My one true love

Chapter #10: Maldita

"Pero ayaw ko, guys. Ayaw kong masaktan ulit si Alden."

I knocked. And entered the room.

"Maine?"

I walked towards her bed and knelt down.

"Ano nangyare sayo? Sino may gawa nito sayo, Maine? Guys, iwan nyo muna kami."

Val and Je left the room.

"Now, tell me, who did this to you?"

"A-Alden, it is none of y-your business anymo—"

"It is Maine! I'm your friend! I'm concerned for you!"

"Well you shouldn't be! Gusto mong malaman kung sino may gawa nito sakin? Si Raffa!"

I let go of her hand.

"Oo, Alden! Ung magaling mong fianće ang may gawa nito sakin! Alam mo kung ano ung sinabi nya sakin? Sabi nya inaagaw kita, binabago ko ang isipan mo! Kaya mabuti pang iwasan mo na lng ako, Alden...."

"No... Maine..."

I tried hugging her but she refused.

"Alden, I said Stop! Walang magandang idudulot ang pagkakaibigan natin! Makakasakit lang tyo ng tao! Masasaktan si Raffa, masasaktan si Vico! Kaya kung ako sayo, hindi na kita babalikan pa."

I sighed and stopped.

"I-I understand, Maine. Can I have one request before I go?"

"What?"

"One last hug."

She sighed and nodded. I hugged her and she hugged back.

"Pero sana, makapunta ka pa rin sa kasal? For me, Maine?"

"Alden, kakasabi ko lang na—"

"Please, Maine..."

"S-sige..."

I hugged her once again and told her that I was leaving. I went home, and was greeted by Raffa.

"Babe!"

I held her neck and started yelling.

"Babe, you're hurting me—"

"Wala akong pakeelam! Anong ginawa mo kay, Maine?! Sumagot ka!"

I sad as I held her neck tighter.

"Nothing! Aray, babe ang sakit!"

"Hindi mo sasabihin?!"

"Wala nga diba! Now let go of me."

I let go of her and she gasped for air.

"Impossibleng wala, Raffa. Maine wouldn't be in the hospital if you didn't do anything bad to her."

"Ano bang pinagsasasabi mo, babe?"

"Kung hindi mo sasabihin ang totoo, ititigil ko ang kasal natin."

"No! Please don't!"

"Then tell me the truth!"

"Babe, I tried controlling myself, I got jealous nung sinabi mo ung pangalan nya kagabi, kya hindi ko na tigil ang sarili ko. I'm sorry, baby..."

"Raffa, you shouldn't have done that. Baka kung anong mangyari syo?"

I sighed.

"Umuwi ka na muna, give me some time alone."

"Okay... Basta, Alden, wag mo ica-cancel ung kasal please? I love you so much! Very much!"

"Whatever."

I kissed her forehead then she left. Am I spoiling her too much?
