Leaving Yesterday Behind

CHAPTER 3

I got home around 6pm so I just took a bath and walked into my closet. We plan to have a inuman nila gabbi this 9pm. Chill lang, puro stressed na sa mga kinuhang course.

I am now struggling at picking what to wear tonight. Should I wear this skin tone backless silk dress or should I just wear a maroon tube dress? I finally wore this skin tone backless silk dress and paired it with my skin tone 7 inch heels. I also wore pearl earrings and a bracelet. I also apply my make up na, bun my hair but not too clean dahil ilulugay ko rin mamaya.

"I am so excited!" I told myself and get my bag ready to go and suddenly I heard a knock on my door. Huh? did they fetch me?

I immediately went to the door to open it. And I saw.. I saw kio.. Hindi siya nakainom.

"saan ka pupunta?" He raise his brow looking at me with darker aura.

"Why are you here?" I asked in a soft tone.

kumunot ang noo niya sa sinabi ko. "Ano?! gago kaba? malamang boyfriend mo ako. Sino ba ang ineexpect mong pupunta sayo dito? yung pukinginang lalaki mo?!" He shouted and slap the door.

Gladly walang tao sa hallway ng condo kaya walang nakarinig. Pumasok siya sa condo ko, hila-hila niya ako nahihirapan ako maglakad dahil mataas ang heels ko.

"ano ba, bitawan mo ako!" I tried to steal my wrist to him. Nasasaktan na ako, mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya.

Pagkatapos ko sabihin yon, binitawan niya ako at humarap saakin ng dahan dahan, att biglang sinampal.

He slapped me so hard. Dahil sa suot kong heels, i am out of control, natumba ako.When I touched the floor, my tears started to flow. I can still feel the pain of his palms hitting my cheeks. It hurts, my knees are shaking with fear. Ngayon ko lang siya nakitang ganito.

Lumuhod siya para makita ang mukha ko at hinarap sakaniya. "Akin kalang, naiintindihan mo?" he said in soft tone. Hindi ako makasagot. "Tangina sabing akin kalang, bingi kaba?!" He shouted again. Tumango nalang ako. I am so scared.

Hiniga niya ako sa kama at unti unti niya tinanggal ang make up ko. Pinipilit niyang tanggalin ang dress ko but i resist. No, never.

Kinuha ko yung phone ko to chat the girls.

Pokpoks

;girl's, sorry! I'll cancel muna. Super dami readings eh, I really need to review a lot of case pa. I am really sorry, bawi ako next time! i love you all! libre ko sa saturday. Club!?.

After sending that, hindi ko na tinignan pa ang mga reply nila. I waited till he fell asleep because i am so scared na. Hindi narin ako kumain

As much as possible, as long as I can handle all my problems, I will. They have so many problems and things to do. I do not want to disturb or bring drama to their lives. I can do this. I have me. I can do this.

Wala naman na siyang ibang ginawa, kaya natulog kami pareho. Naghahanap nalang ako ng tiyempo para hiwalayan siya. Ayoko na, hindi ki deserve ng ganitong trato. Iba na siya. Pagod na pagod na ako.

I woke up around 4:36am, pag gising ko ay wala na siya dito sa condo. May klase pa ako. I just prepare my things and take a bath para pumasok. I wore my uniform and also my jewelries. I put a light make up narin. After getting my things. Nilocked na ang bahay.

Dumaan ako sa starbucks dahil wala akong choice at wala pa akong kain magdamag. Umorder lang ako ng iced coffee dahil kailangan kong gisingin ang sarili ko. Wala naman akong choice kundi makinig sa proff dahil hindi pwedeng bumagsak ako. Wala lang akong gana sumagot sagot at gumala ngayon. Ang Bigat ng pakiramdam ko.

kumunot ang noo ko ng makita ko ang message ng kupal na 'to. Pero hinayaan ko nalang. Wala talaga ako sa mood makipag basagan dito eh

"hoy" kumunot ang noo ko at tumingin sa pinanggalingan ng boses na yon. Napangiti ako nung may hawak siyang jabili!

"laki ng ngiti ah" biglang sabi niya kaya sumama ang tingin ko sakaniya. "Panira naman e"

ngumiti lang siya at umupo sa tabi ko habang unti unti tinatanggal ang mga nasa loob ng peperbag. "wow, ano meron at mabait ka ata?"

"nakakaawa ka, napaka lungkot ng itsura mo. Mukha kang pulubeng gutom" and he smiled at me

sumimangot ako at tumungo dahil wala nga ako sa mood.

"klong" he called me

"ano?" tumingin ako sakaniya na paiyak na ako.

Nagulat siya "Gago talaga amputa ko naudlot tuwa ko aa hayop nato amputa talaga" saad ko at gusto nang umalis.

He held my wrist "biro lang e, halika na na biro lang, sorry na" he said softly and he smiled.

binatukan ko siya "tanginang to amputa, kadiri di bagay sayo maging soft na tao ulol" at umupo para kunin ang pagkain na naka binuksan niya.

"hehe, thank you po" I just smiled and he started eating na rin.

"kamusta?" he asked

"taena, stress na stress. Dami reading eh hahaha"

"uh.." he suddenly said while looking at me. "what?" I raised my brow. He pointed at the guy who looked like, huh? may kamukha.

"s- si," right.. "Kio. boyfriend mo" madiin ang pagkasasabi niya na may bakas sa boses ang galit

Love missed a call (7)

I am watching them having their baby time while still trying to call him, I just want to know if he would pick his phone up.

"ano?" bakas sa boses niya ang irita dahil sa pagtawag ko.

"na-nasan ka?" I asked in a soft tone. Praying and hoping that he wouldn't lie..

"nasa kaibigan ko, may tinatapos kami para sa quiz bukas. Mamaya na." He ended the call immediately. He ran to his girl and kiss her lips.

nanlulumo ako nung narinig at nakita ko yon. Unti unti kaming nagligpit ng mga kinakain namin at mga gamit at, minadali kong hatakin si Calvin para maglakad sa harap ni kio at nung babaeng kasama niya. They were holding each other's hands.

My shoulder and kio's shoulder bump. "sorry" I purposely looked him in the eyes and passed. I could see the shock in Kio's eyes when he saw me. I was walking and Calvin was behind me, just watching. But I know he is angry because he looks cold. I was shocked when Kio pulled my arms.

"aray! ano ba!" Ginagamit ko ang lakas ko para mabawi ang palapusuan ko kay kio, malakas siya, kaya kada galaw ko mas mas humihigpit ang hawak niya .

Nangielam na si calvin at hinawakan ang balikat ni kio but in a respectful way.

"pre, tama na. Nasasaktan si celest" saad niya ng malamig ngunit bakas ang galit sa boses. Hindi siya pinapansin ni kio at pilit lang hinihila ang braso ko. "Tangina, ano ba masakit na!" pinipilit ko na talagang tanggalin ang hawak niya dahil masakit na.

Nakita kong pikon na ang mukha ni calvin at nabitawan na ang mga hawak niya kanina. Tinulungan na rin ako ni calvin tanggalin ang kamay ni kio mula sa braso ko dahil namumula na. Binitawan ni kio ang mga braso ko na may kasamang pag tulak kaya napaupo ako sa sahig sasaluhin sana ako ni calvin kaso biglang hinawakan ni kio ang kwelyo ni calvin.

"tangina mo, papansin ka talaga no?" habang hawak niya ang kwelyo ni calvin

"bitawan mo ako" walang emosyong sabi ni calvin. Mas malaki si calvin kay kio, kaya alam kong pinipigilan lang ni calvin manakit.

Agad akong tumayo para hatakin si kio "tumigil kana, nakakahiya ka. Tapos na tayo" bigla siyang lumingon sa akin at tinulak ako "wala akong pake sayo, malandi ka!"

nagulat ako ng biglang kwinelyuhan ni calvin si kio. "oh my God.." Nakita ko ring maraming tao ang napatingin sa pwesto namin. Tinatawag narin ng ibang tao ang guard.

"I had f*****g enough of you. Dapat sa dila mo pinuputol"

Kio fell to the floor from Calvin's release. and Calvin doesn't seem to be satisfied with that yet. He kneeled and punched Kio and grabbed his collar again.

"Never go near with khloe, Naiintindihan mo? You're really good at getting into my nerves." Tumayo siya at tinadyakan si kio. Dumating na ang mga guard at kinuha si kio. Kita kong galit na galit ang mukha ni kio dahil sa ginawa ni calvin.

Nasa sahig parin ako. I am so shocked about what happened. Hindi ko inexpect kay calvin yon.

He kneeled and held my arms "are you okay? I am sorry" he gently helped me get up. I didn't talk because I was still shocked. Natapon na ang mga hawak namin kanina kaya tinapon nalang. Inaalalayan niya na lang ako hanggang makarating kami sa sasakyan niya.

"Are you okay? " he asked in a soft tone. "Yes, I'm sorry doon, ayos ka lang ba?" I asked and gently put my hands to his face to check if there's a bruises. Gladly.. wala naman.

"matagal ka na bang ginaganon no'n ng lalaking yon?" He asked in a calm tone, pero bakas sa boses nito ang galit at irita tuwing naalala o binabanggit si kio.

"uh, hayaan mo na yon." I answered and just smiled at him.

"celeste" He said, but more serious tone now. Umayos ako ng upo at humarap sa harap at hinihimas ang mga daliri ko isa isa. "Hayaan mo na yon, wala naman na kami." I said without looking at him because I might tear up here.

after a few silence. He grabbed my hands and squeezed them.

"condo tayo? ice cream?" He asked me while smiling. I nodded and just placed my head on the sandalan ng kotse. I'm sleepy.

"seatbelt." i heard him saying. Pero hindi ko na sinunod dahil nanghihina ang kamay ko. Naramdaman ko nalang siyang sinusuot ang seatbelt ko at bumuntong hininga

"wake up" Nararamdaman kong inaalog ako ni calvin kaya pag dilat ko sinamaan ko agad siya ng tingin. It disappeared immediately when he removed my seatbelt and got down first to open my door and help me down.

"ambait amputa, plastic ka talaga eh" I rolled my eyes and laugh

"manahimik ka, bitawan kita bigla eh" at umambang bibitawan ako. I immediately hit him on the shoulder and we walked up to his condo.

I just let him do what he wanted because my body was really weak. He slowly put me down on the bed and I fell asleep without realizing it. When I woke up, I saw him holding plastics.

"what's that?" I curiously asked. "Medicine, ayos ka lang ba?" He said in a worried tone. He put his hand to my neck and forehead to check the heat.

"Ang init mo puta, pwede na mag prito ng itlog jan" agad ko siyang siningkitan ng mata.

"kuha lang ako mantika" gago talaga ampota. "Alam mo, kung kaya lang kita sabunutan ngayon, kanina ko pa ginawa talaga" i smiled sarcastically

"Hot ko kasi, tamo mainit tuloy" i sighn. Tinignan niya ang ng nandidiri "talagang hindi ka mananahimik? He raised his brow.

I just raised my middle finger at him and went to the bathroom.

"calvin?" I shouted. Hindi ko alam kung maririnig niya dahil sobrang hina ng salita ko. nang hihina ang buong katawan ko.

"hm?" I saw him outside the bathroom. "Damit po" nanghihinang sabi ko.

"wait there" sabay alis. He came back with hoodies and pajamas in his hands. "Can I come?" He gently asked.

"yes po, please" I was wearing a bra and panty only. I am comfortable naman dahil nakikita niya na akong nakaganito sa beach.

I just felt.. I feel safe whenever I am with Calvin..
