Danzelle's POV
Kanina pa ko gising, pero kanina pa rin ako nakapikit. Natatakot akong buksan yung mga mata ko. Dahil alam ko sa na oras na dumilat ako, kailangan ko nang harapin yung katotohanan.
Sana umalis na lang ako kaagad. Sana hindi ko hinayaang tulungan pa ako ni Zedri. Dahil hindi ko deserve 'yun.
Pinatay ko si Marlee. Ang kapatid ni Zedri. At wala siyang kaalam-alam na yung taong tinutulungan niya —- ay yung taong dahilan ng pagkamatay ng kapatid niya.
They will hate me for sure. Ash, Zedri, and their mother will hate me to death once they found out that I am their sister's murderer. They will kill me, and I have to let them kill me.
Bigla akong napadilat nung may naramdaman akong kamay na nagpunas ng luha ko. Then my eyes saw Zedri. Lalo akong napaiyak.
"Danzelle..." he cups my face and plants a soft kiss on my cheek. His lips found mine and I jerk away.
I don't deserve your love, Zedri. I killed your sister.
I sat up and noticed I'm back on my bed —- in Marlee's room.
"Danzelle." He whispers, and I felt my heart sink. Lalong bumigat yung loob ko nung niyakap niya ako ng napakahigpit. "I love you."
I bit my lower lip and swallow back my cry. Umiling ako. You should hate me.
He tilts my chin up so he can see my eyes. I noticed something sad in his eyes. "I love you, Danzelle. Please tell me you love me too."
For the second time, I shook my head. Hindi na ganyan ang mararamdaman mo once na malaman mo yung totoo. You will disgust me.
He closed his eyes as if he is in pain. Then he nodded. "Get some more sleep. Gabi na."
Pinagmasdan ko siyang maglakad papalabas. He looked back at me when he was about to close the door.
"I'm sorry." I whispered as I let my tears fall from my eyes.
He rushed back to me. "Danzelle—-"
