Chapter 24Silent treatment.
That's what I'm giving him. Ewan ko. I don't feel like talking to him after that. Buong byahe namin kahapon pauwi ay nanahimik lang ako. I didn't like his eyes yesterday. I hate it so much. It hurts.
"Hija. Kumain ka na daw sabi ni Señorito. Naghihintay siya sa ibaba." I heard Ate Leah's voice from the other side of the door. Napangiwi ako at nagtalukbong lang ng kumot sa katawan ko.
"Mauna na kamo siya, Ate! Masama ang pakiramdam ko," I lied. Sinabi ko lang 'yon para hindi na nila ako guluhin. Kanina pa sila katok ng katok sa kwarto ko. Ayokong makita si Levi ng mga ganitong oras lalo na ang daming tanong sa isip ko.
I don't want to ask him. Why? I'm afraid to know the truth. Does serious relationships really works this way? Am I doing it right?
Hindi na kumatok ulit si Ate Leah sa kwarto kaya nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Pero nagulat ako ng biglang magbukas 'yon at niluwa ang nagaalalang mukha ni Levi.
"Baby. Are you okay? You're not feeling well? You should eat..." Mahina ang boses niya. Umirap ako ng hindi niya nakikita at tinalikuran siya ng higa. Naramdaman ko ang palad niya sa ibabaw ng kumot sa bandang balakang ko. Marahan niya iyong hinahagod.
I heard him sigh. "Let's talk, Fayre. Don't shut me out. Mababaliw na ako.."
Kahit na gusto ko siyang lingunin para makita ang face niya.. hindi ko ginawa. Hindi ako marupok!
"I miss you. Can you tell me what's the problem so I can fix it?" Tumaas ang kamay niya papunta sa balikat ko. I flinched when I felt the warmth of his hand.
"Is this about.. Freia?"
Napasinghap ako. Even if I only hear her name, sumasakit na ang dibdib ko. Paano na lang kaya kung nagpakita na siya? God! I'm overthinking things!
Hindi nakatakas sa isip ko ang mga possible images ni Levi at Freia na magkasama. Siguro kung ano ang pagtrato niya sakin ay ganoon rin siya sa babaeng 'yon... or much better. I'm only his girlfriend, fiancee niya 'yon.
"Freia is already an ex, baby. My phase with her is alread done..."
Already done? Well his fucking eyes is not saying the same!
"Nahiya ka pa sabihin 'yung fiancée. Why? Hindi ka pa nakakamove on?" I turned to him to say that. Kita ko kung paano umigting ang panga niya. His eyes were darker than usual.
"How did you know all of this?"
"Does it fucking matter? Why? You're planning to hide this all from me? Is that it?!" I saw panic in his eyes noong tumaas ang boses ko. Lumapit pa siya ng kaunti sa akin kaya umusod ako palayo.
"No, baby. She's from the past and she's not even important. But if you want to know.. I will gladly tell you but don't shut me out like this. Baby.."
Umupo ako sa kama ng malayo sa kaniya. Niyakap ko ang mga tuhod ko. Lumapit siya kaagad para yakapin ako sa beywang. Sinubukan kong alisin 'yong kapit niya pero masyado siyang strong!
"Ask me questions, Fayre. I will answer all of them honestly. Itanong mo na lahat ng gusto mo. Basta promise me that you will hug me back after," Lumingon ako sa kaniya at konting galaw na lang ay mahahalikan ko na siya kaya agad akong nagiwas ng tingin.
"Oo na! Bitawan mo muna ako!" I said while trying to loosen his grip on my waist but he's too strong!
"No, baby. I need to hug you,"
"At bakit!?"
"Sabi ko sayo, the moment you said yes to me, hindi na kita papakawalan. So bear with me. Go ask na," He said, slightly whispering at my shoulders.
