Behind Every Scars [COMPLETED]

Jealousy

10

Hugo

"ANG SAYA ng date natin, Boyfriend!"
She said cheerfully.

Kumain lang naman kami sa karinderya, pumunta sa sementeryo at umuwi pero kahit ganoon lang ay mukhang nag-enjoy pa rin siya. She's talkative and I admit, saglit kong nakalimutan ang mission ko para sa susunod na linggo.

It's not supposed to be a date, but I guess it wasn't bad to let this woman experience how to feel to be dated by me? Right? And besides, kapag napalapit na ako sa kaniya mas madali akong makakapasok sa buhay ni Pauline.

"Babye boyfriend! Mag-ingat ka, magpapakasal pa tayo!"

Napailing na lang ako. "Whatever Pamela."

She giggled before closing the door. I sighed and about to turned my back when I felt someone's presence behind me. Hindi ako kumilos hanggang marinig ko ang pamilyar na boses na iyon.

"I told you to stay away from Pamie."

Nilingon ko si Pauline na masama ang tinging pinupukol sa akin. I smirked and walked towards her but she keeps on stepping back. Umigting ang panga ko dahil sa pinapapakita niyang pag-iwas. Fuck this, I'm still her Caspian.

"Pauline," I mumbled her name.

"'Diba sinabi kong iwasan mo si Pamie? Sasaktan mo lang siya, Hugo. Maaawa ka naman sa kapatid ko, she's just eighteen years old!"

I grab her arm and drag her towards my car. Isinandal ko siya sa pinto ng sasakyan ko at tinitigan nang mataman.

"I was trying to ignore her presence, pero makulit ang kapatid mo—"

"Oh come on! Kaya mo siyang iwasan, alam ko. Pero bakit ayaw—"

"Dahil siya ang magiging daan ko para mapalapit sa'yo, Pauline. And I won't stop unless you tell me that you'll be with me..again," I told her.

Tumalim ang tingin niya at umangat ang kaniyang kamay. The next thing happened makes my anger risen up. He slapped me hard and it hit not just only my face but my heart as well. Bahagya akong napaatras sa ginawa niya.

"Wala kang karapatan saktan ang kapatid ko, Hugo. I will never be yours again, tandaan mo 'yan. At oras na umiyak ang kapatid ko dahil sa'yo, I swear. Ako ang makakalaban mo," she said in a very brave way.

Tinabig niya ang kamay ko at tinulak ako palayo. She was about to walked out when I grab her arm and cupped her nape. With one swift move, I kissed her. Damn this, it's familiar and I admit, I missed her. I really do.

She fights against my hold but I'm stronger than her, until she surrender. And instead of fighting, she kissed me back. Ramdam ko ang kusang pagpulupot ng mga braso niya sa leeg ko. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pressed her body against mine.

"Hmmm," she moaned as I cupped her butt, putting her body on me.

Nang humiwalay ang labi namin ay agad nagtagpo ang aming mata. Her eyes looks lonely and incomplete. I caressed her cheeks, making her feel that I'm still the man he loved before. Her eyes watered until she burst out crying. Niyakap ko siya nang mahigpit, at hindi sinasadyang napalingon ako sa bintana sa itaas.

And there, I saw the girl behind the curtains. She hides yet it was too late, I already saw her. She was looking at us with her eyes full of sadness. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at hinaplos ang buhok ni Pauline na nakasubsob sa aking dibdib habang umiiyak.

"H-hugo, bakit? bakit mo ako iniwan!" she wept.

I kissed her head. "I'm sorry, Pau. I'm so sorry."
