Unexpected Love | COMPLETED

Chapter Forty - Eight : Puzzled

IVONE'S POV.

I woke up feeling something heavy in my head. I could almost scream when I try to sit. Iminulat ko ang mata ko, my eyes were also sore. The feeling was killing me inside, slowly, it was terrible. And plus this, I had a very terrifying nightmare. I still couldn't get over what happened last month. Kahit na isang buwan na ang nakalilipas ay sariwa pa rin iyon sa isipan ko. Valerie kept on sending me text messages, and what's worse is that... she has my Dad.

Kaya naman kahit na gustuhin kong ipagpatuloy ang relasyon namin ni Zayden, na labagin ko ang nakasulat sa kontrata, I can't. Because if I do such a thing, my Dad's life will depend on it. Nalaman ko rin na kaya pala nawawala si Daddy ay dahil kinuha siya ni Valerie. If only I could kill, I would. But God won't let me enter His castle if I do that. I walked towards my bathroom, my feet still weak, hindi ko alam kung bakit. I just don't feel myself today. It's not the usual feeling. Hinilamusan ko ang mukha ko, I looked at the mirror and asked myself, what did I do to experience this? Did I sinned?

Isang buwan na rin akong hindi nakikipag-usap sa kahit kanino bukod sa mga De Irio, pero kina Zyle at Kenzi? Hindi, kahit nga kina Zero ay hindi ako nakikipag-usap. What happened brought a big effect on me, and that effect was bad. Nangyari na naman, pinapili na naman ako ng putangina. Gusto ko ngang matawa, ano ba ako? Some sort of contestant? That I'd have to choose between cash and a house with it's freaking lot? I felt guilt as I read Zayden's messages and calls from last night. Again, I was deleting it. I went to my gallery, paniguradong nag-send siya ng picture naming dalawa, at dahil nga naka-auto save ang lahat ng pictures na isesend niya, it would just go to my gallery. I deleted every message, even his number, our pictures together. It was as if I was deleting him from my life.

I heard my brother calling me, he was knocking at my door. I opened it. The light outside made my eye sore even more, my eyes were half opened. Pumasok siya sa kwarto. I stayed silent as I walk towards my bed and sat there. He followed me, lumuhod siya sa harap ko. His eyes were sad, narinig ko rin ang pagbuntong-hininga niya.

"I know it's hard for you. But can you attend class?" Mahinahon niyang tanong sa'kin.

"Of course, I can. Ganoon pa rin naman ang gagawin ko, nothing's gonna change. I'll watch Valerie hug Zayden, p-papanoorin ko silang dalawa. And I will just get hurt again. M-Madali lang 'yon, C-Chase. Sanay n-na rin naman ako."

And that was the truth. The bitch was true to her word, that she would have Zayden again. Wala naman akong dapat gawin, ignoring him was like breaking up with him. Or not? I really don't know. My mind is not in the right shape.

"Cres, you know that I'm always here for you right?" He asked as he cupped my face with his bare hands. I looked at him and nodded. "You got this. I know you do." Aniya.

Kakayanin ko. I will rise up again. I will try. I have to.

"Please wait for me outside, I'll just get dressed." I said to him.

Nang matapos ako sa mga dapat kong gawin ay bumaba na ako ng hagdan. Nandoon si Ivan Chase sa sala, nakaupo sa sofa at mukhang may ka-text. I bet it's Jazine again. Mukhang hindi niya ako napapansin kaya tumayo lang ako doon. May kaunting inggit akong nadama pati lungkot ay isama na rin. I let out a small cough. Lumingon siya sa akin. I kinda feel bad because he had to end his conversation with Jazine, though. Tumayo siya at naglakad papalapit sa akin, sabay kaming lumabas ng bahay at dumeretso sa kotse. I don't use my car. Kahit na may kotse ako ay ayaw kong gamitin.
