Being His Slave [ UNDER REVISION ]

Chapter 26

Zyril's POV

"Huwag mong sabihing naniniwala ka sa kanya?" Tumaas ang kilay ni Bakla habang nakatingin sa akin.

I bit my lower lip. "I-I don't know…. I-I've never seen their bodies, right? So what if they are still—"

He held my hands. "You told me before that their bodies went missing after their car fell onto the water, right? So how would they survive if that water is really deep? Sobrang laki ng dagat na 'yun."

Simula nung sinasabi sa akin na patay na raw sila Mommy at Daddy, para akong nabagsakan ng langit ang lupa. Ang sabi sa akin ng pulis, ilang araw nila hinanap iyong kotse nila Mommy and Daddy, it took them 3 days before they finally found it, but no bodies found inside the car. Hinala nila na sa bintana sa may driver seat sila dumaan dahil bukas daw iyon pero wala silang kasiguraduhan na magtatagal sila sa tubig dahil daw sa lalim ng binagsak ng kotse nila. 

"I don't know. Malay mo naka survive sila?"

Nagkibit balikat si Kevin. "Naniniwala ka ba sa sinabi ng babaeng yun?"

"There's a part of me that believes in her. Like what if they were alive?" 

He became silent for a few seconds before he spoke, "If they were alive, then why did they let you suffer? Why did they hide from you? Why did they leave you with millions of debt? Why? Gawain ba ng matinong magulang 'yun? Hindi sympre!" ramdam ko ang galit niya.

"Masisisi mo ba ako na umaasa?" I tried my best not to cry.

"No, hindi kita masisisi sa ganiyan. Ang akin lang, I saw you what you had been through. Saksi ako sa lahat ng paghihirap mo, Bakla. From the bridge scene, kung saan ka tatalon, dun pa lang ramdam na kita, Bakla. From hearing you crying at night, hearing you blaming yourself, and seeing you became miserable, I was there. I saw that. I saw the pain in every words you said, every expression you wore…." I saw him trying to smile at me.

"But one day, I saw you with a smile, I saw your face full of hope. You really fought your past and faced a new challenge in life. I admire you a lot, Zy."

Hindi ko mapigilang hindi maiyak. "Bakla naman e, pinaiiyak mo ako." I wiped my tears with my fingers.

Ngumiti siya ng malawak. "If they were still alive, shame on them. They don't deserve you. Kung anuman ang rason nila bakit ka nila iniwan, nakakahiya pa rin sila kung sasabihin nilang mahihiya sila magpakita sayo." Umirap siya.

Hindi ko siya masisisi kung bakit siya may galit. His dad left them when he was so young. His father said he had work abroad and told him he would come back after 2 years but it didn't happen. His mom raised him and his mom became a successful businesswoman. He was in Grade 6 when he found out that his Dad flew abroad to meet a woman. Simula noon nagkaroon na siya ng galit sa Papa niya.

When he reached his high school, his Dad came back and asked for forgiveness. They forgave him but soon, they found out that he only wanted their money. Kaya simula nun, nagkaroon na siya ng galit sa tatay niya.

I heard him sigh deeply. "But then, ayoko kita pangunahan. Is it your choice if you want to be mad or want to forgive them. Your decision." He smiled.

I smiled at him. This is what I love about him, he really respects your choices and decisions in life. Minsang wala siyang preno but later on, he will realize that making decisions for others is a big no.

I hugged him and he hugged me back. He is just like a brother to me. Kung lalaki siguro ito, maybe I would fall for him. But it's really impossible because I'm still in love with a guy named Lawrenzo Mendez.
