Serie 3 - Abducted (On Hold)

CHAPTER 16

Elianna Lauren Silvestre

Some people really come and go, just like past relationships, there are countless reasons why they left—cheating, didn't work-out, different priorities or maybe they just fell out of love.

It may be childish and immature, but I feel jealous, seeing Sebatien's ex made me insecure, she's so pretty, but I got to admit, it was so unnecessary that she had to tell me that she's his ex whereas he told her that I am his fiance, I know that what he said isn't true to begin with, but she just shouldn't had said that.

Parang sumasapaw, kung sinabi ni Sebastien na ako ang 'fiance' sana nanahimik nalang siya, hindi iyong may ex-ex pa siyang nalalaman.

The way she hugged him earlier, hindi matanggal sa isip ko, I wonder why the broke up, it seems like that woman still likes my Sebastien, nakakainis.

A part of me is convincing myself that I shouldn't be jealous dahil wala naman talagang kami, it is just a very complicated relationship that probably wouldn't last. Isipin mo, ikakasal na ako tapos biglang may lalaking tumangay sa akin, at hindi lang doon nagtatapos dahil ginawa niya na rin akong asawa—not legally though.

Kung Ike-kwento ko siguro iyon sa mga tao, ay malamang hindi sila maniniwala, baka husgahan pa ako na kesyo malandi, hindi makuntento sa isa o 'Di kaya'y easy to get dahil bumigay ako ka-agad.

Hindi naman ako babaeng manyak, nagkataon lang na manyak ang tumangay sa akin kaya nahawaan ako, noong kami naman ni Gael wala kaming ginagawang kamanyakan dahil conservative daw ako at ayaw niya akong pilitin, pero noon lang 'yon.

I bit my lip while looking down, playing with my fingers as we headed on the way home, Sebastien tried talking to me but I didn't bother on answering back, so there is an awkward silence between us—except for Ariana Grande music that's blasting on the stereo.

I could feel him taking glances at me, so I have a conclusion that he knows what I'm thinking, but I could be wrong since he didn't talk about that matter.

I have been really silent since the woman introduced herself to me, they even had a small catching up session while I'm there standing like an idiot in front of them.

I listened to their conversations like how many years they haven't seen each other, dating life, career life, and a few more personal things. From what I've heard, they haven't had any communication for almost 10 years, they were only twenty-two back then, then they talked about how well Sebastien did from his public servant duties. The woman also had a European accent, which I assume is she might be from Europe since she looks mestiza. Mestiza din naman ako pero iba talaga ang alindog niya, ganoon talaga siguro kapag mag class.

Ano laban ko sa kanya? Isa lamang akong simpleng probinsiyana na may tahimik na buhay noon, walang trabaho, hindi fashionosta, walang alam sa make-up, walang masyadong pangarap sa buhay at pinangarap lang na maging may bahay ng ex fiance ko.

The car slowed down as we enter the garage, kita ko rin si Kai sa labas na mukhang naantala ang gising dahil pupungay pungay na sumisenyas para lang makapasok ang kotse, hindi naman ito taga dito, inutusan nanaman siguro ni Sebastien.

Nang mapatay ang engine ay kaagad ko na rin tinanggal ang seatbelt ko at walang anu-anong lumabas ng kotse at hindi nag-abalang lumingon,dere-deretso akong pumasok sa loob.
