Love 52

Chapter 52

Hiyang-Hiya

Sunod-sunod ang hakbang ko paatras dahil sa mabibilis na hakbang ni Lucas papalapit sa akin. I never felt so scared in my entire life when my back hit the wall and I was trapped. Lucas leaned closer to me, both of his hands were on the wall just above my head, eyes were dark and jaw was tightening.

He looked so mad that my heart pounded so fast.

"Hindi ka pa talaga nakuntentong manggulo sa mga empleyado kasi pati rito, ginugulo mo rin?" he croaked angrily.

Nanuyo ang lalamunan ko.

"You do know how important that is, right?" he smirked humorlessly. "Oh, I forgot. You didn't know a damn thing. That's why it's so easy for you to ruin everything..."

Unti-unting pinilipit ang puso ko sa sakit. Halos mabingi ako sa sinabi niya.

I can't believe it... I can't believe that I am hearing these words... this insult... straight right from him. He never offended me this way before. He never said something that made me question my worth. Ngayon pa lang.

"Why did you fucking ruin that? Do you really have to burden me so much? Fuck!"

Nanginginig ang labi ko. Ang lalamunan ay barado na. He combed his hair frustratedly. When I saw how angrier he become, pakiramdam ko bubuhos na ang luha ko.

"You don't know a fucking thing! What you only know is to be brat and spoiled, alluring boys around! Akala mo ba habang buhay may magtitiis diyan sa ugali mo?"

My lips trembled.

"You are so playful! You think you always get what you want. You are getting so hard to handle!"

Unti-unting nanghina ang mga tuhod ko. Nanginginig ang mga mata ko sa luha. I clenched my hands at my back, holding to the tiniest strength I have. I bit my lower lip. Pakiramdam ko unti-unti akong nawawalan ng lakas.

Galit talaga siya. Sobrang ginalit ko siya...

"You're so good in ruining work, ruining a mood and ruining a fucking day! Ruining everything!"

Sinapak niya ang dingding sa gilid ko. That's when I realized more how angry he was I felt like he could hurt me. I jumped so hard that I think I fell down. Nanginig ako sa sobrang kaba, guilty at nerbyos.

"Bakit mo pinakialaman 'yon?" mariin niyang tanong.

Namumuo lalo ang luha sa mga mata ko. My knees trembled.

"Answer me! Why the heck did you ruin that? Why are you so good in ruining everything?!"

Hindi ako makasagot. I never felt so afraid in my whole life.

"Why, Shaireen? I am so patient with you but what did you do? Did you purposely did it, huh? Are taking advantage to my patience with you? Shaireen, may hangganan din ang pasyensiya ko!"

I was trembling that I can't open my mouth to answer him. I only wanted to cry.

Kinagat ko ang labi ko at nanghihinang yumuko. Nasulyapan ko ang isang silver ring sa daliri niya. Nanatili ang tingin ko roon, gusto na lang ng doon tumingin kaysa sa galit niyang mukha na dinudurog ako nang husto.

"Leave," he demanded.

I can't move my feet. I don't know why. Gusto kong humagulhol pero hindi tama. Mas lalo lang siyang magagalit.

I wanted to beg for another seconds. Just a few seconds. I really can't... feel my feet.

"I said leave!"
