Curse of Love [Free Space Series #2]

CHAPTER 57: She's The Worst

I lifelessly stared at my phone's screen, my heart beating fast, and I could feel my eyes tearing up. She's still the same. She still loves playing with my feelings.
 
Nanghihina ang mga kamay na pinatay ko ang phone at inilayo ito sa'kin. I shouldn't be crying over this. This was something I should have expected to happen in the first place. Of course, she'll choose him over me. Ano niya ba ako? I'm nothing but her second choice. 
  
Her secret.

Yumuko ako at tumitig sa sahig. I can feel my jaw clenching, and so is my fist. How the fuck did I keep getting played by the same woman over and over again?
 
"Bro, nakita mo na yung bagong labas na movie sa sine? Gago, nakakatawa, tignan mo." Itinapat ni Ayesha ang screen ng phone niya sa'kin. "Wait, wait mo lang, ayan na-"
 
I pushed her hand away and shook my head. Her face was filled with confusion, but I ignored her. Tumayo ako at nagsimulang maglakad. 
 
"Sa'n punta mo, Sab?" She asked, but I didn't say anything and just kept walking.
 
Naramdaman ko ang pagsunod niya sa'kin, tinatanong kung saan ang punta ko. I ignored her and began walking considerably faster. I'm not in the appropriate frame of mind to answer her. I'm scared I'll act violently, which could lead to us fighting.

Diretso kong tinahak ang daan palabas ng korokan. Hindi ko na nagawa pang magpaalam kay coach dahil alam kong hindi ko rin siya mabibigyan ng maayos na sagot.
 
"Pre, saan ka ba pupunta? Wala pang alas tres, pagagalitan ka niyan ni coach." 
 
Despite the thundering thump of my heart in my chest, I try to remain calm. Lalo na nang magsimula akong ituro ng mga bagong dating na skater dahil naagaw ko ang atensyon nila.

"Autograph-"

I raised my hand to refused. Nilagpasan ko sila habang naririnig ang panghihingi ng pasensya ni Ayesha sa likod.

"Bro! Okay ka lang ba? Ano yun?!" Ayesha has a worried look on her face.
 
Umiling ako at nilagpasan siya. Akala ko iiwan niya na ako pagtapos nun, pero hindi. Sinundan niya ako hanggang sa makalabas kami ng gate. 
 
"Bro! Ano bang nangyari?! Para ka namang tanga, 'di ka nagsasalita. May emergency ba-" 
 
"Sabrina!" A sudden shout caught both of our attention.

Pareho kaming huminto para tignan kung sino ito. It was Heather. At galit na galit siyang naglalakad papunta sa'kin, padabog na ibinabagsak sa semento ang mataas na takong na suot. 
 
"How dare you?!" 

Walang gana ko itong tinapunan ng tingin. "I have no time for this, Heather." I tried to get past her, but she violently grabbed my wrist.

"You had dinner with your ex last night?!" 
 
"It's just a friendly dinner." 
 
"Ha! And you want me to believe that?" A sarcastic laugh escaped from her lips. "Hindi ako pinanganak lang kahapon!" 
 
Irritation immediately filled my body. I stared at her, wishing that my patience could last any longer. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya at sapilitan itong tinanggal. Lalagpasan ko na sana s'ya kung hindi niya lang ako hinarangan ulit. Nagpipigil ng inis na tinignan ko siya.
 
"Please. Not now." I said emphatically. 
 
But I receive a slap from her, making my head turn a little to the side. 

"Holy shit," Ayesha whispered beside me, knuckles covering her mouth, and was completely shocked at the scenes she was witnessing. 
 
"Cheater!" 
 
I closed my eyes, and slightly shook my head. I ran a hand through my hair before looking back. Lumambot ang ekspresyon ng mukha ko nang makitang umiiyak siya. She pointed a finger at me, anger can be seen all over her face.
 
"Y-You s-said it w-was just a random girl from the bar, but I know she's not! She's not just a random girl! She's your ex!"

"Heather, no, she's not the girl-"
 
"Liar! It's just been weeks! Sa tingin mo maniniwala ako?!" 
 
"She has nothing to do with this-"
 
"I don't believe you!" Malakas na isinigaw niya.
