YOU BELONG TO ME

Chapter 37

"So what will happen after this urgent marriage? "Her friend asked her after a long silent coming from her.
"I don't know either. My mind feels like bursting from all these crazy things that just happened! And I wanted to drown myself in the river and forget everything. I wanted to escape from all these sickening problems Andrex just let me in. You know I'm damn tired of all these things happening to me. I can't even escape his shadows you know. Wherever I go he's always there and makes things difficult. "Saad nyang biglang ng breakdown sa harap ng kaibigan kung di sya maagap na nasalo nito malamang humampas ang kanyang noo sa matulis na bahagi ng rectangular table sa harap nya.
"Hush Cheenna... Don't scared me like this. It's the first time you breakdown on me like it's the end of the world. "Anito saka ginagap ang kanyang mukha at pinaharap rito.
"Look into my eyes girl. You're not my strong friend who's always cheer me up whenever I got big issues. "Anitong maagap syang hinila payakap rito.
"I don't know myself anymore Alexa. When it comes to Andrex I'm easily given in. Why can't he just let me live my life without him involving himself? He's creating big mess this time Alexa and I can't bear if something's happened to my family I don't want them to get involved in my personal problems. "Aniya
"Hush... I understand what you feeling right now. But at this moment I need you to rest I'll call a room service for you to get a proper meal. "Anito sabay alalay sa kanya patungo sa kanyang silid ngunit nasa bungad pa lamang sila ng pintuan. Bigla syang kumalas rito sabay takbo papasok habang ang mga kamay nya ay napatakip sa kanyang bunganga.
Nang mabuksan ang pintuan ng bathroom sa loob ng kanyang silid mabilis syang napasugod sa inidoro at doon napaduwal ng wala sa oras.
Halos mailabas nya na ang lahat ng nakain nya sa araw na iyon kasama ang laway na tila di maubos ubos.
Napatingala sya sa maliit natowel na biglang lumitaw sa kanyang harapan. Nakatunghay sa kanyang ang kaibigan biglang lumiwanag ang mukha ng mapagtanto ang nangyayari sa kanya.
"I don't need to asked you who's the asshole. "Anitong napahalakhak ng tila wala ng bukas.
Lukot ang mukhang pinansilikan nya ito ng mata.
"And do you think I'd be happy waltzing to him telling him he fucking impregnated me again with his child?! "Frustrated nyang turan rito sabay takip ng mga kamay sa kanyang mukha. Instead na sagutin sya kinabig lang sya nito payakap at inalo sa pamamagitan ng paghimas nito sa kanyang likuran. Impit syang napaiyak hanggang mauwi iyon sa hagulgol.
"I don't know what to do anymore Alexa. Please take me away from here. I need to escape from all of these happening to me.  I can't stay here any longer. I will go crazy thinking my situation. Please I need you now. I will lost myself if I'll stay here bit longer. "Aniyang muling napahikbi sa kaibigan.
"Hush babe, I don't want anything happen to you or the little babe inside you growing. Don't worry everything's gonna be alright.... "Anito inalalayan sya nito patungo sa kama at saka pinahiga hanggang sa mamigat ang kanyang mga talukap sa sobrang stressed at exhaustion na nadarama nya.
Kinintalan sya nito ng mabining halik sa noo bago tuluyang higupin ng dilim ang buo nyang pagkatao.
'Don't worry Cheenna I'll let you go as far away from Andrex to pull yourself up again. Right now my concerns are to keep you and the babe save until I make sure you're out of stress and pressure. 'Aniya sa isipan lamang. Hinigit nya ang kanyang phone na nasa likod ng kanyang jeans saka tinawagan ang dalawang taong mabilis na makakapag-alis sa kanila doon.
She never knew this would be the ending of her relaxing getaway vacation from work.......

"Are you fucking kidding me Lawrence?! "Ang galit na hampas ni Andrex sa mesang kaharap nya. It's been two fucking days since he saw his wife. When he got back to get her in that damn hotel of hers she's not there anymore even her best friend and those two bloody Americans with her when he arrived to talk to her.
"I'm not Andrex. I don't really know where Cheenna is.  In fact Lexus is asking for her too. The last time I heard about her she's with Alexa. She just told me that Cheenna's have something urgent to do that's why she's not there when I pick up Lexus. "Paliwanag nito.
"Did you called her friend Gustavo? "Iritadong tanong nya rito. May disgusto sa mukhang nalarehistro pagkabanggit ng pangalan ng lalaki.
"Gustavo doesn't know where Cheenna either but he's been sure Cheenna is with her sister Alexa. "Anitong nakakunot at salubong ang mga kilay sa noo.
"Why you're crazy looking for Cheenna, buddy? Is there something I need to know between you two? "Ang biglang seryosong tanong nito. Hinarap sya nito ng punompuno ng kaseyusuhan sa mukha.
Sinalubong nya ang nanunuot na tingin ng kaibigan bago ito sinagot. Alam nyang di sya pakakawalan nito hanggang di nito naririnig mula sa labi nya ang totoong dahilan ng pag-aala hulk nya rito.
"God! If you will put her in such shameful situation I swear I'm gonna break every damn part of your body Andrex even if you're my best friend. Nobody touch my love ones! "Galit nyang saad rito.
"I'm sorry man but I hate to say this Cheenna is mine before you have her! "Walang pakundagan nitong turan.
"What do you mean you had her first? Don't tell me... No, "anitong napailing iling ng ulo nito.
"It cannot be. You shouldn't be the fath-damn man! How could I not put two things together?! You being the fucking resemblance of Lexus eyes and hair -God! I can't believe it! You're the fucking guy who leave my sister raise her son all alone! She suffered too much did you know that?! "Galit nitong saad sabay hakbang ng ilang hakbang patungo sa kanya sabay hila sa kanyang kwelyo at marahas syang isinalya sa wall na malapit sa kanya.
"Y-you're - you're his brother? How come?"Di makapaniwalang tanong nya rito.
"Damn right man! She's my little sister and I don't give a damn if I kill you right now with my bare hands on you! You freaking bastard! You're engaged to your fucking girlfriend so stop bothering my sister and stay away from her and Lexus! "Galit nitong saad na bahagya syang itinulak ng malakas sa likod ng dingding na nasa likuran nya. Napaigik sya ng lihim ng tumama ang kanyang likod sa mabaku-bakung bahagi ng dingding. Di iyon ordinary na dingding. Gawa iyon sa rough cement na tila pinaglaruan kaya di pantay.
"I can't -"aniyang biglang nanlumo at napayuko.
"Why not? What the hell is that?! "Galit nitong muling sunggab sa kanya kulang na lamang pilipitin nito ang kanyang leeg sa galit.
"Because she's my wife now.... "Mahinang usal nya na tanging sya lang ang pakiramdam nya nakarinig noon ngunit di iyon lumampas sa matalas na pandinig ni Lawrence.
"What the hell man?! "Madagundong na bulalas nito sa kanya sabay bigwas ng kanyang mukha kung di pa dumating ang ama nito at ibang kasapi ng pamilya di maaawat ang galit ng lalaki sa kanya.
"Get him out of my sight before I could kill him! "Galit na galit nitong duro sa kanya.
"Lawrence! Why you're acting like this to your best friend?! "Galit na tanong ng kanyang ina.
"Why don't you asked your son in law?! "May sarkasmo sa tinig nitong turan sabay alis at mabilis na naglakad palayo roon.
Lahat nman ay napatuon ang mata sa kanya. Magkahalong  shock,at  disappointed ang kalimitang nabasa nya sa mukhang nakalarawan sa mga ito at alam nyang sa mga oras na iyon wala syang pagpipilian kundi magtapat sa mga ito tungkol sa kanilang dalawa no Cheenna.
