.

Umupo ito at inilahad ang isang lunch box. Agad ko ring napansin ang kulay ube na mga pasa nito sa braso.

"Nagdala ako ng pagkain—"

"Umalis ka na," putol ko sa sinasabi niya. Sadness across her eyes. "Hindi kita kailangan—"

"Keith gusto lang kitang tulungan. Bakit mo ba ginagawa 'to? You're wasting your time asking for her forgiveness —"

I clenched my jaw. "Shut up!" I stood up and grab her hand. "Therese's forgiveness is my goal and you can't fucking stop me. Sino ka ba sa tingin mo Dessa Joy? You're just a mere woman who chased that fuckin' Rim's butt."
