The Possessive Ice King (Dropped)

Chapter 49 TPIK

Celestine's POV

Few days have passed and so far so good. No one dared mess with me. Well, who would dare if Akira has been following me around preventing Akari to take few steps towards me.

And today is my day off. Day off from those two headaches. Nauwi kasi ako sa bahay namin. I asked Akira to let me go home for at least two days. He was so against with it and throw tantrums but whatever, I don't care anymore. Kesa naman sa masira ang tenga ko and worst katinu'an ko sa dalawang yun.

One whole week with those twins make my head hurts and IQ lowered. They're bickering nonstop in front of me, like two idiots, that they are not.

"So Tin, you live here alone?" Tanong ni Sasha. Right, the four of them are here.

They wanted to keep me company for the weekend and they decided to stay overnight here until Sunday. This is the first time I have friends coming over. Si Sophia lang kasi talaga yung kasama ko mula noon.

"Yes. My dad lives in Milan for 8 long years now. Nauwi lang sya dito at least once or twice a year." My dad never said that he hates seeing me but that's the only reason I can think of why he doesn't want to come back here. He doesn't like to see me.

Kapag andito naman sya he never spends time with me. He rather make himself busy with work. Sa tingin ko dahil ito sa mommy ko. According to Akira I do look exactly like my mom.

I never saw my mom in picture, I don't even remember her face. I was too young when she died. And dad never kept a picture of her.

I wasn't able to understand dad before why was he avoiding me. Now I know. He is in great pain every time he sees me. It makes him remember my late mother. I feel sorry for him.

I don't have a slightest idea of what happened in the past. What was the reason of my mother's death.

My mom and Akira's mother died on the same day according to him. But he never told me what was the reason, he is unwilling to tell me. He looks very upset when I mention it to him.

"Tin? Something wrong?" Nag aalalang tanong ni Sophia.

"H-Huh?"

"Natahimik ka kasi and in deep thought." Dagdag nito. Umiling naman ako to assure her.

"Tin I know we've been friends not too long ago but I assure you. You can trust the three of us." Hinawakan ni Lilian ang kamay ko.

"Yes Tin. We will never do something that could hurt you." Sabi naman ni Alvina.

"Honestly we would like to befriend you, the moment Iya and us became close friends. That was way back in our first year college. But it was you who always refused us and pushed us away. We do understand naman kasi introverted ka." Mahabang litanya ni Sasha.

"I'm sorry. I was too aloof and I was scared of making friends. And  too hesitant to put trust on anyone. But now I'm ok with it. There may be things that I cannot tell you guys and keep it a secret for myself and I am sorry for that."

"It's ok Tin. At least you are making one step as to improve yourself. I am glad for that. I will always be here for you, not just me but these three ladies as well." Sophia pats my head smiling. I look at them teary eyes. I'm grateful to have them.

"Thank you."

For the whole day we did lots of things. I helped them bake pastries with Sasha's recipe. Kasi yung family nila owned many of bakery stores and restaurants. She's a good pastry maker by the way. I wonder why did this girl took Biology as her major?!

Matapos kaming magbake, we watched movies, Sci-Fi and Thriller. Tapos nagkwento ng kung ano ano. I participated with them and go with the flow, I didn't talk that much and will just if they ask something. They don't mind naman like they do understand me very much.
