Heart 2: Precious Heart

CHAPTER 47

-*-

ZARIOUS' POV

"WHAT?!!" they exclaimed in chorus after I storytell what just happened.

Ziria's with her round animated eyes, Mom went stunned, Lola's mouth hanged open while Dad face became crumpled.

Maging sina Dad ay napatakbo rito mula sa office nila after I told them na nahanap ko na si Deilan. They're worried... Ziria was blaming herself and she was freaking anxious.

I run my palms through my face with frustration at itinuon ang siko ko sa mesa...

Ang magkapatid lang ang hindi nakakaalam ng katotohanan...

Walang alam si Deilan sa nangyari 'cause he was just sleeping all the time. Pinatulog siya ng mga tauhan ni Jaden saka itinago. That fucking Jaden even told me that she did that to attract me at sabihin sa akin kung ano ang alas niyang dala against me.

Kahit no'ng nakuha ko na si Deilan sa van na dala ni Jaden, he's still sleeping. I know, hindi siya makakapagsumbong sa ate niya. He's unconscious!

Precious is with Deilan in their room. Hinayaan muna namin silang dalawa mapag-isa for them to talk.

It's lunch and I just told them what the freak just happened. From my past with Jaden, up to the scandal that Jaden's holding that she's using to blackmail me... but I did not told them the sensitive part.

I am not always open to my family but... hindi ko na alam ang gagawin. I need someone, I need them... it's driving me freaking crazy! Anytime, I'll lost my sanity here! Fuck, Jaden! Fuck her! Fuck her!

"Rubie needs to know about this---" Ziria's about to walk but I just grabbed her wrist that made her stop. "What?"

"H-Hindi nga puwede! Can't you understand?! Can't you understand, Ziria?! Kakalat 'yong scandal..." I let myself cry.

"Bakit? Hindi ba puwedeng magpanggap na lang tayo na hindi alam ni Precious? Hindi ba puwedeng magpanggap na lang tayo na break na kayo ni Precious? Are you even thinking, Kuya?!" Ziria went frustrated to me.

I know, she's attached with sugarplum... but...

"H-Hindi puwede." My voice cracked even it's on its lowest octave. "We need to be careful. Paano kapag natunugan ni Jaden? S-Sa isang iglap lang kaya niyang s-sirain ang dignidad ni Precious... hindi ko hahayaang mangyari 'yon." My words made Ziria sit back to her chair.

"What's your plan? Just go on with your deal and break up with Precious? Sasaktan mo si Precious? Papaiyakin mo na naman siya?" Napatungo ako sa sinabi ni Mom at napatango. "Gano'n na lang kadali 'yon para sa 'yo?"

"I a-actually don't want to. I-I wanna stay with her forever... g-gusto ko na siyang ikulong sa puso ko a-at selyuhan... kung puwede ko nga lang siyang pakasalan ngayon ay gagawin ko na... p-pero, Mom... I don't know what the freak to do!" Nanatili akong nakatungo.

"Ayan naman kasi!" singit ni Ziria but I didn't lift my head. "Unang chapter pa lang nitong story mo, sinabi ko na sa 'yong tigil-tigilan mo na pagiging fuckboy mo!" Dinutdot niya ang sentido ko. "Oh ngayon... look what happened! Karma just slapped you back! How's the pain, damulag? Masakit ba?"

"Come on, Ziria. I know, everything was my fault! Every little thing! Pero hindi ko kailangan ng paninisi... can you just h-help me?" My breathing becomes short. "Please..."

"What's up, mga hangal?" Lolo's voice echoed inside the dining room.

Napalingon kami sa lahat sa kaniya. We went stunned pero dire-diretso lang siyang umupo sa isang bakante upuan sa tabi ni Mom with a wide smile plastered on his face.
