Fated To Love You

CHAPTER 10

"Play what?" I act like a confused poor girl since that was she was trying to slap to my face right now.

"Isn't it obvious? Oh, right, MAHIRAP nga pala kayo kaya hindi mo alam," and the she laugh like it was the worst funniest word in the world. "Too bad mukhang alam ko na kung sinong mananalo,"

My blood rose from my head by the word mahirap lang kami. She literally emphasizes it para masampal sa mukha kong wala akong alam dahil sa mata nila mahirap lang kami. Mga bobo at walang alam sa mga bagay bagay.

The urge to slap her hard until she ran out of breath. Ang sinag sinag ng araw pero nang didilim paningin ko sa mga tao dito. They are not one actually. Kung matuturing ay hindi sila tao. They can do things like me think that they live in the mental hospital.

And really... Just because of a... boy? So stupid.

Patience Ukaye. Ako ang nahihiya sa kanya mayaman din ako pero this mindset never cross my mind. Kung alam ko lang na ganito pala ang mayayaman sa panahong to dito pa lang kinakahiya kong naging mayaman ako.

"Marquez!"

I heard Nash voice coming to my direction but I didn't give him a glance and remain my eyes to this b***h. She really thinks na mahirap talaga ako? Well it's true, the girl I am living right now is poor but the soul isn't. Pero kahit mahirap ang babaeng to may pamilya syang nag mamahal sa kanya ng totoo, the things that even the most richest people can't buy. And I'm one of those people.

Nangingitngit ako sa galit habang naka tingin sa mukha nyang nakangising nakatingin sa lagay ko. But when she drifted her eyes to the guy it was so soft that I can't convince myself that she did all of this s**t. An angel in disguise. I didn't know that they existed. Anghel na nag sisilbi kay satanas.

"Sure, let's play," kinuha ko ang atensyon nya at hindi naman ako nabigo dahil binalik nya agad ang tingin sa'kin. Getting surprised.

Pagsisisihan mo lahat ng sinabi mo.

"Kelcy what the f**k is this?!" Nash shout.

"No do not interupt with our business Nash! I will show to this girl that I am way more deserving to be your wife than her!" puna naman ng bruha.

Pinigilan ko si Nash sa akmang pagsasalita. Hindi nya kailangang kabahan sara sa'kin dahil alam ko naman kung pano laroin to. This kind of place is my own kind of pahinga. We used to hangout with my couzins every sunday to race. Win competitions. Got invited at the other country for an invitational tournament. And 10 years of being an defending champion. Hindi ako huminto sa pag laro nito kahit noong naging sikat na model ako. I hide ny identity well, to the point that they didn't even notice my lips and posture. Well... when you play this game you should wear a mask. Not for cool kid but for fun. And that's what I like to this game, no one knows you.

Kaya bakit ako matatakot sa low class na kagaya nila? They're maybe rich but in my world they're just below family. Mali lang sila ng piniling laro. Ito pa talaga. My passion, my sport.

"L-,"

"I will never mary you. You hear me?" I stop talking when Nash lifts Kelcy's arm.

"Nash you're hurting her," sabat ni Joy.

"We're sorry okay? Don't hurt Kelcy," akala ko ay maganda din ang tabas ng dila ng isa nila pero nagkamali ako. She looks at me with an evil smirk on her lips. "Don't hurt your soon to be wife,"

For the first time in my life gusto kong manahi ng bibig. Especially the mouth of this Jezeil girl. Akala mo tao na e kasing itim din pala ng budhi ng bestfriend nya!

"N-n-nash... o-ouch," daing ni Kelcy ng hinigpitan ni Nash ang kapit roon.

"Masasaktan ka talaga kapag hindi ka pa titigil sa kabaliwan mo na akala mo ay nakakatuwa!"

Napatalon ako ng mahina sa pag taas ng boses nya na animoy naudlot na ang pinipigilang pasensya. He was so cold and scary. By the look of his face mukhang nagtitimpi lang sya at malapit ng maputol yon. We should leave baka kung ano na ang gagawin nya sa babaeng yan.

"Ukaye will never be in competition with anyone you here me? Coz' in the first place I was hers and she was mine!" he glance at the two girls behind Kelcy. "Even the two of you can't compare to my woman. She run her own race while the three of you need each other to win! How pitiful isn't it?"

I was speechless when I saw how Nash shout at Kelcy's face and the two other girl. Damn boy that was hurt. Ang kaninang matapang na mukha ni Kelcy ay parang na wala na parang bola. She looks so devastated and betrayed not knowing how to react. Para silang nabagsakan ng langit.

Well truth hurts.

"I-i-i j-just lo-ove...y-you s-so much Nash,"

"Well I don't need your love. You are selfish," Nash said straight to her face without emotions.

Ang sakit non. Nakita ko kung pano tumolo ang luha sa mga mata ni Kelcy. She's badly hurt right now kahit sino naman masasaktan kapag ginanon. I knew it the rumors are not real. Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag dahil don. Desperada lang kase sya kaya nya ipinipilit ang sarili kay Nash na ang mga mata ay na sa'kin lang.

Anong ginawa mo sa lalaking to Ukaye?

"E-ehh how about the times when I feel like you like me? Nung time na mag kasama tayo, we were both so happy with each other Nash!"

Ayaw pa talaga tumigil. Napatingin ako kay Nash, lowkey wants to hear his explaination without me asking for it.

"Ah that? I was just distracting myself thinking how to get back with Ukaye. And pinakisamahan lang kita because your mom force me too. Don't ever lay you hands on Ukaye ever again," tinuro nya isa-isa ang mga taong mga nandito. "You you you, if you all do this again ako ang makakalaban nyo. Hindi nyo naman siguro magugustohan kung babagsak lang ng ganon ang pinaghirapan ng mga magulang nyo right? So stay away from us."

Damn. So that's it. That's the reason why they were always with each other. To distract his self because I ignored him for weeks. Umiling lang ako at tinignan is-isa ang mga reaction nila. They were so terrified especially the two girls, their eyes speak all how they were worried kung tutuhanin ba ni Nash ang sinabi nya o hindi.

How powerful you and your family Nash? It seems like I can't reach you now.

"Enought Nash tala na," hinila ko na si Nash pero hindi paman kami tuluyang nakalabas ay huminto ako para tignan sila.

"I will say this once. Stay away from me. You are lucky enough para maka lusot ngayon by the next time, hindi ko hahayaang hindi ko masira ang pagmumukha ninyo," diin kong pahayag.

I don't think they understand what game this chose to compete with me. Maling galaw lang nila ay tapos ang buhay nila. Sayang my intrusive thoughts didn't win today. Maybe next time. I will let this slide. Just this once.

"Hindi mo dapat sinabi yon,"

"Why not? I was just telling the truth, noon pa lang alam na nyang hindi ko sya gusto and she didn't take it seriously. Not my fault,"

"Yes but that's to much Nash! Babae parin yun mabilis masaktan, pwede mo naman syang dahan dahanin,"

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pinagtatanggol ko pa ang babaeng yun. If I were her I would break down in an instant. If I were in her shoes it really has big impact in me especially that I am softhearted. Baka ma depress lang ako how much kaya na sa kanya.

"I already did that but still she didn't listen," nag simula na syang mag drive habang sumusulyap sakin na parang nag alala na baka galit ako.

"Are you mad?"

Bakit nga ba ako galit? Kailangan nya rin yun in order for her to wake up. Nag kakaganto lang naman ako because of the false hope that Nash gave me. Tangina. Why did he go? Bakit nya ako pinaparamdam ng ganito? I'm so confused. f**k this!

"No it's just that she's still a girl and soft, you don't have to shout at her. Nasasakyan yung tao sa ginagawa mo," I lied. Lies until you can Ukaye.

Inabot nya naman ang kamay ko at hinawakan yun habang ang isa naman ay nasa manibela. Ang gaan sa pakiramdam. Wala na hulog na naman ako sa patibong nya. Ang unfair, naman! Kunting galaw nya lang, kunting pakita nya lang na mahal nya ako ay nakuha agad ako.

Eh pano naman ako? Pano yung nararamdaman ko, iniisip din nya kaya yun.

"I know what I did was wrong, but I won't apologize, hindi ako matatakot makasakit ng damdamin ng ibang babae maprotektahan ko lang yung sayo,"

Uy may tumotulo, ay luha ko lang pala.

My heart ached as I closed my eyes. I wipe my tears silently. You already did Nash. You already hurt me without knowing. But I let it slide kase mahal kita, babaliwalain ko yung mga narinig ko kase wala naman akong karapatan at hinding hindi ako magkakaroon I want to ask him. I want an assurance. Gusto ko ng peace of mind. And I want him to say that ako lang. Ano nga ba kami? Nakakatakot mag tanong, baka ako lang yung nag e expect.

I'll just pray for you to be mine in my next life.

"I want to go to bicol Nash, would you come with me?"
