Liar

"Bitiwan mo 'ko." Madiin kong sinabi.

Kumunot ang noo niya habang pinakatititigan ako.

Pumalag ulit ako pero mas lalo lang niya ulit diniinan ang paghawak sa akin.

"Bakit ka umiiyak? Ha, Amaia?" He asked again.

I clenched my jaw as I fight his glares. "Stop asking, bitiwan mo na lang ako, Gen." You're hurting me.

He didn't do what I said. Instead, he touched my face, wiping my unshed tears while his other hand is still holding my arms tightly.

My heart was beating so loud and fast that I could hear it. I felt uneasy, wondering if Gen is hearing it also.

Iniwas ko ang mukha ko sa kamay niya. Naiwan sa ere ang kamay niya na nasa mukha ko kanina. Ikinuyom niya 'yon at ibinaba.

"You hate me so much, huh?" He said in a serious tone.

I didn't say a thing nor look at him.

"That's why you're crying and doing this..." He paused as he put his hand on my chin and lifted my face. "Dahil kinamumuhian mo ako." He said in front of my face.

My heart pained hearing those words from him. I wanted to say something but I keep my mouth shut.

"Am I right?" Naghahamon niyang tanong. Inilapit niya ang mukha niya sa akin.

I frowned. I was about to turn away but he makes me face to him again using his rough hand that's on my chin.

Masama ko siyang tinignan dahil do'n. How dare he do that?!

Inis akong nag-iwas ng tingin.

"Let's just stop this nonsense-"

"Nonsense? But why this nonsense make you cry? Tama ba ako na dahil kinamumuhian mo ako o... may iba pang dahilan?"

My brows furrowed.

What the hell does he mean by that?

"I don't know what you're saying," I said straight and took off his hand against my chin harshly. I don't know if I'm strong enough to be successful on that or he just let me do that to him. Either way, I didn't care as long as his hand is not on my face.

He raised a brow. "Really."

I don't know if it's just me or something but I saw his eyes twinkled with excitement in a split second.

"I'm gonna ask you again. Why did you cry?"

"Why do you care so much?" I asked calmly. Ayoko ko nang sumigaw dahil nakakapagod. I'm too tired because of this.

"Of course, I cared. I just confessed to you and then you cried out of nowhere. For what reason?"

I gritted my teeth. Tumaas ang kilay niya nang makitang nakatitig ako sa kanya ng masama.

"Ok, then. I'll answer you. I cried because you're right. Kinamumuhian nga kita." I looked away annoyingly.

"Talaga?"

Kumunot ang noo ko at tumingin ulit sakanya. He didn't even sound affected or what. Sabi niya mahal niya ako pero hindi man lang siya nasaktan?

Oh, you're fool, Amaia. He just says that. Hindi naman natin alam kung nagsasabi nga ba siya ng totoo o ano.

"Yes."

"Why, then? Bakit mo ako kinamumuhian?" Naghahamon na naman niyang tanong. "It has to be a reason, Amaia."
