MGBF2: RETRIBUTION

CHAPTER 46

AC's POV

"Kuya we need to talk." Tawag ko kay kuya na kausap si Mama.

"What is it?" Tanong niya habang palapit sa akin.

"Kuya I can't do this. I can't pretend infront of Lala. And one more thing, kuya si Ren kaylangan siya ni Nica and we can't just pretend that nothing is going on."

"Well if you can't pretend, then can you manage to tell Lola? Kaya mo bang sabihin sa kanya na yung pinakapaborito niyang apo ay sinaktan at niloko ng dati niyang fiancé? If you can manage to do it then say it to her. But I'm just warning you Kate, hindi mo gugustuhin na mapahamak si Lola." Pagpapaliwanag niya at umalis na. Why do things need to be this hard? Bakit ako parin yung naiipit, I can just say it to Lala but I don't want her to be in danger.

I'm so frustrated right now! Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.

"Oh hija, where is Ren? Is he alright?" Tanong ni Lala at lumapit sa akin. Kapag sinuswerte ka nga naman.

"He's ok Lala, he's just taking a rest." I said and smile at her. This is so difficult!

"Why don't we go upstairs and kwentuhan niyo ko. Hindi naman siguro mapapagod si Ren doon. And I'm sure mas gagaan ang pakiramdam niya kapag nakita ka niya." What?!!! So it's really happening? Magpapanggap kami? What the fudge?!!!

"Sige po." Sabi ko at inalalayan siya paaktat sa hagdan. Nang makarating na kami ay kumatok muna ako bago buksan ang pintuan. Nakita ko naman si Ren na nakahiga.

"Hi po." Bati niya at naupo. I almost rolled my eyes at him bago umupo sa sofa.

"Kamusta ka na hijo? Kamusta ang pakiramdam mo?" Tanong ni lala kay Ren.

"I'm ok, I just need to rest a little bit." Sagot naman niya.

"Hija, what are you doing there? Dito ka sa tabi ng fiancé mo. I want to see you two being sweet." Kapag sinuswerte ka nga naman!

Papunta palang sana ako ng tumunog yung phone ko so I pick it up at nagpunta sa balcony.

"Lala I need to take this call." Sabi ko at nagpunta na sa balcony.

"Hello?"

[Hey Kate I'm downstairs.]

"Really? Wait I'll go downstairs, just a second." It's Matt I just don't want to be with Ren right now. I just can't take it. Umiinit ang dugo ko sa kanya.

"Lala I need to go downstairs, nandyan daw po kasi si Matthew wala po siyang kasama." Sabi ko at dali dali ng lumabas ng kwarto before she even ask anything.

"Hi!" Bati ko kay Matt at niyakap siya.

"Buti naman at nakapunta ka. I thought Ethan wouldn't want you to come. That jerk, how is he? Kundi ba naman kasi nakipagsuntukan kagabi doon sa bar." Sabi niya ng kumalas sa pagkakayakap sa akin.

"He's actually upstairs, he's sick. Nilalagnat nga eh. Lala and him are talking, he said he will just drop me off but pinigilan siya ni Lala na umuwi."

"So he's here? If I know I would've brought my papers para mapirmahan na niya."

"What papers? Para saan?"

"Aalis na ako sa grupo. I want you, with no limits. Kapag nanatili ako sa grupo hindi kita makukuha."

"No, bakit ka aalis? You work had for you to be one of the Big 5. Hindi pwedeng basta basta ka nalang aalis."
