Beauty From The Pain. (On-Going)

CHAPTER 54

AMARA'S POV

"Tawag na ako ni Mama, Ate. Thank you sa pakain po, ang sarap ng luto ni Kuya Miguel, promise."- Shamae waved her hand to me as I laughed awkwardly to her.

"Oh, okay."- I waved back my hand and waited her to walked away outside the house.

Paglingon ko, nakita ko si Miguel na kalalabas lang ng kwarto habang hawak 'yong phone niya at naka-plug 'yong earphone. He's holding it in a landscape side, so, I guess he's playing games again.

"Kumain ka na?"- I asked him. He took a single glance at me before making his way to the living room.

"Kanina pa."- he casually answered me.

"Okay."

Papasok na sana ako sa kwarto ko, nang lumingon ako ulit sa kaniya. Damn. He's so busy that he didn't even bother to look at me, though. I rolled my eyes when I saw him became serious and focused on his phone. I just stepped inside my room to take some rest. I was lying on my bed when a thing hit me.

'Just.. Just come back to me, Amara. Come back to me and I will do everything for you.'

That was the exact words he told me last night, right? By any chance, was he serious? He wanted me to come back to him, again? Eh, 'di ba tinaboy ko na siya noong nagmakaawa siya sa'king bumalik ako sa kaniya? After that, he gave me a cold treatment and even that asking me if I'm okay after the Mayor's son did to me, Miguel never did.

Pagkatapos din no'n, bigla na lang niya akong kinulit ulit. Sabi pa niya he's flirting with me. I was recalling every moment he did to me, until the day he believed me over Alexia. Sinuportahan niya pa ako at naging proud siya sa'kin.

'Hindi ba siya nasaktan no'ng ni-reject ko siya noon?'

He kept on pushing himself to me.

Yes, I already forgave Claire, and obviously Miguel deserve my forgiveness, too. But, the hell, if he's asking me to get back together, I'm not yet ready. Hindi pa ako handa. Tinanong niya din ako kung naniniwala ba ako sa second chance, syempre naniniwala ako doon, pero hindi naman agad-agad ibibigay ko 'yong second chance na sinasabi niya.

Oh God. How will I end this situation? It's so frustrating.

Almost four o'clock na ng hapon nang maisipan kong lumabas ng kwarto. Hindi ko na nakitang naglalaro si Miguel sa sala, pero sa dining naman siya naka-pwesto ngayon. He's not playing games but scrolling on his phone while biting the tip of his pen. Napansin niya ako agad at nginitian.

"Sit here."- he motioned me to sit beside him. Sumunod ako doon, pagka-upo ko kasabay din ng pagbaba niya sa phone niya. There I found out that he's surfing on his Instagram.

'Oh? Nag-dm na ba?'

Tss.

"What?"- walang emosyon kong tanong.

"Akin na kamay mo."

What gotten in his mind, this time?

Kahit nagtataka, binigay ko pa rin 'yong right hand ko. He started playing my fingers until suddenly, I realized our hands were already intertwined.

"What the fuck, Miguel?"- my brows met. Babawiin ko na sana 'yong kamay ko, nang higpitan niya 'yon.

"Okay, chill. Eto na nga."

Hinaplos-haplos niya 'yong forearm kong 'yon habang inaalis 'yong takip ng pen. He put three dots on it.

"Consider this first dot as the doctor, the second one in the middle as the nurse, then the last one as the deaf patient, okay?"- he explained.
