Nang Dahil Lang Ba Sa Kulam || (COMPLETED)

Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Those things that occurred 8 years also, was like piling up in my head. How Trevor and I met, how I fell in love, how I discovered that he's my step-brother, how I knew that he was the one under my spell, and how I was devastated because he got my bestfriend pregnant.

Just like what I call before- it was so cliché.

In Harvard, when those things are constantly remembered, I would go lock myself up and cry. Then, El would be worried. Nakasandal at nakaupo lang siya palagi sa pinto, hinihintay akong makalabas.

I smiled.

But now, I can look at them in the eye without hurting. I can smile at the people who made me shattered into pieces.

Just like what they say, time heals everything. And it did.

"I'll just go to the toilet," Ngumiti ako sa mga kaklase ko. Umahon ako sa pool at dire diretsong pumasok sa bathroom. After using the toilet, I washed my hands at lumabas. Nakita ko si Trevor na nakaabang sa harap.

Ilang siyang ngumiti at humugot ng malalim na hininga, "can we talk?"

Tumango ako at sumunod sa kanya. While walking to a garden, I opened up the conversation. "You don't have to be apologetic everytime you see me."

Tumingin siya sa akin, "pero naging gago ako sayo dati."

"It's the past, Trevor. Besides, even though you caused me a lot of pain, I did not regret being with you. I learned a lot."

Ngumiti siya ng mapait, "again, I'm so sorry."

"You don't have to be," I waved my hand in the air. "So, how are you doing with your family?" Ipinalikod ko ang aking dalawang kamay. We continued walking.

His eyes sparkeled, "Were doing great."

"You love them so much, huh?" I surpressed a smile.

"Very much," his eyes were filled with passion. "I love Ayesha and Patricia than anything in this world."

I halted, "wait. Why did you marry two years ago? Isnt it supposed to be after giving birth to your daughter?"

Huminto siya at hinarap ako, "things were still fresh that time. We didn't have the guts to be married after you've left. Halos bugbugin na nga ako ni Grey non, eh." Kinamot niya ang kanyang batok. "Besides, we were college that time. Were still learning." Nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad at patuloy ko siyang sinusundan.

"It must've been hard for the both of you."

"Mmm." He nodded. "Mahirap, lalo na't ang mga tingin nila kay Ayesha." Pain was etched on his face. "But we got throught it all. We didn't regret having Pat at a young age." He smiled with pure happiness, but that smile faded eventually. "Pero walang araw na hindi naman pinagsisihan ang ginawa namin sayo, Zhavia."

I stared at him.

"But seeing you happy like this, relieved us a little bit," he chuckled.

"That's so envious of you." Napangiti ako.

"I think you should marry at your age, too." He suggested.

I pouted, "I haven't found the guy whom I will love, yet."

"How about Elliot and Nathan?"

"Seriosuly? Ganon na ba talaga ka public ang life ko?"

Tumawa siya, "ano nga?"

"They are my precious friends." Napatigil ako sa paglalakad. "But there's a certain someone who made me feel different." Napatingala ako sa kalangitan. "Someone who calls me querida." I bit my lower lip and smiled.
