Prank Gone Wrong (Contract Series #1) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

I was left there with my mouth still in agape. Ilang minuto akong nanatili sa loob to digest what I'd heard from Amethyst and when I finally had the courage to move, lumabas ako ng wash room. I can't understand myself because I was walking all throughout. I wasn't even thinking normally. I was inside the taxi para umuwi na sa apartment pero hindi parin mawala sa isip ko yung sinabi ni Amethyst.

I know I must be happy because Mark wasn't lie to me. When he say that there is an emergency, hindi ako naniwala because I thought he's just reason out. I thought he's lying. Pero totoo yung sinasabi niya. He can't directly tell me what happen because he's aware that I might get jealous because Amethyst was involve.

I don't believe in him. I push him away without even listening to his explanations. Ang tanga tanga ko. I became selfish and one sided. I just care about myself, to the pain I was feeling when he doesn't go to our dinner date. Without even realizing that he was in pain too.

Another bunch of thoughts were disturbing me. Amethyst left because she was ill. She doesn't want to left Mark intentionally. Paano kung malaman ni Mark na hindi siya ginustong iwan ni Amethyst? Paano kung malaman niya yung kondisyon ni Amethyst and decide to win her back and to be with her again? Hindi ko kayang tanggapin 'yon at kailanman hindi ko matatanggap.

I know that my relationship with Mark was too complicated. Kahit walang kasiguraduhan. Kahit hindi ko alam kung ano ba talagang meron kami. Kung may matatawag ba kong akin. But I will always take the risk of loving him. He's always worth of all the risk.

Bumaba ako ng taxi ng tumapat sa apartment. Just like what I expected they weren't here. Mag-isa na naman ako. Baka dumating yung araw na masanay na lang ako sa pagiging mag-isa. To do things independently. I proceed to my room. Nagkulong lang ako gaya ng palagi kong ginagawa. I already ate on a fast food restaurant and I'm not on my mood to eat dahil sa mga nalaman ko.

I get my pillow to cover on my ear because I heard a small voices. My conscience keeps on bothering me because of what I've said to Mark. Words are too powerful. I know I can't take it. The damage has been done. He's already wounded and even if I will do things to heal it, the scars will be left.

The next day was too rough with me. Maaga akong pumasok sa school because I received a text message from my groupmates that we need to prepare all the things that needed for all the preparation for upcoming Intramurals. Nalalapit na yung intrams kaya abalang abala na yung buong university sa pagprepare ng mga materials and equipment including basketball, nets, poles, etc. I haven't eat my breakfast dahil nagmamadali ako. Hindi naman talaga ako madalas kumain. I often starve myself than to eat. Kaya siguro madalas akong magkasakit and I totally loose my weight. Dagdag pa yung kabilaang stress from school and personal matters.

I tried to forget what Amethyst told me but the more I tried to avoid it, the more it was stuck on my head.

Hindi ko alam kung nananadya ba yung sitwasyon ko ngayon dahil una, kailangan kong taguan si Eris. Pero mukhang malabo dahil iisang school lang kami napasok. Pangalawa, hindi parin kami ayos nila Aileen at Chelsea at mukhang magtatagal pa bago kami bumalik sa dati at panghuli, I do everything not to see Mark. After all of what I've done to push him away.  Hindi na kaya ng konsensya ko. Ang kapal naman ng mukha ko kung magpapakita pa ko sa kanya matapos ng mga masasakit na sinabi ko.

"Rio?" My thoughts were cut when Andrea (my classmate) called my name. I eventually looked at her place.

"Hmm?"

"Tayo yung nakaassigned sa paggawa at pagkabit ng bandiritas while others are on the tents." I just nodded at her while she's explaining other things that we should do. We don't have regular class for today dahil sa preparation para sa Intrams.
