Beyond the Door (Completed)

Chapter 24

I got drunk.

That's all I remember.

Inis kong ginulo ang aking buhok dahil sa hangover na aking nararamdaman.Why can't I remember everything that happened last night?

Dang!

"Angeline, ayos ka lang? You still look sober," saad ni Jeo upang mapatingin ako sa kaniya.

"I'm okay, just a little dizzy."

Napatango siya sa aking saad at uminom sa hawak niyang baso.

I can't help but to yawn as I closed my eyes. A sudden flash of memory flashed in my mind while yawning.

"Tobias..."

Matapos kong sabihin iyon ay agad na nagsibaksakan ang aking mga luha. Lumakas ang aking pag-iyak, sumabay pa ang malakas na tugtog. Ngumawa ako nang ngumawa, hanggang sa may humapit sa aking bewang. Dahilan para mapatigil ako.

"Why would a lady like you cry like a baby?" An unfamiliar voice interrupted.

Napatingin naman ako sa lalaking iyon.

"Sino ka?" paos kong saad. Hindi pinapansin ang matatalas na tingin na binibigay ni Tobis na nasa aming kaharap at mariing tinitigan ang lalaki.

"I'm a nobody, but I am also not an asshole to not interrupt into this drama situation," he answered.

Drama situation?

"Let go of her," Tobias roared. He pulled my wrist away from him but the mysterious guy hold mine tighter. The guy didn't even flinch by Tobias presence as he glanced at him.

"Why would I? You made her cry. You let her go," he answered. Tobias' jaw tightened as he immediately closed his eyes.

Mabilis akong kumawala sa kanilang pagkakahawak at pasuray-suray na naglakad palayo.

"I have no time for this... bullshits," mabagal kong saad.

Ngunit agad akong napatigil nang maramdamang kong may bumuhat sa akin.

"T... teka! Hoy!" Mahigpit akong napahawak sa balikat ng lalaki at mabilis na napatingin sa kaniya.

"Who are you? Why—"

"Stop. You're drunk," the handsome stranger said.

I bit my lower lip as I looked down. Everything happened so fast, that next thing I knew that I was in someone's arms. His familiar coldness embraced my warmth.

My breathing hitched as I looked up. "No one dares to touch my Angel," mababa ngunit may diin nitong saad.

Nanlalabo ang aking paningin kaya tahimik akong sumandal sa kaniyang dibdib. Ramdam ko ang kaniyang pagtigil at paghigpit sa pagyakap sa akin.

"Sleep, my love... I'll take care of you," he whispered as he walked passed the mysterious guy.

A silent tear escaped on my eye as darkness overcome.

What... the hell. Did that all happened last night?

Mahina akong napabuntong-hininga at pabagsak na ibinagsak ang aking noo sa aking lamesa. Ramdam ko ang pagtalon ni Jeo sa aking ginawa at pagdura nito sa kapeng iniinom.

"Angeline! Hoy, ayos ka lang?!" natataranta niyang saad at mabilis na lumapit sa akin.

Patamad kong itinaas ang aking paningin sa kaniya at maliit na ngumiti. "Oo... siguro," sagot ko.
