End Of All The Endings (Book 2)

End Game 36

End Game 36

"They'd paint me out to be bad, so it's okay that I'm mad"

Sheliah Santibañez

Nanatili akong naninigas sa kinatatayuan ko. I am staring at them. Gustong-gusto kong lumapit sa kanila para sampalin sila pareho but my body refuses to move.

I'm his past now, she's his present.

What's the point of acting in pain and about to hysterically smash their faces?

I can't believe na si Monica ang dahilan kung bakit ako sinaktan ni Art. Kung bakit niya sinayang lahat ng pinagsamahan namin.

"Hindi ba... Ikakasalan na si Liah at Art? What's this?" nagtatakang tanong ni Josephine habang pabalik-balik ang tingin nito kay Art at Monica.

Monica laughs. "Matagal na silang wala, director. I'm his fiancé now and we're madly in love with each other. Siguro, Art just realized that I'm the one he truly love--"

"Wanna go home Monica?" biglang sagot ni Art. Tinignan niya sa Monica, inalis niya ang pagkaka-angkla ng kamay nito sa braso niya. I saw Monica's expression. She seems dissapointed.

Ibinalik ni Monica ang kaniyang braso. "Not yet, we're not even finish discussing things." isang matalim na tingin ang itinapon sa akin Monica. "With your ex fiancé."

I did not replied. Baka kung ano pang masabi ko. I should calculate my moves, each move that I take right now could be my downfall. And I ain't going to let that happen.

Now that it's all clear to me na si Monica ang may kagagawan ng lahat ng paghihirap ko simula nang mawalay si Art sa akin.

She stole his heart while it still beats for me.

Did he cheated? Did he really fell out of love? Ang dami na namang tanong ang bumabalot sa isipan ko.

How long have they been together? Simula ba nung engaged pa kami or after we broke up? And why didn't Art told me that Monica is back? He knows how much I wanted to catch this bitch and I know how he hates her too.

But what the hell is all of this? Bakit... Bakit mahal niya si Monica?

"Sheliah, since sa'yo na 'tong basura na 'to. I'm gonna pull out my professional staffs. Go find a new one starting today." sambit ni Monica.

"Y-you can't do that Ms. Luzarli." pagsabat ni Josephine.

"I can." sinenyasan ni Monica si Lio and Lio pulled out his phone. May tinawagan ito, it's not clear kung sino but I have a feeling na ito ang mga naghahandle sa pelikulang 'to... And if she really pulled them out...

"Madami na kaming sinakripisyo sa pag-shoot sa movie na 'to! Our time! Our efforts! Our energy!" galit na sagot ni Josephine. I can sense her frustration, sino bang hindi?

But all I feel now is numbness.

Pero hindi ako papayag na mapahiya at mag mukhang kawawa.

I cleared my throat and I crossed both of my arms. I flashes a pageant smile. "Then pull them all out, I could start all over again."

Everyone got their own reactions, some are happy and some are not.

Tumawa nang tumawa si Monica. Baliw amp.

"Then that's good babe, start searching for your new leading man 'cause I don't share what's mine."

Hayop. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako o maiinis. Art and I... Developed a bond while shooting.

"At sa tingin mo papayag akong kunin mo si Art sa akin?"

Natigil ang lahat sa sinabi ko, maging si Art napatingin sa akin na may gulat na ekspresyon. What the hell did I just said?

Ipinatong ni Monica ang kamay sa dibdib niya. "Oh, really? Kelan pa naging sa'yo si Art? Let me remind you na ako na ang fiancé niya at hindi ikaw kaya akin siya h'wag kang feeling."

I grinned. "We're engaged but I never claimed him." tumingin ako kay Art. "Do you want to stay with me?"

"Hindi ako papayag!" sumigaw si Monica na ikinagulat ko. "Don't be a bitch Sheliah, huwag kang lumandi sa fiancé ko!"

"Lumande? Duh, I'm not cheap like you." got yah.

Aktong lalapit si Monica sa akin para sampalin ako but Art held her arms tightly.

"Tumigil ka Monica. I will not tolerate you with this." sambit ni Art.

"I'm your fiancé! Bakit kinakampihan mo 'yang malandi na 'yan ha?!"

"Hindi malandi si Sheliah!" mukhang nagulat si Monica nang pagtaasan niya siya ng boses ni Art.

Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha ni Monica. "You will definitely regret this Antonio. Don't you forget."

Biglang lumambit ang mukha ni Art. How did she tamed him?

"I-I'm sorry hun."

He uses our endearment? Mga walang-hiya.

"But I can't leave Sheliah alone with this project. If we're going to start all over again then I'll be his leading man again. I can't leave this..."

"Bakit?! Sumunod ka sa akin Art, you will not accept this offer! We'll flew back Paris."

Paris... Doon sila ikakasal? How romantic.

But I should not get away with this. Art should remain. Kahit na bumalik lahat ng sakit na naramdaman ko dahil sa kaniya. Kahit na sinasaktan niya pa din ako hanggang ngayon, kahit na hindi ko kayang makita at makasama siya simula ngayon.

"Don't control your love one's Monica. Kung ano ang desisyon ni Art, respect it. Be a wife to him now, support his decisions and just help him recover if it gone bad." sagot ko kay Monica.
Pinanliitan ako nito ng mata.

"Don't you dare dictate me. Alam ko ang dapat at hindi ko daoat gawin sa mahal ko."

"Then do it." panghahamon ko sa kaniya.

Ibinaling ni Monica ang kaniyang tingin kay Art. "Will you stay here? Please don't."

Tinitigan siya ni Art. Napatingin ito sa kamay niyabg nakahawak pa din nang mahigpit sa braso ni Monica at binitawan niya ito.

"I can't leave."

"Why?" tanong ni Monica.

"I am the writer of this story... I wrote End Of All The Endings."
