She Who Got Rejected ✔️

Chapter 16.1

Part 16.1

"Stop fooling around, Alekxus, alam mo na ang sagot diyan." saad ko.

He just grinned lazily at me at sumandal sa pader ng pinto.

"Pinapunta ako ng Luna rito. Huwag matigas ang ulo, bakit ayaw mong magpagamot tapos konti lang din ang kinain mo kanina?"

Nawala ang ngiti niya at sumeryoso ito. Alekxus exhaled first before replying, "It's Dad. When I visited him and saw his state, unconscious because of those deep wounds, wounds he received when he's not even at fault," napasabunot si Alekxus sa sarili, "He was just observing, didn't even participated in the battle earlier, but still he's the one who got punished!" galit na reklamo niya. "How is that fair, my Redemption? How can the fuckin' Council consider that kind of judgment fair?"

"Hey," kumalma siya ng konti nang hiwakan ko ang kaliwang kamay niya. Our fingers intertwining with each other, I added, "I don't agree with the Council too, but let's not let anger win, Alekxus. Hindi nakakatulong ang sobrang galit sa paggawa ng mga maaayos na desisyon."

"You're right, Red." he answered while tucking some strands of hair behind my ears. "What will I do without you, my Redemption? I might as well end up a villain without a heart if you're not by my side."

Napakunot ang noo ko. "You're not a villain, Alekxus." He's the good guy, the knight in shining armor, Alekxus is far from a villain. "Without your help these past months, I also don't know where I will be."

By becoming my only friend, he helps me fix myself. Nariyan siya palagi para suportahan ang mga desisyon ko. Nang nabunyag sa Oxalis Pack na ako ang Red Hood, sinuportahan niya ako laban sa mga miyembrong kinukwestyon ang aking mga prinsipyo.

"I'm glad you're in my life, my Redemption." pinisil niya ang aking kamay na kaniya pa ring hawak-hawak.

"Me too kahit minsan makulit ka at pinagtitripan mo ako." pabirong saad ko habang nakataas ang isang kilay.

Alekxus chuckled, "It's part of our courtship." Uminit ang mga pisngi ko dahil sa sinabi niya. "Syempre aasarin at pag-titripan kita para mapansin mo 'ko."

"Nambobola ka naman..."

"Seryoso 'yon." That didn't help, mas lalo lang akong namula. He stretched his free hand, inviting me to enter his room. "Come inside, my Queen, I'll take a bath first and we will resume this very interesting discussion."

With that, I really don't have a choice but enter his room, Alekxus' den. I watched the rippling of muscles on his back until he disappeared inside his bathroom.

Bakit hinayaan ko na malagay ang sarili sa sitwasyong 'to?

My heart feels as if it's in danger.
