Someone's pov
A playful smirk drew on my lips as I saw one of my disciple men walking in from the door of my territory.
"What's up? Are you doing well keeping Ciara's life out of Tyron's hand? Your face saying it all, what happened? "I asked him when he was finally able to get closer to where I was. I looked at his face for a moment when the excitement was so visible from his eyes.
She's doing fine, right? Ciara's fine.
"They're doing fine. I guess? Mukhang nagpapatayan na sila, eh. "He replied with a smirk on his face, unconsciously, I immediately hit him which surprised him.
"Tarantado, anong sinabi mo?!" I exclaimed. Ears couldn't believe what I heard from him, a shock was trace all over my face because that's not the news I expected him to bring to me.
"Aray! Gago naman, para saan 'yun? Problema mo? Bigla-bigla ka na lang nanghahampas diyan?" He complained as his eyebrow furrowed. Lips loosen up due to shock but I just glared at him.
"Stupid! Nakinig ka ba talaga sa mga sinabi ko? Hindi ba't ang sabi ko ay bantayan mo si Ciara nang maigi! Hindi ko sinabing panoorin mo lang kung paano siyang pahirapan ng lalaking 'yun, stupido! Huwag na huwag mong hahayaan na mamatay si Ciara sa kamay ng lalaking 'yun, dahil sinasabi ko talaga sa'yo! Ililibing kita ng buhay oras na malaman-laman ko na nag-aagaw buhay 'yun." I said irritably, the tone of my voice is obviously giving him a warning, that made his lips set in a hard line.
Fucking hell, Ciara's life could not be ruined just because of that asshole.
"Ano ka ba, ssob. Just think about it again. Sabihin na nating nasusubaybayan ko nga siya mula sa malayo, pero ang tanong. May magagawa ba ako kung parati na lang saktan ni Tyron si Ciara? Alam mo namang hindi ako basta pwedeng makialam sa buhay nila, hindi niya maaaring malaman na nagmamanman ako sa loob ng bahay nila malaman lang 'yung kondisyon ni Ciara." He explained while still caressing his nape where I just hit him earlier.
Out of anger, I didn't realize that I was burying the knife I was holding hard from the table where I was sitting. The pair of my eyes were glaring somewhere, while there's a scene in my mind that is playing where I am unstoppable and continuously stabbing his chest, while an evil grin was plastered against my lips. So happy and feeling relieved that I can finally kill him in the way I wanted to.
"Wala ka na talagang ginawang tama sa buhay mo, Tyron. Isa kang malaking pagkakamali at hadlang sa buhay niya. Sinisiguro ko lang talaga sa'yo, oras na magtagpo ang landas nating dalawa, hindi ko sasayangin ang oras na pahirapan ka sa paraan na hindi mo magugustuhan."
Those hard-headed people like you deserve to be buried in your own grave, Tyron. You're such an asshole. You deserve nothing but a death that you surely won't expect.
"Hey, baby. Chill." I immediately turned my glare to the person standing in front of me when I heard him whisper those words with a playful grin on his face that made me cringe a lot.
"Stop fooling around, Kupido. Hindi mo ako kaibigan na pwedeng mong kausapin ng ganyan. Boss mo ako rito at para lang sa trabaho ang ginagawa natin, kaya manahimik ka kung ayaw mong ikaw ang unahin kong patumbahin." I mumble while keeping my damn face straight, showing him no interest at all, on whatever he was saying and more especially in his whole personality. It's annoying me.
I heard him chuckle, "Chill ka lang ssob, ikaw naman hindi ka mabiro. Hindi ko naman alam na seseryosohin mo 'yung sinabi ko, eh. Huwag kang mag-alala, bossing, hindi naman talaga 'ko interesado sa'yo." He said and wink at me and without a thought I just find myself kicking him that made him almost stumbled on the ground when he just lost his balance.
I was even be able to point at him the knife I was holding because of annoyance. But I just heard him chuckled again as if I did something funny that made him wanted to laugh more.
"May nakakatuwa ba?" He just shrugged.
"Get out."
"Ano na naman? Anak ng! Ikaw na nga 'tong nanipa sa akin."
"Hindi ako nakikipag-biruan sa'yo." I pointed the door using the tip of the knife, "alis."
"Bakit-"
"Tangina, hindi ka makaintindi?! Sinabi ng alis!"
"Hindi ko naman trabaho ngayon-"
"Tangina, Kupido! Pinapainit mo talaga ang ulo ko? Umalis ka na sa harap ko kung ayaw mong ihagis ko 'tong kutsilyo sa mismong mukha mo!" I yelled feeling my face turning into red.
"Kaya mo ba?" I could feel the teasing in the tone of his voice that made my blood boil.
"Oo na, sige na. Aalis na, kumalma ka. Mukha kang killjoy na kamatis" I frowned.
"A kill joy what?"
"Yung mukha mo, parang kamatis sa pula." He teased.
"Baka gusto mong patayin ko talaga 'yung kasiyahan mo?" I sarcastically asked, as I waved the knife I was holding in front of him. He was slightly taken aback and gulp when he seemed to immediately get what I meant by the thought of me killing his joy.
Tss, what a coward.
"Umalis ka na," once again I pointed the door, making him leave.
"Oo na, I'll just see you when I see you, ssob," he mumbled and scoffed before he turned his back on me, finally leaving my territory.
Now what, are you now suspecting and wondering who am I? Let me guess, you're thinking that I'm an alliance, right? Come on, don't think too much about the answer if you don't want to regret it at the end too.
I know you hate Tyron a lot and I feel the same way, but don't take your eyes off her because we don't know what might happen next.
Ciara's pov
2 days later..
Upon awakening my eyes no longer surprisingly darkness immediately dawned on me. As expected I'm still here, locked inside the abandoned room. The thought of getting stuck in here again made my heart clenched.
Mabilis kong tinakpan ang ilong ko gamit ang dalawang kamay ko nang umalingasaw ang nakakasulasok na amoy na hindi ko matukoy kung ano. Mas lalo ko pang pinagsisiksikan ang sarili ko sa pinasulok nang bigla na lang may dumaang daga sa harapan ko.
How long does he even plan to lock me up here? Kaonti na lang ay mahihimatay na ako sa sikip at baho dito, idagdag pa 'yung hindi mabilang na mga daga at ipis na gumagala sa buong paligid.
Didn't he even think that this place was too suffocating and there's no enough space for me to move freely which makes it even harder for me to breathe properly? Sobrang hirap magtiis sa ganitong sitwasyon lalo na at hinang-hina na ang katawan ko at kailangan ko na ng matiwasay na pahinga, kailangan ko na ring gamutin ang mga galos at sugat ko sa katawan.
Hindi ko alam kung gaano na ako katagal nakakulong dito dahil ngayon lang din bumalik ang malay ko, at kahit hinang-hina ay pinilit ko ang sarili na tumayo dahil ramdam ko na ang gutom.
"Tulong! May tao ba diyan? May nakakarinig ba sa akin? Tulungan niyo ako rito, parang awa niyo na!" I shouted with the rest of my energy left out, hoping someone would hear and help me.
I want to get out of here, I can't stay here for so long. My body is weakening and this might be bad for my health. I need to at least breathe some air if I want to still be alive. I immediately peeked through the small hole in the door when I heard footsteps coming from where I was.
"S-sino 'yan? May tao ba diyan? T-tulungan mo naman ako, oh! Please, I want to get out of here!" I yelled, begging, as I continuously slammed the door.
"Damn it, shut your mouth, you're so fucking loud! Can't you tone down your voice?! I have a visitor right now, so stop making a scene!" My eyes got wide when I heard Tyron's voice, though he sounds so grumpy right now, my heart seemed jumping in joy, because finally I have a chance to get out of here.
"Tyron? P-palabasin mo naman na ako, oh? Hindi ko na kayang magtagal dito.." I begged.
"I know, stop talking."
"Here." When he finally opened the door, his frowned face was the first thing I saw.
"Don't go through the living room, go straight to the backdoor." He commanded, but he's not looking at me, it is as if he's hiding something from me. That's why I could ask him why.
"Just listen to me, Don't make me repeat again," he uttered with his serious tone that made my mouth shut and just followed what he said. Walang lingon-lingon at pasabi, I just quickly ran to the back of the house where the yard was, naroon 'yung backdoor kung saan ako pwedeng dumaan diretso papunta sa kwarto ko. But even before I could enter, I was stopped for a month when I noticed someone from outside who seemed to be watching and looking at something from our house.
My brows suddenly knitted when I recognized the man. Kilala ko 'to ah? He was my driver, I can't remember when, but he's the one who was wearing both a cap and mask.
Anong ginagawa niya rito? May hinahanap ba siya? Sino? Ako ba? Anong kailangan niya?
Matapos lang rin nang ilang sandali ay bumalik na siya sa kotse niya at umalis na para bang walang nangyari.
He's really weird.
Tumalikod na rin ako at nagsimulang naglakad papasok sa back door. I even moved slowly to avoid Tyron's visitor. Hindi ko alam kung sino ang tinutukoy niya pero halatang ayaw niyang malaman at makita ko kung sino iyon dahil hindi niya sinagot ang tanong ko kanina.
Could it be her? Hindi ko na talaga alam, after he locked me inside that abandoned room, I don't know what to do and feel anymore if he has the guts to bring his woman in here. In our house.
I had no intention of finding out who it was, but I immediately stopped and was spine-chilling when I heard a girl's laugh. Sandali, babae?! It was as if my feet got nailed on the ground when both of their laughter rang on my ears. I felt like going crazy and crying when I felt my heart shattered.
Slowly, I stepped my foot forward to see who it was, my knees were trembling and my heart was beating so fast. I'm so scared of what I might see, but still I continued walking to see who it was. And when I finally saw it, my shoulder seemed to drop when I confirmed who it was.
It's her, right? It's his so-called-wife. I just bowed my head down and restrained myself from being emotional when I witnessed how happy Tyron was with her.
No wonder why he chooses her over and over again. Just.. look at her. She's ethereal, she's everything... compared to me who's nothing but a martyr who keeps fighting for her life to survive just to be with him.
They looked good..
"Kahit ano. It's fine to me as long as it's you who will be waiting for me." The woman said, while a genuine smile drawn on her lips that made her face even more brighter. Even her smile was so perfect and beautiful that you won't want to take your eyes from her just to see it.
Anong pinagpa-planuhan nila?
"Are you sure? You know that I always want only the best for you." Tyron said, softly. So soft that it makes me want to hang myself right now.
He's so sweet. Why am I watching them? It's breaking my heart but there's a part of me that I want to hear everything about and I want to see Tyron's side that I have never seen in my entire life.
"Let's plan it in August, hmm?" It was as if my chest heaved when I saw how sweet the smile Tyron gave to her.
Tyron.. why?
"Ah! Hon, I can't wait." The woman sweetly said as she clung her arms around Tyron, and it pains me a lot when Tyron comfortably hugged her back. I smiled bitterly as I watched how fond and soft they were to each other.
That should be me. I'm his wife and he's my husband, but why does it look like I'm the mistress and contradictory in their life here?
I immediately shook my head, clearing my thoughts. Why do I even call him my husband and claim him as mine if he never chooses me once in his lifetime. I was about to go upstairs to go back to my room when I heard the girl speak again.
"I was thinking about this lately, hon."
"Hmm?"
"When our wedding is over, where do you plan to take me for our honeymoon?" She asked, naturally. Very natural, that they seemed like they had really been together for a long time and she didn't have to hesitate to say whatever she wanted.
Where's the lie tho? She was really the first, I just took him from her and here I am, suffering while watching them slowly getting back in each other's arms again.
So, they're getting married soon? Paano naman ako? Is this really my karma? Why did no one tell me that this is going to hurt this much? I know my consequences, but I didn't expect this will be quite hard and hurt a lot. It's like the karma hitted a triple strike at me. I got physically hurt, and there was even a disease that could never be cured, and now this?
Wow, so much pain. So much reason to just give up and never fight for this freaking life, yeah?
My tears flowed down when I heard him laugh. A laugh that I've never seen and heard before, and a laugh that the reason wasn't me and will never be.
She's so lucky, I'm envious. If Tyron shows her only pure love and pleasure, mine was the exact opposite. I smile between my tears. Maybe I wasn't really the one for him. Well, who says that it was me? Maybe I was the one who forced us to be together, but I was never the right person for him.
