Alluring Javis Leoniro

Chapter 22

Trigger warning: Self-harm. Abused. 

Aligaga kong hinanap ang kwintas at sinuot ito.

Hinubad ko kasi ang magical necklace na 'yon kanina at iniwan sa leeg ang binigay ni Javis na kwintas.

I finally came in front of Javis' room. I just keep on knocking.

And after seconds of knocking, he opened the door of his room.

"Madaling araw na, hindi ka pa natutulog?" His voice was a bit hoarse and husky. His hair is kind of messy too, probably because he just got out of his bed and I woke him up.

But looking at him now, my tears came out again that I tried to hide.

His sleepy eyes widen when he saw my face.

Sunod-sunod ng tumulo ang mga luha ko habang nakatingin sa kanya.

"What happened?"

"U-Uwi na tayo."

"Right now?"

I just keep on nodding my head because I can no longer speak. I'll surely sob if my lips will open to answer him.

I stayed immobile in front of him, and he's the one who guided me, and he's also the one who took care of our belongings and other things.

I just found myself inside his car. He's tired but he still drives me home.

He doesn't know everything, he didn't ask me... but he is doing everything for me without hesitation. Kapag sinabi ko, gagawin niya kaagad.

Habang nasa byahe ay napansin ko ang panay pag lingon niya sa akin at kahit hindi ako direkta na nakatitig sa kanya ay kitang-kita ko sa gilid ng aking mata ang pag-aalala niya sa kalagayan ko. 

Hindi ko na kaya pang mag salita dahil kahit bumuka lang ang bibig ko ay panigiradong pipiyok ang aking boses, kaya natulala na lamang ako habang panay pa rin ang pag tulo ng aking luha.

I keep on wiping my tears away but they will just come out freely. 

I stopped when he handed me a handkerchief using his other hand since he was driving.

It was the handkerchief he gave me. I don't know where he gets it but I surrendered and accepted it.

I used it to wipe my tears properly. And I even smelled his scent on the handkerchief he gave. It somehow calms me a little.

"Drop me here," I uttered when we finally entered our city.

"But—"

"Drop me here," I said with finality.

I know he's just worried about me.

"It's around four in the morning. Let me book you a grab and let's wait together."

I just nodded. I don't have any strength to talk.

Until the grab he reserved came to us. He opens the door for me, and I even saw him talking to the driver for my safety.

I even took a glance at him taking a photo of the plate number using his phone.

Lumapit siya saking muli. "Mag-iingat ka palagi. Just tell me if you're ready. I'm just here, don't forget it."

I absentmindedly nodded again. But I felt his warm and gentle hand above my head... then he planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

I put a cold expression on my face as I sat inside of the car, but when I looked up at him, he gave me a smile like everything will be alright.

I bit the inside of my lower lip to stop myself to cry again.

Nang mag sara ang pintuan ay sinabi ko kung saan niya ako idederetso.
