Sebastian Lee | CATASTROPHIC SERIES 1 [Completed]

Chapter 42

Carleigh Jade Revaz

"Carleigh!" I can still hear Sebastian. Sinusundan nya parin ako hanggang sa makarating ako dito sa likod ng bahay. I don't know what I am going to feel. I feel so embarrassed on all the people around me. I look like stupid. Pero hindi lang 'yon, nag-sinungaling silang lahat sa akin.

"Carleigh please let us talk!" Sebastian said and I just felt his hands on my wrist. I look at his hands who's now holding me. Hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pa syang tingnan ngayon. I'm useless and I don't have anything anymore. I suddenly felt a distance between us. Parang bigla syang lumayo sa akin.

"I will understand if you're going to be mad at me. But please, atleast let me explain." I heard him said pero tinanggal ko lang ang kamay nya sa braso ko saka ako umiwas ng tingin sa kanya.

"I don't know what I am going to believe anymore Sebastian. Ni hindi ko na alam kung totoo pa ba lahat ng nangyari sa atin! Kung totoo ka ba?!" Frustrated na sabi ko sa kanya. I'm starting to think, pinilit lang ba sya nina Mom na gustuhin ako para hindi ko malaman ang sitwasyon?

"I am true to you Carleigh. Believe it or not, this is all my will. Totoong gusto kita. Mahal kita kaya ikaw ang gusto kong pakasalan."

"Really? Or this is just one of our family's plan? And you know that we're just arranged marriage from the very beginning? Kaya ba bigla ka na lang dumating sa buhay ko? At 'yong pagpapanggap mo na ibang tao? Kasama ba 'yon sa mga plano nyo?" Naiinis na sabi ko sa kanya. Ayoko mang magalit pero hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko. Pinagkaisahan nila akong lahat habang naniniwala ako na isang malaking coincidence at fairy tale ang lahat.

"I never planned to meet you in my life Carleigh. The first time I met you was 5 years ago! We we're just kid back then but you know what? You already catched my attention and you teach that kid how to fall in love that easily! Pumunta ako dito para sayo at hindi para sa arranged marriage na 'to! Please believe me Carleigh, I love you truthfully. Maybe I fool you about everything that happened but my feelings for you was never been a lie. It's all true for pete sake!"

"Y-You what? Met me 5 years ago?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ko sa kanya. Wala akong naaalala na nakita ko na sya kahit isang beses.

"That day, it was your birthday. Year 2017 on the month of September. It was an autumn in Seoul that time. And it's my favorite season so I will never forget that day when I met you. The first time I laid my eyes on you, I already know that something has changed on me. From that moment you already changed something on me Carleigh. But now, if you're really going to blame me and leave me because I lied to you, hindi kita pwedeng pilitin na gustuhin ako. Siguro hindi kita ganon napamahal sa akin so I will just blame myself instead. That if I just make you fall in love with me even more, maybe you will not choose to let me go. I'm sorry." He seriously said before he turned his back on me.

Is he going to leave me already? Iiwan nya na ba ako ng ganon ganon na lang? Babalik na ba sya sa Seoul? He can't do this to me!

Naikuyom ko ang kamay ko saka ako naiinis na bumaling sa katabi kong orchids at pinutol ang bulaklak non saka ko 'yon ibinato sa kanya. Napatigil sya dahil doon.

"How dare you turn your back on me? Am I already letting you go? You lied to me and I didn't said anything yet that you're already done explaining everything on me! Are you really like this? I am so clueless right now so please help me to understand! This is when I need you the most and you're going to turn your back on me?! Is this the part where you're going to leave me? How dare you do this to your Ali ?!" Nanunumbat na sigaw ko sa kanya kaya napalingon sya sa akin. He is looking at me intently but I can't ready what's on his mind. Gusto kong ihakbang ang mga paa ko papalit sa kanya pero ayokong subukan na gawin 'yon dahil sya ang may kasalanan at nagsinungaling dito. Pero lumipas ang ilang segundo pero hindi parin sya lumalapit sa akin. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from crying. And before I could shed a tears in front of him, ako na mismo ang tumalikod sa kanya.
