The Islander(Royalty Series 2)

KABANATA 43

"You're crazy."

"I am." Mariin akong pumikit at nagpa gulong gulong sa kama.

It's my third day here in the hotel pero wala pa rin akong ginagawa. Wala rin naman akong pupuntahan. Ngayon ko lang naisipang sabihin kay Shine ang nangyari ng gabing yun. Nakalapag ang laptop ko sa kama habang nag vi-video call kami.

"How could you leave him after kissing. You're ridiculous. Siguradong papatayin ka sa tukso ni Third pag malaman niya to."

I rolled my eyes. Patay nga ako pag malaman ng isang yun.

"Kaya nga ikaw ang kinunsulta ko diba. I want to hear your opinion."

Umiling iling siya.

"I never heard of ditching after kissing. You're so heartless."

I pouted. Niyakap ko ang hawak na unan.

"Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ko ginawa yun. I had no choice but to runaway." Naiinis kong sinabunutan ang buhok.

I feel like my brain is going to burst.

"Aside from that. Wala ka namang ginawang mas masama diba?"

I blinked at her.

She raised her brow. I can't look straight in her eyes.

I remained silent.

"You did?" She's horrified.

"I-It slip in my mouth." Nahihirapan kong amin.

Yung feeling nag nag ooral recitation ka for the first time tapos strict pa ang teacher mo. Lalo na at over ang reaction ni Shine. Or talagang masyado akong harsh sa part na yun. Pero ano naman ang gagawin ko?

"What did you say?" She anticipated.

I bit my lips.

"I-I confessed." I closed my eyes.

I crossed my finger in nervousness. Yung feeling na parang kahapon lang nangyari. It keeps replaying in my mind like a haywire. Parang sirang plaka na lumalabas sa utak ko ang nangyari. I can't even sleep at night because of it. Parang pinupokpok ng martilyo ang utak ko.

Slowly, I opened my eyes.

Naabutan ko ang nakaawang niyang bibig. She look so shocked.

"You freaking what?" She's horrified.

Siguradong kanina niya pa ako nasabunutan kung katabi ko siya ngayon. Thankfully I'm far away from her.

"You kissed him. Confessed your feeling but in the end... You f-fucking runaway like an idiot?!"

Napangiwi ako ng marinig ang pagmumura niya. Shine is really mad. Hindi yan palamura magunaw man ang mundo.

"I know... I've messed up."

"You didn't just messed it up. You've lost it all girl!"

I pouted. She glared at me.

"Aren't you supposed to blame your man for this?" I retorted.

Naningkit ang mga mata niya.

"Why? Was he the one who kissed, confessed and ditched?!"

I rolled my eyes.

"He's the main reason why I'm with him. Kung hindi niya ginawa yun. You think it's possible for me to do it?" My hands were moving while speaking.

"As if you did not enjoy..." My eyes widen.

"Shine!"

She laughed.

I can feel my cheeks burning in heat. Matalim ko siyang tinitigan sa screen.
