OUR SWEET VIOLENCE [TOXIC SERIES #1]

CHAPTER 51

"So this is how you always end up feeling?"tanong ni Alyxcs, habang kumukurot ang leeg niya. Si Khiona naman ay dahan dahang nilalagyan ng anti-bacteria o betadine ang kanyang leeg na namasa.

"Yes, but yours looks worst." Khiona stated. "I was too much."ani ng dalaga.

"Nothing is too much for me when it's you Khiona."he smiled softly. "I'd take any pain you'll give like the way you did with mine."

"We're toxic together."she muttered.

"I know, that's why no one can take us away from each other."he said, rubbing her lower lip using his thumb.

"I don't know what i'll do without you."Khiona whispers as she glances at him. Alyxcs then smiled softly at dahan dahang hinalikan ang labi ng dalaga.

"I'll never leave you, Khiona."he said. "They will have to kill me before they take you away."

Ngumiti ang dalaga sakanya. "What will you do to Ysa?"tanong nito.

"I can't get rid of her, si papa ang may desisyon."he stated. "But you can be with me 24/7, if you're still mad about it."he sighed.

"No, i trust you."she stated. "Empleyado siya ng papa ko, i should understand that. All long she's not near you, i don't mind."

"You're so understanding, Khiona."ngiting tugon nito.

*********

"You're gaining weight, Khiona."Maria spoke next to her habang kumakain sila ng breakfast.

Khiona is eating rice, beef at eggs, marami pa ito, at oo, tumataba na nga muli ang dalaga. Lahat nang nabawas sakanya ay para bang onti-onting bumabalik.

"Sorry, i've been hungry lately."sagot ni Khiona. Alistair then ate his rice and eggs on the other side. "It's good, it means she's not stressed anymore."ani nito.

Bigla naman dumating itong si Alyxcs na nagbubutones ng kanyang puting blouse. "Kuya, lets go." Ani nito, agad naman tumango itong kuya niya at tumayo.

"Where are you two going?" Khiona asked, si Alyxcs naman na lumapit sa kanyang nobya at hinalikan sa noo.

"We have some things to do at the lab, i'll be back in a bit."he said, Khiona pouted. "What time will you be back?"she asked.

"I'll be back as soon as i can, for now kumain ka na muna at magrelax, okay?"he stated. "Kung gusto mo gawin mong punching bag si Ysa."bulong nito sa kanyang tenga.

Mahina naman na napatawa si Khiona sa sinabi nito.

"Be careful out there, and please look after dad."Maria said, humalik naman sa pisnge itong si Alyxcs sa kanyang ate. "Yes, and you do your shopping."sagot ni Alyxcs at umalis na sa harap nila.

Nakaramdam ng matinding hilo ang dalaga nang makaalis na sila, napatigil muna ito saglit at napahinga ng malalim, si Maria naman ay napatingin sa dalaga.

"Are you okay?" Tanong nito, tumango si Khiona. "Y-yes, i guess highblood since i'm eating beef early in the morning." Khiona smiled akwardly at napahawak sa kanyang batok.

"Nonsense, you should go to doctor and get yourself checked up."nagaalalang tugon ni Maria. Tumango naman itong si Khiona.

"I guess so."she said.

"Go to the pharmacy, why?"tanong ni Cali habang umiinom ito ng tea sa isang tabi. Binisita na naman ng dalaga ang kanyang kaibigan sa hotel nito.

"I haven't had my period in days, delay ako."she stated.

"Delayed ka? Isn't it because of your diet? Magpa check up ka kaya?"she asked.

"No... kasi.."

Napatitig naman si Cali sakanya. "Are you saying you might be pregnant?"tanong ng dalaga, Khiona then sighed then nodded.
