Billionaire's Runaway Fiance (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10: Runaway

"Are you okay?" Gregory sat in front of me, then put down our coffee on the table. "Yeah, it's just that I uh feel thorn. Like, I don't know what to do anymore!" Saad ko at naka pangalumbaba sa mesa. I feel very, very stressed out! Gregory chuckled boyishly. "Why? Yo, my best friend must be so sure of you to give you that heirloom."

"Eh kaya nga na s-stress ako eh!" I breathed heavily. "Tangina, this is supposed to be just for convenience. What is he doing?"

"I feel so much pressure!"

"Yeah, but what can you do? He is dead serious with you. I am his best friend. I know him very well, Jade." All I could do was inhale and exhale in that talk. I feel like no one understands me. Even Greg, who used to be my comfort buddy.

"Dad ayoko na neto. Ayoko ng makasal!" Para na akong nababaliw. Bakit hindi nila ako maintidihan? Bakit sila ganito? Bakit? Bakit hindi nila kayang isipin ang nararamdaman ko? Bakit parang pakiramdam ko pinanganak lang ako para sa responsibilidad. Para ma ahon ang company? "Jade. We have talked about this already!" His voice was scary that I shivered. "What is it again, ha? Why?"

"Dad! Ayoko na nga kase! Hindi ko kaya!" Maktol ko pa. "And here I thought you and Ethan are doing good?" Yes, but I couldn't be this soft. I was never like this. Ni hindi ko na kilala ang sarili ko! I hate it! I hate it very much! I shouldn't feel this fucking way! "Na p-pressure ka at hindi kana makapag inom? Party? Ano ka bang bata ka?!"

"Dad hindi mo ba ako ma gets gets talaga?" I looked straight into his eyes, and he looked away. "You must be tired. Go to your room now and rest." Saad nito bago ako talikuran at lumabas ng library. I breathed heavily, helplessly. Para na nga ata akong zombie ngayon eh, parang kaluluwang nakalutang.

"Why ba hindi nila ako ma gets?" Ibinagsak ko ang sarili sa kama at tumingala sa cream white ceiling ng kuwarto ko. Then, my phone rang. Pagod na tinignan ko lang yon sa bedside table at hindi ginalaw. Wala akong lakas makipag usap sa mga tao ngayon. It's been a week since the last time I saw him. "Nagtataka na rin panigurado yon, even his calls dalawang beses ko lang ata nasasagot. And his messages, tipid lang din ang replies ko." Hayst.

"Eh naku, nagka sagutan ata yan ng daddy nya kahapon eh. At saka dalawang araw na rin yan nilalagnat." Na alimpungatan ako sa boses na 'yon ni manang. I open my eyes slowly. "Talaga ho ba? She isn't answering my calls. I was worried sick. Ah, ako na lang ho ang magpapakain sa kanya nito." I saw manang went out of the room. Dahan dahan naman akong bumangon at sumandal sa headrest ng kama.

"Hey, you're awake." I sighed. "Here, you should eat." Unti unti s'yang lumapit at nilapag naman ang tray na may lamang pagkain. Bacon, egg with toasted bread, coffee, and orange juice. "Thanks." Saad ko sa paos na boses. I don't even remember how I fell asleep last night. Nag umpisa na lang akong kumain at hindi na s'ya tinignan pa ng mag salita ito.

"Tito talked to me." I heard him sigh heavily. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry if you feel pressured."

"C-can we not talk about it?"

Wala akong ganang makipag usap sa kahit kanino. Lugmok na lugmok ako. Damn. Kung bakit naman na kase nangyayare to sa akin eh! Pagka tapos kong kumain ay naligo na rin ako at dinala naman ni Ethan sa baba ang pinagkainan ko. I went inside my walking closet and then fixed myself. Wala akong lakad ngayon, I just wore a pajama set, at naka lugay ang buhok. Feeling ko tamad na tamad ako! Ohh goodness. Feel ko malapit na ang period ko.

I on the TV and played my favourite show. Pumasok naman si Ethan na may dala dalang bouquet ng tulips. I raised a brow when he handed me those. "What is this for?" I asked as I held the flowers. Smells good. "For you." Inirapan ko na lang to at inamoy pa ang bulaklak. "Thanks."

"So close yet so far." Bumulong bulong pa to. "Hah? Ano yun?" Umiling na lang to at nag punta sa kabilang side ng kama para ma upo. "Hindi ka na ba nilalagnat? Can I check?" I nodded, and he touched my head to my neck. And damn my dirty mind thinking of him and I on his bed fucking! What the hell is happening with me? I just hated him! Ayoko ngang makasal pa sa kanya eh!

"Hmm, may sinat ka pa. Mag pahinga ka at magpa galing. Kay?" I just nodded. I feel guilty and pressured again and again. "Thank you, Eth." Tumango lang to at mag konting ngiti sa labi.

"I thought we were finally good." He suddenly said. "I don't deserve you." I said and looked away. "How can you say that, though? Tsk. It's okay. Mag pahinga kana lang hmm?" Tumayo ito at binigyan ako ng halik sa noo, tumalikod at naglakad papunta sa pinto nang mag salita ako. "Itigil mo na please? If you truly like me, please?" I said with my begging voice. Ayoko na. Ayokong gamitin s'ya para lang sa kompanya. Ayokong ganito. Nalilito ako.

"Please, I am begging you?" But he didn't say anything and just left. He left and didn't contact me for days to weeks.

I went to Greg's condo and saw him packing his things. "Saan ba yon?"

"Somewhere people won't find me." And my mind was just clouded by my selfishness that I just wanna go with him and run away. Tangina wala akong pake sa gamit just wanna get out of this mess. "Bring me with you." Greg looked at me with a question. "Are you serious? Ikakasal ka sa best friend ko. Walang kasiguraduhan ang pag uwi ko dito." The more that I want to go with him. Ayoko bumalik rito, ayoko muna. "Gregory, I am serious."

"I am dead serious. I wanna run away. Please help me? Greg, I don't love him! Ayokong makasal, ayokong masakal ayokong manatili sa pilit na relasyon! Ayoko! So bring me!" He stared at me for a while. "Please? I am begging you."

"You sure wanna run away? But how about my friend? You'll leave him? It is obvious that he loves you–he said he loves you."

"The more that I wanna runaway! I can't accept his love, Greg! Ayoko pang matali! I'm so confused! Like masisira na ang ulo ko."

"Because Greg. It's you. It's you who I like from the very beginning. Manhid ka lang."

"What are you talking about, Kirsten Cassandra Jade Ynares?" Natigil to sa ginagawa at tinuon ang atensyon sa akin.

"I like you–no, I love you."
