Above The Sky [Kismet Series One | Rewritten]

ATS - 41

The sound of the door closing invaded my space. Liam's foot steps became louder and louder as he approaches me. Nakatunganga lamang ako sa bintana, pinagmamasdan ang kulay abong langit at ang iilang ibon na malayang nakakalipad.

Nasa gilid ko lamang siya at hindi umuupo. Hinihintay ang magandang pagkakataon para magsalita. Narito kami sa kuwarto ng hotel suite namin ni Chloe. Miguel wanted to punch him so hard and beat the shit out of him earlier but I stopped him. Ayoko na ng gulo, gusto ko lamang malaman ang katotohanan kung bakit niya ginawa iyun.

I explained to Chloe and Miguel that I want a private conversation with Liam and no one shall interfere.

I let out a deep breath.

"Why did you do it? Bakit mo inangkin ang ginawa ni Lucas?" I asked him, straight to the point. Ayoko nang mag sayang pa ng panahon at laway.

"13 years ago, someone asked me to protect you from anything or anyone that might bring danger in your way. I promised to that person that I will risk my life, everything on me just to protect you."

I smirked.

"So, Lucas was a danger, huh?" I sarcastically asked him. Tumingin ako sa kaniya and I can see the tiredness and sadness lurking around his eyes.

"Yes. Siya at ang mga tao sa paligid niya, they could harm you in any way."

I laughed, isang luha na naman ang pumatak mula sa aking mga mata.

"How can you say that? Did that someone told you na delikado sa buhay ko si Lucas?"

Nakatingin lamang siya ng diretsa siya akin. Hindi sumasagot. Out of frustration, I stand up.

"Ginagago mo ba ako? Someone told you to protect me at all cost? Ano siya, secret admirer ko? My hero? Bakit hindi siya ang pumunta dito at protektahan ako, bakit ikaw ang pinadala niya?! It's frustrating, Liam! Wala akong alam, para akong tanga!"

Hindi siya sumasagot, nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya at nakikita ko ang awa at sakit sa kaniyang mga mata. Mabilis akong lumapit sa kaniya at pinaghahampas ang dibdib niya. I let out all of my anger towards him.

Hindi niya ako pinigilan, hinayaan niya lang akong hampas - hampasin siya, he stand in front of me like a lifeless statue. A statue with a paint of painful stories in his face. I could feel it, ramdam kong nasasaktan din siya at napapagod na.

"Ginagawa niyo akong tanga.." I whispered to him

"You are the only one he has, you're his life, his everything and as his brother, who left him at some devil's arms, this is the only thing I can do."

Tumigil ako, my hand rested on his chest and his eyes were beginning to let out his tears.

"Hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko kapag may nangyaring masama sa iyo, ito na lang ang magagawa ko para sa kaniya so let me, please. Hayaan mo akong tuparin ang pangako ko sa kaniya."

Umiling ako bago humiwalay sa kaniya, I comb my messy hair using my hand. I want to scream but I can't, I want to punch something, I want to destroy something. I want this fucking frustrating feeling out from my body.

"Brother? Sino? Sabihin mo sa akin ang pangalan niya? How did I became his life? Hindi ko nga siya kilala! Sabihin mo sa akin, ano ang pangalan niya?"
