Dangerous Rose

dangerous chapter six

|All For Nothing|

   
     "Tama na." Sabi ni Rose kay Henry.

Hindi tumitigil ang pagtulo ng luha nya. Nakayuko lang sya at nakapatong ang isa nyang kamay sa hita, at ang isa naman ay hawak hawak ni Henry. Nakatitig lang ito sakanya. Lungkot at awa sa mukha ang makikita sakanya. Pinisil nya ang kamay ni Rose.

"Sabihin mo, Rose..." Hinawakan ni Henry ang mukha ni Rose at iniharap ito sakanya, pinanusan nya ang luha na tumutulo sa mukha nito, "who raped you?" He softly and gently asked.

Mas lumakas ang tulo ng luha ni Rose dahil dito. Pero pinupunasan iyon ni Henry gamit ang hinlalaki nya. He cupped her face, rubbing it gently, "please tell me. And I'll help you fight for this-"

"Stop!" Tumayo si Rose at lumayo kay Henry. Hindi tumitigil ang pagtulo ng luha nito. At galit na tumitig kay Henry, "I can't trust anyone right now." She was breathing deeply. Her hands clenched into fists.

Tumayo din si Henry sa harap nya, "p-pero, Rose. Like I said," he came closer, "I'm not like them. You can trust me." He sincerely said to her. Pero nang hahawakan nya ang braso nito para pakalmahin, ay agad umiwas ito,

"No," mahina at takot na sabi ni Rose. Hindi pa din ito tumitigil sa pag iyak, "just no." Lowering her head, and rubbing her shoulders.

"Rose..." He murmured.

She shook her head, and not looking at him, "I'm tired. Matutulog na 'ko, " tumingin muna ito sa mata ni Henry at matapang na pinunasan ang isang natitirang luha sa pisngi nya, "Goodnight, Henry." pagkatapos 'non ay mabilis na umalis si Rose sa harap ni Henry.

His mouth fell open. Blinking his darkened eyes.

He sighed sharply and closing his eyes deeply.

I hope that someday you're ready to tell all about it, Rose.

Sabi ni Henry sa kanyang sarili. Pagkatapos 'non ay naglalakad na sya papunta sa loob ng bahay. Bumaba muna sya para uminom ng tubig. Galit parin sya sa lahat ng nangyari kay Rose.

His hands clenched into fist, and slightly punch the counter of the kitchen, once, twice, again and again. Hanggang sa may nakita syang anino. Hinawakan nito ang braso ni Henry at hinaplos,

"Henry? Anong problema, anak?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Yaya Jean.

Lumingon si Henry para harapin si Yaya Jean. Taking a deep breath.

"Nothing."

She slapped his arms, "sabihin mo na."

He bit his lip in frustration, and sighed once again, "I'm almost there, Yaya. Kaso lang..." Rubbing his shoulder, "kaso lang takot pa din syang sabihin ang lahat sakin e." Malungkot na sabi nito.

Hinaplos ulit ni yaya Jean ang braso nya, having a bid sigh, "Henry,anak, kailangan mo maghintay. Maybe nat-trauma pa rin sya sa nangyayari?" Sabi nya.

"P-pero, Yaya Jean... Iba yung feeling ko eh. Feeling ko..." He lowered his head,

"she didn't trust me. She didn't even mentioned the names of persons who hurt her " he sadly said to her.
