Chapter 38
"Yeah you're spitting nonsense, Cassidy stop reminiscing the past and just accept the consequences of your actions"
He said casually dahilan para lalong manikip ang dibdib niya.
"I'm.. sorry"
Nangilid ang mga luha niya she wanted to cry but it's no use.
Austin isn't the Austin before the kind and gentle Austin at kung ano man ang ginagawa ni Austin ngayon siguradong awa nalang iyon para sakanya.
Hindi narin ito nagsalita hanggang makarating sila sa manor nito her heart and head is on mess again.
'.. maybe I assumed to much na Austin still has a concern for me but I was wrong he never care about my feelings si Jenna ang importante sakanya ngayon and I'm just his past..'
She stays in her room after at nagkunwaring busog when Ella knock on her door dahil pinapatawag daw siya ni Austin para kumain nang hapunan.
Tiniklop niya nang ayos ang mga damit na binigay ni Austin at sinalansan nang maayos sa kabinet.
"I don't think I can use them all so better keep them sayang kasi.."
She murmured.
And she proceeded at the balcony of her room habang nakatanaw sa malawak na kalangitan unlike before ay maliwanag na ang langit dahil sa mga bituin at buwan.
Siguro isa na siyang police ngayon kung hindi nangyari ang mga bagay na iyon, when her parents dies and fall into depression hindi na pumasok sa isip niya ang mga pangarap.
It was so hard to choose life over dreams at ang buhay lang nang kapatid niya ang mahalaga sakanya ngayon and to survive.
She shouldn't be mad at Austin, pasalamat nalang siya because Austin was nice to her at hindi kriminal ang trato sakanya.
After he finds out her real identity ay hindi siya nito pinakulong sa panloloko at pagnanakaw niya sa manor nito, because he pitied her and thanks for that.
'.. you're crazy Cassidy, Austin has the right to do it to you and you just have to bear with it..
She sigh heavily.
"Right.."
She whispered.
"What's right..?"
"Ay palaka!"
Halos mapatalon siya sa gulat nang biglang magsalita si Austin mula sa likod niya she turned around and find him there standing while his arms were crossed on his chest while giving her a amusing smile.
"Palaka? Where?"
Nagmama-ang maangan na tanong nito, he was smiling and it felt so good seeing him smile again.
'.. wait what?!.. '
"Why didn't you go downstairs to eat dinner?"
Embes na tanong nito sakanya napa maang siya at hindi agad rumihestro sa utak niya ang tanong nito.
"W-what--I mean, I'm still full diba sa unli tayo kumain?"
Embes na sagot niya, but instead Austin walk towards her at napa atras siya hanggang maramdaman niya ang pagtama nang likod niya sa barandilya nang balcony.
While Austin kept on walking closer akma siyang gagalaw paalis but Austin cornered her in his arms napatingala siya dito while he was staring at her intently hindi niya alam kung anong tumatakbo sa isip nito.
Like he was on very deep thoughts habang nakatitig sakanya blanky without a word for a moment. .
" Are you ok Austin..? "
He suddenly frown na tila nakalimutan ang pwesto nila while her breathing was hard when his blue eyes look down on her eyes.
Napalunok siya when he take another step forward.
"A-Austin!" She tried to block him using her hands ngunit it's all useless lalo na nang yumuko ito at isandal ang ulo sa balikat niya.
"I.. I didn't mean it.."
He murmur and she stiffed.
"You didn't mean what..?"
Nang tuluyan na itong nakasubsob sa balikat niya her heart was beating rapidly and she was afraid na baka marinig ni Austin ang lakas nang t***k niya at naguguluhan siya sa sinabi nito.
Konting konti na galaw niya siguradong magdidikit ang mga katawan nila nang tuluyan her hands na nasa gitna nang dibdib nila ni Austin is the only thing that blocked their distance.
She tried to push him.
"Look at me Austin.."
She reprimand at pinilit patigasin ang boses para making ito sa kanya.
Austin slightly moved his head backwards para tingnan siya.
"I know I offend you by my words, I apologize"
" W-what--"
Napaisip siya vaka ang tinutukoy nito ay ang sinabi nito about the consequences of her actions her jaw tightnen.
" Yeah, like I really do like my situation right now to be abandoned by everyone "
Patuya niyang sagot dito hindi maitago ang inis pag naaalala but what the use of this all.
She didn't need to justify herself to anyone Austin will eventually leave her after.
So what's the use?
" I'm sorry, you just hit the sensitive part of me that's why, its fine Austin you don't have to think of anything, our relationship is just a cop and prisoner an ex, and a friend simple as that right? We don't have to make things complicated"
She responded nonchalantly ayaw niyang ipakita dito na apektado siya he stiffed at napatitig sakanya nang matiim.
"Yeah, " he chuckled sarcastically "that's right.. so you have to work hard to avoid Jenna, at galingan ang pagpapanggap na Verna while you're here"
Austin smirked, there's a hint of displeasure in his words while his eyes narrowed hindi niya alam kung anong ikinakagalit nito and he totally moved backwards and when she stared at him, he was staring at her blanky but his eyes was like on fire he was so hard to read.
May mga oras na mabait ito and some other time he was so cold and distant.
He turned around and left her without a word while she was dumbfounded and confused sa ugaling pinapakita nito she turned around at tumingala sa malawak na kalangitan.
She was praying for a miracle and that was her brother freedom and the same time the answers for her curious, and confused heart.
....
Maaga siyang nagising she needs to change from being Cassidy to Verna ngayon dahil darating na si Jenna anumang oras and like Austin told her she needs to avoid Jenna, and she isn't allowed to use her room lalo na kung may makakakita she needs to use the connecting door from Austin's room.
She takes a bath at nagsimula nang ikabit ang mga fake hair extensions niya unlike before ay takot siya na gawin iyon ngayon ay hindi na lalo na't kay Austin mismo nang galing.
"Verna!!", it was Ella na halos nagtatalon pa nang makita siya habang kausap si Nay Rosa na napabaling din sakanya.
"Verna hija!" Bulalas na sabi ni Nay Rosa na lumawak ang ngiti nang makita siya.
"Ella, nay Rosa kamusta na? Roxanne."
Ngunit inirapan lang siya ni Roxanne.
" Nandito na siya" patuyang sabi nito at natawa nalang siya sa reaksyon nito she sees her as a rival.
Agad siyang sinugod ni Ella nang yakap at tuwang tuwa at gumanti naman siya nang yakap dito.
"Sana all napapayagan magbakasyon nang mahaba"
Pang aasar ni Ella sakanya at napangiti naman siya.
"Oo nga, salamat kay Sir"
She crosses her finger.
'.. sorry Ella, Nay Rosa and Roxanne.. '
"Sayang kaaalis lang ni ma'am Cassidy di mo man lang siya nakilala, ambait pa naman nun"
Nanghihinayang na sabi ni Ella sabay pulupot nang kamay sa braso niya.
" Oo nga , sabi ni sir--"
" Syempre, di pwedeng pag abutin mo ang mga babae mo sa isang bahay, ito si Ella di nag iisip "
Naka irap na sabi ni Roxanne and she stiffed after realizing what Roxanne said
" Hoy, Roxanne manahimik ka diyan, baka may makarinig na iba at makarating pa kay Señorito "saway ni Nay Rosa.
'.. right, hindi naman talaga kasi pwedeng magpang abot ang ex at present it's impossible.. '
" Bagay si Señorito kay ma'am Cassidy "nakangusong sabi ni Ella.
" Oo mas gusto ko si ma'am Cassidy kaysa sa matapobreng babae na yun"
Nakasimangot na sang ayon din ni Roxanne at hindi niya inaasahan.
" Kahit pa mas mabait si ma'am Cassidy ay hindi nyu masasawata si Señorito, mukhang maayos ang samahan ni Señorito at ni ma'am Cassidy pero mukhang mas pinapahalagahan ni Señorito ang nararamdaman ni Ma'am Jenna kaya sakto pinaalis niya si ma'am Cassidy "
It was Nay Rosa at malungkot at hindi sang ayon ang dalawang kasama pa nila and Austin's word replay in her mind.
" You have to avoid Jenna, galingan mo ang pagpapanggap na Verna"
" Dapat hindi kayo magkita ni Jenna"
Austin really does care about Jenna's feelings at hindi maiwasang magsikip ang dibdib niya.
