Dealing with Mr. Scared of What? (Quadro Series #1)

Chapter 68

After that night, she felt completely shattered. Halos ayaw nga niya umalis sa kama niya kung hindi lang dahil sa mag-kambal ay baka boung araw na naman siya naka-higa. Puta, kung maka-emote siya akala mo naman kung ano relasyon nila ni Kyx.

Nakaka-bobo itong nangyayari sakaniya. It's been a week and she still felt like shit but she learn how to live with it, for now. Sana lang talaga mawala na ito isang araw. Pangit ng pakiramdam na ito or ma-drama lang siya masyado. Either way hayaan niya muna ang sarili niyang maramdaman ito pero alam niya na kailangan niyang ayusin ang sarili niya soon.

"Aunty Mommy. Miss ko na po si Uncle Daddy." Napa-tigil siya sa pag-lagay ng pagkain sa plato ni Eli ng mag-salita ito. Eiji was also looking gloomy while touching his food. Hindi siya nakapag -salita, look like she's not the only one affected by Kyx leaving. "Can't you take us to his restaurant?"

Kung hindi lang dahil sa mag-kambal na ito ay baka nagmukmok na lang siya sa kwarto niya, lalo na wala siyang masyadong trabaho. May gagawin daw kasi si Kersey kaya pinabantayan ang magkambal sakaniya, as usual. Hindi naman siya nagrereklamo pero anina pa bukang-bibig ng dalawa si Kyx, hindi niya alam kung paano niya sasabihin sa magkambal ang sitwasyon nila.

A knock interrupted her thoughts, and her head jerked. Parang magpapa -salamat siya sa kung sino man iyon.

"Kain na kayo. Tignan ko lang kung sino. Okay?" She then leave the twins and walks towards the door. Nang buksan niya ang pinto ay halos bumagsak ang panga niya sa sahig. The person she saw is the person she never expected it to be. "What is your business here, Bishop?"

"Can I come in?" Bishop ask, discarding her question and bitterness and the obvious rudeness towards him. "Then I'll tell you my business. Ms. Hallow."

Without a word, she sit down on the sofa in front of him. "Let's get to the catch. I'm a little busy today." Ani niya ng mapansin niyang mukhang walang balak ang lalaki sa harap niya mag- salita. Kung may rason man para magpakita ang lalaking ito sakaniya sigurado siyang si Kyx iyon. Bishop is weird, halos hindi niya maintindihan ang mood swings nito. Sobra pa sa buntis, nakakabaliw.

Bishop looks at her. "Akala ko ba hindi mo iiwan si Kyx?"

Agad naman kumunot ang noo niya, she looks at Bishop. "Ano?" Wala sa sariling ani niya.

"Kyx." Ani nito. "Bakit ka biglang nawala?" Tanong nito, parang napipikon. "Noong nilalait ka at halos ng kasamaan ginawa ko sayo hindi ka umalis ngayon na nanahimik ako mawawala ka?" He spat, and she can almost taste the bitterness in his voice. Now she's lost. Bakit ito galit?

"Huh?" It took a second for her mind to absorb what he was saying and the situation she was in. "Bakit parang galit ka?" She ask, aggressively. "And to answer your question. Kyx pushed me away, kagaya ng gusto mo." Parang may kung ano bumara sa lalamunan niya ng sinabi niya iyon. "You had no business with me starting now," She stood up. "Now if you please, get out."

"That's it?" Bishop asks, parang hindi ito mapaka-paniwala sa narinig nito. "I—" Madiin sabi nito kasabay ng pagturo nito sa sarili. "Disrespect you in every way I could think of and you didn't leave while Kyx just told you to fuck you off you leave?! Are you joking?!"

Frustration and anger can be heard in Bishop's voice, confusing her soul out of her body. Parang sumasakit ang ulo niya dahil dito.

She stayed silent, hindi. Hindi niya gustong iwanan o layuan si Kyx. Wala iyon sa plano niya kaso anong magagawa niya diba? Kyx is afraid because of his experiences and trauma but if ever this is a new journey, she's willing to go through this with him but what can she do? The man she wanted to go through this journey with is simply gone.
