Treacherous Battle (Salvaje Caballero Series 2)

Quince

Kazee's POV

"Where are you going?" I tailed Nathan.

Wearing only my nighties, I even failed to wear slippers and just followed Nathan up to his car.

The soft sands didn't hurt my feet at all, but my heart is breaking so fucking much.

"I just have to go somewhere, Kaz." Sagot ni Nathan at akmang bubuksan ang kotse nang pinigilan ko.

"Where is that exactly?" I probed. Nagbabadya na ang luha ko dahil hindi niya ako matignan sa mata.

"Just...somewhere. I have go. Lock the doors. I love you." He kissed my temple before he entered his car.

I only watched him disappeared from my sight. Hindi ko na napigilan ang sariling umiyak.

Naulit ang pangyayaring iyon. Paulit ulit na lang. And I...just let him do things on his own.

I waited so long for his explanation but it never came. I anticipated for so long. I wanted to know his side.

But you know what hurts the most? Pretending not to know anything. Pretending to be okay in front of him.

I just can't believe it. How? How can he lie so effortlessly?

Alam ko. Alam kong si Annie ang palagi niyang pinupuntahan. Pero sa akin naman siya umuuwi diba? With that thought, I was able to hold up for a long time. I was able to comfort myself.

Ang sakit isipin na ang pinanghahawakan ko lang sa kanya ay ang pagmamahal niya.

Days spent without him, and I felt so fucking empty. I wanted to get mad! I wanted to fight him. But I didn't.

Kasi malaki ang tiwala ko sa kanya at mas malaki ang pagmamahal ko sa kanya.

Kasama ko siya pero pakiramdam ko ang layo niya. Kasama ko siya pero parang hindi ko na siya kilala.

I never thought waiting could hurt me this much. He's with her, killing me every single fucking second... And he doesn't have single idea that I know what he was up to. And he doesn't know that I'm hurting.

Ang hirap na ngang itago na nasasaktan ako, mas mahirap ang magpanggap na masaya ako kahit sa loob ay wasak na wasak na ako.

But what..what if he knew that I'm hurting yet he refused to acknowledge it? It hurts me even more.

"Are you going home late...again?" I asked Nathan.

He sighed and nod. I just gave him a small smile. Agad niya akong linapitan at yinakap.

I froze for a moment. Parang nanibago ako sa pakiramdam. Hindi ko siya nakayang yakapin pabalik kaya tinulak ko siya ng bahagya.
