Baby & Love? (COMPLETE)

Chapter 9

“You might as well want to see the girl who will destroy your pretty face! Ugh!” she pushed her face downwards to the ground kaya naitukod nya ang dalawang kamay. “You slut! Mang-aagaw ka!” she screamed. “I know the truth! Dylan told me na hindi nyo naman talaga nya anak ang god-forsaken baby na iyun! And just so you know, if ever Dylan would agree to marry you... its just going to be because he loved the baby and he was forced by Tita Elise!” she yelled at her face. 

“No one will force him Helga, he will have his decision followed and I will make sure of that.” she said. Dahil kahit sya ay hindi makakapayag na makasal dahil sa pilitan. Kaya nga kailangan nilang mag-usap ni Dylan para once and for all ay magkaliwanagan at magkaaminan na sila. 

“Oh? As much as I hate it…he will marry you…narinig mo yun? Tita said said he would marry you…” 

Sa sinabi nito ay hindi maipaliwanag na saya ang kanyang naramdaman. Kahit sa sitwasyong kinasadlakan nya ngayon where her face is about to be scrubbed to the rough pavement. 

“He will marry you…but don’t get your hopes up too high yet because he will only do that to save his inheritance and his position in their company.” 

As soon as what she said sank into her mind ay naramdaman nya ang muling pagkamatay ng kanyang pag-asa na kanina lang ay nag-umapaw sa unang sinabi ni Helga. 

“Yes! You heard it right… but Dylan will always have me… I’m gonna be your shadow that would always remind you that Dylan just like me…is the victim here!” Balak ni Helga na ilampaso ang kanyang mukha! At bagama’t nahihintakutan ay pinilit nyang manlaban bagaman at mas matangkad ito sa kanya and mayber her anger towards her makes her incredibly stronger. Nasukol na sya nito talaga dahil sa kanilang position ay nahihirapan na syang makabawi because she was under her. 

Bakit ba kasi walang tao sa paligid bigla?! 

Tumili sya ng ubod lakas nang malapit nang magpang-abot ang kanyang mukha at ang semento. 

Suddenly the hand on her head became lighter at ang isang kamay nito ay wala narin sa ulo nya. 

“Stop it!” screamed another voice which is very familiar to her. 

“Rachel!” she called when she caught Rachel behind Helga holding her other hand up. She took that opportunity para makatayo at makawala kay Helga na napunta kay Rachel sandali ang atensyon at sa ilang mga tauhan ng coffee shop na lumabas narin para awatin sila. 

Merong dalawang lalaking crew ang humawak sa nagpupumiglas na si Helga na balak ulit na sugurin sya at kung anu-ano na ang pinagsisigaw tungkol sa kanya. 

“Bitiwan nyo ako! Tuturuan ko lang ng leksyon yang maharot na yan!” she screamed. 

Nabingi sya bigla, at kung ano man ang mga nangyari pa nang mga sumunod na segundo ay hindi na nya namalayan. She regained her conciousness inside Rachel’s car nang magising ang kanyang diwa nang meron yata silang lubak na nadaanan. Nilingon nya ang kaibigan na tahimik na nagmamaneho papalapit sa Green Meadows entrance. 

“Are you okay na?” tanong nito not taking her eyes off the road. 

“Pasensya ka na Chel.” 

“Pag ako ba nasa sitwasyon mo hindi mo rin ako ipagtatanggol?” she asked. 

“Syempre naman!” she said. 

Rachel stopped the car and parked at the shoulder. 

“So will you start wiping those tears? Nababasa na ang damit mo oh!” binigay nito sa kanya ang tissue paper nito. That’s the only time she noticed na halos mabasa na nga ng luha nya ang damit nya sa bandang dibdib nya.
