Breaking The Chains (COMPLETED)

Chain 43 - Transaction

Chain 43

Transaction

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared at him.

I tried not to cry but I cannot. I tried to hold my damn tears but it's now useless. Pinapanood niya na ako ngayon umiyak. I told myself that I won't never cry again. I won't never shed tears because I'm now stronger than I've been before.

I was wrong.

Mahina pa rin ako. Maybe I'm strong physically but not emotionally. Dahil nandito pa rin 'yong sakit. At ngayon ay nadagdagan pa. Losing their lives just for me? I couldn't afford that. Kaya nga ayaw ko na silang madamay dahil ayokong mangyari ulit ang dati. Ngunit nangyari ulit. Wala na si Mr. Watts. He was killed because he helped me to escape.

It's like the feeling of yesterday were coming back again. I can't do anything but to cry. Damn it!

"P-Please... No," I said almost a whisper.

Zarvick's lips were now half opened. Halatang nagulat siya sa biglaang pag-iyak ko. I heard him muttered curses before walking towards me. Mas lalo lang yata ako naiyak nang mahigpit niya akong niyakap.

"Shhh... Cliandria," hinagod niya ang likod ko saka ako hinalikan sa noo.

I closed my eyes firmly as I feel his soft and warm lips touching my forehead. He carefully held my cheeks with his both hands and wiped away my tears.

"Y-You won't sacrifice your life for me, Zarvick. P-Promise me," I said as I looked up at him.

Nakakunot ang noo niya at naninimbang ang mga mata habang nakatitig sa akin. I watched how he licked his lips and sighed.

"Just don't you ever do that again, Cliandria. You promise,"

Tumango ako sa kanya pagkatapos ay mabilis niya akong hinalikan sa labi bago muling yakapin. He placed my head on his strong chest and gently massage my hair.

"I love you," he whispered huskily.

I'm not fine. I know I always said I was but I'm not. But with his arms, I feel so comfortable. It's like everything's just fine. Para bang walang gulo sa labas nitong apat na sulok ng condo niya. I want to stop the time. I wish I could freeze this moment with him but I know it's a miracle if it happens.

Last time I checked, I'm happy because of him and now I'm sad and crying on him.

I don't know why God let me be with this man. Why did he gave me Zarvick? I thought he's just a mere person who would just pass in my life but I didn't know he would have a big part of it. I cursed him to death when we first met but I don't want to lose him now. I love him, now. I won't deny that.

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakatulog ngunit ang naaalala ko lang ay umupo siya sa couch at pinahiga ako sa hita niya nang huminto ako sa pag-iyak. What the hell! He just saw me cry!

Nagising ako sa malambot na kama at malamig na kwarto. Nilibot ko ang paningin ko. This is probably his room! It exactly smells like his manly scent! Damn. Pati talaga iyon ay napansin ko pa.

Inalis ko ang kumot na nakatabon sa katawan ko at bumaba ng kama. Doon ko natanaw si Zarvick sa veranda habang nakapamulsa at may hawak na wine glass. I could see his strong back and biceps. Nakatalikod siya sa akin habang tanaw ang mga katabi nitong nagtataasang building. Madilim pa rin sa labas at umiihip ang malamig na hangin sa kanyang itim at puting kurtina.
