The 17-year-old Mistress (Mistress Series Part 1)

36

"What do you want to drink, Ivy?"

"Ahmm. Katulad na rin ng sa inyo, Carlisle." sagot nito.

"Dude, you should introduce your girlfriend, what's her name again, Vee? Is that her name?"

Pabalik-balik na nilingon ni Alley ang magpinsan.

"I don't think it's a good idea. I know you'll like her anyway. Cause you were." sabi ni Carlisle. "Kukuha lang ako ng beer."

Pagkatayo ni Carlisle ay .. "Baby, I wanna pee."

"Samahan na kita.."

"No, magtatanong na lang ako sa pinsan mo."

Iniwan na nya si Allen. Sinundan nya si Carlisle na paakyat sa kwarto nya.

"Isle!"

Napahinto sa paghakbang si Isle at saka nya ito nilingon.

"So all this time, you were just toying me?!" galit na sabi ni Alley at sinundan nya ito sa taas.

"Kinakausap pa kita! Stop right there!"

"What? What do you want, huh!"

"Sinabi mong ayaw mo sa babae ng pinsan mo, kaya ba ganito, kaya ba nilapitan mo ako noon, kaya ba pinapahirapan mo ako ngayon?!"

"You're talking non-sense." muli syang tinalikuran ni Isle.

Binuksan nya ang isang pintuan at pumasok. Sumunod naman si Alley dito.

"You are really pestering me, you jerk!"

"Ano bang ipinuputok ng butchi mo? Huh? What? You want me to fvck you here now for just half an hour?!"

"No! I thought that Jared was the biggest jerk I've ever met, but not until now! Go to hell!"

Tatalikod na sana si Alley pero hinablot sya ni Isle at hinalikan ito ng marahas, puno ito ng selos, galit at pagpapahirap.

Gustong isigaw ni Alley na sana ay itigil na ni Isle ito pero...

"You belong with me. Right here beside me. Not with my cousin or anyone else. He's married already. He's fvcking married!"

Nasasaktan man si Alley dahil sa higpit ng paghawak ni Isle sa braso nya ay sumagot pa rin nya ito.

"Alam ko! Sa tingin mo ba hindi ko nalaman yun? Hindi mo alam kung anong pinagdaanan ko ng pinili kong bitawan yung lalakeng mahal ko dahil may asawa na sya! Nanahimik naman ako dahil ayaw kong makasira ng pamilya! Binigyan ko sila ng pagkakataon dahil baka in-denial lang si Allen sa nararamdaman nya towards her wife. Pero wala, binalikan pa rin nya ako. He even filed an annulment just to be with me. I didn't ask him or them to do that. It's their own choice, so bear with it! I love Allen so much that I can't even smile for a very long time, so back off! Let us be! Leave us alone, Isle! Leave us alone!"

Humahagulgol na sa iyak si Alley.

"No. Si Allen, why always Allen? Si Beverly, I loved her first before they met. She belong to me first before she met Allen. Allen ruined everything.. But I kept my fvcking mouth shut! Hinayaan ko sila! Lumayo ako sa kanila. Tapos ngayong ok na ako at ikaw na yung mahal ko, si Allen na naman! Si Allen na naman ang pinili ng taong mahal ko!"

"I don't deserve you, Isle. You deserve someone better.."

"Can that better be you, Vee?"

"I belong to someone else. I believe that Allen and I deserve each other. I'm sorry."

"Itutuloy natin ang plano ko, Vee. You're mine when he's not around."

Ngumisi si Isle at saka binitawan si Alley. Tumakbo palabas si Alley. Nilingon nito ang braso nya. It's swollen.

--

"Eh di ok yun, babe.. At least unti-unti ka na nyang nagugustuhan."

"Ayoko sa pinsan mo. He's too full of his self. Ang yabang. Tss."

"Mabait naman yun, eh. Kaso mahirap lang talagang pakisamahan."

"I don't like him, Allen."

"You'll like him, soon."

"No way!"

--

Kinakabahan si Alley sa tuwing pumapasok sya. Hawak kasi si Isle ang kamay nya at tiyig na titig ito habang nakangiti sa kanya.

"Stop staring at me. It's rude."

"You're mine when he's not around."

"I do know! Can we just stop it already?! 'Cause it's not really working!"

Humigpit ang pagkakahawak ni Isle sa kamay ni Alley.

"You're hurting me. Tss. What more would I expect from you? It's real obvious that I can't learn to love you because you are so dense and stupid jerk!"

"Bawiin mo yang sinabi mo!"

"No, Carlisle! I won't! Bitawan mo ko!"

Tumayo si Alley kahit hawak pa rin sya ni Isle. Nagsisitinginan na lahat ng estudyante na nasa rooftop. Binitiwan naman sya ni Isle.

"Pag ito nalaman ng pinsan mo? You'll be a dead meat! I hate you!"

At tumakbo pababa si Alley.

She tried to call Allen but he's not answering.

"Damn it!!"
