An Eye of the Cosa Nostra (Tres Patroncitas #1)

CAPITULO 25

HELLIXIR WAGON

Nagising ako nang namamaga ang mga mata, wala akong ginawa kung hindi umiyak nang umiyak buong magdamag, sinubukan kong matulog pero bawat pikit ko ay sila ang nakikita ko.

I was just staring at the ceiling when someone knocked on my door, I looked at my wrist watch and it was already eight in the morning.

"Ma'am? Gising na po ba kayo?" I heard a maid.

I tried to speak but no voice was coming out from my mouth.

I stood up instead and opened the door only to see the maid with Faughn, "Aren't you going to-" he cut himself off when he saw my eyes.

I'm ready to close the door when he put his hand between the door frame and the door causing it not to close, "You cried, didn't you?" He asked, I avoided his gaze.

"Me?" I asked him a stupid question.

"Are you seeing someone else here?" He sarcastically asked.

The maid suddenly vanished, "I didn't cry, puyat lang." Pagpapalusot ko.

"Talk to me, Rhyle. If you saw something in that room—" Hindi niya na natuloy ang sasabihin niya nang lagpasan ko siya.

I didn't want to remember it so I shook my head, "Huh? I didn't see anything there, just a mattress and furnitures."

His brows furrowed, "Are you sure?"

I nodded as I smiled, he pulled me by waist then hugged me which was I did not expect, his manly scent filled my nose, "You're getting late, go ahead."

"Please, if we have a problem don't hesitate to tell me." I just nodded.

Napagdesisyunan ko na lang na pumunta sa underground hideout namin, wala akong ibang ginawa kung hindi bumaril nang bumaril, mabigat ang nararamdaman ko, hindi ko alam kung bakit nakakaramdam ako ng pagmamahal para kay Faughn na hindi naman dapat. Rhyle, think, we got married because of our organizations' joined forces against our rivals. Mali, mali ang mahalin si Cienfuego.

"What's wrong with you? Kanina ka pa bumabaril diyan, ubos na ang mga bala." Ely said.

"Wala." I coldly said.

Sana hindi na lang ako pumasok sa kwartong iyon, sana hindi nalang ako nagpadala sa curiosidad, damn! I wish I can turn back time!

"Something happened." She concluded.

"Nothing happened, Ely."

Inis kong inilapag ang baril, unti unting humihina ang tuhod ko pero pinilit kong wag magpadala.

"I will not force you, but you can share everything with me anytime."

Hindi ko alam kung paano haharapin si Faughn pagkatapos ng mga natuklasan ko sa kwarto ni Izera, ang mga imahe nilang magkasama, magkahalikan at magkayapan ay paulit ulit na naglalaro sa aking isipan.

Hindi naman dapat akong magkagusto sa kaniya dahil hindi iyon ang tama, at wala iyon sa plano ko.

"Mendel and I are started seeing each other and hanging out." Ely said out of the blue.

Tumingin ako sa kaniya nang gulat, "You guys are dating...?"

She smiled, "Yes..."

Ngayon ko lang nakita muli ang kaniyang magandang ngiti, ang kaniyang mga mata ay sumisigaw ng kasiyahan at pagmamahal, she seemed free.

I reached for her hand, "I'm happy for you, I'll just hope for the best to the both of you." I smiled.

"Thank you..."
