BRYCE'S POV
Natalie left.
Natalie left.
I stared at the door.
Natalie left.
Dammit. DAMMIT!
Sigurado akong may kasalanan si Ollie dito. He must've said something that triggered her memory.
Dammit.
Agad akong nagbihis at pumunta sa kumpanya. I was on the lobby nang makita ko si Ollie.
I got over to him and punched him. Nahulog siya at nakatingin sa akin.
"WHAT THE HELL, MAN?!" sabi niya.
I pulled him by the shirt. "ANONG SINABI MO KAY NATALIE?!" I asked.
"Ano--" He smiled at me. Triumphant.
Sinuntok ko ulit si Ollie. "DAMN YOU!"
Hindi na siya nakasuntok kasi meron nang naghila sa amin papalayo. I tried getting our of their grasps but I couldn't. All I saw was Kuya Kane and his hands were on my shoulders.
"Bryce! Stop it!" sabi niya sa akin.
Nahimasmasan ako. I realized that there was a painful sensation in my right hand.
"Take him to his office." sabi ni Kuya sa mga taong nakahawak sa akin.
Ollie was smiling maniacally at me. Halatang meron nga siyang sinabi.
Dammit.
...
"Ano nanamang katangahang pinaggagawa mo, Bryce?" tanong ni Kuya Kane sa akin.
Binebenda ko ang namamagang kamay ko at tumingin ako kay Kuya. "None of your business."
"You do know that what you did would reflect on all of us." sabi ni Kuya.
"I don't care." I murmured. Tumayo ako at naglakad papunta sa minibar. I took out a decanter and poured in all of the whiskey.
"You aren't supposed to be here." sabi sa akin.
Tinignan ko siya. "It's my office. Ikaw ang hindi dapat nandito."
"Ano bang problema mo, Bryce? Una, sinuntok mo si Oliver. Ngayon, galit na galit ka sa akin." Kuya Kane said. "At sa pagkakaalam ko, dad gave you a time-off para sa anniversary niyo ni Natalie."
I nearly broke the glass that I was clutching.
"Seriously, bro. Anong problema mo?"
I turned back at binaba ko ang baso. "Natalie remembers everything."
Natawa lang si kuya. I clenched my fist. "And that's a bad thing?"
I braced my hands on my table. "She remembers everything. Every. Single. Thing. Even the reason why she got into the accident in the first place."
"And that is...?" Kuya Kane prompted.
I pounded on the table. "NAKITA NIYANG HALOS HUBO'T-HUBAD SI STELLA NA NAKAUPO SA KANDUNGAN KO!"
I felt the air stiffen.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!" Kuya asked. Narinig ko mga yabag niya at bigla niya akong hinila sa mga kwelyo ko. "SINAKTAN MO SI NATALIE!"
He cornered me on the wall.
"WHAT. THE. HELL. DID. YOU. DO. TO. HER." sabi ni Kuya Kane sa akin.
