Her Greatest Downfall

Chapter 51: His doings for the last two years

HGD51

Mabigat ang pakiramdam ko nang nagising ako kinaumagahan. I sighed when I realize the pain and the problem that I've been carrying the moment I step again here in the Philippines.

Maaga palang ay gumayak na ako. Plano ko sana na sa labas na lang muna kumain. Kung maaari sana ay ayaw kong maka-usap si Ram. Kung kakausapin ko man sya ay iyon na ang araw na aalis ako para iwan syang muli.

That's for the better right? Maybe I wasn't really belong on his arms. Only if I distance myself from him I wouldn't feel this kind of heartache again.

Marahan akong bumaba sa hagdan bitbit ang clutch bag ko. I wore a simple off-shoulder mustard color dress pair with stilletoes. I even wore a sunglasses since my eyes were kinda swollen for the tears last night.

Tahimik akong nananalangin na sana ay hindi ko masalubong si Ram palabas ng bahay pero bago pa man ako makahakbang sa ikahuling baitang ng hagdan ay narinig ko na ang boses nya. Nakatayo sya sa harapan ko, nakapamulsa ito at taimtim na nakatinggin saakin.

"Where are you going?" He asks in a deep voice.

Ramdam na ramdam ko ang mabilis at malakas na pagtibok ng puso ko. Para bang hindi ako makahinga habang sinasalubong ang kanyang mga mata. There's something on him that I couldn't tell, one thing is so sure, his eyes were captivating and I feels so hipnotize the way he stares at me.

I cleared my throat trying to sounds normal. "I'll go and eat breakfast outside" simple kong sagot at sinubukang humakbang para sana lagpasan sya pero nahawakan nya ang braso ko dahilan para matigil ako sa paglakad. I gulp when I saw his hand on my arm, his calloused hand was so warm and good on my skin.

"I cooked. Dito ka na kumain" anito na para bang isang normal na araw lamang ito.

I blink trying to declined his offer since I am trying to avoid him.

"No thanks. I prefer to eat outside tho" I said and smile.

"Alright then." He said and he let go my arm.

I placed a few strands of my hair on my face towards the back of my ear.

Naglakad na ako pero hindi ko pa man nararating ang pintuan nang magsalita sya. Papalapit sya sa pwesto ko,mukhang may kinuha lang kanina.

"Let's go" aniya. Napakurap ako sa sinabi nya.

Huh?

"Let's go, let's eat breakfast outside then" aniya at nauna pang naglakad palabas ng bahay.

What the hell happened?

He open his car door for me to enter. He even positioned his hand in the air like he was telling me to get in.

"W-What? B-Bakit sasama ka pa?" Tanong ko. Nakita ko ang pag-awang ng labi nito.

"Kasi gusto ko?" Alanganing sagot nito.

"I didn't invite you to eat with me so--" I was composing for the next words but he interrupt

"I invite myself. So, shall we?" aniya at ngumiti.

My lips parted on his sudden gestures. Bakit ba sya sasama? Hindi ba obvious na gusto kong umiwas sakanya? Hindi ba halata na ayokong maka-usap sya?

"If you're coming with me just because you wanted to talk about yesterday and about my expenses on your house, can you please wait for a while? You see, I am doing my best to leave you as soon as possible---"

"Hindi." Aniya.

"Huh?" I ask

"Hindi natin pag-uusapan yan. I just wanted to eat a breakfast with someone today" aniya.
