Allejo Series 1 | Forsaken Memories

CHAPTER SIX

"Ano ba talaga ang nangyayari, Cresia? Can you enlighten me?!" I was bombarded with questions from Heather.

Nakitulog ako sa kanila dahil hindi ko alam kung paano ko haharapin si Andreus. Heather was quiet last night but now, she's asking more and more questions.

I sighed. "I told you, I don't love him. I did that to take revenge on him, to humiliate him. "

Tapos na. Is it really over?

Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko, parang pinipiga ang puso ko.

"I should be happy, right? ...Nakabawi na ako. N-Napahiya ko siya... Natalo ko na siya. But.. but why I'm hurting?" I got teary-eyed. "I.. I am finally free but.. but why does it feel like something's missing?"

"Maybe you love him."

I looked at her, my lips parted.

"Are you crazy, Heather?! I won't ever love that demon."

"Then why are you acting like this? Why are you affected? Why aren't you happy? Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi na nasasaktan ka," she asked.

I remained silent.

Tinapik niya ang balikat ko. "You can't stop the feelings you are hiding. You can't lie to yourself. Your heart knows the truth too well. "

I shook my head. "No," madiin kong saad.

"He doesn't deserve love. Because he doesn't even know what love is," aniko.

"It is never too late, Cresia. A love untold is probably the worst feeling. Don't make things you will regret, " pahabol niya bago ako umalis.

I went to a restaurant to grab some food. Damit ni Heather ang suot ko. I didn't even go home after that, I don't want  to face him yet. I'm... I'm really confused.

But I know that I have to go home soon. I have to pack my things and leave.

Pagkatapos kong kumain, pumunta na ako sa bahay. My heart was beating crazily as I entered .

I expected the maid to be around. I expected many loud noises like the sound of plates, the tv, the bark of dogs , and ..his voice.

But it was the exact opposite.

Nakakabinging katahimikan ang bumalot sa loob ng bahay. Luminga-linga ako sa paligid. Where are the maids? Where is he? Where is everyone?

I went to the kitchen but no one was there. Even the maids. Dinaga na ng kaba ang dibdib ko.

No.

After that, I went to his study room, but he wasn't there either. I have no choice but to enter his bedroom. I tried my best to remain calm. Ngunit panay ang kabog ng dibdib ko. Kung ano-anong senaryo ang pumasok sa utak ko.

Pagkabukas ko ng pintuan ay ang walang lamang silid ang sumalubong sa akin. There's no single trace of him..even his scent.

I immediately went to his closet . I was shocked! I.. I didn't know how to react.

Wala na ang mga damit niya. Wala na rin ang mga maleta. Even his other things were not there... his clothes.. his perfurmes.. his watches... the room became empty.

Dali-dali akong lumabas mula sa kwarto niya. Pumasok ako sa lahat ng silid. I was damn panicking!

Unti-unti akong nawawalan ng pag-asa nang makapasok na ako sa lahat ng silid ngunit wala pa rin siya. Where the f–ck is he?!

"Ma'am? " Lumingon ako sa pinanggagalingan ng boses.

It was our driver.

Bago pa ako magtanong, he answered my questions. " Umalis na po si Sir Andreus dala dala ang kaniyang mga maleta. Nagmamadali siya kanina e . Kaso hindi niya sinabi kung saan siya pupunta eh. " Napakamot siya sa batok. " Kayo na raw po ang bahala dito sa bahay. " He offered me the key.

Kinuha ko iyon kahit nanginginig na ang aking mga kamay. Naiwan akong nakatulala. Hindi nag sisink in sa utak ko ang nangyari.

Heather was right.

A love untold was the worst feeling.

Andreus Allejo.. you're really such a jerk.

To love you is to self-destruct.
