The Devil's One and Only Love ★

Four-Devil in shining Hanky

Chapter Four

Steven's POV

"No, I'm not okay." she puts her face between her legs and cried harder.

"Hey, hey, hey. stop crying!" i said panicking.

all i can hear is her, snobbing and sniffing like crazy. umupo ako sa tabi nya saka tinapik tapik yung likod nya. nung di pa rin sya tumahan kinalong ko sya saka niyakap. parang baby lang. nakasubsob yung mukha nya sa dibdib ko habang umiiyak.

i keep on caressing her hair and let her cry.

nung medyo tumahan na sya pinunasan ko yung pisngi nya saka sya pinatayo. tumayo rin ako saka sya niyakap ulit.

"Angel, whats wrong?" i said softly. she shook her head and smile.

"wala? you were crying like there's no tomorrow tas wala?"

"can you buy me an ice cream? pleeease?" she said softly. she's still crying. nakayakap pa din ako sa kanya.

"Alright. lets go. wag na tayong pumasok. Alis nalang tayo." i said seriously. i wont let her go to class like this.

"but-"

"No Buts, master mo ko. makinig ka nalang sakin." i put my arms around her shoulder and guided her to the parking lot. i made sure na nakasubsob yung mukha nya sa dibdib ko umiiyak pa rin kasi sya. ang liit nya pa hanggang balikat ko lang.

binuksan ko yung passenger seat saka sya pinaupo dun. umikot agad ako sa driver seat.

umiiyak pa rin pagsakay ko.

kinuha ko yung kleenex sa dashboard saka inabot sa kanya.

"i'm allergic to tissue papers." she said softly and cried again. hala anu ba naman kasi to.

kinabig ko nalang ulit sya saka niyakap.

"Angel, tumahan ka naman na kasi. namamaga na yung mata mo. and besides i cant bring you anywhere like this. tahan na." i kissed her forehead and her hair before i gave her my hanky. she took it and wiped her tears.

eto palang ang babaeng nakita ko na umiiyak na maganda.

"c'mon angel. tahan na ha?" she smiled and nodded. tinitignan ko lang sya. she rested her body to the back rest and closed her eyes. napagod siguro kakaiyak. mag iisang oras na syang umiiyak eh.

kinabit ko yung seatbelt nya saka tinignan yung muka nya. i kissed her lips before started driving to the ice cream parlor.

"Bat ka ba kasi umiiyak?" i asked her. umiling lang sya saka kumutsara ng ice cream sa one gallon na binili ko kanina. nakatulog kasi sya eh.

"bawling like a baby for nothing? c'mon Alexis!" i said exasperated.

nandito kami sa condo ko. di ko kasi alam kung san sya dadalhin eh. nasa mini garden kami ngayon.

"I'm fine Steven." she smiled at me and continued eating the ice cream. inagaw ko nga. umupo ako sa harap nya saka kumain ng ice cream gamit yung serving spoon na pinangkakain nya.

"Fine?! you almost bawl your eyes out tas fine? are you shitting me Adrianne Alexis?" i blurted out.

"am i disturbing you?" she asked softly. may ice cream pa sa gilid ng labi. kumuha ako ng tissue paper saka pupunasan sana yung ice cream.

"Achoo." she sneeze. saka nilayo yung kamay ko sa mukha nya. "i'm allergic to tissue paper Steven." she said softly then took out my hanky from her pocket and wipe her nose.
