Heartbeat of the Cold Heartbreaker

VIII

Trina's POV

Wait a minute.

  Why am I afraid of him? It's not his business anyway.

"On the second thought, why would I bother? It's not like I am a young child that needs to be taken care of...." Saad ko sa kanya

"That attitude of yours reminds me of a kid. No. You're more of an infant compares to a kid." Saad nito sa akin.

"Well. Sorry for my attitude..." Saad ko at saka matalas na tumingin sa kanya "...not. I am who I am." Dagdag kong saad

Listen. Don't bother to change just to satisfy someone. Love yourself. If they don't like you for who you are then fvck them. Don't give a sh!t about them.

"Too much can kill. No one has a patience that can actually endure your stubborness longer than me." Saad nito sa akin

"Well. Thanks for the patience. Don't really need it." Saad ko.

Hinawakan niya ang tungki ng ilong niya. Tumayo siya at naglakad palapit sa akin. I walks back just to avoid him until I feel the door.

Damn!

I closed my eyes when he's near at me then heard a click.

I slowly opened my eyes just to find out how much closer our faces are.

He smirked and lean closer to me.

"Next time. Don't go without me." He whispered atsaka siya lumayo sa akin
at saka siya naglakad palayo.

Leaving me in shock.

"Ah..." He turns around and looked at me "... Dave called. He told me that Collin and the kids wants to see you soon...." He said and walks away.

How the heck did he--? Did he just have Dave's number?

"How did he---? Ah... whatever..." Saad  ko sa sarili ko atsaka ako pumunta sa kusina para kumuha ng baso at uminom ng chocolate milk.

Bumalik ako sa kwarto ko. But...yeah. Maybe, namin. Kwarto namin.

THANKFULLY, nakatulog ako.  I need to go to the hospital.  Mabilis akong sumakay sa sasakyan ko nang may tumawag sa cellphone ko.

"Hello.." tanong ko sa tumawag habang hinahanda na ang sasakyan ko para umalis.

"You didn't told me you're already here..."

Mabilis kong naapakan ang preno dahil sa gulat na siyang dahilan ng pagtama ng noo ko sa dashboard ng sasakyan ko.

Harry....

"Why? It's no big deal when I am here though. You're living your life on your own." Saad ko sa kanya

That's true though. I mean, Harry's been acting like my older brother ever since he rejected me. Yes. I did have a feelings with Harry before that is why I agreed with Travis. 

No one knows about it except the two of us and now he treats me like I am his younger sibling.

I already moved on though. Maybe, what I felt for him is just a petty crush that's all.

"I am. But as your brother, I should be the one who should know it first."

"Uh...I am not Katrina."

"You know what I mean..."

Katrina Ventura, Travis's sister turns out to be adopted and the real parent is Mr. DeSilva. She's the step-sister of Harry since she's Mr.DeSilva's daughter in his teenage years.

In short,maagang nakabuntis si Mr. DeSilva.

And again. Not my business.

"I need to go to the hospital. Work. Call you later. Bye." Saad ko atsaka ko tinapos ang tawag.

"WHERE are you going?" I asked as soon as I saw Ibarra, packing his own clothes.

"Home." He answered

"Do you even have one?" I asked. It is meant to be a joke but...seems like he took it seriously.

"Honestly. Don't have one." Saad niya sa akin. Agad naman akong na-guilty.

Okay.

"Where are your parents?" I asked. No one actually visits him and that's the truth.

"Dead. Car Accident." Tipid na sagot niya

"Oh..." Saad ko na lang.

"Then...what about your expenses..?" I asked

"You're quite a talker, are you?" Saad niya.

"I am." Saad ko..."so, how?" Balik kong tanong sa kanya

"Someone provides all the things I need to live. In fact, he already paid my expenses here." Saad niya sa akin.

"Ahh..." Saad ko at nanahimik na lang.

I looked at my watch. It's time for me to go back to my office. Need something to do.

Aalis na sana ako ng pigilan ako ni Ibarra.

"The things I gave to you..." Saad nito kaya napaharap ako sa kanya.

"What about it?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Take care of it..."Saad nito. Naguguluhan akong tumango sa kanya.

Why is it important anyway?

After that talk of ours,he left immediately. Without actually saying anything to me.

Okay. Seems like he's eager to go.  And for those days that I've been treating him, I don't even know why is he here.

"You don't know?" Tanong sa akin ni Dave.

Sinabi ko sa kanya ang tungkol kay Ibarra. Pinanliitan ko siya ng mata.

"Am I going to ask you if I already know?" Saad ko sa kanya.

"He's been into a fight. A gang fight." Saad nito sa akin.

So my first impression is correct,he's a gangster.

"Why is it some information about him is hidden?" I asked him.

Bago ako pumunta dito, dumaan muna ako sa information area. I asked them about Ibarra but they told me it's controversial. And I am his doctor.

"The director told so..." Saad nito sa akin

"And you know it because..?" Saad ko ngunit ngumisi lang siya.

I knew it.

He hacked Ibarra's file. Now, that I think about it...

"Do you know his parents?" I asked

"I know. Why?" Saad niya sa akin.

"Is it really because of a car accident? The reason of their death,I mean." Tanong ko sa kanya in pure curiosity.

"Curiosity kills the cat." Saad niya sa akin

"And cat has nine lives." Dagdag ko sa kanya.

He chuckles.

"Right. Captain will protect you in any ways." Saad nito sa akin.

"Captain..?" Tanong ko sa kanya

"Oh...you didn't know?" Saad niya

I glared at him in response.

"He's a Captain in your father's security agency. He's working for him. Why?" Saad nito sa akin.

I.am.not.surprise.at.all.

So that's why they arrange a marriage between me and Travis.

Seriously.!
