HOMIGEN SERIES IV: "Kiss And Make-Up"

KABANATA 36

"Regret?" he asked.

I bitten my lips in what he'd said because that one word strucked me too hard.

"Oo, nagsisisi ako! Nagsisisi ako sa lahat! Nagsisisi na umalis ako dahil mas pinili kong habulin ang mga pangarap ko. Masaya kana? Okay na? Ha? Nasasaktan ako d-dahil naiwan ako sa nakaraan natin" I shuddered into tears.

"J-Just leave me alone. I want to--"

"Do you still remember the very first time that you joined in an art competition?---Nagalit ka sa'kin kasi akala mo, sinabotahe ko yung pangarap mo. You know what, I realized one thing when you asked me some space...That, hey Lyndon, you have to step back for her to step forward...and which I was planning to do supposedly if you would accept me as your better half." he was looking from afar, particularly on the stars and moon while having a resentful smile which was very visibly seen on his lips.

"M-Maybe were not really meant for each other." It's very hurtful that it came from my mouth more than I thought.

Parang sasabog ang puso sa mga sinabi sa binata dahil hindi matanggap ng sistemang hindi na 'ko ang itinatangi niya.

"Siguro nga. We just have to accept that sometimes, those people in your past are just some pieces of puzzle to lead you in the right path and most of all, to teach you some profound lessons in life." anas ng lalaki.

Halos balde na yata ang luha ko hindi sa katotohanang sinabi ng binata ang mga salitang iyon upang tanggapin ang kinahinatnan ng aming pag-iibigan, kundi upang malaman kung sasalungat ang binata at sasabihin niyang maaari pa ulit kaming magsimula sa una. But I was merely wrong cause it proves me one thing: He's already into someone.

"L-Leave." in between my outcries.

"I'll drive you home."

"No, just leave me please?" I sniffed.

"You're really stubborn, young lady." as if I was scolded by an older brother and not the Lyndon I used to love. Maybe, he just want to establish this brotherly concern because he has another woman now. Shit!

I leaned on my knees and silently cried until a couple of few minutes ago, I've felt that my whole body was floating like light feather from the corner. Pinagmasdan ang lalaki habang buhat-buhat ng kanyang matitipunong bisig, halos hindi makakilos at tanging tingin na lamang ang kayang magawa sa binata. He was thoroughly licked his lower velvet lips which always makes me feel thirsty.

He put me at the passenger side of his Mclaren then abruptly removed his coat. Hindi ako makatingin sa lalaki at animo nanghihinang tumanggi sa mga kilos ni Lyndon. I was shocked when he put his coat over my upfront torso before he got into the driver's seat.

"You have to rest."

"You don't have to do this." I muttered.

"Your Dad told me to look after you."

Another heartache!

NANG MAKARATING SA MANSYON ay mabagal na lumakad sa patio at halos bagsak ang balikat. I'm all alone here at the mansion because they're still in Malaysia.

Ang tagal kong natulala sa harap ng pinto dahil naaalala ang mga sinabi ng binata kaya nabalong muli ng luha ang mga mata.

"Shall I carry you out in your room?"

Mabilis na pinunasan ang pisngi, ngunit biglaan niyang binuhat.

I-Ibaba mo 'ko." kulang sa tapang rason para hindi pakinggan ng lalaki saka tuluy-tuloy itong pumanhik at pumasok sa kwarto. He lay me down on the bed then stared at me for a pause moment. Hindi ko mapigilang dumako ang mga mata sa mapupula nitong labi. I bitten my lips because of too much anticipation that I would love to taste it even for the last time.
