CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Home
When I got home my mind was thinking about Clea. Should I let her meet Crest? I don't think isusumbong niya ako kay Antreas. There's something I need to do first. I want to ask her if she knew him. I mean she probably do. She was with Antreas, years ago so, maybe. No, i know it. She knew him, she should. Antreas won't be able to hide it from her.
Pagpasok ko sa loob ng bahay ay si Antreas agad ang sumalubong sakin. He was sitting on our coffee table with liquors on it. Humina ang mga hakbang ko. What's his problem now?
Kinabahan man ay lumapit ako sa kanya.
"Okay. Why are you drinking?" I stopped in front of him.
Nag-angat siya ng tingin sakin. Nakita ko ang pag igting ng panga niya.
He was holding something he was looking into it. Ngunit ng binato niya sa table ay nagpagtanto kong picture ang mga iyon.
"What's this--" napatol ang sasabihin ko ng nakita ang pictures
It was me. Me and Crest. In different places, different time and day. Nanginig ang mga kamay ko habang hawak ang mga litrato.
"I know you've been dating Crest for months now."
I was looking at our picture. It was when we ate outside. I told Crest to go far. We had a date on the seaside. Was he following me? or made someone follow me? Its the latter, alright. If he was the one who followed us, matagal na akong nabuko.
Napatingin ako sa kanya. He was mad. But he was controling it. Unting unti nabalot ng galit ang takot ko. How could he do this?
"What this? You have me followed?"
"That's not the issue." He said
"Not the issue? You hired someone to follow your sister! How mad can you be?!"
Nang tumayo siya ay halos mapaatras ako. Pero tumitig ako sa kanya. Nagtubig ang mata ko. The way he look at me was unbearable, but I stood my ground.
"I told you one thing not to do. Adamaris." Madiin niyang sabi
"One thing! And that is to talk to him. Now you even lied and you're dating him."
"Look, Antreas. If you had a fight with him in the past. Leave me out of it. You can't decide for me!" Sinubukan kong umalis sa harap niya. Ngunit hinawakan niya ako sa braso.
"No! I get to decide for you too! Because I am you brother! Break up with him. Adamaris."
Itinulak ko siya.
"NO! That not's your decision to make! Just because you hate him doesn't mean I can't like him! And do not tell me that I lied to you." Lumapit ako sa kanya. "You're the one who who's lying to me." Walang pagkurap ko siyang tiningnan.
Natigilan siya. Its like I hit something. Bumilis ang paghinga niya.
"Right? You're lying to me! But I didn't push you to tell me! Because you have your own life! I have too!"
Nag walk out ako. Bago pa ako makaakyat ng tuluyan ay narinig ko siyang nagsalita.
"Continue your escapade with him and i'll make sure he'll be gone before you know it."
Nasaktan ako sa sinabi niya. It's like he's going to make sure I won't be happy. I want to talk to my parents but they are out of town for business. I don't want to get them worried. I can't call Crest, I want to fight for him. Baka mag-away lang sila ni Antreas if he comes here. I don't want to make things worst. As I was scrolling my contacts of who to call I stop it when I so his name. Seeing his name, naiyak lang ako dahil namimiss ko na din siya. I haven't thought of him recently.
