Miss Rhythm (Misses Series #2)

Chapter 18

"C-Cadence, buksan mo nalang kaya para malaman niyang—"

"Shh!" I hushed him as I covered his mouth. I felt his tongue in palm kaya agad ko itong inalis.

Nakakadiri naman itong isang 'to!

"Mali ang ginamit mo si Eleina, Riggs! Iyon ang mali mo!" galit na sigaw ni Rex.

"K-Kuya Rex, tama na." narinig namin na pinipigilan ni Rocco si Rex.

"Shouldn't you go inside? Baka kanina pa sila nag—"

"Rex! Saan ka pupunta?!" narinig kong sigaw ni Rhys.

Jorge stopped talking when the door swung open and obviously it was Rex, he's fuming mad. This is the first time I saw him like this.

But he's not my concern. He's not what I wanted to see right now.

I walked pass through Rex and Jorge tried to stopped me.

"Is it true then?" I can't hide the pain because it's evident in my voice.

"Eleina," Rex said as he held my arm but I immediately pulled it away I continued to walk towards Keith that can't even look in the eye.

"Keith, is it true?" I asked him one more time as I tried to stop myself from crying in front of them.

"Baby, I'm so—"

I slapped him. I slapped him hard so he'll know that I'm hurt.

"I did everything for you, Keith! Everything for your dreams!" I screamed as I am punching his chest.

"Eleina, please." he tried to stop me but I stepped away from him.

"Riri," iyak ni Rocco habang wala silang magawa ni Rhys.

"And did you guys know about this?! Huh!?"

"Eleina, hindi. Wala kaming alam sa pinaplano si Riggs." Rhys said.

I scoffed, "Baka sinasabi niyong wala kasi natatakot kayo? My God! Are you going to stoop this low to reach your dreams? Huh!?"

"Lei, please calm down."

"Cadence,"

Keith and Jorge both held my hands. I pushed Keith's hand right away as if I'm disgusted by his touch.

"I'll terminate you in our company." I said as I went to Jorge for us to go out in their unit.

"What!? No! Eleina, no! Please!" Keith pleaded.

I looked at Rex who is just silently watching us and raised my brow at him.

"Do you agree with me, Rexer?" I asked him with his full name his eyes widened in shock because of that but he just looked away and didn't answer me.

I wiped my eyes before looking back at Keith, Rocco and Rhys.

"You'll pay for this, you fuckers."

"Come on, Eleina!" Jorge hissed as he pulled me out of their unit.

We went to my unit as I packed all of my things. Aalis ako dito at baka pupuntahan ako ni Keith mamaya.

Ayoko na siyang makita sa ngayon. Masyado akong nasaktan sa ginawa niya.

Akala ko ba pumasok siya sa kumpanya namin nang hindi sinasabi sa akin kasi hindi niya gagamitin ang pangalan ko para makapasok? Pero bakit ganito? Bakit niya ito ginawa sa 'kin? Para ba sa kasikatan niya? Para makamit niya ang pangarap niya na maging sikat na bokalista?

I stopped putting my important clothes in my dufflebag when reality hits me.

Did he really used me? For fame? Talaga bang pumayag akong maging kami tapos gaganituhin niya lang ako?

Ang daming tanong ang bumaha sa aking isip. Wala akong magawa kung hindi umiyak. Hindi ko nalamayang pumasok si Jorge sa aking kwarto hanggang sa niyakap niya ako at inalu.

"What are your plans now?" tanong niya sa akin nang tumahan na ako pagkatapos ng ilang oras na pag-iyak.

Tinutulungan niya akong mag impake nang mga importante kong gamit. Mga uniform ko at iba pang gamit sa eskwela ang inuna namin. Kinuha ko ang iba kong damit at iniwan nalang dito ang iba.

"I'm not their Manager anymore. Si Manuel o si Mommy na ang bahala sa kanila. I will tell them to stop their activities after their concerts." sabi ko sa kanya habang binigyan niya ako ng baso ng tubig.

"I will be their downfall after that." I said in gritted teeth.

"Sigurado ka ba dyan? Pangarap yun ng—"

"Tumahimik ka nalang kung wala kang maganda sasabihin, Jorge." bigla kong singit sa sasabihin niya.

"Ang saya mo talaga kausap, 'no?" he said sarcastically and I giggled because of that.

We checked all the corners of my unit to see if there is something I want to bring with me.

"Stay in my unit tonight. Late na para umuwi. Baka tulog na ang mga kasambahay niyo." bigla niyang alok sa akin.

"Huh? Sigurado ka dyan, Jorge? Baka mamaya andoon ang girlfriend mo at sugurin ako ha." natatawa kong sabi sa kanya habang palabas na kami ng unit ko.

"Ikaw lang ang girlfriend ko, 'no! At tsaka matutuwa si France na nandoon ka."

I opened the door and we're surprised to see him here. Agad ring tumahimik si Jorge sa likod ko nang nakita kung sino ang nasa labas ng unit ko.

Rex looked at the bags me and Jorge are holding and then looked back at me.

"Magtatanan kayong dalawa?" he said as he chuckled.

Jorge immediately walked passed me kaya naman silang dalawa na ni Rex ang magkaharap.

"Did you cheated on Keith, Eleina?" he askes me without a humor.

I raised my brow at him and said, "You guys used me. For fame, Rexer!"

"I didn't. They did. I told you, talk with Keith. It was a perfect timing when you eavesdrop at our unit a while ago and it saves me time to explain everything to you." he said like what happened at their unit was nothing but a play to him.

"Are you messing with her, dude?" inis na tanong ni Jorge sa kanya.

"No," agad na sagot ni Rex sa kanya. "Are you?"

Hindi na pinatulan ni Jorge si Rex dahil pinagitnaan ko silang dalawa.

"Can you two stop?" suway ko sa kanila at tiningnan lang naman nila ako.

"Ano ba'ng ginagawa mo dito, Rex?" inis na tanong ko sa kanya.

"I just wanted to say that I'm not going be their drummer anymore for their last concert before they will change their company handler." he said as he walk out at us.

"Huh?" I said aloud that made me wonder why would he do this to his bandmates? To his friends.

"Rexer!" I called him and went straight out my unit and I saw him pulling his big luggage.

"I'll keep in touch, Eleina. I'll call you soon." he said as he ignored me completely.
