OWNED by a POSSESSIVE GREEK

Ika Tatlompu’t Siyam- Issue

“Hello?” Matamlay kong sagot sa tumatawag saakin na unknown number. Kanina pa ito tawag ng tawag at wala talaga akong balak sagutin ito pero dahil sa kulit ay sinagot ko na din.

“Cassi! Buti naman sumagot ka! It’s me! Lilienne!” Napaahon ako sa pagkaka higa.

“Lilienne!” Gulat ba bati ko.

“The girls and I have been trying to call you since this morning! Buti naman sumagot ka na!” She exclaimed.

“Sorry.. I was preoccupied kaya..”Rinig ko ang pag singhap nya.

“It’s okay.. we understand.” She paused and I held my breath, I am kinda scared with why she’s calling me now. Nakita ba nila ang video? Are they disappointed at me? Mad perhaps? “Uhmnn.. I called beacuse we were worried. We saw the video!”

I swallowed hard. Sabi ko na.

“Lilienne-“

“We don’t believe the post of course! We know that you won’t cheat on Silas and that post is a lie! Feeling namin may gusto lang sumisira sayo!”

I sighed. Nag init ang mga mata ko. I am glad na they chose to believe me. Akala ko I jajudge din nila ako..

“Thank you.” I whispered, medyo gumaan ang loob ko.

“But..you know.. Silas knows about it already..” she whispered, napapikit ako ng mariin. He must have felt bad when he saw it.

“W-what did he say about it?” Naiiyak kong tanong.

“Actually the guys said Silas did not say anything about it. He was just quiet during the time that they were all talking but Whisky said that Silas looks murderous!” She sighed. I know Whiskey is not exaggerating, I know that Silas can really look that way whenever he is fuming mad.

I sighed. What do I expect?

“D-did he see it because of the tags?”’ Nang hihina kong tanong, napasandal ako sa headboard ng kama. I don’t get why this is happening to me, wala naman akong ginawang masama. Ako nga ang pinaka agrabyado kung tutuusin. Una napag bintangan ako na third party kina Nix at Milan kaya hinatak hatak ako ng Kuya ni Milan that resulted to a big bruise, tapos na issue ako as a cheater kaya ngayon naman ang dami kong bashers!

How unfair is that?

“Actually.. No..”

My brows furrowed but I did not say anything, instead I waited for her next words.

“The biatch girl showed it to her!” She uttered in annoyance. “Halatang gusto kayo pag awayin ni Silas!”

“Huh?” Naguguluhan kong tanong.

“Si Sancha! She showed it to Silas!”

“Showed?”

“Yes! Maureen is in Greece too since her Mother lives there kaya nga naging mag bff ang Mom nya at Mom ni Silas dahil sa may isang business na mag kasosyo ang Dad ni Silas at Sancha kaya palagi magkasama sa events yung mga moms nila, and if I’m not mistaken mag kalapit lang din sila ng bahay!”

“So you saying na they are together right at this moment?”

”There’s a chance..”

I cannot concentrate, I’m so bothered about the video, the bashers and most of all the fact that Sancha and Silas are together! Siguro Sancha is so happy since nasosolo nya ngayon si Silas! Though alam kong nagalit si Silas before kay Sancha, I know that there’s a possibility na mabilis din nya mapapatwad ito lalo pa at may pinag samahan sila at malapit pa ang kanilang pamilya

Am I threatened? Yes!

Paanong hindi, when I know how much Sancha likes Silas. And knowing her, hindi malabo ba gumawa ito ng bagay na makakapag palapit sakanila. Plus the fact that there’s a chance she might asked for her parents’ help para mapasakanya si Silas. And I won’t be surprised to know na boto din sakanya ang magulang ni Silas. And ohh.. to add up, magkasosyo ang dad’s Nila and pag nag katuluyan sila there can be a merging of companies and that’s a good business.

D*ng it! Kung ano ano na naiisip ko. I know nag oover think na ako but I can’t helped it!

I sighed. Ang sakit na ng ulo ko.

Hindi na muna ako pina pasok ni Kuya Yvo today. He said that they will talk to the guy first, once the issue is solved that’s the time that I can go back to school. Gunawa ng paraan ni Kuya Yvo na ma excuse ako sa lahat ng class ko, good thing katatapos lang ng exam kaya wala gaanong ganap.

I decided to go to the mall, I needed distraction… feeling ko mababaliw ako sa bahay since nasa school ang lahat ng pinsan ko at wala akong magawa.

Without any agenda, I just wear a flowy dress na abot sa mid thights ko and a block sandals plus a micro bag, since I have a lot of time, plinantsa ko ang buhok ko, from the usual curly hair I’m sporting a straight hair now na nilugay ko lang. I also decided to wear a cat eye glasses para in case may ka-kilala ako sa mall na nakakita saakin sy di agad ako makilala.

Does that make sense? Whatever.

Si Kuya Roan ang kasama ko, sya ang driver s***h bodyguard ko. I asked him to blend in the crowd para naman di sya pag tinginan. Isa pa, gusto ko maramdaman na mag isa ako..at di mailang sa pag sunod sunod nya.

I window shopped lang, wala akong nabili dahil sa wala talaga akong gana. Pinagod ko lang at inaliw ang sarili ko kaka lakad at tingin sa mga shops.

“Ouch!”

“Sorry!”

Muntik na akong madapa sa pag kakabungo ko sa isang estranghero. Mabuti nalang at mabilis nya akong naalalayan his hands are on my arms as he tried to put me still.

“Are you okay?” He asked in a gentle voice.

Napatingin ako sakanya. This guy looks like a tourist, hindi sya mukhang taga Palawan lalo pa sa pamamaraan ng pag sasalita nya, bukod pa doon ay may bitbit sya na plastic na pang pasalubong.

“I’m okay, thank you.” I said bago umayos ng tayo kaya dahan dahan nya inalis ang mga kamay saaking mga braso. “ I’m sorry, I’m too preoccupied with what I’m thinking, hindi kita napansin.” Hingi ko ng paunanhin.

The guy chuckled, his dimples peek through his cheeks.

“It’s okay, di din naman ako nakatingin.” I shyly smiled at him. “By the way I’m Jacob, you are?” He asked sabay abot sa kanyang kamay na walang bitbit.

Tinanggap ko Ang kamay nya at tipid na ngumiti an sya.

“Cassiopeia” I said. Ramdam ko Ang pag pisil ng mainit nyang kamay sa kamay ko. Pero bago pa ako nakapag react ay na hila na ako mula kay Jacob.

“And I’m Silas, Cassiopeia’s boyfriend.” He said and he shook Jacob’s hand.

I gasped. My eyes widened.

Para akong tinulos is sa kinatatayuan ko. Silas is here!!

“Ohh..nice meeting you bro. Una na ako.” Jacob said then tumingin sakin at nahihiyang tumango.

Tahimik na umalis si Jacob sa harap namin, and we were left in awful silence. Dahan dahan akong nilingon ni Silas. He put his hands in his pockets and he looked at me intently that I almost squirmed under his gaze.

“Silas..” I whispered. My eyes felt hot, I’m feeling emotional now.. maybe because of everything that happened and plus the fact that Silas is here in front of me and I missed him so bad.

Silas sighed before he took my hand and pulled me with him.

“Let’s get out of here.” He said coldly as he guided me on our way out of the mall’s exit.
