OOTB #32: The First Cut Is The Deepest

"That's exactly my point, Gelo! I don't know her that much but I know that she's seducing Ice! She's a wh0re! A flirt! And she's the one who's ruining the relationship and I'm the partner of Ice so I have the rights to hurt her! She's seducing Ice dahil malandi siya!"

Ar4y kH0 bH3. Sapakin kita dyan eh..

"I know her Ellah.. I know that she ain't seducing Ice.." Sabi ni Gelo at hinawakan ang pulso ko na para bang anytime na gustuhin ko, tatakas ako.

"Oh? Did that girl poisoned your brain? She seduced you too? Oh girl! What the fck! You're such a who-"

"DON'T CALL HER THAT! SHE DIDN'T SEDUCED ME! DON'T ACCUSE SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW!" Hindi na napigilang sumigaw ni Gelo kaya napatigil si Ellah sa pagsasalita.

Agad kumunot ang noo ni Ellah at takang tumingin kay Gelo pabalik balik sa akin.

"What do you mean by that? Ano pa bang dapat kong malaman?" Tanong nito.

Bumuntong hininga si Gelo at pumikit na para bang may gusto siyang sabihin pero wala siya sa lugar.

"I don't have the rights to confess, you better go ask Ice instead."

Tulala akong naglalakad sa hallway hanggang sa may matanaw ako mula sa taas hanggang sa likuran ng Gym.

Napakapit ako sa pader at tinignan kung sino 'yon, at hindi nga ako nagkakamali dahil si Ellah at Ice yun..

Nagsasalitaan lang sila hanggang sa nakita kong umiyak si Ellah at niyakap siya ni Ice.

That scene made my heart shattered for a moment. But I know I have to stop it. 'Cause I'm being selfish and I don't want that. I want to love a person, selflessly. So he won't feel that I caged him.

May sinabi si Ellah pagkatapos kumalas ni Ice sa yakap. Nabalik ang distansya nila at may sinabi pa muna si Ice bago naglakad palayo.

"But I won't lose Ice! Put that in your mind!"

Nanlaki ang mata ko nung marinig ko ang sigaw ni Ellah ngunit hindi siya nilingon ni Ice. Naglalakad lang ito palayo habang nakasuksok ang isang kamay sa bulsa at ang isa ag nakahawak sa strap ng bag niya.
