Chain 39
Creepy
I bit my lower lip and avoided his intense gaze.
"Come on, Cliandria. Why did you have to put up so many walls?"
Napatingin ako sa kanya nang marinig ang halos magmakaawa niyang boses. Yes, Zarvick, I put up so many walls but you fucking destroyed it. Mabilis mo iyon natibag at hindi ko alam kung paano mo iyon nagawa nang ganoon kabilis. I really really hate you!
I didn't say a word and just stare at his inscrutable dark eyes. I looked at it alternately like I'm looking for something deep. He sighed heavily when he realized that I won't talk.
"Is it so hard to love me?" Napapaos niyang sinabi at umiwas ng tingin.
His adam's apple moved when he gulped. Para bang hirap na hirap siyang sabihin ang mga katagang 'yon sa akin. Suminghap ako nang mapagtanto ang sinabi niya. What? Bumalik ang titig niya sa akin at nakitaan ko ng lito, sakit at galit ang kanyang mga mata.
I want to shooked my head repeatedly to tell that it's not! Paanong mahirap siyang mahalin? Hindi niya ba nakikita na halos magkandarapa ang mga babae sa kanya? Girls can fall in love with him swiftly with just one look. As simple as that! Who wouldn't? He's a crush material, according to Kendall. Damn.
"Girls can easily fall for you," I said.
"I don't care 'bout them. You're the only girl that I want to fall for me, Cliandria."
I can't breathe. Damn it. Parang pinipiga ang puso ko ngunit ramdam ko ang saya nito. His words are like a blessing or a curse. Literally. Hindi na yata siya maaalis sa sistema ko.
Hindi ulit ako nagsalita. The deafening silence ate us. Hindi rin siya nagsalita at nakatitig lang sa akin habang ako ay nililibot ang aking mata sa paligid. I don't want to see us together! I mean, ayoko na ng gulo rito! Baka makarating ito kay Rhyme o kay Avarice. The second warning is enough for me. Ayaw kong masuspend at gusto kong mag-aral.
Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang maalala na may klase pa nga pala ako! I immediately turn my eyes to Zarvick and he's really serious of just watching me closely. What the hell? I cleared my throat before talking.
"May klase pa 'ko,"
Kumunot lang ang noo saka marahang pumikit. He didn't move so I just watched his face. I can see that he's really having a hard time. Nang muling bumagsak ang kanyang mga sa akin ay nakita ko ang lambot ng kanyang titig sa akin.
"I beg, Cliandria... tell me I have a chance. Give me a chance to have you in my life, please." He said breathily.
Lumunok ako. Ramdam ko ang pagkawala ng mga kabayo sa aking dibdib dahil sa bilis nito sa pagtakbo. Hindi magkamayaw at para bang ngayon lang nakatikim ng kalayaan. Halos mapamura ako. Why can't you just say it, Climate? You're hurting him and I bet you don't want to see him hurt!
"I'll do whatever you ask just to have your chance..." He added.
Lumakas ang pintig ng puso ko ngunit nabalutan iyon ng panibagong kaba nang biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang pinag-usapan namin ni Mr. Megarry. Kailangan kong mapapayag si Zarvick na sumama sa susunod niyang underground transaction. Kailangan niyang pumayag upang makita ko na si mama sa kahit kailan ko gusto at upang hayaan niya na ang pamilya ni Valentine. Fuck!
Tumingin ako sa mga mata ni Zarvick na halos magmakaawa. Damn it, is he really serious about me? Ni hindi ako naniniwala! He's playboy, asshole, jackass, but what now? Bakit iba ang nakikita ko?
"D-Do you really meant what you say?" Kinagat ko ang labi ko.
"Yes, Cliandria. And I will tell you I love you until my throat bleeds," he said seriously.
