We Belong

Her Feelings II

Still Cristel POV

Ang tagal kong inantay ang pagkakataong ito. Para sabihin sa kanya ang totoo. Im not doing this just to make amends with him. Ginagawa ko to kasi yun yung totoo. MAHAL ko si Aries Kim simula pa nung una. Ako lang mismo ang nagtatak sa isip ko na hindi kami pwede kayat parang nakalimutan ko ang nararamdaman ko na iyon.

Akala ko buo na ang puso ko nang minsan kong ipagkatiwala ito kay Jay. Pero hindi pa rin pala.

Dahil pilit ko lang na itago ang totoo..
Pinilit kolang magsinungaling sa sarili ko at sa mga tao sa paligid ko.
Huli na ata ako :(

Matapos kong ayusin ang mukha ko dahil sa pag-iyak ay nagpasya na akong bumaba. And then I saw them, my parents and his parents with him na pag-uusap. Hayssss mukhang ako nalang pala ang kulang.

"Oh there you are Iha. Malapit na ang dinner bakit ngayon kalang bumaba. San ka galing? ", tita asked.

"Ahm Tita nakatulog po kasi ako sa kabilang kwarto", i said and smiled a little.

"Ok dinner is ready, come here tabi na kayo ni Aries.. We are going to talk about something,"tito said.

Agad naman akong tumalima at tumabi kay Aries. He is very quiet and i can sense the cold aura of his pagkaupo ko sa tabi niya.. Haysssss.. He really dont want me around.. :'(

Aries POV

Tskkkkk.. Sabi na nga bang setup to eh. Alam kong wala ding kaalam alam ang babaeng to at mas lalong walang alam ang mga kaibigan ko. Genius parents huh? Tskkkk.. Pero di yan uubra sakin.. I know na pinaglalapit nila kami pero hinding hindi ako kakagat sa mga ganyan.

"Anyway, we have something to discuss to the both of you, " pagtigil ni Dad. Kung kaya't napatigil naman ako. Naramdaman kong may nakatingin sakin at alam kong si Tel un.

"What is it Dad?, " i asked "is this about business? "Pagpapatuloy ko ng tanong

"I really like your son Drew, he is really something", hangang hanga na sabi ni Mr Lim

"Of course! He is my son anyway", pagmamakaking sabi ni Dad.
"Aries, you are going to manage the company starting on monday with your friends and with Cristel, "seryosong sabi ni Dad

"WHAAAAATTTTT???", pasigaw kong sabi. "DAD are you fuckin serious?"

"Your mouth ARIES, remember that we are on the dining table!!!!", My mom shouted.

Natameme ako coz wala ako sa wisyo ng sinigaw ko yon. I was beyond shock at ayaw ko ang mga nangyayari ngayon. At dumagdag pa ang katabi ko.

"HEY ries calm down upo ka muna", pagpapakalma niya but I dont want to be with her. I dont want to talk to her. I want some peace of mind kaya tumayo ako sa dining at nagpaalam.

"EXCUSE ME, I am already full."

I went to my room and tinawagan si Steph to ask advice. Knowing her, she is my sibling during my stay at NEW JERSEY. Sa kanya ako nagsasabi ng problema even my past about Tel. She is very special to me.

"YES ENGR?",her

"Stephanie!!!", me.

Tinawanan niya lang ako.

"OH? bakit? may problema ba?", she asked

And with that question I already knew na alam na niyang may nangyayari sa akin dito sa Pinas.

Cristel POV

Tulala pa rin ako magmula nang umalis siya sa hapag. My mom and her mom as well as our dads are already talking about what he just did pero I am still stuck. Hindi ko akalain na ganoong laki ang magbabago kay Ries and right now Im so guilty about what happened years ago.

"Cristel IHA?",tita said

"PO??"

"Can we ask what really happened 6 yrs ago?",tita who is nearly crying.

"Baby you can tell us naman e. Wag ganito e kinakabahan kami sa inyo. Your supposed to be happy together just like on the past right. What happened Baby please?",my mom is begging me but I am still not ready to tell them the story. I want to fix it by myself for I am the one who made the mess. I quickly got up from my sit and smile.

"Tita, Mom I am going at his room para dalhan siya ng food".

Kahit nanginginig ang mga tuhod ko at kahit pinagpapawisan ako ng malamig ay gusto ko ulit siyang makausap. Gusto kong iexplain yung side ko at gusto kong ipaintindi ang totoong dahilan ng lahat.

As I get nearer his room, I am counting all the possible curse he will say. I badly want to hug him. I miss my Aries Kim already. The old Aries😥

I was about to knock his door when I saw it open. Naririnig ko ang mumunting tawa ni Ries dahil may katawag siya. And when the person on that Video Chat spoke. I already knew that it was the girl he was talking to kanina.

"Sumama dapat ako sa yo ENGR Kim di sana ginala mo ako. But I want you to enjoy your time though. Bibisita ako jaan after ko umuwi for good", Steph

"You've already decided huh? Handa kanang magpakasal? Churches here are beautiful. We can visit some after you come back",Aries na abot langit ang ngiti.

"Sige sige anywhere with u ENGR. hahahaha.I'll see you soon. IMISSYOU and ILOVEYOU sungit😝", Steph

"ILL see you soon dummy IMISSYOUTOO and ILOVEYOUTOO. ingat ka jaan.", Aries

and with that words i literally dropped the tray na dahilan ng pagtingin niya sakin at salamat nalang dahil wala na ang tawag. I am expecting him to get mad at me kaya inunahan ko na siya.

"I am sorry. I am sorry hindi ko sinasadya. Hindi ka pa kasi nagdidinner and nagprisinta akong dalhan kita. ILL clean it and If maiingayan ka just close the door its soundproof naman Ill just finish this", mahabang litanya ko habang pinupulot ang basag na mga plato at baso.

I was really planning to eat dinner with him para na den makausap ko siya about what I feel but I think I am already late for that.

Dahil siguro malayo ang iniisip ko I didnt realize that I was picking broken glasses kaya nasugatan ako. Huli na nang makita ko and the cut of the wound was deep and mejo malaki. Naapakan ko kasi ang ilan sa mga basag na baso.

"What happened?",he asked in a calm tone.

Masakit man pero mas pinili kong wag itong indain at sumagot ng pilit.
"its nothing. im just picking the broken plates and glasses. go back to your bed", pilit kong ngiti bago bumaba ang aking tingin sa king mga paa. I can feel my feet is aching and I cant bear the pain already pero I need to.

Nagulat nalang ako nang sumigaw siya
"WTF, why there are blood?? Tangina anong nangyari" siya habang nakatingin sa baba ng may tray. My wounded foot is beside that tray.

Dahil ayaw kong ipahalata ay ngumiti nalang ako sabay sagot
"Hey Calm down its n--n--o--thing."

"You are fucking afraid of blood yet you are saying your fine let me see it fuck!!!!", he insisted.

FACTS: I am afraid of blood. Kapag nakakakita ako ay bigla akong manghihina at madalas ay nawawalan ako ng malay.

I close my eyes for I dont want to see it since nakatingin ako sa baba. Im starting to get dizzy but I am insisting
"I-m f-i-n-e R-IIE--S G--OOO"

then everything went black.

End of chapter 4
