The Broken Heart (Business Series 1)✔️

Chapter 17

Accident

"So what if I'm jealous, Eris?" Lumapit siya sa akin.

Napaatras ako sa ginawa niya. Lalo itong lumapit sa akin kaya napaatras muli ako. Kunot ang noo ko siyang pinasadahan ng paningin. He just gave me a poker and cold face. Don't tell me he was still upset of what happened earlier? When Allen put his hand on my shoulder?

"W-What are you d-doing?" Nauutal kong tanong hindi makatingin ng diretso sa mga mata nito.

"Why do you look scared? Do I look like I'm gonna hurt you?" His deep yet hoarse voice.

My heart suddenly raced as if I'm gonna have an heart attack. I massage my fingers trembling at my back to calm down myself. I swallowed the lump in my throat and heaved a deep breath before I meet his gaze.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako kinakabahan sa kan'ya ngayon. He was looking at me intently like we're just the two of us around. Mariin ang tingin nito sa akin na tila pakiramdam ko binabasa niya ang reaksiyon ng mukha.

"Who said I'm scared?" Matapang ko ring sagot sa kan'ya habang hindi inaalis ang titig sa kaniya.

"That's good, then. I thought you were scared to me. Let's go." He open me the door while smirking.

What's with his mood? Kanina lamang sa ay para'ng galit siya tapos ngayon ay naka ngisi na sa aking harapan. I tilted my head before I stepped inside his car. Lumibot ito sa kabila at pumasok sa kotse. Sumandal ako sa headrest dahil naramdaman ko ang pagsakit ng aking ulo. Maybe it was because of the hot weather. I heard Silas starting the car engines but I felt his gaze at me.

"Are you okay?" I could hear the concern and worry in his voice.

Tumingin ako sa gawi niya at marahan na tumango bilang tugon sa kan'yang tanong. He didn't remove his eyes on me.

"I'm fine Silas. Napagod lang lang ako sa paglalakad kanina. You should look at the road not on me. Baka madisgrasya tayo kung tingin ka nang tingin sa akin."

Nakita ko naman na sinunod nito ang ang sinabi ko nasa kalsada na siya nakatingin ngayon. Nakataas ang dalawang makapal na kilay at nakakunot ang noo na tila may malalim na iniisip.

"Why did you walk anyway? You could ride on tricycle or whatever. And why did that bastard let you walked? At iniwan ka pa niya rito na maglakad ng mag-isa." He said gruffly.

I chuckled. Bakit ba galit na galit siya kay Allen? Wala namang ginawang masama 'yong tao sa kan'ya. And Allen is a gay for fucking sake's? But I won't say it to him because I promised to my friend that I won't reveal his secret to anyone.

"Don't be jealous of Allen." I uttered.

Agad itong lumingon sa akin dahil sa sinabi ko. I realized that Silas is really serious when he said to me that he will court me. Hindi ko naman kasi inaasahan na totohanin niya talaga iyon dahil hindi naman siya 'yong tipo ng lalaki na magseseryuso sa isang babae. I admit that I doubt his intention to me but when days passed I can see that he's really true to his words I can see it on how he made efforts.

He was consistent on taking me home and giving me flowers even I'm not fan of it. And he respect my decision on every situation even it hurting him. Akala ko nga hindi siya tatagal ng araw at susuko na ito. But I'm wrong he didn't stop pursuing me. Dalawang linggo na rin niya akong niligagawan.

Nakiusap ako sa kan'ya na isekreto lang muna namin iyon na pumayag naman siya kahit hindi bukal sa kalooban niya. But there's is still a part of me that afraid of it. Nakakatakot ako na isipin na kung saan ang kahahantungan nito kapag ipinagpatuloy ko pa. Entertaining him is already a big risk. Lalo na't nanggaling siya sa isang kilala sa kilalang pamilya.
