TRACKER'S OBSESSION (Mafia Series 1) (Completed✓)

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“Akin ka lang, okay?” -aniya “Wala akong pakialam kung ang pamilya ko, kapatid ko at tadhana ang maglalayo sa'ting dalawa. The hell will be damned if they try to tear us apart. Akin ka, kaya hindi pweding mawala sakin”

I sighed. How can he own me when I didn't even know him? No one own me. End of story.

Humiwalay ako sa kanya saka pinagmasdan ang mukha nito, bigla naman syang tumalikod na parang nahiya sa ginawang pag-iyak. He wiped his tears, acting like a shy boy now.

“Okay ka na ba?” -tanong ko.

Humarap naman sya sakin suot ang maamo niyang mukha, ang mukha niyang nagiging maamo lang pag ako ang kasama. Ang gwapo niya pa rin kahit namumugto na yong mga mata niya. Ibang iba ang Tyler na to sa harapan ko kesa dun sa Tyler na sinuntok ang kapatid niya sa pangawalang beses.

“I love you” -he said again, “Olivia.”

Sinalubong ko ang titig nito. “Do you, do you wanna.... I mean, do you like to—”

Hindi na niya natapos ang gusto niyang sabihin ng biglang tumunog ang cellphone nya. He seized his phone with a frenzied grip, his fingers trembling with anger and frustration when he picked it. Tiningnan niya kung sino ang tumatawag at napapamurang sinagot yon.

“This better be important Glenn Klay” -he answer using his frightening voice, deritso lang din ang tingin niya sa labas ng sasakyan “W-What?” -naging mas seryoso ang boses nito. “Damn. Sino daw? I'm with my baby right now, I cant” -he stopped “I know.. fúck. Okay, I'll be there”

He dropped his phone call and looked at me, wearing his tamable look as always.

“Im sorry. I, I wanted to be with you but there's an emergency” -he bit his lip “I promise I'll fetch you later after we untangle the problem. I really promised, I'm so sorry” -he hold my hand, squeezing it as if he's asking a permission if I should allow him.

That's fine with me. He don't have to feel sorry, actually kanina ko pa gustong umalis. Natatakot lang ako dahil baka magalit na naman sya gaya ng nakita kong ginagawa niya kay Troy.

“Love?” -he called me, making me back to my senses “Okay lang ba?”

“Ayos lang” -tumango ako “Umalis ka na, okay lang ako”

“I'll send you home then”

“No” -I shake my head “I mean may klase pa kasi ako, s-sige, bababa na muna ako’’

I was on the verge of opening the door when he abruptly seized my hand, napasinghap naman ako nang palihim ng masubsob ako sa dibdib nito. And I swear, I felt like my entire body froze when his hand embrace me, hindi na rin ako makahinga ng maayos ng niyakap niya ako.

“I love you” -bulong niya na ikinalunok ko nang sunod sunod “Susunduin kita mamaya pangako yan, basta.. basta wag kang lalapit sa kahit sinong lalaki, including my brother. Mababaliw ako kapag may hahawak na naman sayo”

“Tyler”

“Sabihin mo sakin na walang makakalapit, I need an assurance”

“Tyler kasi—”

“Please don't make me jealous”

Humiwalay sya sakin saka hinalikan ang nuo ko. Napapikit ako sa ginawa nito. “Mahal na mahal na mahal kita. Sobra”

Nahihiyang umiwas ako nang tingin “S-Sige na. Lalabas na ako”

I got out from his car nervously, the ambiance of SIS parking lot embracing me once again. Hindi na ako mapakali na kasama sya, his presence is no good to me.
