Cutting Her Horn [On-Going]

Chapter 8- Heaven's Hug

Why Jasper?

Why did you to this to me?

I admit that I am hurt even though we are not yet "super" attached to each other. We are not yet labeled as couple but we have a relationship, I guess.

Ito na iyong kinakatakutan ko e. Iyong madali ka lang magbigay ng tiwala sa tao and gano'n din kadali para sirain nila. That's why I don't give in easily to people around me. Kaya si Jane lang ang masasabi kong close friend. Iyong iba is acquaintance siguro. But I don't know why pagdating kay Jasper ay ang tanga ko!

We just met only last month. We only exchange convos and we don't have any romantic date- ito na sana pero naudlot na naman for the second time. He doesn't even approach me in our room like a lady who was being courted thou he is not yet courting me.

I deserve the best!

I tried to call him to catch him in the act.

My hands are shaking when I dialled his number to call him. I had a deep sigh when I pressed call.

This is it! Give me a God damn reason why did you do this to me you idiot!!

Habang nasa tenga ko ang aking iPhone ay nakatutok naman ang mga mata ko sa dalawang naglalandian malapit sa akin just enough na hindi nila na mapansin.

"Hello Van. Goodmorning. Napatawag ka?"

"Where are you?", diretso kong tanong. Walang atubili at walang pag-aalinlangan.

"Home. Why?"

How great! I love seing people lie! Home? She might be, is her home- baka nga naka-home-run na!

"Ow. In case you forgot, you initiated a date at the mall at 9 o'clock. I just wanna remind you"

"Ow. I'm sorry. I almost forgot. By the way, I'm on the way there. Should I pick you up?"

Mapag-panggap.

Lies. Lies. Lies.

Fuck you liars!!

"No thanks. I'm on my way there. Do you want me to pick you up, Jasper?", I said sarcastically.

"Oh. As I said, I'm near. No need to bother. I'm entering the mall."

Pupuntahan kita gago ka!

Mataray akong lumakad papalapit sa kaniya-sa kanila. The surrounding is a bit noisy but I can hear the sound of my heels!

When I'm near nagulat ako when I look intently at the girl! I know her!

Kilalang kilala ko siya. She is the least person na pag-iisipan kong ta-traydor sa akin. How dare she ruin my date. All this time! I've been living in a hell where there is an angel who is not appropriate to be with me! Inshort, she should not be in my place!

Gumastos pa'ko para sa kanya how dare her! The
limited edition Gucci Black Round Sunglasses is expensive enough to give to a very trusted person yet she destroyed my effing trust!

Yes she is Jane- the not Virgin! Ahas ka. Walang hiya!

What have I done to be here? Kanina tanggap ko pang nakita ko si Jasper na may kahalikang iba pero masakit noong nalaman kong ang bestfriend ko mismo ang umahas sa'kin!

My eyes are about to shed tears but inunahan ko na ito sa pamamagitan ng pagpunas. As much as possible I don't want to act weak. I don't want to show how fragile I am.

Binilisan ko ang paglakad papalapit sa dalawang mas masahol pa sa demonyo!

" Hi Jasper. Nandito ka na pala. Mukhang ang bilis mo namang nakarating sa third floor ng mall?" , Painosente kong tanong.

He lend his eyes on me and he was shocked. Are you okay Jasper? You're a bastard!

He cleared his throat at nagsalita na.

"U-uh . Ka-kanina p-pa ako nandito. I-i just don't want you to t-think and f-feel guilty na pinaghihintay mo a-ako." Stuttering huh? You're not that obvious man! You're a bad liar!

"Oh. Hi there my bitch bestfriend!"

"Hi sis. Nagkita kasi kami ni Jasper and he said na magkikita kayo. I gave him a company while waiting for you. By the way, una na ako. I have a date pa eh!", dali-dali siyang umalis pero hinablot ko ang kamay niya.

"Not so fast ugly whore!"

Pak!

Sinampal ko siya. It was a amazing.

"What was that fo--"

Pak! Pak!

"Mag-asawang sampal para sa ahas na uhaw sa egg!", Pagpuputol ko sa sasabihin niya!

"At ikaw. Huling-huli ka na nga sa akto, magsisinungaling ka pa! Tanginamo gago ka! Anong akala mo sa'min, dual sim ha! At kami pang magkaibigan! How dare you make me feel unwanted, unliked! You're the most disgusting guy I've ever met! Don't you ever show your hideous face on me!

"I'm sor-"

"I'm sick of your sorries Jasper! Sorries are for unwanted actions not a ticket for you to repeat doing dumb things!"

When I felt that I am about to cry, sinampal ko siya at tumalikod na ako. Para akong pinagbagsakan ng langit at lupa!

So this is the feeling of heartbroken? Ganito pala. Alam ko na kung bakit may nagpapakamatay dahil iniwan.

I ran as fast as I could until I bumped into a tall man. I don't know what to do. I don't have the strength to think because my despondence overpowered my mind to be able to think properly.

I hugged him.

He is just in the right place, in the right time.

We may not be close but I felt the eager to feel his warmth.

"Are you okay,Lu?"

"Please don't talk Louis. Just drive me everywhere you want. Look, I'm heartbroken. I want to cool down, please. Just now, be kind to me" , pagmamakaawa ko.

Without uttering words ay inalalayan niya ako papuntang parking lot at diretso sa kaniyang motor. He gave me a helmet. Hindi na ako nagrereklamo. Hindi ko na sinabing natatakot ako sa motor.

"Kapit ka sa'kin, Lu."

I hugged him while he is driving.

I feel safe with him.

For the first time, I feel I'm in heaven.
