Marked By The Beast (COMPLETED)

Chapter 22

                  THE next morning I tried to cover-up my dark circles using the makeup that is inside the bag that Zyver found in my car when I got in an accident. I looked at my phone that is also with it. I took a deep breath and shook my head, I need to go. Habang nag-tatagal ang pag-ststay ko dito ay mas lalalim ang nafefeel ko for Zyver.

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at nakita ko si Zyver na nanonood ng TV. He got up when he saw me. "Bakit hindi ka lumabas buong mag-hapon ng kwarto mo?" He worriedly said.

"I wasn't feeling well." I lazily said.

"Kumain kana."

I looked at him straight into his eyes. "Pwede ba tayong pumunta sa may signal? I want to contact my family atleast para malaman nilang safe ako." I said.

"Okay, if that's what you want. Pagka-tapos mo kumain ay aalis tayo."He said then he sat on the sofa again.

I ate the food that Zyver prepared at mabilis din kaming umalis. We're now in Juan Ariel's grocery store, there's signal daw kasi here. Zyver went out of the car and talked to Juan. Sunod-sunod ang pag-pasok ng messages when I turned on my phone. My family has been texting me nonstop and my bestfriend, June.

I opened Yesenia's message.

Yesenia: Where are you Liss Aquino? Stop making us worry and contact us!

I chuckled when I read her nickname for me then I called her. Mabilis naman nitong sinagot, I told her what happened to me. Ang sabi naman nya ay susunduin nya ako tomorrow morning. I ended the call and took a deep breath. Am I ready to leave Zyver? Makikita ko pa ba syang muli kung aalis na ako bukas?

Nilapitan ko si Zyver na tahimik na nakaupo sa loob ng tindahan. Mabilis naman itong tumayo.

"Tapos kana?" He asked.

I nodded my head.

"Okay, let's go home." Sabi nya. Tumagos ito sakin, it was just a simple sentence pero ang bigat ng nilalaman for me. He told me that he wants us to go home, na bahay ko rin iyon.

Tahimik kaming umuwi sa bahay. Nang maka-pasok na kami sa door ay napag-desisyonan ko nang sabihin kung ano talaga ang pakay ko kanina. Hinila ko ang kamay nito.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" He asked.

"Uuwi na ako bukas." I almost whispered that, tila nawalan ako ng lakas.

"Ano?" Sabi nya at tinaas nya ang baba ko para matignan sa mata.

"Uuwi na ako." Ulit ko. Tumingin akong muli sa baba, sa mga paa namin.

"Iiwan mo ako?" He asked. Hindi ako naka-sagot.

Lumayo sya sakin at tumalikod. "Sige umalis kana."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Ano? Ganun na lang?"

"Plano mo na diba, bago mo pa sabihin sakin. Wala naman sakin ang desisyon."

"Ver, sorry na. I don't want to leave you like this." hinila ko ang damit nya.

"Maayos o hindi, iiwan mo pa rin ako. Bakit hindi mo na lang gawin ngayon?"

"Please." I begged him, I don't want to leave na we're not okay.

"Halika na, ihahatid na kita." humarap sya sakin at hinawakan ang pulso ko.

"What?! No!" pilit kong tinatanggal ang pag-kakahawak nya.

"Why are you like this?! Bakit kaba nagagalit?!" I asked.

Galit nya akong tinignan sa mata at dinikit sa pinto. "PAANONG HINDI EH IIWAN MO KO?!" I was stunned when I saw tears started to form in his eyes.

Zyver is crying, I never thought that I will ever see him cry. My heart melted, he's a tough man physically but his heart is actually fragile.

Naka-tingala sya and tears are streaming down his cheeks. "Kahit sinabi kong hindi dapat kita mahalin, na hindi na ako uulit. I thought that falling inlove once again would he too hard but you made it so easy. I didn't mean to fall for you, hindi ko sinasadya. If you're planning to leave, sige ihahatid na kita. I know from the start that no one would dare to love me with my disgusting face. Sino ba naman ako diba? Maganda ka, panget ako. I'm not someone that you can be proud of. I don-"

I interrupted what he was about to say. "Mahal mo ko?" I asked.

Tumungo ito para matignan ako sa mata. "Oo, mahal kita." With that I put my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. I pressed my lips against him and whispered "Mahal din kita."

He put his arms around my waist and pulled me up, he wrapped my legs on his waist while he's giving me wet kisses. I moaned when he inserted his tongue in my mouth. I don't know how to kiss that's why I just followed the rhythm of his lips and tongue. I mimicked every moved that he did with his sensual lips.

He walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, I'm now sitting on his lap. I gasped for air when he released my lips, pinag-dikit nya ang forehead namin. He's smiling.

"Mahal na mahal kita Lissandra, higit pa sa buhay ko." He said then he claimed my lips once again.
