The Accused (A Series #1)

Chapter Twenty-Two

She was here.

She was here.

She was here.

She was here and she was with him.

Parang sirang plaka ang utak niya na paulit ulit sinisigaw ang mga katagang yun. At sa bawat bigkas nito ay pakiramdam niya pinagbabato siya ng mga matitigas na bagay straightly to her heart. She should be numb right now. Pero bakit? Bakit nakakaramdam pa siya? Ang sakit sakit na.

So she was back again, huh? What? Magkakabalikan na naman sila? O baka naman nagkabalikan na?

Gosh, why was life so unfair!

Hindi niya kayang pigilan ang sarili na di maluha. Everything was falling apart. And it was because of herself. Her foolishness made it all.

But no!

It was not because of herself. Kung di lang dumating ang babaeng kinsusuklaman niya, walang ganito kasakit na eksena sa buhay niya.

It was because of her! The woman she was seeing right now with the man she loved. This was happening because of her! It was all her fault.

Hindi niya alam kung kailan siya napansin ng mga ito basta naramdaman niya nalang na may humawak sa braso niya na dali dali niya namang iniwakli.

How dare her touched her! Wala siyang karapatan!

Halata namang nagulat ang babae pati na din si Calev na agad napasigaw sa pangalan niya. Nilapitan nito si Scarlette at agad inalo.

"Are you alright?" Mababakas ang pag-aalala sa boses ng binata.

Hah! Para lang winakli masasaktan agad!

"I-I am fine. Ahm... August, I want to—"

"You don't get to call me August like we were friend since the day we were born," she said with all the bitterness she felt.

"August!" saway ni Calev sa kanya ng pasigaw.

"What?!" balik niyang sigaw dito.

Mukha namang natigilan ang dalawa sa biglaan niyang sigaw. Nakita niya ang agarang paghawak ni Scarlette sa tiyan nito na parang may pinoprotektahan but it was the least of her concern.

"Bakit ba...B-bakit.." She could not almost speak. It was like something was blocking her throat. She kept on crying loudly but she tried all her best to compose herself just to scream at them with all her might dahil palagay niya ay pag niya gagawin iyon ay sasabog nalang siya bigla. "Bakit ba ang unfair unfair niyo!!!"

She was in a lot of pain na parang di na niya kakayanin. She was weeping. She was weeping in front of the people that caused all of the pain she was feeling.

Hindi niya alam saan nanggagaling ang asal na ipinapakita niya sa ngayon basta ang alam lang niya, she was talking by all her heart. This was what she was feeling. She felt hatred towards the woman infront of her. She felt frustrated for the man she loved who was with the woman she loathed. She felt pity for her baby. She felt like dying inside. She felt like exploding. Explode with all the pain she could not bare anymore.

She felt a little dizzy from shouting na agad namang napansin ni Scarlette. Akmang lalapit na naman ito nang pigilan ito ni Calev.

"Stay away from her, Scarlette."

Mahina iyong bulong ni Calev pero nasagap pa din ng tainga niya and she could not help but to felt down more.

Why? Did he think she could hurt the woman he loved?
