A Love To Remember

36.

Audrey's Pov

I was caught off guard and shocked. Bada kissed me desperately, she's trying to get into me. I stared at her and opened my lips a bit, welcoming her. When I felt her tongue touching mine, I bit it hard.

“What the?!” she yelled at me, taking a few steps back.

“You crossed the line!” I shouted and trying my best to hold back my tears.

“Audrey, mahal kita.” seryosong sabi ni Bada at akmang lalapitan ulit ako but I stopped her.

“Don't you dare.”

“Mahal pa rin talaga kita.”

“Hindi kaba talaga titigil? Ayoko sayo, ayoko na sayo!” sigaw ko ulit sakanya.

Ayoko, ayoko na marinig 'yang mga salitang yan. I remember how I trusted her when she said she loved me—in the end, she didn't choose me and made me feel shit. I vividly remember everything, it feels like a permanent pain that I've had to feel and remember every single day.

“Para sayo ang dali dali lang lahat. You've never chose me, you made me feel desperate and you made me look like a fool. Puro mixed signals lang kaya mong ibigay pero hindi mo ako kayang piliin. Did I deserve that, Bada? My feelings were genuine, I truly loved you tapos ngayon gusto mo mahalin kita ulit? That's not easy.” I added and my tears betrayed me.

Pagdating sakanya feeling ko ang hina hina ko. I did my best para ipakita sakanya na nagbago na ako pero kapag ganitong scenario na, wala, nanghihina na ulit ako.

“Audrey, kaya nga gusto kong bumawi sayo. Give me a chance and I'll make everything right. If you'd just let me explain myself, I'd do it. Please hear me out first.” Bada started begging.

“No, I don't have time for this.” I said and picked up my things. I walked passed by her but she pulled me back.

“Tigilan mo na sabi ako!” I slapped her.

I saw how Bada lost her balance when I slapped her. Pati ako nagulat din sa nagawa ko, I never meant to hurt her pero she's pushing my buttons.

“Are you feeling better?” tanong niya saakin habang hawak hawak yung pisngi niya.

“After slapping you? Yes.” I said, confidently.

“So slapping me makes you feel better?”

“Yes.”

“Then do it again.”

“What?”

“Slap me.”

“......”

“If it makes you feel good then keep going. Kung ito lang yung paraan para hindi kana magalit saakin, okay lang.”

“You are so unbelievable.” sagot ko sakanya at tinulak siya palayo saakin.

Nagmadali akong lumabas ng studio niya at saktong nandun na yung kotse ni Chocol, nakasandal siya sa labas ng sasakyan at hinihintay ako. When I and Chocol's eyes met, I ran towards her and threw myself into her arms.

“What happened?” Chocol whispered, running her fingers through my hair.

“Please take me away from her.” I responded while also crying.

“Okay, let's go.” she led me inside her car and once I was settled inside, she quickly went to the driver's seat.

Habang iniistart na niya yung engine, nakita kong nakatayo si Bada sa labas ng studio niya at nakatingin saamin.
