Kabanata 31:
Tulips

I tried to breath through the hard lump in my throat. I can taste the bitterness on my mouth. Lumuwag ang pagkakahawak ko sa braso niya. Akma akong kakawala pero hinigpitan niya ang hawak sa bewang ko.

"Pakawalan mo ko." utos ko sa kanya sa seryosong tinig. But he's more serious and his eyes were menacing dark.

"I won't. Not again." aniya at napasinghap ako. Tinulak ko siya sa dibdib. I use my remaining strength to push him but as if it was enough so I can escape on his hold. I failed and I glared at him.

"May asawa ka na! Are you cheating Lucian? You're planning to make me your mistress?!" pa galit kong sinabi at tinulak muli siya. Ako lang yata ang nasasaktan roon dahil matigas ang dibdib niya. Ni hindi man lang siya natinag sa malakas kong pagtulak at paghampas.

The people around can't notice us. They look like a mad lion dancing in the dance floor. Napapalibutan kami ng ganoong mga tao, na may sari-sariling mundo sa pagsayaw. Walang pakialam sa kung ano man ang nagaganap sa amin rito.

Even if I yell Lucian they won't throw us a damn. Matalim ang tingin ko sa kanya. The neon lights is hitting on his face and I can hear the loud music clearly aside from my loud and violent heartbeat. I bow down my head and he tried to lift my chin but I swatted his hands away.

He sigh heavily.

"You shouldn't touch me. Ano na lang ang sasabihin ng asawa mo?"

"I am free to do this." natawa ako ng pagak sa sinabi niya. I laugh mockingly and arch my brow.

"Why? Because she's not here and she will not caught you dancing with her cousin in a bar who's your ex-girlfriend."

"I'm not married to her! Please, don't mention her here. Tungkol sa atin lang ang gusto kong pag-usapan." aniya at umawang ang labi ko. I laugh again. With full of sarcasm and without any humor.

I cross my arms over my chest even he's still holding my waist. Mataman ang pagtitig niya sa akin na para bang tumatagos sa kaluluwa ko. Habang ang akin ay matalim na kulang na lang ay mahiwa siya roon.

"Stop me with your bullshits! You hurt me enough! Can't you see! Can't you feel how destroyed I am Lucian! Gusto mo pang d-dagdagan!" nabasag ang tinig ko. Bahagyang tumaas ang boses ko pero hindi iyon rinig ng iba dahil sa dumudugundong na musika.

Tears stung on my eyes and my heart throbbed in pain. Halos hindi na ako makahinga sa paninikip noon.

My heart is thumping too but I can feel the pain in it's every beat. I tried to swallowed the lump in my throat but it just can't vanish. I want to drink a liquor but this asshole doesn't want to let me go!

"I was destroyed too Hyacinth! You couldn't even imagine how I was tormented for the past years." nagtiim bagang ako roon.

"Fuck you! Akala mo ba magaling kang manloko Lucian? You think you can trick me? Think again asshole! I can read between the lines what you're trying to do! Layuan mo na ako! If you are not still not contented for what have you done to me already, just kill me. Malaya ka ng gawin iyon ngayon. Kill me instead of making me suffer!" mariin kong sinabi. I gasped harshly when the lights highlighted his bloodshot eyes.

The corner of his eyes sparkle and I can't breath for a few agonizing moments. Napatitig ako sa mga mata niya.

I can't believe what I'm seeing or it's another illusion again. Am I imagining things already? O lasing na talaga alo at kung ano ano na ang nakikita ko.

"Hindi kita niloloko. I won't never do that to you! Tama ka, Hyacinth. May plano akong mapalapit sayo. I want to get you back. I want to be with you again. I want to hold you again. That's my intensions." he said breathless and my system suddenly gone wild.
