Ready

I continue to question everything I intend to do with Nahliel, even after he did all these terrible things to me. I am naturally kindhearted, and I'm afraid of hurting him, but what can I do? He caused me to become the way I am. He made me into someone he didn't think I'd be.

I was walking towards the house. Minasdan ko ang bahay na muling nagpabalik ng alaala ko noong mga araw na pakiramdam ko buo pa ang nararamdaman ko sa bahay na 'to. Everything in our lives—including our dreams, our families, and our future—seems whole and complete as if nothing is lacking. But for now, all I can see is just a simple house. It is a basic home for an average individual to live in.

Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad hanggang sa makarating ako sa harap ng bahay namin. As soon as I saw a big box in front of our house, I was stunned. With no specific emotions or thoughts, I stared at it for a long time with my expressionless face, reflecting my changing responses for quite some time.

Lumapit ako sa tapat ng gate namin at dahan-dahang tinignan ang box. There is a good chance that it was given to me by Nahliel, and I am definitely not interested in getting it, even if he did it just to help me change my mind about Jeremy or even encourage me to terminate the contract.

There is no way for others to change my mind. It's already fixed.

I was about to go into the house when the box began to move. It instantly grabbed my attention, and I stood there staring at it for a minute before walking inside the home without even thinking to get it for me to know inside.

I walked through my bedroom as soon as I finished eating the food that I left from the fridge. Muling nahagip ng mga mata ko ang cellphone ko sa kama kaya agad ko itong kinuha at hinanap ang pangalan ni Jeremy pero wala ni isa akong natanggap na mensahe mula kanina.

Instead, I dialed Nahliel's number. Hindi nagtagal ay sumagot din naman ito sa akin. I lay on the bed as soon as I hear his voice while brushing my hair with my fingers.

"Marithe? Do you need anything?" I can hear the panic in his voice different from his tone earlier.

I softened up again through his tone, but this time I shook my head.

"Get it." simpleng sabi ko.

"The what?"

"The one you left outside. I don't need it." I said coldly.

After a little period of time, he spoke again.

"I guess you got it wrong, it is not me," he said with his husky voice.

That wasn't him then who? Agad 'kong binaba ang tawag na walang pamamaalam. Hinagis ko ang cellphone ko sa side table malapit sa kama ko bago ako tumalon pababa nang mapagtanto ko kung sino ang pupwedeng magbigay sa akin nun.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pumasok sa isip ko na bigla akong nagmamadaling lumabas ulit para tignan ang box na hindi ko pinansin kanina.

My emotions were all over the place; I was both terrified and relieved. Kinakabahan ako hindi dahil sa natatakot akong tignan ang bagay na 'yon.

I'm afraid it'll be the last thing I hear from him after this. And yes. I'm thinking about Jeremy. He's the person that I think would do that after Nahliel.

Malabo naman na magbilin ng bagay si Lexi sa tapat ng bahay namin without even texting me. It's just the two of them.

I was panting when I reached the gate. Napakapit ako sa gate bago ko ito binuksan and good thing, it's still there kahit iniwan ko ito ng ilang minuto.
