Over Me (COMPLETED)

Chapter 51

Mabuti sana kung umalis na siya but no. Umalis nga siya sa tabi ko omce the models were given a short break pero ramdam ko pa rin ang titig niya. Under my skin, I can still feel the words he mumbled seering in. Alam ko na dapat wala na akong oaniniwalaan sa mga sinasabi niya, he's full of shit, you know, but my mind can't process the one he said about Hayme being two-faced.

I should've defended Hayme before he walked away. He doesn't deserve to be called like that, Art barely knew him, it's the last thing he could do. And even though I let him know he has no rights to call me out or call him out, a part of me wanting to know why he said that.

"Did he hurt you?"

He asked that for the nth time already. Kanina ko pa pinapakita na wala naman akong galos na nakuha. It's fine showing him my skin, that way, he's unable to see what's really happening inside my heart.

Sanay na akong bantaan ni Art na sasaktan. He always does that when we're still together. Hindi na dapat ako magulat o masindak kasi nga sanay na ako. But what's making me flinch from my seat is the fact that he elaborated he wouldn't hurt me with his physical moves but with the use of Hayme in front of me.

How would he do that? As if Hayme is some kind of puppet he can just control anytime he wants. "N-nakakausap mo ba si..."

I can't even finish my sentence. He looks thunderstruck while the bottle is on his mouth. "Ha?"

I gestured someone behind him, "Is there any chance he's... contacting you?"

Hindi na niya kailangan lumingon pa. Putting down the bottle and wiping the small beads on his forehead, he hastily shakes his head. I can't even find the time to compliment him today. May lahi atang gagamba si Art at ginulo niya nang ginulo ang isipan ko.

"Bakit ko naman kakausapin?"

"Wala lang. At... sabi ko baka siya ang nagrereach out."

"Hindi ko maalala kung binigay ko ba ang number ko sa kaniya. I seldom check my Facebook messages, ikaw ang tumitingin, hindi ba?"

Yeah. Wala naman akong napapansin. "Why are you asking? Sabi niya ba 'yun kanina?"

Alam ko na napapanood niya kami kanina and I'n thankful we're only talking in low voice earlier. Sapat nang ako ang all over the place ang isipan at hindi siya. They're not even reaching the half of this event.

"Wala. Don't think about it."

I cup his cheek and just sit straight. He's looking at me intently and I saw his mouth opening but he closed it immediately. "Should I talk to him?"

"W-why would you do th—"

"Para matapos na." he groaned. "Bilang lalaki na lang, I'll ask him what are his problems and he's not yet over you. Nakakagago lang sa akin, sa'yo, na ilang buwan na, may epekto pa rin siya sa'yo."

Gustuhin ko mang magsalita, walang lumalabas sa bibig ko. Kahit anong pilit ko na magsalita kahit maliit lang, o pigilan ko siya, wala talaga. Hayme's now staring at the figure of the two, who obviously having a silent fight on the corner.

"I won't start a fight." giit nito. "Not unless he will start it. Kakausapin ko siya nang matapos at tantanan ka na niya."

Finally, I can move but it's not enough to stop him from walking away. Wala akong nagawa kundi panoorin siyang tumigil sa gitna ng dalawa, eyes only kay Art at sabay tingin sa akin. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin hanggang pareho silang nawala sa paningin namin. Art's girlfriend even rolled her eyes at me. Bitch.

Mga one minute bago magsimula uli ang shoot ay roon lang sila bumalik. I'm expecting a bruise on both of their faces (sila pa ba?) pero ang tanging makita ko lang ay mga mukhang hindi maipinta. Hindi na bumalik sa tabi ko si Hayme, habang si Art ay may mahabang binulong sa babae.
