Kabanata 29

"War..." Mas kumapit ako sa braso n'ya habang papalapit kami sa mga selda.

"It's gonna be alright," He murmured, inabot n'ya ang kamay ko at marahan akong hinapit palapit sa kanyang katawan.

"I'll be here with you," He whispered.

"I know," I sighed. "I just don't know how to deal with him after what he did to me. I didn't expect it to be him, not at all."

"Hindi ko rin naisip," Aniya kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. "I thought it was the asshole Max."

"Max?" Nanlaki ang mata ko at napatitig sa kanya. He sighed and nodded, caressing my hand with his thumb.

"He's too obssessed with you, baby, I can't shrug it off." He said.

Sumandal ako ng bahagya sa braso n'ya.

"He was there when you almost got kidnapped, Win. Nung nalaman n'yang nakuha ka nung mga lalaki, he came to you that instant that when you went out the car, nandun na s'ya."

I nodded and sighed.

"Hindi ko s'ya nakikita ngayon," I said.

"I woudn't let him get closer to you," Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya at nagtaka.

"So, he's just here?"

"Hmm," He nodded at napatango lang ako at humugot ng hininga.

Nang papasukin na kami ng pulis sa visiting area ay kaagad na bumaling ang tingin ko kay Ralph na nakaupo roon.

My heart started hammering inside my chest, I saw Elisse holding his hand while staring sharply at me.

"How dare you!" Hindi pa man ako nakakalapit ay nagulat na ako nang tumayo s'ya, akmang susugurin ako pero mabilis na napunta sa harapan ko si Warrion at itinago ako sa kanyang likuran.

"Keep your hands off." Warrion said coldy, stopping her. Nang matulala si Elisse sa ginawa ay napatikhim ito at nag-iwas ng tingin.

I sighed, marahang umalis sa likuran ni War at hinarap si Elisse.

I saw her stared at me with such rage on her eyes, kita ko ang gustong pagsugod n'ya at nang akmang itatago akong muli ni War ay umiling ako at tumitig ng malamig kay Elisse.

"You wanted to hurt me, huh?" I asked coldly.

She lifted her hand, was about to slap me when I spoke.

"Go and let me file a case to you too para magkasama na kayo ng boyfriend mo sa kulungan."

She froze, nakita ko ang pagkalma n'ya pero puno pa rin ng galit ang mga mata.

"You don't have a right to file a case against Ralph! Wala s'yang ginawa sa'yo!" She exclaimed.

"Elisse," Ralph called.

"Hindi Ralph eh! This woman is pressing false charges to you!" She exclaimed. "She was too desperate to have you! Kasi ako ang pinili mo!"

Napapikit ako ng mariin sa sinabi n'ya, halos matawa.

"Ganun kababaw?" I chuckled at her.

"Yes! Hindi mo kasi matanggap na ako ang pinili ni Ralph kaysa sa'yo! You're a freak, Winter! Childish and narrow-minded bitch!"

I saw Warrion's face crumpled, halatang gustong sumabat pero pinipigil ang sarili.

"You are desperate, Almedarez! You even has the guts to let Warrion pretend to be your boyfriend!"
