Pete’s POV
I can't hear anything; the buzzing sound came so abrupt that it had caught me off guard. The phone which has been ringing just a few moments ago was now meters away from me.
Broken.
“Ae…?!”,I blurted out his name looking at him like I don’t know him.
“Why-why…?”, this are the only words which I wanted to asked him.
Why…?
“Don’t…”, I heard him muttered.
Don’t…what…I don’t understand at all.
“Don’t what…Ae?”, suddenly I want to get angry at him. Why is he acting this way.
Really now Pete…
Really now
I can hear myself say…
“Just don’t…”, I can feel frustration bubbling inside of me.
“Just tell me why are you like this…?”, I want to yell at him, this is the very first time I want to raise my on someone.
“I’ll just buy you a new one ne…”, is he trying to patronize a child. This is too tiring. I just wanna lie on my bed and sleep. And just forget about everything, especially.
Then I suddenly remembered Daili.
Daili!
Realizing this I gazed at the direction where my phone is currently lying.
“No…Ae…I…I can buy my own…” I told him, then I walked towards it to pick it up, thinking on how talk to Daili.
I had only taken two steps when my arm was suddenly grabbed by Ae. It hurts, how he tightly holds me like this, I look at him and whispered,” Ae…Please let go…”.
“No…”, he interjected.
“Please…”
“No…”
“Jus-“, I tried to reasoned out with him. Yet.
“I said NO!” I heard him shouted. And something broke inside of me.
“Why…?!”, I raised my voice.
Why!
Why!
Why!
“It’s because…”
“Because what Ae…?”, I stared at him straight in the eyes, I guess this is the very first time I did so.
“Because of that girl”, I heard him say.
Girl…
Girl…
Girl…?
Does he mean…
“Girl…you mean…Daili…”,I asked him unsure and confused.
“Stop saying her name like that…”, the way he said that brought me a sudden realization.
Stop it…
“Like what…?”, suddenly its feels like I’m not the one talking.
“Like you…”, the frustration in his voice cannot be hidden.
Stop it…
Don’t…
Ask…
“Like…?”, I dumbly mimic his words.
No…
“Like she’s the only one in your eyes…”
She really is…
“Like you like her…”
I really like her…
“Like you love her…!”
I…
Do…
That’s why
Ae…
Ae…
Ae…
“Ae!?”,I yelled.
“Isn’t it true”
“Ae stop this…you don’t have the right”.
“I’m right aint I”, he taunted.
What do you know…
Ae…
“What do you know…” I muttered.
“What do I know…right…”, I saw him reach out his hands to touch me and yet all I could feel is coldness.
I’m scared…
“Ae please I don’t wanna fight not right now…Let’s just talk when you are calm ok na”. I tired reasoning out to him like this.
I’m really am a coward…
“No.” I heard the finality in his voice.
Ae…
You...
Don't be like this...
Please...
I tightly close my eyes…I don’t want to hear it.
“I LOVE YOU DAMMIT!”
I felt my self-shivered…
“ I love you that my heart feels that it might gonna burst out!”
“I love you that I want to say it for a million times!
“Just so I can heart it…”
Just so I can lessen this feeling…”
“It frustrates me…that I’m the only one that feels this way…”
“You led me on…”
I stared at him.
“I was blinded by you…”
“No...”, the exasperation in his voice created a ripple in my heart.
Then he laughs.
“No…”
“No…”
“Ai Pete…”
“Can’t I love you…?”
“Ae…”I call out his name.
His name which suddenly became so unfamiliar.
“Ai Pete…”, I don’t know if it just my imagination or the illusion that the dimming glow of the lamp post, that his eyes kinda remind me of that time at the comfort room of their restaurant.
His eyes...
Which gives this impression...
The eyes of how one looks at his prey…
I avert my gazed.
I still can’t stand it.
Those eyes…
That screams...
I WANT YOU!
“Ai Pete…”, he called y name again with such softness it hurts.
“Khuno!... there you are I have been trying to call you!”.
Daili...!
Then all hell broke loose…
