How Autumn Ended Summer (Seven Rings Series #1) - COMPLETED

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

I don't know how to act. Can someone please slap me? Am I dreaming or what?! It's been how many years? I'm fine now! Parang bumalik lahat. Lahat ng sakit na pinagdaanan ko at naramdaman ko noong mga nakaraang taon. Those years have been hell to me. It's my darkest times.

I know that I'm the one who left.. I know I deserved all of this. All the pain and the suffering. Now, I can't look at him straightly in the eye. Kapag tumitingin ako sa kaniya.. All I can feel is guilt and nothing more. How can I encourage myself to tell the truth to him? Can I just say it right now?

I swear to God, I will kill Raffy with my own hands. I tried to put my fucking resting bitch face for the whole lunch meeting.

"Thank you. I'll make sure that Ms. Aguilar will sign this right away." Zadie said in a formal voice. Oh my god. How can I keep up with this? Tapos na ba? I want to go home already!

"Ms. Aguilar didn't tell me that she won't be attending today." He said and I felt his cold stares at me. Tumingin ako kay Zadie na nakatingin din sa akin. I glared at her to make her answer but she only frowned at me. What the fuck, Zadie.

"Proxy. Ms. Aguilar had some business to do. Are we done here? I need to go to a meeting." I said and puts on my sunglasses. Tumingin ako sa wristwatch ko to check the time kahit wala naman akong schedule ngayong araw. I just need to escape from his cold stares!

"I thought you cleared your schedule for this?" Tatayo na sana ako but Zadie held my arm. Oh my god. Can't she just feel the atmosphere?!

Napatingin ako kay Levi na seryosong nakatingin sa akin. His stares were cold and had a hint of rage and anger. My heart clenched a little. He has the right to be mad at me for what I did. I became selfish and coward.. and all I did is break up with him in a piece of paper just because I couldn't tell that I was the one who was with her sister that night. And worse, I shot her sister and failed to save her.

I have no difference with her ex. I left him when he's miserable. I should've been there for him but I couldn't. Paano naman ako? How will I be if I stayed?

"Emergency meeting."

"Oh. Well then, goodbye?" Levi said when I was about to stand up. I raised my right hand as a sign of goodbye. I saw how the side of his lips rose up.

"You're actually saying goodbye. That's new."

"Excuse me?" My brow shot up at him. His stares were even colder than before. His whole aura seems so different. What do I expect right? I should expect the worse. It's been years.

"Hmm. I don't know. I guess I'm just surprised that you're actually informing us that you're leaving because you obviously did not know how to years ago." He said coldly as he put his elbows on the table while looking at me. Both of his hands were intertwined.

"Years ago? Sorry. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Is that so? Because I can really remember how you wrote that your summer is unforgettable because—,"

"Is that relevant? Oh right! No. It's been years already and I think you should move on."

"Of course, I did. What do you think? After all those years that you left me, I'm still inlove with you?" He laughed without humor. I gritted my teeth.

"I don't know, Mr. Cavallero. That's not a question I think I should answer. Zadie, Let's go." I said and walked away from the restaurant.

When we got to the car, marahas kong hinubad ang monster glasses ko at hinagis iyon sa glove compartment kahit na nakasara pa iyon.
