Chapter 07

Chapter 07

**

Should I believe what Tanya has said? Of course, not! Nicholas is her brother and it's normal to defend him to me. Though, there's a part of me that I wanted to believe but my negative side is much bigger than my positive side.

And it's really hard to fight.

When Tanya left me with those words. My tears can't stop falling in my eyes. I cried hard until I felt better.

I scanned the whole place a while ago. My clothes are still here, they are still new and smell good. Parang lagi itong nalalabhan dahil imposible naman na hindi mawala ang bango nito sa matagal na panahon.

When I continued scanning the whole place, hindi rin lamang dalawa ang picture frame ko na nakita ko rito. They are more than five and the other pictures when I was still with Nicholas. Bakit hindi pa rin nila inaalis dito ang mga gamit ko?

After scanning the whole room. I've decided to wash and change my clothes. I'm still wondering, who changed my clothes. I forgot to ask Tanya about this.

I opened the door and went out. The whole mansion of Demercibal is quiet. Tanging mga equipment lang sa paglilinis ang naririnig ko. It's up and down, masyadong malaki ang kanilang bahay kaya nga noong unang pasok ko pa lang dito ay naligaw na ako.

Nicholas was laughing at me, that time. He toured me inside their mansion. Pinakilala niya rin sa akin pati mga kotse niya, pati ang binabalak niyang maging architect na nakuha niya na rin naman dahil nakapagpatayo na siya ng bahay nila Stan at Raea. Well, the news wasn't mine.

I heard a door kaya napatingin ako sa dakong 'yon. I saw Nat, Nicholas' younger brother. Sunod lang sa kaniya. He's wet, parang katatapos lang nitong maligo.

He accidentally drifted his eyes in my direction, he had half a smile, "Good morning, Ives. Looking for my brother?"

I shook my head. "Good morning, too." I smiled, "U-Uhm... no..."

"Well, okay. Alam mo naman siguro ang kuwarto niya diba? Puntahan mo na lang, I need to go home my wife is waiting for me."

I nodded my head, "Yeah. Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

Until now, I'm still thinking if I'll sneak inside his room. When Nat left, my nervousness filled my whole system again. Why would I go to his room, if I can go home now?

Right!

"Where are you going, Miss?" a soft voice came and filled my ears.

Shit... sinasabi ko na nga ba, hindi talaga ako makakatakas sa taong 'to! Lakas ng ampog niyang makaramdam na aalis ako. What the hell?

"Downstairs!" I hissed, "Uuwi na ako, okay?"

He put his hands inside his pocket. He smiled at me and started to walk through my direction. Kitang kita ko ang bawat paggalaw ng kaniyang muscles, the way his jaw is clenched and his adams apple moves up and down.

"Good morning. How's your sleep? Did you sleep well? My mom would kill me if I slept beside you that's why I have no choice but to sleep hard in my room." he shrugged his shoulders.

My eyes slightly widened, "It's better not to have you beside me! I'm more comfortable without you!"

He still smiled, "Enough for this. It's too early for us to fight. Let's go, we're going to eat."

"I want to go home. My friends are waiting for me!"

He raised his eyebrow, "Did you forget that I have your phone? I can text them anytime I want."
