HEARTBEATS O29
| Truth Untold |
╰☆☆ THIRD PERSON ☆☆╮
Hindi na mabilang kung ilang beses nang napabuntong hininga si Yuan ngayong araw. He's overwhelmed, frustrated, and in pain.
"Why... Why did you keep it a secret?" Tanong ni Yuan na hindi magawang tignan si Yena.
"Yuan." Sambit ni Sigrid na may halong pagbabanta sa kanyang boses.
"May dalawang taong namatay dahil sa ginawa mo." Binalewala ni Yuan si Sigrid at nagpatuloy lang sa pagsasalita. "Yui suffered... and it's all because of you."
Nanatiling nakayuko si Yena habang hawak-hawak ang laylayan ng kanyang damit. Hindi niya magawang mag-angat ng tingin. She's afraid the make an eye contact with anyone.
"Yuan, stop it." Seryosong wika ni Sigrid.
Yuan laughed like a lunatic. "No, you should stop. Stop protecting her, it was all her fault!"
Beau stood up and punched Yuan in the face. Gaganti pa sana si Yuan ngunit agad na pumagitna sa kanila si Sigrid.
"Tumigil kayong dalawa! This no time for your childish games!" Awat ni Sigrid.
"You're her family, why are you being like that? You disappoint me." Beau glared at Yuan before walking away.
"Really? Now? Ako pa talaga ngayon ang masama?" Hindi makapaniwalang wika ni Yuan. "Why? Was I the one who poisoned a person and framed my own sibling?"
"YOU REALLY DON'T GET IT, DON'T YOU?" Tuluyan ng sumabog si Beau at muling tumayo para atakihin si Yuan kaya muling pumagitna si Sigrid upang pigilan silang dalawa sa pag-aaway.
"I DON'T! I don't get why she lied!"
Nakatulala lamang si Minthe ngunit patuloy pa rin sa pag-iyak, she spaced out. Tahimik na pinapanood ni Yohan ang magpipinsang Cortez sa nagkakagulo. Habang si Jiro ay nilapitan si Yena.
"Hey, are you okay?" Hinawakan ni Jiro ang dalawang kamay ni Yena.
Yena lifted her head. Meeting Jiro's eyes. "I-I'm fine."
But her eyes says otherwise. Everyone has a limit and Yena... already reached hers. Tears started to escape from her eyes that hid a million lies.
Jiro leaned forward to give Yena a warm hug. "I don't know what is going on but whatever it is, I promise that I will always be right here for you."
Natigilan sa pag-aaway ang tatlong Cortez nang makarinig sila ng paghikbi. They all looked at Yena who is now crying in Jiro's arms.
"Don't worry, I'm on your side." Jiro whispered. "I got you."
Iritadong binitawan ni Yuan ang kwelyo ni Beau saka marahas itong itinulak.
Masamang tinignan ni Sigrid si Yuan. "Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi, hindi natin alam ang buong kwento kaya tumahimik ka."
"Hindi ko alam ang buong kwento pero hindi pa rin magbabago ang katotohanang nagsinungaling siya." Hindi matapos-tapos ang paninisi ni Yuan dahil silang dalawa ni Yui ang pinaka malapit sa kanilang magpipinsan at lalong hindi niya matanggap na ang kapatid nito ang nasa likuran ng lahat ng iyon.
"Yuan--"
Naputol ang sasabihin ni Sigrid nang magsalita si Yena. "He's right. It's all my fault."
