ZION'S POV
I'm here at the mall strolling around. I got bored in the house so I decided to go out. I'm not hungry, I'm just bored.
I went inside of the Home and Fashion to see if I could buy anything that catches my eye. I was just looking around, I could't find something that fits my taste. Until my eye found a woman with a guy, and it looks like they're fighting.
The woman seemed familiar to me. She's wearing a simple stripe dress, but it somehow looked beautiful on her. What the hell am I saying? I don't usually compliment women except for my mom and my sister, but I can't deny her goddess beauty.
I didn't wanna eavesdrop but my guts was telling me to listen to their conversation. So I came nearer, and I confirmed who the girl is. Its Martha Maxenne!
"Tantanan mo na'ko, Kyle!" she said.
"Hindi! Hindi ako titigil hangga't hindi ka bumabalik sakin! You're mine Martha! Mine only!"
the boy named Kyle said.
"Ano ba? Hiwalay na tayo! Hinding-hindi na ako babalik sa'yo!"
"Hindi mo ako pwedeng iwan, Martha! Hindi ako papayag!" he pulled her wrist tighly. Bakit ba niya pinipilit yung babae? Tss.
"Ano ba! Bitawan mo'ko!" sinubukan niya tanggalin ang kamay niya, pero masyadong malakas yung lalaki.
"Hindi! Babalikan moko! Sa ayaw at gusto mo!" he began pulling her but she kept on struggling. I need to do something.
"A-ano ba! Nasasaktan na'ko, Kyle!" she said and that made me move. Nilapitan ko sila at sinamaan ng tingin 'yung lalaki.
"Let her go." I commanded. But he just laughed.
"At bakit kita susundin? Sino ka ba?" nakangising tanong niya
"I said let her go." mas may diin na utos ko.
"Give me one reason para bitawan ko siya!" he exclaimed.
"Because.." ano nga ba ang sasabihin ko?
"What?!" inip na tanong niya.
"Because she's my girlfriend." gusto kong sapakin ang sarili ko sa sinabi. Why did I say that?!
"G-girlfriend? Impossible! She loves me!"
"Let go of my girlfriend or I will break every bone in your body." I looked at Maxenne, she was confused as well with the situation. I gave her a just-play-along look and mukhang naintindihan niya naman.
"Totoo ba, Martha? Boyfriend mo siya?" tanong nung ex niya.
"Y-yes, boyfriend ko siya." walang nagawa yung Kyle kundi ang bitawan siya.
"Let's go, babe." I said and grabbed her hand and pulled her somewhere. Nang makalayo kami ay inis niya akong tiningnan.
"What the hell was that?!" she asked, mad.
"What? I just saved you from your crazy ex-boyfriend."
"Sinabi ko bang iligtas mo'ko?!" she shouted.
"Woah, aren't you gonna thank me first?"
"At bakit naman ako magte-thank you?!" Dang, why is she mad?
"C'mon, I saved you,"
"Wow ha! At talagang humihingi ka ng kapalit?!"
"Hoy, ikaw na nga 'tong tinulungan, ikaw pa 'tong galit." inis na saad ko. Can't she atleast say 'thankyou' ?
"S-sorry, thank you." I don't know, but my heart felt warm when she said that. Dang, am I crazy?
"Tss, welcome."
"Tsk, ang sungit."
"What's your name again? Martha?" I acted like I didn't know his name.
"Martha Maxenne, and you are?"
"Maximo Zion." Inilahad niya ang kaniyang kamay at tinanggap ko naman.
"Nice meeting you, Zion." for the first time, she smiled. Darn! Her smile made my heart skip a beat- wait what? Ang corny!
"Likewise, Maxenne." I couldn't help but smile. Aishh you're crazy, Max.
"I need to go, thank you again for saving me." she
said.
"My pleasure." she waved at me before walking away and I find it cute. Tsk tsk.
My phone vibrated and I opened it, I have a facebook notification. I opened Facebook, and couldn't help but smile as I read the notification.
Martha Maxenne accepted your friend request.
ALEX'S POV
Nandito ako ngayon sa mall at hindi ko mapigilang ngumisi sa nakita ko. Si Zion at may kausap siyang babae, hindi lang babae, magandang-magandang babae. Tsk tsk, mga galawang De Villa ah Hahahahaha!
Napailing-iling nalang ako habang naglalakad papuntang parking lot. Napawi ang ngisi ko nang may mapamilyaran akong mukha, sigurado akong kilala ko ang mukhang yun. Mas lumapit ako at biglang nanlamig buo kong katawan sa nakita ko.
Si Monica..na may kasamang lalaki. Hindi lang basta-bastang kasama, kahalikan niya ito sa isang sulok. Nanghina ang buong sistema ko. Naglakad ako palapit sa kanila. Nang makita ko na sila ng malapitan ay nagtago ako para hindi nila ako makita. Doon ko lang napagtanto na yun ang lalaking nakita kong kahalikan niya rin sa bahay niya.
"Kyle, wait." sabi ni Francine.
"Why? What's wrong?" that Kyle said. Who is he?!
"We shouldn't be doing this." she said. Somehow, I got curious.
"Why not? C'mon babe-" What the?! 'Babe'?!
"Stop! Kakabreak niyo lang nung ex-girlfriend mo tapos ngayon kahalikan kita? Thats so cheap for me!" sabi niya. She's right. You're better than that, baby.
"What?! I don't care! C'mon babe," he started kissing her neck but she pushed him away. Napakuyom ang palad ko. That asshole is touching what's mine, and I hate it!
"I said- stop it!" she said, irritated.
"Bakit ba?! This isn't the first time we kissed, Francine. Why are you acting like this?" he asked, confused.
"Look, I have a boyfriend-"
"So? Hindi ka naman ganiyan dati ah, okay lang sayo na ganito tayo kahit may boyfriend ka. What happened now?"
"That was before! Nakokonsensiya na ako!" she said.
"Why? Naiinlove ka na ba 'don? How about your sister? How will she react if she finds out that you betrayed her? Huh?" he smirked.
"Of course not! I won't! Never!" she shouted. Nakaramdam ako ng paninikip sa dibdib when she said that. Ang sakit. Ang sakit-sakit.
"Oh, then stop worrying about him." he's kissing her neck again and I can see the uneasiness in her face. "I want you so bad, babe. I want you tonight." Lahat ng dugo sa aking katawan ay umakyat sa ulo ko nang marinig ang sinabi niya.
"What?! No!" tanggi niya.
"Sige na, I promise, you will enjoy it and therefore you'll beg for it." he said and started to go down on her chest. Kaunti na lang, mapapatay ko 'tong gunggong na 'to!
"What the hell, Kyle?! Hanggang halik ka lang! Stop it!" she tried to push him away but he just grabbed her hand and pinned her to the wall.
"C'mon, I know you want this." Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko nang bumaba ang kamay niya sa hita ni Francine at ipinasok sa damit niya. Lumapit na ako at sinuntok siya ng paulit-ulit. Gulat naman si Francine sa nakikita niya.
"L-lex! Tama na yan!" sinubukan niya kaming awatin pero hindi ako nagpatinag. How dare he harass my girlfriend?!
"'Wag na 'wag mong babastusin ang girlfriend ko kung ayaw mong paglamayan kinabukasan!" galit na galit kong sabi.
"Tama na, Lex!" inawat na niya ako at tumayo ako at inayos ang sarili. Puno na ng dugo ang mukha niya pero nagawa niya paring ngumisi.
"Tss, naiinggit ka kasi hindi mo kayang gawin 'yun sa kaniya bro?" he laughed.
"Una, wag na wag mo'kong matatawag na BRO, hindi kita kapatid. And lastly, hindi ako inggit, kaya kong gawin ang ginawa mo, I could even do better than that, pero ayoko, because I respect her. RESPECT, something that you don't have." sabi ko at hinatak si Francine palayo sa lugar na iyon. She was still looking at me, dumbfounded.
Nang makarating kami sa kotse ko ay pinapasok ko siya at pumasok na rin ako.
"Are you okay? Nasaktan ka ba?" I asked her worriedly.
"O-okay lang ako.." she said and I sighed in relief.
"L-lex, i'm sorry." she said, bowing her head.
"Its okay, it's not your fault that you got harassed."
"No, i'm sorry... for cheating on you..." she sobbed and I felt my heart being stabbed, I hate seeing her cry.
"Shhh, its okay. I should be the one sorry, I didn't make myself enough that you had to cheat on me."
"No, kasalanan ko, i'm really sorry, Lex. I-I think we should just b-break up.." she said and my whole body just froze for a moment.
FRANCINE'S POV
"No, kasalanan ko, i'm really sorry, Lex. I-I think we should just b-break up.." I said and I felt my heart ached.
"What? N-no, baby please, hindi ko kaya.." Lex held my hand and I looked up to see him, tears were rolling down his cheeks already. I don't deserve your tears, baby.
"I don't wanna hurt you more, Lex. Maybe its better this way. I'm causing you pain."
"Its fine, ayos lang ako. Baby, I love you so much that I don't care if I get hurt. Its part of Love, pain is part of Love, baby. And i'm willing to take it all for you." he said and I felt my heart ached even more. Do I deserve this man? He's too good for me.
"B-but I cheated on you, you should hate me. I'm a worthless girlfriend." napahagulhol na naman ako. Totoo, wala akong kwentang girlfriend. Palagi ko nalang siyang sinasaktan, ang sama kong tao.
"How can I hate you? I love you to the point that I can't hate you, France. I don't care what you did, I love you for who you are, I love everything about you, including your flaws and imperfections." he held my chin and lifted it up. He brushed my tears with his tumb and I can't help but smile by his gentle touch.
"I-I don't h-have feelings for y-you.." gusto kong bugbugin ang sarili ko nang sabihin ko iyon. I expected him to walk out, but instead, he just smiled. A smile with pain.
"I know." he said.
"Alam mo?"
"Oo, I heard what you said earlier." I saw pain in his eyes and I felt really guilty. Nasaktan ko na naman siya.
"S-sorry.." all I could say was 'sorry'.
"Alam kong wala kang nararamdaman para sa'kin. But let me make you feel how much I love you until the time comes that you can love me back." he caressed my cheeks.
"P-pero-"
"Please?" he begged and I nodded.
"Okay, then." I said and he smiled. I so love that smile.
But i'm scared, i'm scared that i'll fall for him tho I'm slowly falling. Yes, i'm a big liar, I lied to myself. But sometimes, there are things that shouldn't be told. I'm sorry, Chesca.
