Louis pov:

I don't know what time it's but I just woke up after I felt like someone is caressing my hair, I slowly opened up my eyes and saw Jordy.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Nasa Pampanga tayo," ngiting sagot nito.

Tinignan ko naman ang relo ko at 2:30 pm na.

"Take me home," I said with a serious tone.

"We will not leave unless you listen to my explanation," Jordy said with authority.

"Mom and Dad will definitely search for me," I replied.

"Tinext ko sila gamit phone mo." Kamot batok nitong sagot sa 'kin.

"You did what?!" I shrieked.

"Sabi ko na makikitulog ko sa isa sa mga friends mo," sagot ni Jordy.

"This is ridiculous," I said in disbelief.

"Let's eat our lunch first," Jordy said.

Huminga naman ako ng malalim dahil naramdaman ko ang pag-kulo ng tyan ko, sumunod naman ako papasok sa isang bahay at bumungad sa 'kin ang preskong sala.

"Dito kami tumira ni Lolo bago s'ya mamatay," sabi ni Jordy habang naka-tingin sa isang picture frame.

"It's nice here," I said.

"Kain muna tayo bago ko sabihin sa'yo lahat ng nangyari," aya ni Jordy.

Pumunta naman kami sa kusina nila at may kanin dun at adobo pati kaldereta.

"Nag-paluto ako sa caretaker ng bahay bago tayo dumating," sabi ni Jordy.

Hindi naman maiwasan mapa-lunok dahil amoy na amoy ang mabangong amoy ng ulam na nasa harapan namin, after eating out late lunch Jordy and I went back to the sofa.

"Explain your side," I said before sitting in the sofa.

Huminga naman ng malalim si Jordy bago ito mag-salita.

"My father forced me to marry Frincia and he threatened me that he'll kill you, I couldn't risk your safety over my happiness Louis so I made a choice." Yumukong sagot ni Jordy.

"So you decided to left me?" I asked.

"Yes," he shortly replied.

"Have you tasted her?" I asked but I felt like their's a lump inside my throat after asking that question.

"Of course not baby," he responded.

"Alam mong kaya tapatan ng pamilya namin ang daddy mo Jordy," saad ko bago pumatak ang isang butil ng luha ko.

"I just can't bare it baby, I can't bare seeing myself letting your family fight for our love." Hawak ni Jordy sa kamay ko habang umiiyak.

"You should have let me fight!" I shouted while crying.

"I can't risk it," Jordy helplessly said.

All of the sudden I felt like this revenge is nonsense anymore, only for the reason that Jordy is also a victim of the past.

"We can't be together." Tumayong saad ko.

"What do you mean?!" gulat na tanong ni Jordy.

"Your still married to Frincia," sagot ko.

Ngumiti naman bigla si Jordy bago ilabas ang isang brown envelop at inabot sa'kin, binuksan ko naman ito at na gulat ako sa laman nito.

"Paanong nangyari 'to?" tanong ko.

"When Frincia was drunk I made her sign the divorce paper and work fast so it'll be approved by the court immediately," sagot ni Jordy.

"So this means?" I asked with a hesitant tone.

"Which means I'll be able to Marry you baby," he said with a smile.

Hinawakan ko naman ito sa pisngi at bigla itong niyakap, hinimas naman ni Jordy ang likod ko habang yakap-yakap ko ito.

"Just wait for me baby, I just need to bring down my own father and Frincia's family." Hawak ni Jordy sa kamay ko.

"I will," sagot ko.

Ngumiti naman ito at hinawakan ang kamay ko, na gulat naman ako bigla nang makarinig kami ng sigaw mula sa labas ng bahay.

"Frincia," Jordy said.

Lumabas naman kami at na kita agad Si Frincia na diring-diri sa putik.

"I knew it! Sabi ko na nga ba makikita kita dito kasama ang kabit mo!" Sigaw ni Frincia.

Sasagot sana si Jordy pero hinawakan ko ang kamay nito, tumingin naman sa’kin si Jordy pero nginitian ko lamang ito.

"Sumagot kayo!" sigaw ulit ni Frincia.

"Jordy just asked me to a date and he showed me where he grew up," I said with a smile.

Bigla naman na tigilan si Frincia sa sinabi ko, bigla naman lumawak ang ngiti ko dahil sa reaksyon nito.

"As you may see Frincia, if a guy loves you, he'll bring you to his sacred or special place." Lumalakad kong sabi.

"You married me Jordy!" sigaw ni Frincia.

"If my father and your father didn't blackmailed me I wouldn't marry you," Jordy coldly replied.

Lumapit naman ako kay Frincia at sinalubong ang galit na tingin nito sa’kin.

"This maybe your wake-up call Frincia, you tried to steal man but it turned out that he'll never love you. At the end of the day I'm still his better half," I coldly said.

She was about to attack me but I quickly pushed her down to the dirt.

"Yuck!" malakas na tili ni Frincia.

"Your just a piece of trash to me Frincia, don't worry I'll bring you down." Tumalikod kong saad

"Baby," tawag ni Jordy.

"Don't worry, I have my keys." Pakita ko ng susi ng sasakyan ko.

Agad ko naman pinaandar ang sasakyan ko at lumipas naman ang 3 oras ay naka-uwi na ako, I greeted Mom and Dad with a kiss on their cheeks.

"Akala ko ba makikitulog ka sa isa sa mga friends mo?" Mom asked.

"I changed my mind Mommy," sagot ko.

"So what's your plan now?" Dad asked.

"Well I'm just gonna talked to someone for some information," I honestly answered.

"Don't worry, your Mom and I won't get in your way," Dad said with a smile while holding Mom's hand.

After a few hours I finally went to my bedroom and open my loptop, I tap Rivan's icon and she quickly picked up my FaceTime.

"Goodevening to you Louis," Rivan greeted while drinking her coffee.

"Can I use your help?" I asked.

"About what?" Rivan asked.

"About Jordy and Frincia's family background," I said while removing my makeup.

"Why?" she asked while raising her eyebrow.

I took a deep breath before explaining everything that happened today, after telling her the story she just took a big sip on her coffee.

"Well I'll ask Bryan for some help," she said with a smile.

"Thank you so much sissy," I said with a smile.

"Of course, 'your happiness is my happiness' remember?" she teasingly asked.

"Yes, again thank you sis," I genuinely said.

"Always welcome," she said before ending the call.

Tumingin naman ako sa salamin bago ngumiti.

"It's payback time," I said to my reflection.
