Taming The Cold Hearted

Chapter 43

"Listen to me" pagmamakaawa nya.

Natawa ako ng mapakla. "Listen to your lies? What now? Sasabihin mo na Babe sorry kinailangan ko kasing lumayo para sayo Zeus wag ako please. Sawang sawa nako sa linya na yan. Kabisado ko na. Kaya pwedi ba? Tigilan mo na ako."

Pero parang wala itong narinig. Patuloy pa din sya sa pagmamakaawa.

"Sahara please" pagmamakaawa pa nito

"I used to loved you. But everything change Zeus. Andami ng nagbago. Lahat" I bitterly smile. I dont want to hurt him like how he hurt me.

Zeus is still special for me. Kahit na sinaktan nya ako

Lumabas ako at lumanghap ng sariwang hangin.

It kills me everytime I see him. Para akong malalagutan ng hininga.

"Sahara"

"Hey Ryle" I flashed a smile.

"Are you okey?"

I nod.

"You look wasted" natatawang sambit nito.

I glared at him. But he just laugh.

"Kung ako nalang sana yung pinili mo noon diba?" Pagbibiro pa nito.

Natawa ako dahil sa kabaliwan nya. Bigla akong napaisip. What if sya na lang talaga ang pinili ko?

"But you know what? He loves you. Trust me. I know Zeus I've been his bestfriend for almost 15 years. Alam ko na yung takbo ng utak ni Zeus. He may be mean to you when we're stil in college but trust me he loves you. And his trying his best to make everything work out. Just please trust him sahara"

Ryle gently tap my shoulder before he leave.

I dont know what to do anymore.

I take a deep breath before I went upstairs.

I didn't bother to knock. Binuksan ko ang pinto at sumalubong saakin si Zeus.

He look wasted like me.

Should I let him explain his side?

For what?

It wouldn't change the fact. But damn. It's now or never.

I grab his collar "Explain. Im giving you five minutes to speak. One ..."

"Im sorry. Im really really sorry for leaving you. For hurting you. For making you cry. For everything. Sahara, I love you and believe me or not I just made the right choice. Leaving you to protect everyone specially you. Im afraid you will get hurt because of me that's why. And I know it's already to late for the both of us but I am willing to wait and make everything work out. Just please let me. Give me a chance baby please. Nag sisisi ako na iniwan kita hindi ko man masabi sayo lahat pero sana maniwala ka naman saakin. Mahal na mahal kita "

He cried. Seeing him like this make me want to slap myself.

"Saha--"

"Time's up" binitawan ko ang collar nya.

And I sit beside him. I cover my face with my hands.

Damn it. I shouldn't feel this way.

Im being stupid again right know because of this man.

"I hate you. I hate you" I whispher.

"I know and I hate myself too" I can still hear his sob.

I stand up and walk away. That's enough. I know what exactly happend that day. Kung bakit ako iniwan ni Zeus. Mama explained everything to me. I just hate tha fact na kailangan pa naming umabot sa ganito.
