The Way You Look At Me (VA Series 2)

Twenty Fifth

Joerish

"Take me to this fucking asshole."

He was surely mad upon uttering that six-word sentence. I can't read his eyes kasi nanlilisik talaga yun ngayon. I can't see no clear emotions but pure anger. Kasalanan talaga ito ng Andrei na yun! Ryseann was so mad na parang anytime mananapak! I don't know if he's mad at me or not. Sabi naman niya hindi.

Pero hindi ko alam!

He look so galit kasi eh!

"Uhm... Ryseann, calm down muna. I could explain. Wag kang m-magalit please." Gosh! I am so nervous! Hindi naman dapat akong kabahan kasi wala naman akong ginagawang masama.

"Okay." He calmed down for a bit at bumuntong hininga.

I hold his hand and I tried to smile. "Hindi ko siya niyakap, okay. Actually, ilang beses ko na siyang pinagtatabuyan these days and God knows that."

"Rish, you don't have to explain. I am not mad at you. Ang tanging ikinagagalit ko lang ngayon ay ang kagaguhan ng lalaking ito. How could he do this to you? Bakit ginagamit ka niya sa katarantaduhan niya? I am mad Rish cause this asshole just disrespected you na ako mismo hindi ko ginagawa."

I was silenced. I didn't think that he was mad because of that. Akala ko, galit siya kasi mukha akong nag-ch'cheat dun sa photo na yun. But it didn't turn out like that. Nagagalit siya cause someone just disrespected me.

I was so touched cause once again, I saw how Ryseann valued me as a woman.

"Ilang beses ka ba niyang ginulo?" He asked again.

Hindi ako makapagsalita. Jess and Irene also warned me about this but I didn't listen kasi. I thought I could handle it but they were right. I really should expect for the worst-case scenario. Andrei has gone overboard. Hindi na lang niya ako basta ginulo. He just invaded my privacy and spread false allegations about us.

"I don't know. A lot, but I can handle it pa naman that's why I didn't tell it to you—"

"Ate Rish, si Kuya Andrei." Rina interrupted me.

"Oh god. You asshole!" Agad akong naglakad papunta sa kanya and I slapped him. "Fuck you! What is that all about Andrei?! You know personally those weren't real."

"Tss. I told you already. I like you Rish. Pwede mo akong itaboy pero gagawin ko ang lahat para magustuhan mo ako—"

"Putangina mo!"

I was suddenly so shocked when Ryseann just punched Andrei on his jaw out of anger. Agad napabagsak si Andrei and dumudugo na yung corner ng lips niya. Masama niyang tinignan si Ryseann but Ryseann's anger is still uncontrollable.

Inawat ko na si Ryseann kasi mukhang galit na galit pa rin siya. He may do worse at baka makarating pa sa school heads.

"Ryseann, stop na!" I was damn worried.

"Tangina ka! Anong karapatan mong hawakan ang girlfriend ko?! Bobo ka ba? Hindi mo ba maramdamang hindi na siya komportable sa ginagawa mo? Wala ka bang utak?!"

"Ryseann, gosh! Stop it na. You may get harm."

"Hindi Babe. Sobra na kasi ito. At ano yung pinapalabas mo?! Na may kayo? Tss. Quit dreaming fucker! Sa susunod na kantihin mo pa si Rish, hindi lang yan ang matitikman mo. I am warning you. Don't you ever touch my girlfriend again."

Ryseann grabbed my hands and we walked out from there leaving Andrei, dumbfounded. We headed straight to the parking lot where he left his car. I still don't know what to say. I also don't what to do or what to act. Basta what I know is, I am thankful that someone stood up for me.
