Burnt Traces (Esquivel Series #1)

CHAPTER 39

CHAPTER 39
LOOK WHO'S HERE

          JEALOUSY is a part of every relationship. It's only natural for a couple to have some misunderstandings though I'm not yet pro of handling it well. Aminado akong ill-tempered ako pagadting sa mga malalandi at masyadong mapapel sa buhay ng may buhay.

"Cyanara?" Narinig ko ang katok ni Mommy sa pinto.

"Yes mom?" Nakaupo na ako sa kama at ayos na ayos na para mamaya.

Today is the social gathering of the family and I expect that it would be bomb. Aligaga na si Mommy kahapon, masyadong busy para sa pag-fofollow up nang event.

"Aalis na tayo. Bibihisan ka pa. Your brother called me at ang sabi'y hahabol siya." Aniya bago umalis.

Cymon was away for quite a long time now. Hindi na siya nakauwi pa ng mansion. He decided to stay in one of the Atalia's house property near the resort that he's managing. I heard that the business has dramatically increased in terms of finance.

Pinalinis niya ang paligid at binago ang ilang huts na may defects o masyado ng luma. He also implemented a strict policy to never litter their trash. I can't wait to visit the resort soon.

Bago ako umalis sa kwarto ay nagtipa
muna ako ng itetext kay Heiron.

Paalis na kami.

Hindi umabot nang minuto ay kaagad siyang nakapag-reply.

Take care. I miss you

I just rolled my eyes and remembered the conflict that happened between us yesterday.

Paglabas ko pa lang ng comfort room ay napatigil kaagad ako. Nakahilig sa may pinto si Heiron habang nakapamaywang.

"Anong ginagawa mo rito?!" Iritado kong tanong. His jaw clenched as I spat irritatingly.

"Umalis ka na nga! You jerk!" Irap ko at kaagad naglakad paalis.

Nandito pa rin sa kaloob-looban ko ang pagkakairita sa babaeng haliparot na iyon. But a part of me was relieved dahil siguro nasabi ko na ang mga salitang gusto kong sabihin sa pagmumukha niya.

I'm not 'that' territorial. Ngayon lang talaga ako nakadama nang matinding pagkakairita. Iyong kinikimkim kong galit ay nailabas ko na.

"We need to talk." He said darkly.

"Oh don't force me to do that, Esquivel. I'm still too mad to talk about it."

"Wala akong pake." Bigla na lang niya akong hinila and the next thing I knew, we were already in his car.

"Ano ba?! I told you that I'm not in the mood to talk about it! Bingi ka ba?" Asik ko habang frustrated na dahil sa mga nangyayari.

Hinarap niya ako at nakita ko ang nagbabagang galit sa kaniyang mga mata.

"Who told you to go with that lowlife, huh? I didn't consent you to go with him." I laughed sarcastically at his remark.

"It's his birthday for God's sake—"

"Kahit na. You know how I hate seeing boys of your age oogling around you." He's being so unreasonable. Dismayado akong napailing at iniwas ang tingin ko sa kaniya.
