Naomi Cleomonte's pov
I held my breath as I stood there with no emotion.
Ito na ba ang kinakatakutan ko? Ang oras na malalaman na niya ang lahat at lalayuan na niya ako?
"Is that true...Naomi?" I heard Yves ask. I clench my fist behind my back to calm myself. Hearing her voice makes me want to pull her closer to me and hug her so tight. I miss her so much.
"Naomi...I'm asking you. Is Kyline your fiancée?" Muli niyang tanong.
Nilingon ko siya at walang emosyong tiningnan.
"Yes. That's true."
"W-What?" Yves stutters as she looks at me with pain visible in her eyes.
"Oh... she didn't tell you that, little sister? Well, that sucks." I heard Kyline say while tracing the gun at Yves's face. She looks at me and smirks bago mag paawa ulit. "I guess it's her plan all along. Ang pag laruan tayong dalawa."
I clench my jaw and steady my breathing. I can't let Kyline see that I'm affected.
"Why?" Mahina at halos pabulong na tanong ni Yves. Kita ko ang sakit sa mga mata niya habang nakatingin siya sa akin.
My heartache at the sight of her.
'Because that's the only choice I have... She'll kill you and Yuan kapag hindi ako pumayag na maging Fiancée niya...'
Hindi ako sumagot at nanatili lang na nakatingin sa kaniya ng malamig.
"Bakit Naomi!? Anong kasalanan ko sayo para ganitohin mo ako? Para pag laruan mo ang damdamin ko!?" She shouted. Tumulo na ang luhang kanina niya pang pinipigilan.
Parang pinipiga ang puso ko habang nakatingin sa kaniya.
I knew this day would come. At alam kong kakamuhian niya ako pag katapos ng lahat ng 'to. Gusto kong lumapit sa kaniya at punasan ang mga luhang lumalandas sa kaniyang pisnge pero hindi ako pwedeng mag pakita ng kahit anong emosyon.
I need to make Kyline think na wala talaga akong pakealam kay Yves. I need to let her think na mag kakampi kami.
"Oh, don't be so dramatic Yves. I'm just bored that time and I was looking for someone to play with." Malamig kong turan. I bit my lips hard after what I said.
'I'm so sorry darling... I'm just doing this for your safety. Just hang on, it will be over soon.'
Narinig ko naman ang pag tawa ni Kyline. "You really thought na may mag mamahal sayo? Pathetic, just like your Mom."
I really wanna slap this bitch so much.
"So lahat ng yun...parte lang ng laro mo? All the sweet words, kisses, and I love you's? All of that is part of your g-game?" I heard Yves ask again ignoring Kyline's comment.
Nag iwas naman ako ng tingin sa kaniya. Hindi ko na siya kayang tingnan dahil baka hindi ko na kayang itago ang emosyon ko kapag nakita ko ang reaction niya.
'No baby... all of that is true. I love you with all my heart, you're the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm so sorry...'
"Yes Yves. All of that is just a part of my games." Nahihirapan kong sagot. Muntik pa akong pumiyok ng sumagot ako sa tanong niya.
Alam kong sobrang nasasaktan ko na siya ngayon pero ito lang ang paraan para mailigtas ko kayo.
"Kahit ba konti wala kang naramdaman para sa'kin?"
Napalunok ako bago siya tiningnan at ngumisi sa kaniya bago umiling iling. "Should I feel something for you? Come on Yves, you're not that special."
Fuck! I want to kill myself right now. Every word that leaves my mouth is like a stab of a knife. Pero alam kong mas masakit ang epekto nun sa kaniya.
I'm such a monster for hurting her like this.
Tumawa naman si Kyline bago binitawan si Yves kaya napaluhod siya sa may sahig. I fought the urge to run to her and carry her away from this place.
"This is so fun, I really enjoy seeing you suffer. Too bad it's about to end." Kyline said and laugh again bago itutok ang baril sa nakaluhod na si Yves sa may sahig at nakayuko habang umiiyak.
Nataranta naman ako kaya agad akong lumapit kay Kyline at hinawakan siya sa may braso para pigilan siya sa kung anong balak niyang gawin.
"Babe, do you really need to kill her? I mean, she's nothing. She's just a waste of time, let's just leave her here." Kunyaring malambing kong turan kay Kyline. Tumingin naman si Kyline sa akin bago tumingin ulit kay Yves.
"Hmm... let me think." She said and walk towards Yves while playing with the gun in her hands.
"Yeah, you're right. Let's just leave her here and kill his little brother. That will make her suffer even more!" Tila parang excited na excited pa nitong turan.
Nag sisimula ng kumulo ang dugo ko sa babaeng ito. Konti nalang talaga at ako na mismo ang papatay sa kaniya. Kung hindi ko lang sinusunod ang plano namin nila Honey sana ay kanina ko pang nataniman ng bala ang ulo niya.
"Leave my brother alone. Kill me if you want but don't you dare lay a finger on Yuan." Yves said. Her voice is cold. Nakakatakot ang aura niya. Para siyang hindi si Yves. Isang beses ko lang siyang nakitang ganito, nung sinabi nag away sila ni Yuan before nung nag pakitang muli si Kyline sa kaniya.
Nakita ko naman ang pag ngisi ni Kyline. "Oh, scary. You remind me of your Father, mag kamukha kayo at mag kaugali ang pinag kaiba niyo lang ay siya nasa kabilang buhay na ikaw, papunta papunta palang."
Umalingaw ngaw ang pag tawa ni Kyline sa buong paligid. Mababakas naman sa mukha ni Yves ang pag kagulat. "H-he's dead?"
"Uh-huh. I killed him when he was trying to save you and your brother that night. Hindi ko alam kung bakit niya nalaman kung nasaan kayo, basta ang alam ko lang ay kung hindi siya nangialam ng gabing yun ay sana buhay pa siya. Well, I guess he loves the two of you so much kaya he's willing to die para sa inyo." Saad ni Kyline. I can feel the hatred laced in her voice when she said that.
I know why Kyline is doing this. She's desperate for love and attention. She blames Yves and her Mom for the death of her Mother. Kaya gumawa siya ng plano na kuhanin ang loob nila para pag higantihan.
Kita kong napalingon sa akin ni Yves.
"Come here Naomi." Utos naman sa'kin ni impakta at ngumisi kay Yves. Ngumiti naman ako ng peke bago sinunod ang utos niya.
Umupo siya sa harap ni Yves para mag kapantay sila bago niya hinawakan ng mahigpit ang muka ni Yves at pinaharap iyon sa kaniya. Hinigit niya ako at walang pasabing hinalikan sa harap ni Yves habang pilit itong pinapatingin.
Nagulat ako sa ginawa niya at muntik ng masuka ng basta niya ipasok ang nakakadiri niyang dila sa loob ng bibig ko.
She was about to pull away nang marinig ko ang boses ng kanina ko pang hinihintay.
"Distract her. Papasok na kami." About a fucking damn time!
Madiin kong ipinikit ang mata ko at inisip na para ito sa kaligtasan ni Yves. I deepened the kiss before slowy pushing Kyline down the cement floor.
I roam my hands on Kyline's body. I heard her disgusting moan kaya muntik ko na siyang sikmuraan.
"I said to distract her but not like that! Fuck you Naomi, my sister-in-law is fucking hurting! Pwede bang ikaw nalang ang barilin ko? Damn you!" I heard Margaux say and pull me away from Kyline.
"Who is tha--" Margaux punched Kyline kaya napatigil ito sa pag sasalita.
"That's for hurting my sister-in-law! You fucking bitch!" Sigaw ni Margaux at balak pa ulit suntukin si Kyline ng awatin na siya ng mga pulis na kasama nila.
Honey is the one who called them. Sinadya kong kuhanin ang atensyon ni Kyline para makatakas si Honey at makahingi ng tulong kila Margaux.
"Miss McKenna that's not necessary." A police man said to Margaux pero hindi naman ito pinakinggan ng baliw kong kapatid at sinuntok nanaman si Kyline kaya dumugo ang ilong nito.
Wala namang pakealam si Kyline sa pag suntok ni Margaux at malungkot lang akong tiningnan.
"I trusted you... You're just like them." She said before shaking her head in disappointment
Kita kong hinila nila ito patayo bago pinosasan sa kamay. "Kyline Fernandez Keller, you are under arrest for the murder of Charlotte Galvez and Dominick Keller and also for kidnapping Yves Galvez Keller. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you."
"I can afford a fucking lawyer, I'm not poor. Honey! Call my lawyer, no--" Naputol ang sasabihin ni Kyline ng sikmuraan siya ni Honey bago malakas na sampalin.
"That's for taking my daughter away from me and for killing her father. I should have killed you when I had the chance." Galit na turan ni Honey bago si Kyline hilahin palabas ng mga pulis.
"Damn, you punch so good. High five!" Margaux said happily while looking at Honey. Nag apir nga ang dalawa habang naiiling nalang ang pulis at binigyan nalang sila ng last na warning bago sumunod sa iba pa niyang mga kasama palabas.
Hindi ko na naman sila binigyan ng pansin at agad na lumapit kay Yves.
"Don't..." I heard her say before I can even come near her.
Pilit siyang tumayo at nag punas ng luha sa muka bago nag lakad papalayo sa akin.
"Yves... please, just listen to me." Mahina kong turan at binalak ulit siyang lapitan pero nilingon niya ako at tiningnan ng walang emosyon sa mata.
"Listen to your lies? No. Not again." She said and turn her back to me again.
"No, I didn't lie about my feelings for you, Yves. I'm sorry for saying those hurtful words earlier but I did it for you. I did it for your safety. I never lie to you about anything Yves. I can never lie to you."
Tumigil siya at nilingon akong muli. "You said that you can never lie to me, then tell me Naomi... did you know me before we even met?"
I gulp and look away from her. This is the nightmare that I'm avoiding. This is the nightmare that I can't escape 'cause I could lose the woman I love if I escape.
With shaky hands, I answered. "Yes."
"For how long?"
"Since Kyline came into your life. I was there, in the shadows...following and watching, making sure na walang mangyayaring masama sa inyo." Pag amin ko at dahan dahan siyang hinarap. Walang emosyong makikita sa kaniyang mga mata na siyang ikinadagdag ng takot na aking nararamdaman.
Hindi ko mabasa kung anong iniisip niya.
"Why? Did Kyline ask you to do that as well?" Agad naman akong umiling iling.
"No... your father is the one who asks me to watch the three of you. He knew that Kyline is up to something that's why he wants to make sure that the three of you are safe."
I heard her scoff. "Really? Then why did my Mom died kung binabantayan mo pala kami? Bakit hindi mo napigilan si Kyline na hugotin ang life support ni Mama?"
Nakagat ko ang ibabang labi ko. I'm afraid to meet her eyes. Alam kong hindi niya ako mapapatawad sa isasagot ko sa kaniya.
I took a deep breath before closing my eyes tightly. "Kyline didn't do it. I did..."
"W-what?"
Nag mulat ako ng mata para tingnan siya. Hindi siya makapaniwalang nakatingin sa akin.
"She said that she wants to rest. The truth is, your Mother's operation is not succesful, nakiusap lang siya sa doctor na sabihin sa inyo na naging maayos ang operasyon niya para hindi kana mag alala. Ayaw ka na din daw niyang mahirapan pa kaya nakiusap siya sa akin na tapusin na ang pag hihirap niya. Wala akong choice kung sundin ang kahilingan niya. Nang binubot ni Kyline ang life support ng Mommy mo ay sadyang...hindi na siya nahinga. Umepekto na ang gamot na itinurok sa kaniya for mercy killing... I'm sorry."
"So... why didn't you tell me? You knew all along kung anong totoong nangyari pero hindi mo sinabi sa akin! Instead you asked me about it na para bang wala kang ideya sa nangyari! You made me believe na wala ka talagang alam! And I trusted you... turns out, pinapaikot mo lang pala ako sa palad mo!" Galit nitong sigaw sa akin.
Hindi ako umimik at nanatili lang tahimik. Tinatanggap ang mga salitang ibinabato niya sa akin. I deserve it.
"Nung gabing binenta ako, alam mo din ba na mangyayari yun? Plinano mo ba yun para makuha ang loob ko!?"
I shook my head. "No... Kyline is the one who planned it."
"Of course. And you knew about it 'cause you're her fucking fiancée. Hahaha I'm so fucking stupid!" She sarcastically said. Sinabutan niya ang sarili niya bago marahas na pinunasan ang luha sa kaniya mga mata.
"I don't have a choi--"
"Miss Cleomonte, please do me a favor..." Pag putol niya sa akin. "Please stay away from me and Yuan, for the rest of our lives.."
