Meant To Be Yours

✓Part 3- Stop Them

I Have To Stop Them

(Hale POV)

On my way to the airport and Chase is with me. Hindi ko alam kong tama bang isama ko siya para sunduin sina Angie at Isaac.

Nasa loob lang kami ng kotse ko while waiting for Isaac and Angie to arrive. Sumandal ako ng maayos sa upuan at inadjust ito pahiga ng konti para makasandal ako ng maayos. Pumikit ako at pinakinggan ang sarisaring tunog na nasa paligid ko. Tunog ng mga sasakyan, paglipad ng eroplano at mga boses ng mga tao.

Sa oras na makita ni Chase si Angie at Isaac alam kong masasaktan siya ng husto. Kakayanin niya kaya?

But I know Chase, she prove to me how brave she was, she might not be as strong as she appeared. While deep in her I am certain that she was keeping pains. Chase was a woman who acted cool and chill with pain inside.

Minulat ko ang mga mata ko.
Nakita ko na sina Isaac at Angie na papalapit sa sasakyan.

A bewildering swirl of emotions cascaded through me at the sight of  Chase looking pale watching Isaac getting close.

Annoyance filled me looking at Chase face. She looked s
panicking. She needs make up to cover her gloomy face.
Today she wore a plain fit black dress that showed curve of her lean hips.
A silky brown hair swept forward to cascade over one delicate collarbone, wala siyang sout na kahit hikaw kwentas man lang.  Tanging buhok niya lang ang nakatakip sa maliit niyang mukha. Baka sa sobrang pagmamadali at excitement na makitang muli ang kaibigan kong si Isaac.

Para bang nararamdaman ko ang sakit na nararamdaman niya. I didn't trust her ability to control this time. Let's see.

Ang tanga naman ni Isaac para di malaman kung gaano siya kagusto ni Chase samantalang kitang kita sa mga mata at kilos ni Chase ang pagkagusto nito sakanya. Matagal na silang magkakilala pero di niya man lang napansin. The way Chase face reddened everytime Isaac smile, the way she laugh at Isaac's lame jokes, that's so obvious! It irritates me!
Even as I'm  fumed in frustration, I became aware of something hot and disturbing lying beneath my irritation.
It was as if my anger had awakened. I can't explain what I'm feeling looking at Chase.

Isaac is a playboy, Chase knows that but she still choose to love him.
Naawa ako sakanya. Napaisimid ako. Ganon din ba ako kay Dustine?

Chase glance at me. With frame of sooty lashes, her eyes locked on me.

Parang nahiya siya bigla at namula ang mukha niya. She knows that I know about her deep feelings for Isaac kaya nahiya siyang nahuli ko ang mga tingin niya sa kaibigan ko. Napangiti ako. Unless I put color to her cheeks.

Napabalikwas ako nung may katok sa windshield ng kotse ko. Naiiritang tiningnan ko ito. Si Isaac nangangatok.

I shifted my eyes again to Chase. Her smile brightened with the sight of Isaac.

I clenched my fist and block Chase eyes opening my car door for Isaac and Angie.

“Look who’s here,” I murmured, indicating Isaac.

Chase turned her head and the warmth in her welcoming smile filled Isaac with blinding joy. Mukhang miss na miss nila ang isa't isa.

“Isaac.” Chase muttered excitedly.

“Mabuti naman at nakauwi na kayo,” sambit ko.
I gave Isaac's arm a squeeze. “Kumusta ang byahe Anj?" Baling ko kay Angie.
