Love in Vengeance

10

Nandito kami ni Mav sa kanilang hardin, sobrang init, buti nalang may silong. Umupo kami sa may bench. He looked at me with a worried look. "Are you okay?"

"Oo naman." I replied.

"I know what really is happening. Sylvia and Inggrid are talking about you and accusing you."

I rolled my eyes. Alam mo naman pala e bakit wala kang aksiyon!

"Yes but ... I won't stoop down their level. Nainis lang talaga ako kanina!" I said and He looked at me na parang nang aasar. What?! May nasabi ba akong mali?

"Bakit? Ano bang tingin mo sa sarili mo?" Sarcastic niyang sabi.

Duh. Fyi lang ha. I have powers, power to manipulate someone by my money! Pwede ko ngang pahirapan yung dalawang 'yon by ruining their lives! Pero I don't do that.

And... Akala ko ba friends na kami tapos babarahin niya ako? Pinag tanggol tanggol niya pa ako kanina! Sabagay, isa lang naman akong katulong sa paningin niya!

"Im just kidding... I know you're better than them." He said sincerely and smile. His smile is real, it's genuine. "Starting from this day, I'll be your King... A king that'll protects her queen... No one can ever hurt you... Always remember that...No one."

Sunday came, it was my day off. Late akong nagising I felt so exhausted kahapon! Pagbangon ko nakita ko si Mav nakaupo sa gilid ng kama ko.

"Ahhhhh." I shouted. "Anong ginagawa mo dito sa kwarto ko?!" Bigla tuloy akong na conscious sa mukha ko. Agad kong chineck yung gilid ng lips ko kung may laway. And I saw him smirk.

"Wake up sleepyhead. And Fyi, this is my house so may karapatan akong pumunta dito sa loob ng kwarto mo." Masungit niyang sabi.

"Ugh. Kahit na! Pano pag wala akong damit na natulog, pano kung naka hubad ako." Hysterical kong sabi at agad umalis sa kama, tsaka dumiretso sa banyo. Agad akong naghilamos at nagmumog.

"But you have clothes isn't it? And Don't be so conscious on your face. Kahit kakagising mo lang ang ganda mo parin." He said and wink. Bigla naman nag init yung mukha ko.

I rolled my eyes at him masyadong bolero! "Ugh! Bat ka ba andito? Kung may binabalak kang masama. Binabalaan na kita, nag aral ako ng self defense dati."

"Andito ako para iremind sayo na lalabas tayo." Dun ko lang napansin na nakabihis na pala siya he wears a button down polo and a khaki shorts. "Go take a bath, malalate tayo sa date natin." Oo pala ngayon kami lalabas! Agad akong dumiretso sa closet tsaka kumuha ng damit at dumiretso sa banyo. My hands are still trembling habang inaayos yung mga damit ko. I still remember what he said.

"Date natin..."

"Date natin..."

"Date natin..."

Nagpaulit ulit ito sa ulo ko. Ugh. I just shook my head and have a fast bath. After kong maligo agad kong driny ang buhok ko tsaka nagbihis. I just wear a simple white shirt and a highwaist jeans.

Pagkalabas ko ng banyo nakita ko siya na prenteng naka upo sa kama ko. Aba! Wala ba siyang balak umalis. He smirked when he saw me but I just rolled my eyes at him. I just put a little tint in my cheeks and lips tsaka pabango.

"Lets go?" He said and nauna nang lumabas. I grab my bag and my cap and followed him. Bigla naman kaming napatigil nang makita kami ni Gaux. "Oh where will you go?"

"U-uh hindi kami magkasama huh. Nagkasabay lang." Agad kong depensa and She chuckled.

Hindi pinansin ni Mav ang kapatid at nagdirediretsong lumabas. Kaya dali dali akong nagpaalam kay Gaux at sumunod kay Mav. Dumiretso kami sa porche niyang kotse. Galante! He opened the shotgun seat for me. Gentlemen huh? Tsaka naman siya dumiretso sa driver's seat. He started the engine.

Nakatingin lang ako sa bintana, ang tahimik! Gusto kong magpa music. Kinalikot ko yung audio system niya. I secretly connect my phone to his car tsaka nagpa tugtog. Pinatugtog ko yung 'beautiful scars' by maximillian.

"Broken all the pieces I've been shaping lately
Focused on the things that didn't make no sense.

Guess that growing up was never meant to be easy
Yeah, I got used to doing everything sideways."

"You know how to connect your phone?" He asked curiously.

Duh, porket ba taga probinsya ignorante na?

"Uh oo eh... tinuro sakin dati,hehe." I laughed awkwardly.

"Ohh you're great huh! You looked so formal, para ka talagang mayaman. Tsaka noong lumabas tayo nila gaux, parang sanay na sanay ka na sa starbucks. I'm very curious..." Bigla naman akong kinabahan, biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. "Kung hindi ko talaga nireview papers mo iisipin kong mayaman ka." I sighed for relief. Buti nalang magaling gumawa ng pekeng papeless si Chyze.

Hindi ko siya inimik at sinabayan nalang ang music.

"Oh, but what is lost ain't gone
No, you can't just let go
'Cause it's a part of you that will make you strong
Embrace your flaws...

I'm not gonna fight back what I've become
Yeah, I've got bruises where I came from
But I wouldn't change if I could restart
I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I've been going way too hard on myself
Guess that it's the reason that I'm feeling like hell
But I wouldn't change if I could restart
I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I'm not gonna fight back what I've become
Yeah, I've got bruises where I came from
But I wouldn't change if I could restart
I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars
I've been going way too hard on myself
Guess that it's the reason that I'm feeling like hell.

But I wouldn't change if I could restart
I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars
Hide these beautiful scars
Hide these beautiful scars.

I'm not gonna fight back what I've become
Yeah, I've got bruises where I came from
But I wouldn't change if I could restart
I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I've been going way too hard on myself

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

Hide these
I ain't gonna hide these...
Hide these
Hide these beautiful scars..."

"Your voice is so lovely...
And it is now my favorite sound."
