His Best Angle (Angle Duology Book 1) | ON HOLD

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Tears flowed from my eyes and the heaviness and pain of my heart as I heard those words from him. My system can't fully absorb everything. That night, I slept with a heavy heart and a tired mind.

The bright sunlight welcomes my morning. I tiredly lift my body and lean my back on the headboard as I look around our room. Rio and Lind are still sleeping dreamily. They probably stayed until dawn, that's why they're still wandering in the dreamland.

I carefully got up from my bed to avoid creating noises that might wake them up. I walked towards the bathroom to clean myself. I washed my face and do the rest of my morning routine before deciding to go out and walk.

Still wearing my hoodie and a pair of cotton shorts, I walked on the fine sand of the beach. The sunlight is touching the skin of my face together with the kids of the sea breeze and the pleasant sound of the waves.

I walked and walked until my feet brought in front of a hammock tied on the bark of two coconut trees. I decided to lay my back on the hammock and let myself drown in my own thoughts.

I thought after I moved out of my parent's house everything's going to be okay. But now, it seems like the real mess is just starting. Many people close or related to me are now involved. From my parents and my twin sister, to Haiden, Lei and even my friends.

How can I even point out the root of this growing mess if everything looks like a puzzle up until now? That mastermind of this conflict, what is his or her connection to my family? Who is he? Did he already planned everything?

Where am I going to start?

I sighed as I lifted my body from laying down in the hammock. I grabbed my phone out of my hoodie's pocket to browse on my feed but I immediately lost my interest in it when I saw two random persons connected to my friends were causing commotion and issues by posting it in public.

Like seriously? They're too immature to face their problems. For what? Sympathy?

I immediately tapped their profiles and blocked their accounts. I don't want to have those kinds of people on my friends list. My life is already full of problems and I don't want to add more stress in my life.

Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo sa duyan at inalis ang shot kong hoodie. Naiwan lamang ang shot kong sando sa loob ng hoodie. Agad na yumakap sa akin ang malamig na hangin at humalik ang katamtamang init ng sikat ng araw.

I walk towards the water, I want to swim. Magandang maglangoy ngayon lalo at tahimik. Ang maligamgam na tubig-dagat ang lumukob sa katawan ko habang Patuloy akong lumakad palayo sa dalampasigan hanggang sa umabot na sa aking leeg ang lebel ng tubig.

Agad kong inilubog ang sarili at lumangoy palayo hanggang sa hindi ko na maabot ang ilalim ng dagat. Pinalutang ko ang sarili ko sa tubig na para bang nakahiga ako roon. Itinuon ko ang aking mga mata sa asul na kalangitan.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago muling inilubog ang sarili sa tubig. Kasabay ng pagsisisid ko sa bughaw na tubig ay ang pangangako sa aking sarili na gaano man kalalim ang sugar na iiwan sa akin ng katotohanan at gaano man kadilim ang magiging nasagutan sa lahat ng katanungan ay mananatili akong matatag.

Nang muli akong umahon ay nakatalikod ako sa dalampasigang aking pinanggalingan. Hinawi ko ang aking basang buhok palikod bago nagdesisyong lumangoy pabalik ngunit nang akmang haharap ako sa dalampasigan ay may dalawang braso ang pumulupot sa aking bewang.

"Good morning, my Ysobel," he greeted.

A smile formed on my lips upon hearing his voice. Damn this guy, he's making heart beats fast.
