Perfect Imperfections: Pollux (Completed)

34

Chapter 34:

Pollux's POV:

He let out an exasperated sigh while reviewing Patria's pictures from her pictorial.

It's like she's a goddess or something.. more ethereal.

While they were doing the pictorial he can't help but to admire her, with joy and sorrow.

Joy because she's living her life and making and creating her own path..sorrow because he's not part of it.

Although he's he said he won't back down, but still it hurt.

It freaking hurt he wanted to shout, his desperate need to hug her and kiss her and tell her how much he misses her.

But he knew what will happen next if he'd done that, she's going to isolate him..on the place she made that he doesn't exists.

She's so near..yet so far.

He tried everything that could make her grow.

Damn it he even purposely avoided her too..

He wanted to get drunk, he felt like--

No, it really felt like he's worthless.

He wanted to touch her, yet he can't.

He wanted to love her..yet she refused.

"What the fúck.." He swore.

He went to his parent house but they're not there so he went straight to the mini bar.

It's been what since he started drinking? It's been almost three agonizing week.

He knew it's not healthy, but it felt like alcohol is his best friend now.

He smiled bitterly.

He was almost drunk when he felt a light tap on his shoulder.

And there, he saw his father shaking his head while looking at him.

"Yeah, I'm a mess..don't spell it out Dad" he said on a slurred speech.

"But you need to" his father says.

He grimaced.

"What are you doing and you're drinking like this?" Tanong ng daddy niya.

He exhales loudly.

"Woman..right?" His father asks, he froze.

Then nods his head.

"Do you love her?" Tanong nito.

He looks at his own Dad while he's pouring his own drink.

"I know.. I speak from experience my son" tumawa ito.

But he's not.

"Loosen up, Pollux..if she doesn't like you..hey look at me!" Sabi nito at hinuhuli ang mga mata niya.

"I was like you when I had this dilemma like yours, I was giving your mother..time, but then..I snapped and insisted kaya nandito ka..." Kwento nito at natawa na parang may naalala.

"What did you do, Dad?" Takang tanong naman niya.

"I cornered her, and make your mom...mine " sabi nito at napakurap siya.

"Since time is not giving me any good results, I made a move" then his dad smiles widely.

"Life is short to wait, make a move and make your own destiny, son" sabi nito at mabilis na tinungga ang nasa baso at saka siya tinapik sa balikat.
