Fall Into Places (Into Trilogy #1)

Kabanata 21

"Do you still have feelings for him, Moira?"

He asked randomly habang naglalakad kami sa daan patungo sa bahay ko. We've just finished eating at sinabi niya sa'kin na ihahatid niya ako.

"With who?" I ask innocently while swaying my feet everytime I walk like a kid.

"Klyne." He answered.

I stopped walking and he also did. I sigh and looked at him while hugging the jacket that he gave me earlier because I forgot to bring one dahil hindi ko naman ini-expect na naroon din si Klyne.

"Honestly," I sighed again. "I don't know either, Clyde. I mean," napasapo ako sa aking noo. "I like you, pero something's holding me back because of him. But I'll never ever dump you, Clyde. I like you so much but can you wait longer?" I asked hesitantly.

He just smiled at me and nodded. "I'll always wait for you, Moiranelle. You're always worth the wait."

Hindi ko namang mapigilang mapangiti dahil sa sinabi niya. This is what I've like the most about Clyde. He's a man of his words. His promise is a promise. At kapag hindi niya natupad iyon dahil na rin minsan sa mga emergencies, bumabawi naman siya kaagad.

We talked a little until we reached my house. Lumapit siya sa'kin at hinalikan niya ako sa pisnge ko na ikanapikit ko at ikinapula. "Goodnight, Moira."

Nagpaalam na siya at umalis na. I watched him walk away from my house for a minute until I decided to enter my house.

Napatanga naman ako sa nakita kong mga kalat sa sala namin. "What the hell!"

Mom was wearing a tight, sexy and  a revealing dress with her oh-so-called friends! The house was in mess. Maraming mga bote ng alak ang nakakalat. Hindi ko mapigilang panindirian ang kaibigang naghahalikan ni mama. What the fuck is going on here?

"What the fuck is this ma?!" Hindi ko na napigilang isigaw.

Napatigil naman sila sa pagtatawanan at pag iinuman at tumingin sa'kin.

"Oh, Moira, narito ka na pala. Come on, join us." Tawag ni mama sa'kin na ikinakuyom ko ng kamao.

Tumayo naman ang isang kaedaran lang ni mama na lalaki at akmang lalapit sa'kin.

"Don't go near me." I said coldly that can bring shivers down your spine.

Nakita ko ang pag flinched ng ipang kaibigan ni mama sa boses ko. But the man in front of me didn't mind at all.

"Join us," ani nito habang hinawakan ang braso ko na ikinainit ng ulo ko.

"Bitawan mo ako." Mariin kong saad. He won't dare to make me repeat myself.

"Come on! Stop being a hard to get bitch. You're like your mother—"

That's it. I lost it.

Wala pang ilang segundo ay nasa sahig na ang lalaki habang sapo-sapo ang braso nitong binali ko. Yes, binali ko talaga. I want him to suffer dahil sa pambabastos niya sa'kin.

"Fuck! You slut! What did you do to my arm! Ugh!" Namilipit ito sa sahig dahil sa sakit.

Nginisihan ko lang siya at tiningnan ng blanko. "That's what you get for calling me names." Tiningnan ko si mama at ang mga kaibigan niya pang iba. "So, who's next?"

Akmang tatayo ang lalaking katabi ni mama pero pinigilan niya ito.

"Don't. She's a black belter and she has trained mix martial arts."

Nakita ko naman ang paglunok ng lalaki at dahan dahan nitong pagbalik sa upuan. Nobody would dare to face a Moiranelle Khaleesi Kingsley.

"You're all worthless piece of shits. Hindi ko alam kung may mga pamilya kayo o wala, but they would be very disappointed if they'll know that you're here. Touching some other pussies and cocks."

"Moiranelle!" Saway ni mama sa sinabi ko.

"Don't call my name! Sawang sawa na ako! I can't stand you, ma. You're becoming a bitch..."

"Moira..."

I looked at her with disappointment bago sila tinalikuran at pumunta ako sa itaas. I gathered some clothes in my large traveling bag and my other important things before deciding to go down and get out of the house.

"Moira! Saan ka pupunta?!" Saway ni mama sa'kin.

Hindi ko siya nilingon. I just calmed my nerves. "You don't fucking care. You live your life. I live my life, too."

Tuluyan na akong umalis at naglakad patungo sa kung saan man ako dalhin ng mga paa ko.

I stopped in front of Ianthe's house. The lights were already off because it's half past midnight. Kahit nahihiya man ako ay tinawagan ko siya.

"Hello, Moira?" Halatang nagising siya dahil sa tawag ko.

"Ianthe..."

"It's turning 1am already, Moira. Okay ka lang ba—"

"I'm outside your house."

Napatingin naman ako sa phone ko ng mag end call iyon. I sighed. Aalis na sana ako sa harapan ng bahay ni Ianthe ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng bahay niya at patakbong lumapit sa'kin.

"Moira! Are you okay?"

Ngumiti lang akong sakaniya ng malungot bago ko binitawan ang mga dala ko at yumakap sakaniya. She hugged me back while I cried hard in her shoulder.

The betrayal of my own mother is really hurting me deep inside this heart of mine. Akala ko may mas masakit pa sa pang iiwam ni papa sa'min. 'Yon pala eh sasaktan niya rin ang dadamin ko. Wala silang mga pinagkaiba. They're all the same.
