Chase Obsession

Chapter Eight

Chandra walked back to her room when she noticed that it's unlocked. She walked in. Buhay ang ilaw sa loob. Ibinaba niya sa ibabaw ng kama ang maliit niyang bag at saka ginala ang paningin.

Hindi pa nagtatagal ang mga mata niya sa paglilibot ng lumabas sa banyo si Chase. "What are you doing here?" She immediately asked him.

Chase still wearing his black long sleeve polo. Kasabay niya lang ito kaninang umaga na umalis. And Tita Mandie said, that Chase has a meeting with new investors. "Ikaw. Saan ka galing?" He ask instead.

Bakit niya itinatanong? As far as she remember, he has nothing to do with her life. Pero natagpuan nalang niya ang sariling sinasagot ang tanong nito. "I went out with JR."

She saw his eyebrows twisting in irritation. She heaved a sigh at hindi na ito inintindi. JR needs her kaya pinaunlakan niya ito. They're good friends and friends should stood with each other even in times of need. Madalas talaga ay nagkakausap sila ni JR. Madalas din ay nagkikita sila. Bukod doon, Mr Sean Medina. JR's father already part of their business.

Matagal bago tumitig si Chase sa kanya. Kaya siya na ang nag iwas ng tingin. "Kung wala ka namang kailangan sakin. Lumabas kana dahil gusto ko nang magpahinga." She said, while passing by and walked inside her walk-in closet. She grabbed her pajamas and bring it all inside the bathroom.

Pagod na pagod siya. She felt her toes and knees wiggling. Wala yata silang ginawa ni JR kung di maglakad ng maglakad. At idagdag pa na nakahigh-heel shoes siya. After wearing her pajamas, lumabas siya ng banyo. Chase was still inside her room. He's leaning on the wall at nakasuksok ang dalawang kamay sa loob ng bulsa. "Are you here to guard me all night?" She smirked.

"Hindi ko alam na close na pala kayo ng kaibigan ko." He even emphasize the word kaibigan after he set his bloody eyes on her.

Umirap siya. "Ano naman kung close kami? Bawal na ba ako makipagkaibigan sa kaibigan niya mo?" Napipikon na tanong niya.

Ito ang isa sa dahilan kaya kung minsan tinatamad siyang umuwi sa bahay na ito. Chase will always provoked her until she gave in and cry. Hindi niya alam kung bakit nakakaramdam ito mg kakaibang satisfaction kapag nakikitang naiinis siya at nagagalit dito. "Tigilan mo na ang pakikipagkita sa kanya." He firmly said.

Namilog ang mga mata niya. Since they were kids, she doesn't understand why he's acting so different. Why he always forbid her to do whatever she likes. To have whatever she wants. To be with the people who make her happy. There's no logical reason why he's acting so weird-protective-fake-brother when ever since he dislike her. He dislike the idea of her being his sister! "And why would I do that? Are you Papa now?"

Nagtagis ang bagang nito. "Believe me, I'm doing this for you." Bumugtong hininga ito. "Layuan mo siya at wag ka nang lalapit sa kanya."

Napapantastikuhang tumawa siya. "Lunatic!"

Pinagkrus niya ang braso sa dibdib at naiinis na tinitigan muli ito. "I am Chandra Sandoval, Single. In legal age. Legal na magtrabaho. Legal na mamasyal at Legal na makipagkilala sa iba. And you. You are Chase Sandoval. In legal age but in immature mind. Always ruined my happiness. Always made my head burn in anger. Always forbid me. Always insulting me. At palaging pinamumukha sakin na sampid ako."

"Say whatever you like to say pero lalayo ka kay JR. You wouldn't see him again. Susundin mo ako at makikinig ka sakin." He said. Lumakad ito sa pintuan. Hinawakan nito ang knob at saka akmang pipihitin. Pero mabilis siyang nakatalon sa kama at hinabol ito.

Hinablot niya ang braso nito at hinarap ito. Galit na dinuro niya ito. "Hindi na ako bata na palaging susunod sayo! Hindi na ako bata na palaging iiiyak sa isang tabi dahil pinagbabawalan mo! Hindi na ako tangang magpapadala sa mga kaistriktuhan mo! Ang sama sama ng ugali mo! Anong akala mo sakin? Wala nang karapatang makipagkaibigan? Hindi ko susundin ang gusto mo dahil gusto mo lang. So stop meddling my life!" Hinahapong tumulo ang luha niya. Buong buhay niya, wala na siyang natikman kung di ang mga pagsusungit nito. Ang pagpaparamdam nito sa kanya na hindi siya nito gustong maging kapatid. "Mula palang mga bata pa tayo hindi mo na ako gusto. You don't like me as your sister. You hate me everytime I'm around. Why you have to be so cruel?"

Silence crossed. She let her tears pouring down to her eyes. Yumuko siya at tinignan ang sahig. Pumapatak doon ang luha niya. She saw his feet moving. Moving forward and she felt his palm of her shoulder. "Yes, I don't like you from the start." Pain filled her heart. It's aching and bleeding. "I don't like you. I honestly don't like you. I don't like you to be my sister. Because I only like you---for myself. For myself only."
