(Vilton Series #2) Ang babae sa manokan

Part 9

"Vivi?" He asked. Confused.

How long has he been there? Nakadungog siya? Unsa iyang mga nadunggan??

"You could remember? And you didn't even bother telling me?" He asked, pagkabawi niya sa iyang pagkakurat.

Disbelief in his eyes.

"Luther, I could exp—"

"Wow! You just made a fool out of me!" He cut me off. Both his hands is now on his head. Frustratedly pulling his hair.

"For how long, Vee? How long?!"

"Luther, calm dow—"

"You're telling me to calm the fuck down after hearing what you just said? Wow. You're unbelievable!" Ana pa siya ug nitalikod sa akoa.

"Luther, hear me out fir—" I wasn't able to finish what I would want to say when he shut the door on my face.

Damn that hurts.

I sat on his bed. Trying to process everything that happened.

Zeus is coming. He probably got my location because of the phone call. And now Luther just found out that I could remember. That I lied. How do I explain things to him?

The next thing I knew, naay sakyanan nga ni andar sa ubos. Niadto kos iyang balcony ug nakita ang isa ka pula nga sakyanan nga pagawas na sa ilang gate. It wasn't his. He owned a white car. Maybe sa kato tong bisita niya.

Medyo nakaginhawa ko kay wala ra diay siya ni lakaw. I thought he'll leave me.

Maybe we can still talk things out. He'll understand me, right? Pero ngano sad bitaw nga wala nako giingon sa iyaha? I think he'll understand more if I told him sooner. He could even help me.

Now things are already complicated. It's too late for regrets.

Pero sa pagmuni muni nako sa iyang balcony, nakita nako siya nga nisulod sa iyang puti nga sakyanan ug daling nagdrive pa gawas sa ilaha.

Okay.

So I made him really, really mad that he left.

So what do I do now?

Should I follow him? Or what?

My thought got interrupted when I heard a buzzing sound. My phone's vibrating. Naa dapit sa katre kung aha nako na hulog ganina.

I took the phone hoping it's Luther, nga nagtext nga mo balik ra siya or that magpabugnaw sa siya.

But it's an unknown number. Zeus' I think.

So wala nako gitubag.

How stupid of me to expect a message from Luther after what I just did to him.

In ana nalang jud ka ka importante sa iyaha dzai?

But he told me he love me! Loving is forgiving, right?

Maybe na question na niya iyang love for me after knowing that I lied. Fck. There are so many things running on my mind and this damn phone won't even stop ringing.

"Hello?"

"Why the hell did you cut me off, Athena?! Ayaw jud kog sulayi ha," he warned.
