Misguided Hearts (Completed)

Chapter 3

Phae

2014, Just a few months ago..

"What the hell, Li?!" Ika, Liam's best friend exclaimed beside me. She threw her napkin at Liam's face.

"What?" tatawa tawang sagot ni Liam. He tucked the napkin inside Ika's gorgeous navy blue gown. At the breast part, no less. Which horrified me. "You know, you guys shouldn't have stopped me! That was like one of the best stories Ram has ever told me!"

Malakas na siniko ng babae si Liam at tinitigan ng masama. Mukha namang hindi iyon ininda ng huli at patuloy na pinagmamalaki ang best man speech nya para kay Ram, na syang kakakasal lamang kay Charlie.

"Are you fcking serious, Li? Gusto mo ba talagang ilabas na ng tatay ni Charlie yung shot gun at butasin ang bungo ni Ram? Coz if that happens, I just hope he better drew a hole in yours, too. You really are one fcked up dude." nakairap na salansa ni Ika dito, galit na ibinalik nito sa mesa ang napkin.

I smirked. Yeah, Liam really is one fcked up asshat. Napatunayan ko na yan sa mga iilang beses na pagkikita namin, yung mga time na kasama nya si Kuya. Damn! These people should learn to wash their mouths with soap! To think they kiss their mothers with that same mouth? Disgusting.

Parang balewala lang sa mga ito na galing kami sa simbahan kanina. Hindi na nahiya!

I don't know why my brother chose to be a part of this group. Most of them are man whores. Specially, Liam. Sya siguro ang nanghawa sa kuya ko?

Well, f-uck. Who the hell am I kidding? Drae became the manwh-ore he is right now to cope up with all the fu-ckedupness we grew up in. Alam kong hindi dapat excuse ang naging experience namin sa family namin para umasal sya na parang hayop. Pero ano bang magagawa namin? We both came up with ways to cope up and truth to be told, both are not socially acceptable. Not entirely, at least.

"Hey."

I rolled my eyes heavenwards before shifting my gaze towards Scor who's seated beside me. "What is it this time?" i hissed.

Kanina pa sya hey ng hey sakin pero wala namang sinasabi. Yung totoo? Nakakapikon ba sya o nakakapikon? Hindi ko alam kung nagpapapansin ba sya o ano? I mean, hindi kami magkaibigan. Matagal na panahon na.

Simula nung nireject nya 'ko..

Not totally reject, but - Ah! Parehas lang 'yon!

Hinintay kong may sabihin sya nang hindi sya nililingon. Handa na sana 'kong sapukin sya nung wala syang sinabi pero nung lingunin ko sya, he has this lopsided smile that - damn it! Made my heart skip a beat. "W-what?"

"You look great." he quietly said.

"W-w-what?" i sputtered like an idiot. Scor's effect still manifests in me. Even after years of hating him. Nakakaasar! Bakit ba hanggang ngayon may ganito parin syang epekto sakin? I don't like him anymore. Hindi ko na sya crush o anuman. This is impossible!

"I still make you blush." mapangasar na sabi nya. He evn wiggled his eyebrows at me which took my blood into its boiling point.

"No you don't!" i seethed.

Hudyong 'to! Nuknukan talaga ng sama ng ugali at kapal ng mukha! Magpasalamat sya at kasal ngayon ng kaibigan nila kundi.. What the hell, Phaedra? Why are you so affected? It's just Scor, you know?

Nung nalaman ko kanina sa kuya ko na makakahabol pa sa kasal ni Ram si Scor ay sobrang nadismaya ako. I wasn't expecting him here. Nung nakaraang pagdalaw nya kase dito sa bansa, wala syang ginawa kundi sirain ang araw ko sa pamamagitan ng pagpunta punta sa bahay. God! He's one hell of a self absorbed bastard! Akala mo kung sinong sobrang gwapo!
