But I think that's already enough patience for today when I heard him add something that made my blood boil.
"Kinain mo lang lahat ng sinabi mo, Raegan."
Marahas na bumaling ako sa kaniya nang marinig ang nanunuya niyang pahayag. He was not even looking at me face to face, like I'm the least interesting thing to look at.
"Really, Zardeleja? You have the nerve to tell me that after what you did?"
Tinapunan niya lamang ako ng tingin saka umismid.
"I did nothing wrong. You just didn't trust me enough."
I scoffed unbelievably. How dare him talk about trust with me?
"Then how will you explain why you're naked with Vivienne years ago? Huh? Anong ginawa niyo sa kama? Nagpitik bulag?", nauubos ang pasensya na tanong ko.
He looked at me, confused.
"Hindi ko alam ang sinasabi mo."
I rolled my eyes in utter disbelief. "You're even denying it? I saw it with my naked eyes, Zardeleja! Huwag mo akong gawing sinungaling!", I said in anger, not minding if I'm already raising my voice.
Bumuntong hininga siya na waring kinakalma pa ang sarili saka humarap sa akin.
"Alright. Let's settle this for once and not let it stretch any longer. Hindi ko talaga naiintindihan ang mga paratang mo sa'kin noon pa man. Ano bang ibig mong sabihin? You saw me in bed with her? What? You flew abroad five years ago?", naguguluhan niyang tanong.
"Oo! Right after your hell of a father said that she's there with you!"
"What does it have to do with my father again, Raegan?", may bahid ng inis niyang sambit.
My shoulder dropped the moment he said that. Napamaang na lamang ako sa kaniya. Ang tono niya ay waring pagod na pagod na sa pagsali ko lagi kay Vince Zardeleja sa tuwing nagtatalo kami. Pigilan ko man ang sarili ay nakaramdam pa rin ako ng pinong kurot sa dibdib.
Of course, until now he would still defend him.
"You're so stupid for someone who was branded to be so smart, Zardeleja.", there's just too much disappointment in my voice.
Ngunit waring hindi niya alintana ang sinabi ko. He just stepped closer to me and clenched his jaw as he stared at me darkly.
"So was that the reason you suddenly got engaged? Dahil sa tingin mo ay may nangyari sa amin ni Vivienne?"
He furrowed his brows and went speechless at the moment, like he was hardly processing everything.
When I didn't respond, he scoffed.
"Really? After everything, Raegan? How can you even doubt me?", there were too much accusations laced in his voice.
Mas lalo lang akong nagalit.
"Doubt you? I saw what I saw!"
"And you didn't even talk to me to clarify it out? Tinalikuran mo ako nang basta basta nang hindi mo man lang ako kinausap para kumpirmahin kung ano talaga ang nangyari?"
Hindi ako nakasagot. Eksaktong tumigil ang elevator at bumukas iyon. There are few people waiting outside of the door throwing questioning look at us. Pero mistulang walang pakialam si Levi doon.
He looked up at the ceiling and calm himself down. Pagtingin niya sa akin muli ay bumuntong hininga siya.
"Come with me.", madilim ang boses na saad niya saka hinigit ako.
Nagmamadali ang mga lakad na hila-hila niya ako sa braso papunta sa parking lot.
"Ano ba, Levi?! Let me go!", angil ko at nagpumiglas nang magpatuloy siya sa paghila sa akin.
