'Di Madama

• Last Chapter (Part Two) •

Hanggang kailan?

Sana man lang alam ko hanggang kailan.

Para pipilitin kong kayanin.

Pipilitin kong labanan.

Pipilitin kong makadama pa rin.

"Anya?"

Napatingin kami ng sabay sa lalaking kadarating lang. He looked at RR and immediately got him off me. He punched him hard on the face. Kaagad ko siyang pinigilan. He can't hurt him. I knew what he and his family could possibly do to him if he continued to hurt him.

"Stop, Rean. P-please."

"What's this now, Anya?" he asked.

Tiningnan ko si RR. He wiped the blood on the side of his lips. He looked at me. My hands started to tremble, but I tried to stop it.

"Tell me, Anya. Explain to me what's happening," he said.

Umiling ako. Pinipigilan ko ang sarili ko na umiyak sa harapan niya. Hindi niya pwede malaman. Ayokong madamay siya. Hindi siya pwedeng mapahamak ng dahil sa akin. Hindi... hindi pwede.

"Anya..." he tried to hold my hand.

I flinched at his touch.

Kaagad akong napalayo.

"N-no, Rean. Please l-leave."

Mukhang nagulat siya sa sinabi ko. Hindi inaasahan na siya pa ang papaalisin ko. He stayed still for a few minutes that the silence was killing me each second that passed by that he didn't move nor speak.

"L-leave, Rean!" sigaw ko. Kailangan niyang umalis. Hindi siya pwedeng manatili dito. Hindi siya pwedeng mahawakan ni RR. "Please! Umalis ka na! Hindi na kita mahal! Sabi ko naman sa'yo, hindi ba? Sinungaling ako. I'm a cheater. Tama ka nang nakikita, may iba akong lalaking kasama! So please leave!"

"I-I can't believe you..." he said before he finally walked away from me.

I wanted to break down. I wanted to cry, but the son of a bitch couldn't even give me that. He held my face. "Look at me," he said. Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya. "Look at me!"

Tiningnan ko siya.

"You fucking monster!" I said as I spat at his face.

Isang malakas na sampal.

"If I ever see you with another guy again, I'll kill the both of you!" sigaw niya. "I'll kill you! I won't even think twice to bury the both of you alive!"

"If I ever see you with him again, I'll ruin his fucking life!" he said before he pushed me and left the house.

And that night, I didn't cry.

All I could think about was Rean.

And how that monster ruined even the last safest place for me in this world.

"Anya," pigil niya sa akin sa school.

Kaagad akong kinabahan. Umiling ako. "Please, Rean. Let's stop this. I'm a cheater, I'm no different from your ex."

Aalis na sana ako nang mahawakan niya kaagad ang kamay ko. "Tell me the truth, Anya. Be honest with me."

I faced him. "I'm a cheater and a liar, Rean. I've never been honest with you from the start. I lied about everything I told you. I lied!" I said.

Ano ba ang hindi niya maintindihan sa sinungaling ako?

Sa niloko ko rin siya?

Sa ginago ko siya?
