Rays Of Karma (Isla Parola Series #4)

Prologue

They say that cheating is a choice. Ikaw ang mamimili kung gagawin mo o hindi. Lahat ng tao ay nagchi - cheat, all people can admit it whether they like it or not. Kesyo sa maliit o malaking bagay man iyan. Sa simpleng test, sa pera o di kaya naman ay sa relasyon. But before you do it, you have to be decided. You'd rather face the consequences. You'll have to hear those judgements and all. You'll have to be brave. In short, kailangan mong kapalan ang mukha mo. Because you want it and you did it.

"Kath are you sure about this?" nagdadalawang isip na sabi sa akin ni Noah habang hinahaplos ang aking mga pisngi at halatang balisa. "Have you decided? Buo na ba ang isip mo?" dugtong pa niya na nagpairita sa akin.

"Jesus, Noah how many times that I told you that I've already come up with this shit?"naiirita kong sagot sa kaniya.

As I have said, I've already decided with this thing. Hindi ko na mahal si Reigan. We've been together for a year now but recently I feel no sparks for him. It's just one day that I woke up, I felt nothing about him.

At nakahanap ako ng panibago na sa tingin ko ay papalit sa kaniya. Si Noah. I've met him before when I watched a basketball tournament last month. He came from De LaSalle University. Kalaban siya ng University namin that time. I already confessed my feelings for him and he said the same way in me.

And now we're together habang kami pa rin ni RR. He's too busy for that school shitty stuffs dahilan para hindi kami masyadong nagco - communicate. Just like the usual thing, hi, hello, kamusta, kumain ka na?. Iyan lang ang mga bagay na aming napag - uusapan. Wala ng iba. Parang nabuo lang ang relasyon namin to do these casual conversations and all. Parang kumuha lang ako ng boyfriend para may mangamusta sa akin bagay na ginagawa ng mga kaibigan ko sa school at social medias.

Buti na lang at nakikilala ko si Noah. It's like he's my savior from this boring relationship with RR. Never ko pa itong sinabi sa iba. I'm just letting the fate to tell them or to let them know about us. Lalong lalo na si RR.

I think he would understand this one. Wala na rin namang kuwenta ito para sa kaniya.
As I said earlier, already come up with this thing. And I will rather face the consequences.
I will bravely face it. With all my bravery and soul.

Binitawan ni Noah ang mukha ko at saka muling ini - start ang engine ng kaniyang BMW. Nagpatuloy na kami sa pagbiyahe papunta sa bahay ko. I  untied my wavy jet black hair and let it flow until it reaches an inches above my waist. Binuksan ko ang bintana at saka nagmuni - muni ng mga bagay - bagay sa buhay ko. Sinalubong ko ang malamig na hampas ng hangin. I already saw the shimmering city lights shining with the towering buildings along the BGC. Pasado alas tres na ng madaling araw at wala ng traffic pa sa kahabaan ng kalsada. I saw some people walking along the streets carrying their bugs and other stuffs. Nakasuot ng mga jacket or even dress shirts. Probably they came from their work. I let out a sigh and I felt a warm hand touching my left soft hand. Nilingon ko ito and I saw Noah smiled sweetly at me as he intertwined our fingers. I did the same way to him. I smiled sweetly but in my mind I have something feeling about this one.

Bumalik ako sa aking sarili nang makita ko ang gate ng aming subdivision. The guard let the car in but in the middle of that Noah stopped the engine. Siguro pinatigil siya ng guard. Binuksan niya ang bintana.

"Saan po sir?" magalang na tanong ng guard ng subdivision habang hawak ang isang tasa ng mainit na kape halata dahil sa umuusok usok pa ito.

"Uhm, Dela Torre's residence kuya." magalang ding balik ni Noah Kay Manong Guard. I let my head out of the window to prove that Noah is with me.

Ngumiti ako sa may Guard at saka rin siya ngumiti ngunit kita ko rin sa kaniya ang pagkalito sa kaniyang ekspresyon. Maybe he used to see me with RR when we go to our condo. But this time it's different. Because I'm with Noah now.

Hindi ko na nilingon pa ang guard at itinaas na ni Noah ang bintana. I shifted on my seat and took a deep breath.

I have this bad feeling that I can't tell.
I turned on my phone and took a glance to see what time is it.

3:36 AM

Malapit na kami sa condo ko nang itinigil ni Noah ang engine ng kotse. I look at him to ask what is wrong with him.

He just smiled at me.
I let out a sweet smile at him. This is what I like about him. He's so sweet and so adorable at the same time. He kissed me on the top of my head and I closed my eyes because of that.

He continue driving and when we reach our destination he was the first to go outside. Kinuha ko ang asking purse at ang aking cellphone. Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto at kaagad akong lumabas dito. I took a step outside and when the time he closed the shotgun door I fixed my dress and my hair.

He scooped his hand on my waist and kissed me again on my forehead. Isinandal niya ako sa may harap ng kotse. We're staring on each other for a minute when he took a deep breath and opened his mouth to say something.

"I love you." he sweetly said at me.

I smiled at him as a response but I thought that was not enough.

"I love you too..........so much." I uttered sweetly.

He neared his face on me when we heard someone opened the door of my apartment. Sabay kaming napabalikwas sa direksyon ng aking pinto.

I saw him clenching his jaw with bloodshot eyes. He's literally fuming mad at me. No.

At us.

Mabilis kaming naghiwalay ng posisyon ni Noah. I feel like my heart is racing. My blood is draining and even I don't have to look at the mirror nakikita kong namumutla ang aking mukha.

I don't know what to say and I don't even know how to speak this time. This is the time where I startled because of nervousness for the first time.

I was about to open my mouth when he frantically walked towards me. Gusto kong maglakad papalayo but my feet don't want to.

He gripped his hand on me still with this raging expression and his fuming mad face. Mas lalo ko lang natahip ang aking hininga nang marinig ko ang sunod niyang sinabi.

"Kathryn, what is the meaning of this?!!!!!"
