Supreme Series #1: The Assassination

Chapter 32: Safe

Aish Blaire POV

I am done eating and now typing on my phone and dialing Shainah's phone number. I need at least one person to talk to. Gusto kong may magsabi kay Luke na babalik ako at maghintay siya. Lalayasan ko si Sevrious at tatanggihan ang punyetang misyon na ito"

"Sino this?" A bitter-sweet smile escape my lips upon hearing Shainah's conyo language. "I-hang up ko na this if you will not salita" maarteng aniya.

"Shai, this is me, Aika" ayoko man ay tuluyang tumulo ang luha ko. Iisipin ko palang na hindi na ako ang babae ni Luke ay naiiyak na ko. He's my man and I hope I am still his girlfriend. "Naaalala ko na Shai. Bumalik na ang a-alaala ko"

"Oh my gosh! Aika gurl!" She screamed happily. "Really? As in, you'd remember na? Everything? So how's you and Mr. Luhence? Nagkausap na kayo--"

"I hate him whole-heartedly Shai," I admitted. Tears started to fall from my eyes down to my cheeks. I heard Shainah's gasp. "He manipulated everything. That ruthless and monster manipulated me. He played me. He make a movie whose the actor is me, Shai. I hated him!"

"Aika Blythe...."

"Luke must be waiting for me. He will be worried about me. I am so bad, Shai. My boyfriend will cry"

"Aika, you... you did not remember everything. You just," she sighed heavily. "You just remember the present but not what happened 15 years ago" kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

15 years ago? Anong nangyari 15 years ago? I didn't get her.

"What do you mean?" I asked nervously. I am trying also to dig up my mind to remember what event happened 15 years ago.

"I'm sorry. I want you to heal. You'll... remember it soon. Trust the process" sabi niya sa mababang tono. Aalma na sama ako nang magsalita siyang muli. "Luke, if you are looking for him, he's in New York"

My world enlighten knowing that we are in the same place! "Exact location, Shai. I'm in New York too!" I excitedly said. Makikita ko na ang boyfriend ko!

"I don't know the exact location basta nariyan siya sa New York. I am sorry, Aika" I pouted but still happy knowing that me and my boyfriend are in the same place.

"It's okay. Ibababa ko na. Hahanapin ko siya so I will explain my side" I hang up the phone without waiting for her response. Pumasok na ulit ako sa loob at naligo. Mabilis na ligo lang dahil excited talaga ako makausap si Luke. I am craving for his hugs!

Lumabas ako nang naka-roba lang at kahit nakita ko ang pagpasok ni Ysmael sa suitè na ito ay hindi ko siya pinansin. Ayokong makita ang pagmumukha niya dahil nandidiri ako sa sarili ko. Nagpagalaw ako sa lalaking iyon at minanipula niya ang isa sa mahalagang event ng buhay ko. Hinding-hindi ko tatanggapin ang kahit na anong eksplanasyon niya dahil alam kong nilaro niya lang ako. Ito ang ganti niya dahil natalo ako sa pustahang iyon.

I wore long sleeve white crop top partnered by maroon high-waisted short. I wore my maroon sneakers shoes and now I am ready for take off.

'Yiehh, I am excited my love!'

"You are not going" napahinto ako sa malamig niyang boses na umalingawngaw sa loob ng silid. Nawala ang maganda kong mood. Hinarap ko si Sevrious na nakasandal sa counter at matamang nakatingin sa'kin. The way he looks at me made my spine shiver. I admit that he have this dark aura that I've witnessed on our first meet. Still, I composed myself. He already manipulated me and that's enough.

"Wala kang magandang rason para sundin ko iyan" matapang kong sabi. Humalukipkip siya saka umiwas ng tingin.

"Asawa mo ko" tumawa ako sasinabi niyang iyon bagaman mahina.
