Lies Beneath the Mask [COMPLETED]

15

Days passed and still I can't get enough of the vacation, my mind keeps on saying I wanna go back there

I'm in a café with Cath, it's been a month since I last meet her kaya ganun nalang namin ka miss ang isa't isa

"So, how's the so called vacation?"she asked

"Let's go back there soon"napatili ako, remembering the beautiful place "Ang ganda talaga doon"I smiled at nowhere

"Halata nga"he sarcastically said, napangiwi ako saka uminom ng staa ko

"So, what's new? I haven't heard anything from you since nagbakasyon kami"I tried to open a new topic

"Wala naman, nothing changed. I'm still pretty"she rolled her eyes, I just laugh "Pero syempre, you're more than pretty"she added

"Let's go to the mall after this"aya ko, nagthumbs up lang siya

No one dared to talk when Cath suddenly talked

"So, what's going on you and Kenzo?"I stopped, I look at her with frustration

"What do you mean?"I curiously asked

"You know what I mean, Thiara Mariz"she rolled her eyes

I sighed and took a deep breath, sumimsim muna ako ng staa ko bago siya hinarap

"Well, according to Papà some of their properties are currently on process para ilipat sa pangalan niya"I sighed again "You know, I feel guilty"nagkibit balikat ako "I know it's not right to just get others properties without them knowing it"

"And the next thing I'm worried is, why I need to hurt someone just to fulfill Papà's want? As I see the real Kenzo, guilt was starting to consume me. There's no time that I keep on saying sorry kahit ako lang mismo ang nakakarinig, I want to bay apologize ngayon palang. Kung pwede lang na ihinto na to ngayon na ay gagawin ko na, hindi lang siya ang masasaktan Cath, ako rin"napayuko ako

"What do you mean, pati ikaw masasaktan?"I looked at her, her face was in shock. She misunderstood my point

"Of course I will be hurt, ako yung may alam sa lahat but I continue doing it. You know me Cath, my heart gets soft sa mga ganyang bagay"

"Tell your dad after he transfer the properties to his name, you and Kenzo will end up"she smiled

Hindi na ako nagsalita saka tinapos nalang ang pagkain, hindi rin kami nagtagal ng café saka dumeretso ng mall.

We went to different sections of the mall, most especially sa clothes section and bags. I actually don't need to buy a new one but I remember I'm donating all my bags that I used once

Paroon kami at parito sa loob ng mall, tatakbo kapag may makikitang pamilyar. We want to spend the day together, I missed this girl so much.

"I'll get going, go to work okay?"she tapped my shoulder

"I will, takecare okay?"I reminded her

"You too, bye"she waved her hands

"Bye, Iloveyou"

"Iloveyoutoo"she kissed my cheeks as well as me

I waited till her car cannot be seen anymore, nakahinga ako ng maluwag bago sumakay ng sasakyan saka umuwi

"I'm home"magiliw na sigaw ko pagkapasok ng bahay

"Welcome home then"a voice suddenly came from nowhere

I just smiled and open my arms wider, natigilan ako nang maramdamang may nakayakap sa bewang ko mula sa likuran

"You smells good"he said

"All the time"then I laughed

We went to the kitchen with him hugging me from back, hindi ko alam paano kaming nakaabot sa kusina nang ganoon ang sitwasyon

We laughed and laughed until we both feel hungry, tumayo siya saka nagumpisang magluto

I was just sitting here, watching him doing things na ako dapat ang gumagawa. Napangiti ako pero agad ding nawala iyon nang mag vibrate ang phone ko, agad ko namang binuksan iyon at binasa ang text.

From:Papà

You're doing well, Thiara.
Days left

I sighed and just watch him again cooking, blanko ang isip ko nang maglapag siya ng pagkain sa harapan ko

"Will you forgive me?"I asked out of nowhere

"Of course I will"he smiled

"Even if I made the biggest mistake?"I asked again

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Cause I love you"he whispered "I love you"
