Sweet Lies 1: Smitten By Your Touch [COMPLETED]

Kabanata 33

Maggy's POV

Pauwi na ako galing sa condo ni Ate Karina. Habang naglalakad ay may humila ng kamay ko. Hinarap ko ito at napatigalgal. Literal na lumaki ang mga mata ko.

"Maggy...anak."

"What are you doing here?" niyakap nya ako.

My mother, Miriana Dela Fuente. Bumangon ang galit sa dibdib ko. Itinulak ko sya.

"I thought you were dead. You— you were the reason why we fell! Daddy took his own life because of what you did—"

"No, anak! No! Hindi ko akalain na lalaki ang utang ko, I was scammed—"

"I hate you! You don't know how much we suffered! Ipinangalan mo pa talaga ang lahat kay Daddy—"

"I was meaning to pay it all. Walang nagtitiwala sa pangalan ko because the industry knows I cheated on your Dad—"

"You named all your debts after him."

"At iyon ang pinagsisisihan ko. Martini treated me right but I can't do the same to him. Please, give me a chance, Maggy—"

"No!"

"If you won't give me a chance then I want you to listen to me— just for once. Stay away from that Demitri." napakurap kurap ako.

"I saw you came out of his car— you were with a child. Nagpabuntis ka pa talaga sa lalaking yon? Magiging bastardo ang anak mo dahil ikakasal na sya—"

"Tama na, Mommy! Please! I can do whatever I want! Hindi ko kailangan ang opinyon mo!" nagulat ako ng sampalin nya ako.

"Room 201, at Deuxx Hotel. I will tell you everything." nagface mask ito at umalis sa harapan ko. Ikinuyom ko ang kamao ko. What the h*ll is her problem?!

Pagkabalik ko sa mansyon ni Seige ay napatulala ko. This place is so quiet. Wala rin si Seige— mukhang pumasok ng trabaho.

Naglakad ako papunta sa kwarto na tinutulugan ko pero agad ding natigilan.

"Hera..."

"Where's Blue?" napayuko ako. Di nya pa pala alam.

"I'm sorry for not correcting you. Blue is not my son."

"I see. That's why he doesn't look like you." tumango tango ito. She had her own hunch.

"Oh! I just came here to look for Seige. Wala kasi sya sa office nya. Did you know where he went?"

"Hindi rin po nagsabi si Sei— si Sir Seige."

"Should I just call off the engagement? You know, I had a feeling..."

"Po?"

"That he's cheating on me." napalunok ako.

"I am your friend, right? Can I ask for a favor?" wala sa sariling tumango.

"Let me know if may pumupuntang babaeng di mo kilala dito. It's a woman instincts. Pakiramdam ko may kabit talaga sya—"

"Wala naman po."

"Don't say po or opo to me, treat me as a friend. Also, were the same age." hinawakan nya ang kamay ko.

"I only have few friends, wala pa ata sa lima. I want you to be one of them. You are a good person, I trust you. Please, don't break my trust." I bit my lips. We cheated on her.

Tumango ako.

"Sige, Hera." she hugged me. I am sorry.

Nang makaalis si Hera ay agad akong nag impake ng damit. I can't be with Seige. I don't want to break Hera's heart. I will leave. Kung mananatili ako sa tabi nya ay masasaktan ito ng sobra.

Nang makarating sa bahay ko ay napaiyak na lang ako. Hera and Seige, they should be together.

Gabi na nang magising ako. Kumakalam ang sikmura ko. Di muna ako kakain ngayong gabi. I hugged myself. Wala akong electric fan at madilim din. But somehow, I feel cold. Humikbi ako.

I miss him. I miss Seige. But, I have to do this.

"I can't believe you left like that." napakurap kurap ako. It's him. It's his voice.

"Paano ka nakapasok?"

"It was easy." huminga ito ng malalim.

"You left me again."

"You should be with Hera."

"I will not marry her."

"She loves you." narinig ko ang paghinga nito ng malalim.

"I love you." dapat saya ang maramdaman ko pero mas lalo akong nasaktan.

"Leave, Seige." yumakap ito sa akin.

"I am sorry for what I have done." tumulo ang mga luha ko.

"We can't be together. Just stop, Seige. We were already done—" he started kissing my neck.

"Please, stop." tumigil ito at naramdaman ko na lang ang pag alis nya sa tabi ko.

"I'll leave. I am sorry, Maggy."
