Kaeton's Obsession (Blazing Series 1)

Kabanata 4

"You just gave me headache, stop your games, Charm! I told you do not forget the rules! Did I command you to leave?"

I slowly shook my head.

"Hindi 'di ba? Are you fucking listening, Ms. Silleza?"

Ngumuso ako. Hindi rin po, Sir.

"Make my head better," umupo siya at sinandal ang likod. "Remove my headache."

How could I do that?! Wala akong alam sa ganoong bagay!

"Faster, ayoko sa lahat ay ang mabagal kumilos."

Napakurap-kurap ako at nagmadaling kumuha ng palanggana sa lababo at kumuha ng yelo sa freezer. Malawak ang kaniyang office, kumpleto na lahat. Kumuha ako ng bimpo at nilagay doon ang malamig na yelo saka lumapit kay Kaeton na ngayon ay nakaupo na nakatingin sa akin, pinapanood ang aking ginagawa.

Pinatuwid ko siya ng upo para pahidan nang dahan-dahan ang kaniyang batok, leeg at ulo. Bumaba ang mukha ko sa kaniya habang siya ay nakatagilid sa akin. Rinig na rinig ko ang marahan niyang paghinga.

He had his eyes closed, which astounded me as I applied a cold compress to his forehead. He seems observing what I am doing.

"Charm. . ." he huskily said.

I swallowed my saliva down.

"B-Bakit?"

Hindi pa rin siya nagmumulagat ng kaniyang mata habang ako naman ay patuloy pa rin sa pagpunas sa kaniya.

"Did you witness something that perplexes you?"

Umiling ako kahit hindi naman niya iyon nakikita dahil naka pikit siya.

"W-Wala naman. . . hindi ko lang naintindihan ang n-nakalagay sa isang baril doon. Kakaiba. . ." I whispered.

Dahan-dahan siyang nagmulagat ng mata at napatingin sa akin.

"Good, then. . ."

Gusto kong malaman kung ano ang meaning no'n pero pakiramdam ko ay hindi tama. Para akong kinakabahan. I have been carrying a gun ever since because my brother Isaiah taught me how to defend myself if I'm in danger, therefore I'm not clueless because I just saw a gun.

Simple martial arts are one instance. Since I'm the only girl there, I should develop my fighting skills in a solo setting so that I can shield myself from inappropriate residents.

"I want to know," I breathy said. "Ano ang meaning ng nakalagay, Kaeton?" I seriously asked.

He didn't answer me. Just kept inhaling and feel relaxed.

"Gusto kong malaman kung ano iyon."

Dinilaan niya ang kaniyang pang-ibabang labi at para bang pagbibigyan na niya ako. Sasabihin na niya ba? Maghihintay ako sa sagot niya.

"Nobody will never acknowledge the value of that since it is so meaningful in my life, and I won't ever tell anyone because that gun is advantageous to me."

Bahagya akong nakaramdam ng lungkot dahil hindi ko malalaman ang meaning. Ayos lang, aalamin ko na lang kung bakit importante iyon sa kaniya.

"Ang babaeng nagmamay-ari ng baril na iyon ay sobrang importante sa akin. . ."

Hindi na dapat ako nakikialam kung sino iyon dahil sigurado namang ayaw niyang sabihin.

Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagpupunas sa kaniya kahit na malalim ang iniisip. Importanteng tao, babae. . . probably his mother.

"May I ask?"

"Hmm?"

I cleared my throat and sighed.

"Where's your mother?"

Napaahon siya sa kaniyang kinauupuan at binigyan ako ng isang malisyosong ngiti, mukhang nang-aasar.

Ano'ng iniisip niya? My brows furrowed at him.

"Bakit mo gustong malaman? Gusto mo bang mag legal na tayo?"

I laughed sarcastically.

"Tayo? Wala namang tayo, Kaeton. Kaya anong legal ang pinagsasabi mo?"

His mischievous expression vanished instantly, replaced by a frigid winter expression. He has a fast mood swing. Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit naaasar sa kaniya ang mga kaibigan niya.

Napapikit ako at bigla na namang naalala si Prudence. Damn. I miss her. Where is she right now?

"You are mine," he gritted his teeth. "Matagal na panahon na, Charm," diniinan niya pa ang pagkakabigkas sa name ko.

Matagal na panahon? Bullshit.

"You're a detective, right?" I sarcastically asked. "Why don't you find some information about your mental illness? Baliw ka na!"

He made no response to what I stated. I recognize his extreme insanity, and if he had desired it, I would have seen a psychologist to repair his broken brain.

"Oh, right. I'm sorry, nasobrahan lang ako sa kaiisip ng kung ano. . ." he let out a long sigh.

Ngumiwi ako at pinakatitigan siya. May problema ba siyang kinakaharap ngayon? Bakit ganoon ang kaniyang action sa harapan ko?

"You're overworked. Learn to rest even a little. Resting is affordable, you don't have to exhaust yourself with all the tasks."

He bit his lower lip and then looked at my eyes.

He nodded with smile on his lip and then held my hand.

"Thank you, Charm. . ." namamaos na aniya.

I went over to him, but he instantly grabbed my waist and seated me on his lap once more.

Napasinghap ako bigla nang mahigpit niya akong yakapin. Hindi ako nagsalita o umangal. Siguro ay sobrang stress at pagod na siya. Sometimes, all it takes is a hug from someone to let us comprehend that they understand the difficulties we are facing and that we weren't alone.

"Thank you for saying that, it calmed me."

Hindi ako nag aksaya na ipalupot ang kamay ko sa kaniyang leeg. He need a hug, so I gave what he wanted.

"Charm. . ." nilagay niya ang mukha niya sa aking leeg at mahigpit akong niyakap.

I felt the tenderness around me throughout his embrace as if there were no tomorrows, but I didn't care because I was too engrossed by the way he gripped my waistline.

Although it was tight, my breathing remained ordinary, and despite the presence of multiple air conditioners, the atmosphere remained warm. I felt as though I was soaring to the sky.

"Don't escape from me, please. . . I don't want you to turn your back on me. I want your whole focus, I want your attention. I want your love. I want your life. I want you."

I immediately pay attention to every statement he makes. His voice carried ache, which I could hear. There was almost pleading happening on.

Hindi pa rin talaga ako makapaniwala na kilala niya ako gayong hindi naman ako pamilyar sa kaniyang mukha.

His voice was filled with emotion, and it sounded as though he was very wounded. Why did he like me, I want to know. Why is he so drawn to me? I'm so intrigued.

Before I allow myself to want your lifetime, please give me the opportunity to learn about certain.
