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

24

Pagod at hinihingal na nakarating si Mona sa bahay nila. Pagdating niya ay nabigla siya sa nakita niya.

Gab was packing his things up. Nakahanda na ang mga luggage niya at nakabihis na rin siya.

"A-Aalis ka na kuya? Bakit parang ang bilis mo naman?" She asked.

"Anak, ito na rin naimpake ko na yung isa. Nasan na ba si Mona?" Narinig niya ang sinabi ng mama niya.

"What's happening?" Mona asked.

"Your brother is leaving."

"I got called back earlier than expected, saying it was an emergency. Don't do anything bad after I'm gone. Uuwi talaga ulit ako."

"As if I do bad stuff." Umirap si Mona. "Anyways, I'll miss you. And before you go pala, I was running off. Hiningal ako sa text mo akala ko emergency."

"So hindi ba emergency kapag aalis na ang kuya mo?" He asked.

"Konti lang." She smiled playfully.

"Ma, hindi ako love ng anak mo." Sabi ni Gab.

"Joke lang."

Pagkatapos ng kanilang mga usapan ay inihatid nila si Gab sa airport. They said their goodbyes before seeing Gab enter the gate. It will be months before she can see his brother again.

Nang sumapit ang gabi ay nag-text si Mona kay Joanna.

["Hey, sorry nga pala. Umalis agad ako. It's just that Gab left na. He'll be back soon."]

Ngunit ang ni-reply ni Joanna ay isang post sa Facebook. Nag-send siya ng isang link na may picture ni Mona at ni Jai.

Hot Topic: Famous Youtube Vlogger na si Mona Gomez, nakipag-break na nga ba sa boyfriend na si Jaistav Ross Aragona?

"What? What is this?" She asked herself.

Binuksan niya ang link at pinakita dito ang pictures at isang video na naganap kanina lang. It all happened so fast. May article agad? Binasa niya ang mga nakasulat sa article.

The article was full of lies.

We didn't break up.

She watched the video. Nakita sa video na magkahawak ang kamay nila na totoo naman, na biglang binitawan ni Mona. Binitawan niya dahil sa nabasang text. She thought it was an emergency and had to leave immediately.

But the article didn't know anything. It was said that Mona had to leave because of a breakup.

Out of panicking, she immediately reached Jai.

But he wasn't available.

He must've seen it.

She tried chatting Jai's family in Italy. None of them were in reach. She tried calling Russ. She tried calling Marco and Eros, or Shane.

None of them were available in this time of need.

Sinubukan niyang umalis at pumunta sa condo ni Jai. Her heart even pounded faster when she realized Jai already left.

He didn't even try to reach me. Hindi man lang niya nasabing nakaalis na siya papuntang Italy.

Umuwi siya sa bahay nang malungkot. She was left to overthink the whole night.

-----

"He left." Sabi ni Joanna. Tinignan niya si Mona na malungkot na umiiyak sa kaniyang kama. Lumapit siya kay Mona at niyakap.
