Stripped (Moonsun AU) (Stripped Series #1) [UNDER EDITORIAL]

Chapter 68

Closure?

Third POV

After the session earlier, the last session to be exact. Agad na tumungo ang dalawa sa isang fancy restaurant na matatagpuan sa may manila. Throughout the trip ay walang umimik at ni isa sakanila ay walang nagsalita.

Tanging tahimikan lamang ang nagmagitan sa dalawa.

"So, congratulations. Let's celebrate?" sarcastic na pagkakasabi ni Yongsun na nagpabasag ng katahimikan.

Kasalukuyang nakaupo ang dalawa na magkaharap sa isa't isa habang hinihintay ang mga pagkaing inorder ni Yongsun sa menu.

"What do you mean? Walang dapat icelebrate." Byul was just seriously looking at her. Kahit normal ang ekspresyon ng mukha ay nalulungkot ito para kay Yongsun.

The psychologist said that Byul is finally recovered. Byul didn't rely on medicine, na gamot pampakalma. Because the psychologist didn't want to. At ayaw niyang masanay si Byul sa gamot. Although it may seems that her case is a severe one. The result is like a miracle. As long as Byul has finally stopped the desire of hurting Yongsun physically, then the psychologist could conclude that they don't need another session anymore.

"Bakit, Byul? Hindi ka ba masaya na magaling ka na?" Yongsun said straight. Still sarcastically.

But instead of answering her questions, Byul changed the topic. "Anong meron sainyo ni Jinyoung?" suddenly her face became dark. Pero hindi ito katulad noong nagsusuffer pa siya sa illness.

"Bakit gusto mong malaman? Ni hindi ko nga tinanong kung nagpropose ka na kay Ryujin, diba?" Yongsun said with eyebrow raising.

At inaamin ni Byul na nagulat siya sa sinabi ni Yongsun. "Propose? I didn't even bought her a ring." Byul answered fast.

Magsasalita pa sana ito nang bigla namang sumabat si Yongsun. "Byul, stop. Stop it. Enough with the excuses. You want to be with Ryujin. As simple as that. Napatunayan mo na yon sa desisyong ginawa mo. Hindi mo na kailangan pang magsinungaling pa para lang gumaan ang loob ko." Yongsun answered back, as fast as she could.

She's tired of hearing those lame excuses, tired of making her believe that she loved her more than Ryujin. Tired of holding onto that hope.

For her, hindi na niya alam kung ano pa ang totoo.

"Yongsun, gusto mo bang malaman kung bakit hindi ko magawang iwan si Ryujin?" Byul directly asked.

And before the conversation goes on, bigla namang lumapit ang isang waitress sakanila, to prepare the meal.

"Go on. Sabihin mo sakin yung dahilan. I want to hear it." Yongsun replied looking directly at her eyes. Pero puno parin ito ng pagiging sarcastic.

After the waitress had finished preparing it, umalis naman ito agad. And the two didn't even bother looking at the delicious foods.

"Kasi ayokong magsisi sa huli." maikling reply ni Byul sakanya.

"Pero hindi ka magsisisi pag nawala ako?" mabilis na sagot ni Yongsun.

Sabay na natigilan ang dalawa, habang nakatitig parin sa isa't isa.

The possibilities of them being together are slowly fading.

"Yongsun, hindi mo kasi ako naiintindihan. The moment na pag sinimulan kong pakawalan si Ryujin, feeling ko unti unti naring mawawala yung kalahating parte ng buhay ko. Feeling ko magiging isang asong ulol nalang ako na walang mauuwian o hindi malaman kung saan uuwi kasi inabando na ko ng mga amo ko. Nakilala ko si Ryujin when I was trying to cope with my past experiences. Siya yung taong nandyan to help me forget everything. Yung love and attention na gustong gusto kong hingiin sa mga magulang ko? Siya yung nagpuna 'non. In those span of two years--" natigilan naman si Byul nang biglang ulitin ni Yongsun ang sinabi niya.
