Torn Apart

Chapter Thirty One

"Ano ba?!" Singhal ko dahil mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa'kin habang hinihigit ako palapit sa sasakyan niya. His car isn't Jaguar anymore. It's now a BMW 4 series convertible.

He's filty rich now! I wonder kong malaki ba salary nya or nag fa-frontrow lang siya.

He let go of my hands. Napahilamos siya sa mukha niya at hinarap ako. His eyes we're bloodshot. He look angry and frustrated at the same time. I gave him my tired look. I could feel my tears falling down.

"Really..." He looked at me from head to toe. "Sa isang linggo na hindi kita makontak uuwi ako na makita kang suot ang ganyang damit at nakikipagsayaw sa iba?!" I closed at my eyes at his sudden raised of voice.

"Bakit ka pa kasi umuwi? Ikakasal ka na diba?" Sabi ko habang humihikbi. I don't even know why I am emotional. I look at him with my blurry sight. He looked so shocked.

"What are you-" I cut him off.

"Yes! I know! Mira right? Her name? Ang papakasalan mo? Bakit ka pa kasi umuwi ha? Niloko mo lang naman ako, tapos uuwi ka dito na magagalit sa'kin?! Ang kapal din ng mukha mo no!" I shouted my lungs out.

I've never been hurt before. This feels like I'm also dying. My heart was aching like there's no tomorrow. Nahihilo din ako the same at nasusuka pero pinigilan ko kasi kailangan ko pa siyang sumbatan ng kanyang panloloko sa'kin.

Dinuro ko siya.

"You fooled me! Just fuck you! You fucking fooled me! Ano masaya ka na ba? Kasi naloko mo 'ko at papakasalan mo ang totoong gusto mo?!" He got closer to me. He tried to hold my elbow but before he can do that I slapped him hard.

"You're really an asshole! I tried to fucking video call you but guess what? That fucking Mira showed her fucking ring in the video! Magsama kayo!" Muntik na akong matumba sa buhangin but he was quick so he held my waist.

"Oh, that was the reason why I can't contact you." He chuckled. "My baby girls was jealous.." He whispered on my ear.

"Yes I was engaged to her. That's why I went back to headquarters to cut off the engagement. I never like her anyway." He explained. Pumiglas ako sa kanya.

"Liar." He's trying to fool me again! Gusto niya ulit mahulog ako sa mga patibong niya! "Sinungaling ka!" Tatakbo na sana ako pero nahawakan niya ang kamay ko kaya napasalampak ako sa dibdib niya.

He hugged me tight.

"I'm saying the truth. She's the daughter of our General. Pumayag lang ako dahil... I thought you'll never come back.. Kaya noong bumalik ka I decided not to marry her, instead, I want to marry you.." Malambing niyang sabi.

"I won't marry anyone unless it's you.." He added and kissed my cheeks then, he wiped my tears. "Please tell me what can I do so that I won't upset you anymore." Umiling ako.

"Just go." Sambit ko at tinalikuran siya. Naglakad ako pabalik sa kasiyahan. Sinalubong ako nina Famella na nag-aalala ang mukha.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Umiling ako. They glanced at whoever in my back. I got the feeling that Andrew followed me but I decided not to look back and I walk my way to the table where the liqours was placed.

I grabbed two bottles of beer again and went to the dancefloor or should I say dancesand? I saw my friends talking to Andrew. Yeah. Don't be fooled by that asshole.
