LCS 15: Light Perez (Completed)

Chapter 38

BANTAY sarado ni Vyrlle ang emosyon sa mukha ni Light, she was expecting him to turned his head and look for his ex fiance, pero nanatili ang tingin nito sa kanya. Staring at her, lovingly.

"Ah, nevermind. Baka hindi siya 'yon," bawi niya.

The woman looks different, after all.

Light cleared his throat and smiled at her.

"The truth is… nakita ko siya kanina. She looks different, hindi ko nakilala agad." Light confessed.

Knowing that he accidentally met his ex, she's not bothered at all. Ni hindi niya makapa sa sarili na nagseselos siya. She's confident.

"Turns out his husband is one of my workmates. Hindi ko lang alam kung sino sa mga 'yon."

"Hindi ka nagtanong?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong niya rito.

Light snorted and shook his head. Inabot nito sa kanya ang sundae nito na hindi man lang ginalaw.

"Why would I?" Light asked back.

"For closure? I don't know." Aniya at nagkibit balikat.

"Closure? You want me to go and talk to her about that? I don't need that. I'm now happy, I've always been, bakit ko pa aabalahin ang sarili ko para doon." Light answered. "Though, I have something to destroy once na makabalik ako sa Pilipinas." He added, making her forehead crease.

"And what is that?" Curious na tanong niya rito.

"It's a claw machine… nasa loob noon ang engagement ring na iniwan niya sa akin." He answered honestly.

Vyrlle noticed Light pressed his lips together. Halata na naman ang kaba sa mukha nito. Hindi niya na pigilan ang sarili na matawa, tinapik niya ang kamay ni Light at masuyo na ngumiti rito. Showing him that she's fine, she's not jealous at all.

She's not feeling insecure. Hindi tulad noon.

Maybe because, iba ang trato ni Light sa kanya, iba ang paraan nito para idate siya, iba rin ang klase ng pagmamahal nito sa kanya at sa anak niya.

She grew up watching them, silently wishing na sana siya ang nasa tabi ni Light at hindi si Vyel.

But looking at them now, she doesn't mean to compare. But, there's a lot of things that she has, na hindi naibigay ni Light kay Vyel.

"May rason ka kung bakit mo yun naitabi, I'm not mad nor jealous, Luca." Vyrlle said.

"You're not going to get mad at me for building a small village because of my foolishness?" Maingat na tanong nito sa kanya.

"A small village? For what?" Kumunot ang noo niya nang hindi agad makasagot si Light sa tanong niya.

"Can we talk about it later? Hindi ako iiwas." Light assured her.

Napipilitan na tumango si Vyrlle sa gusto nito. Her eyes roamed around, well, a fast food chain wasn't a good place to talk about his secrets. But she has a feeling na kasama ang kapatid at pinsan niya sa pinaggagawa ni Light.

After eating, naglibot pa silang dalawa sa mall. Buying cute outfits for her daughter, na halos si Light ang pumili. Vyrlle sighed heavily, para niyang nakikita ang Ate Isabella nila sa katauhan ni Light. He's not even looking at the price tag, kuha lang ito ng kuha.

"Luca, that's enough. Isa lang ang katawan ng anak ko, hindi niya 'yan maisusuot lahat." Pigil niya kay Light nang akmang kukuha na naman ito ng isang pares.

Hindi rin naman mananatili na baby ang anak niya. Basically, lahat ng mga damit niya ngayon, ido-donate niya sa orphanage.

Tumingin sa kanya si Light, pagkatapos ay sa damit na hawak nito.
