Beauty In His Eyes (Beauty Series #2) [COMPLETED]

23

All she could do was walk out of the room. Olivia was waiting outside the room and she looked at Mona with a concerned look.

Isang tingin ay alam na kaagad ni Olivia ang ibig sabihin ng ekspresyon ni Mona.

She was clearly upset.

She pulled Mona for a hug.

"Mamma....I have to go. T-Thanks for having me." She tried to smile.

"Call me if you need anything." Olivia smiled.

"I will."

She walked slowly and waved to Olivia before stepping out of the mansion. Nakatingin lang siya sa baba habang naglalakad. She was biting her lip to somehow stop her tears from falling.

"Mona." Narinig niya ang pagtawag ni Jai.

His face was tearing up. He was feeling guilty for what he did. Dahan-dahan siyang naglakad papunta kay Mona. Kahit nahihirapan, pinilit niyang lumuhod sa harap ni Mona.

"I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Aniya habang hawak-hawak ang kamay ni Mona.

"I...I don't want to talk to you." She said. Hindi siya makapaniwala sa mga salitang lumabas sa bibig niya. She isn't like this. Pati si Jai ay napatingin sa kaniya.

"What?"

"Please don't talk to me." Binitawan niya si Jai at lumabas ng bahay habang umiiyak. Hindi niya maiproseso sa kaniyang utak ang mga nangyayari sa kaniya ngayon. She can't control her words. But she knew her words struck to his heart. It was very painful. Tinatanggal-tanggal ni Mona ang mga kamay ni Jai.

It was painful to see his beautiful eyes cry. It was even more painful to be the reason why she cries.

"Gagawin ko ang lahat. Please forgive me. Mona please. I'll do anything. I'll do better. I promise."

Pagkatanggal ni Mona sa mga kamay ni Jai, lumakad siya paalis. She left Jai on his knees.

Please let me breathe for a while.

After a long day, Mona decided to just be where her family is. At a hotel. Bago pumasok, sinigurado niyang walang bahid ng luha ang kaniyang mukha. She tried to smile at saka pumasok.

"Oh Mona, kamusta na daw si Jai?" Her mom asked.

"Uhm...he's fine." She fake smiled. "Magpapahinga na daw siya."

"Napag-isipan mo namang hindi matulog sa tabi niya." Sabi ni Gab.

"He needs rest kasi kuya. I thought na maybe he needs his family too to take care of him." Sagot niya.

"Sabagay. O siya, maaga pa flight natin bukas. Kailangan na natin magpahinga na." Sabi ni Gab.

"Uuwi na tayo agad?" She asked.

"Oo daw. Sabi ni mama. Uwi na daw at yung college mo pa oy." Sabi ng kapatid niya. "Pahinga na."

Early morning is their flight. Lumipad na sila pabalik ng Pilipinas. Pagbukas niya ng kaniyang cellphone at tadtad ng mga message ni Jai ang cellphone ni Mona.

She really didn't want to read them. She just can't have the courage to face him after what he did.

One thing she doesn't really want are liars. Nagkataong mahal pa niya ang nagsinungaling sa kaniya, making the pain ten times worst.

She can't afford another lie coming from her loved ones.

"O si Jai daw okay na?" Their mom asked.
