Hate The Way I Love You

Chapter 7

"Get your filthy hands off my hair!" I screamed as Erica continued to pull me. Napatayo ako at naramdaman ko ang sakit ng paghila niya sa aking buhok. Sinubukan kong tanggalin ang pagkakasabunot niya sa akin ngunit mahigpit ang kanyang hawak sa buhok ko. Malakas na ang bulungan sa paligid ng mga estudyanteng nanonood.

"What the hell, Erica!" I heard Hugh holler as I struggled against his girlfriend's hold.

"Huwag mo akong pipigilan, Hugh!" Erica hysterically screamed as she continued to pull my hair. "Napakalandi mong bata ka! Alam mong may girlfriend na si Hugh pero nilalandi mo pa rin siya!"

"Bitawan mo ako," I calmy said as I loosened my grip on her hands. I was not struggling anymore. Tapos na akong magtimpi sa babaeng ito. "Huwag kang makialam dito, Hugh," sabi ko kay Hugh nang makita ko siyang papalapit sa amin. "Bitawan mo ako, Erica," I repeated.

"Hell, no!" Erica screamed as she continued to pull my hair. I winced in pain but I let her do whatever she wanted. Siguraduhin mong worth it 'yang pananakit mo sa akin sa sakit ng katawan na mararamdaman mo mamaya, I thought silently. "Akala mo ba hindi ka pansin, ha?! Matagal mo nang nilalandi itong si Hugh! Malandi kang bata ka! Hindi tatalab sa akin ang ganyang ugali!"

"Fuck it, Erica sinabi ng tama na!" Hugh hissed as he moved closer to us.

"D'yan ka lang. Huwag kang lalapit dito," I commanded again but he paid no heed. Patuloy siya sa paglapit. "Hugh!" I warned and I saw from my peripheral vision that he stopped from his track. Bumuga siya ng hangin at napahilamos sa kanyang mukha.

"This is what you deserve! Para kang linta na lapit pa rin nang lapit sa mga lalaki kahit kay girlfriends na sila!"

"Tama na, Erica! We've already talked about this! Stop spreading rumors! Hindi kita girlfriend!" Hugh declared and I heard the oohs of the students.

"Not after you kissed me, Hugh! You've kissed me and I know you liked it!" hiyaw ni Erica at lalong lumakas ang bulungan ng mga estudyante. "Hahalikan mo ba naman ako kung hindi mo ako gusto?!"

"Erica!"

"You shut up! Mag-uusap tayo mamaya!" she bellowed. "I have to take care of this bitch first! Kailangan niyang matutuhan ang leksyon niya!" she furiously added. Hinawakan niya ang mukha ko at hinarap ito sa kanya. Nanlilisik ang kanyang mga mata. "This is what you deserve!" nanggigigil na sambit niya at nararamdaman ko ang pagbaon ng kanyang mga kuko sa aking magkabilang pisngi.

"Hands off me and this is your last warning," mahinahon pa rin na sabi ko sa kanya.

"Bakit ano'ng gagawin mo?" nanghahamong tanong niya. She even smirked at me and I knew I was done with all her bullshits.

"Ganito!" I angrily mumbled as I punched her squarely on the face with all my might.

She shrieked in pain. Narinig ko ang hiyawan at pagsinghap ng mga tao sa paligid nang bumagsak si Erica sa lupa. I simpered when I saw that her nose bleed.

When your family owns the largest and biggest company in the continent, it is just but natural that your parents would want you to know some self-defense. Of course, they fear that someone might hurt us to get their way into our company that's why Mom and Dad sent us to different self-defense sessions. I am a black belt in Taekwondo and I also do boxing and muay thai. At hindi iyon naisip ng babaeng ito at sugod lang siya nang sugod. I know how to punch, bitch!

"Kali!" hiyaw ni Hugh.

"D'yan ka lang!" I told him before I sat astride Erica. Lalong lumakas ang sigawan ng mga estudyante ng pagsusuntukin ko ang mukha niya.

"Ouch! Tama na! Stop! What the hell! It hurts!" tuloy-tuloy na sigaw niya. She tried to dodge my attacks but my fists landed straight to her face. She started crying but I was too angry to stop.
