The Only Exception

Chapter 16

Is this his way to woo me? By giving me more faint of hope so I'd come back to him again.

Conrad, why are you doing this? I don't want to come back just to make my heart bleed again. Baka kapag bumalik ako, tuluyan na akong mawasak.

From: Conrad

I don't want the way you look at him, Curns...

From: Conrad

Curns, hindi na ba ko? Nagbago na ba ang isip mo sa akin?

From: Conrad

You're with him again.

From: El

Baby, if you want me no more, then please just say it. Huwag mo akong takbuhan at wag kang sumama sa iba sa harap ko, please. Kasi, Curns, ang sakit sakit...

Bakit ganito ka, Conrad? You're giving me another load of stuffs to think. Another overthinking. Why are you feeding me with lies? Bakit parang nagseselos ka? I thought you only see me as your sister? Pero bakit ganito ang mga salitang binibitawan mo?

Please, wag mo naman na akong paasahin.

A single tear fell down my cheeks. Pilit rin kumakawala ang hikbi. Agad kong itinabon ang mukha ko sa mga unang saksi sa lahat ng pag iyak ko ngayon. Nang maikalma ko ang sarili ko ay nag ipon ulit ako ng lakas ng loob para basahin ang iba pa niyang messages.

From: Conrad

What are you doing with that asshole?

From: Conrad

I'll wait for you here. No matter what!

From: Conrad

Baby, I'm not gonna move these feet unless you'll come and take me home.

From: Conrad

I'll wait for you no matter what.

From: Conrad

Cunrs, it's getting cold. Kailan mo ako pupuntahan?

From: Conrad

Still waiting for you where you left me.

From: Conrad

Gabi na, hindi ka pa rin ba tapos kasama siya? Are you having fun with him?

From: Conrad

I'll wait for you here. Come back to me, please. Babalikan mo naman ako dito diba? Curns, I'm scared.

From: Conrad

Curns, pinapaalis na ako ng guard. Isasara na raw nila ang school, umuwi na raw ako. Sabi ko ayaw ko kasi hihintayin pa kita. Babalikan mo pa ako hindi ba?

Shit! Tang ina! Nag hintay siya sa school? Kailan 'to? I checked the date at it was dated November 24. Same day noong hinabol niya ako at sumakay ako kay Ryan?

Naghintay siya sa school? I don't think so, dahil ang sabi no tita Aina kay mama ay gumawa ito ng project niya? Yes! That's right. He's just doing this that time to get me! To lure me to come back. Ginagawa niya to para bumalik ako hindi dahil mahal niya ako.

And that's more painful. To know that the person only wants you to come back because he's threatened that they will lose you with another man, not because they scared they'd lose you in their life.

Mas masakit pala kapag natethreaten lang silang maagaw ka. He's treating me like a damn trophy! Ayaw niya akong mawala dahil hindi kaya ng ego niya na hawak ako ng iba. That's the truth. And it hurts.

From: Conrad

Ayaw mo na ba sa akin? Bumalik ka na, please. It's getting very late. Madaling araw na and it's already raining, baka mapano ka.
