Capturing Her Heart

Chapter 31

"You did what?" Putol niya rito. "Bakit mo ginawa iyon without my or Lucas' knowledge?"

"This what they called private investigation, Sanie." Anito saka napabuntong hininga. "Look, I did that for you."

"Bakit?" Nagtatakang tanong niya rito. "Wala ka bang tiwala kay Lucas? Tingin mo ba masamang tao siya?"

"Yes and yes." Mabilis nitong sagot at napakaseryoso ng mukha nito. Talaga bang seryoso ito? "Sanie, he is not who you think he is. Lahat ng pinakita niyang ugali niya sayo ay kabiliktaran. Lahat iyon pakitang-tao lang."

She frowned from what he said. "Ano bang pinagsasasabi mo, Xylyx? Are you out of your shell?"

"Okay, let me explain first, alright?" Inabot nito ang kamay niya at hinaplos iyon. "Listen to everything I will say."

Wala na siyang nagawa kundi makinig dito. Hindi naman siguro siya masasaktan kung makikinig siya sa mga sasabihin ng binata.

She take a deep breath then look at him. "I'm all ears."

Xylyx tell everything he knows about Lucas. She is still in shock because of what she heard about him. She can't even say if Xylyx is telling the truth or he maybe he is just lying to make her stop talking to Lucas.

But why? Wala namang ginagawang masama si Lucas sa kanila? Maybe Lucas is a rival for Xylyx but everything should be alrightby now. Pinaliwanag na niya kay Lucas ang lahat noong nasa probinsya pa lan sila at ayos lang iyon kay Lucas.

So why would Xylyx damage Lucas' image? Is Xylyx lying to her? He does not have any proof after all.

"Xylyx." Tawag niya rito na puno ng seryoso ang boses. "Lucas is not a psychopath. Sinasabi mo ba ito para hindi na ako makipag-usap sa kanya? O hindi kaya ay gusto mo lang siyang siraan dahil tinuturing mo pa rin siyang karibal mo?"

"What?" His frowned. Para bang nabigla ito sa sinabi niya. He sigh. "Are you saying that I'm lying, Sanie?"

"Yes." She answer quickly. "Lucas will never do those horrible things you said. Mabait siya. He even told me that he is an introvert, and because of that all women does not want him."

"And you believe him?" He asked. His eyes were empty. She's like staring in the darkness that a light will never shine on it. "Are you really sure that he is an introvert?"

She stared at him for a second before answering, "yes."

He chuckled. "Have you ever thought that most of the introvert does not like social media? And yet he has. He even have an account in dating apps. Tapos maniniwala ka na introvert siya? My cousin is an introvert and up to this day she still not have any social media accounts because she said that having an active social life is not for introverts like her. Now tell me, is he really an introvert like he told you?"

What he said is right. Kalimiting nakikita niyang mga introvert ay walang kahit anong koneksyon sa outer world.

Pero may mga introvert din naman na nakikipag-socialize sa small group of people, hindi ba?

"Maybe." She said making him frowned even more. "Some of the introverts socialize to the outer world. Siguro isa siya roon."

"How sure you are?"
