Naked Scar (Filipino/Completed/ Unedited)

I will not let you go

NO ONE can predict what going to happen to you on the next tick of the clock. By choosing what we desire, we must be prepared for the outcome, whether it is good, better, or worst.

Seeing the fang of anger in their eyes makes her heartache excruciatingly. She anticipates Shawn's wrath but Malik's involvement never crossed her mind. In all situation, why he has to push himself in?

Her breathe hitched when Malik grab her arm and walked out on the scene. Kusa siyang nagpatangay dito at muling sinulyapan ang seryosong si Shawn. Hinihingi na ng pagkakataon na aminin niya ang totoo pero natatakot pa rin siya. Siguro ang pagsulpot ni Malik ang kasagutan na tama nang huwag niyang aminin na siya si Vika. Dahil ibinigay na niya iyon kay Winona. Siya na ngayon si Jyra - ang batang tinatawag ni Malik na si Hermosa.

The silence stretched between them when Malik drove off going to somewhere. Lahat ng tapang niya ay kanina pa umatras. Wala na siyang masabi. Kung alam man ni Malik ang dahilan ng ginawa ni Shawn ay wala siyang pakialam. She became a drain and tired all of a sudden. Her mind is elsewhere and she can't use it right now. She can't even think why she's letting herself to come with him.

Muling sumagi sa isipan niya ang galit sa mga mata ni Shawn. They were like a dagger. He's throwing it one by one, and all she has to do is to let it stab her.

Nagpakawala siya nang buntong hininga bago isinandal sa back rest ang ulo. Ipinikit niya nang mariin ang mata habang kagat ang ibabang labi.

She just opened her eyes when the car stopped and Malik open the door on her side. His eyes were deadly and vicious, showing anger and irritation that she can't bear to meet. Bumaba siya roon at nagulat sa muling paghuli nito sa kanyang kamay para hilain.

Nakayuko lamang siyang sumusunod dito. Pinapanood ang malalaki at mabilis na hakbang. They entered the elevator, still, her eyes were fixed on the floor. The door opened and immediately a huge living room welcome her sight. Malik's familiar scent filled her nostril, bigla tuloy siyang nagising sa katotohanan.

She watched him walked on the carpet going on the side while unbuttoning his top shirt. He glanced at her before dodging the switch on the wall. The modern styled windows curtain moved up. Her attention drifted on that as she saw her own reflection on it. Unmoved, she looked on her own hideous reflection. She disappointingly closed her eyes. How awful I am right now! Muli siyang huminga nang malalim bago dumilat.

Malik's vicious and savage eyes greeted her sight. His lips were pressed into a thin line and his being silent makes her emotion fueled.

Nangilid agad ang kanyang mga mata at nagsimulang manginig ang baba. She's trying to control it. But, he is her weakness.

"Indeed, it is really you," he said his eyes becomes soulful and nakedly concern.

Dumaloy ang luha sa kanyang pisngi habang tulala rito. Kahit anong gawin niyang iwas o paglayo rito, sa huli si Malik pa rin talaga. In everything she do, he is always there -saving her. She should be thankful, but she can't. Her pride today is different.

She look down to avoid his intimidating presence. Pero iginaya ni Malik ang kanyang atensyon pabalik dito.

Agad siyang umiwas. "Don't look at me. I'm bad! I am so bad," her breath.

Hinawakan ni Malik ang magkabila niyang mga braso at hinanap ang kanyang mata. Pero masyado siyang matigas at pilit na umiiwas dito. She's being immature but who cares. Pakiwari kasi niya ay masyado na niyang hinahayaan na maging sa pribadong parte ng kanyang pagkatao ay ililigtas pa rin siya nito. He already consume her secret but not as well her private matter. Not now.

"Baby, please look at me," Malik pleads.

She got dumbstruck. Parang kinurot ang puso niya sa pagmamakaawa nito. Pero mas nangibabaw ang nakakaliyong epekto ng kanyang boses. His voice was very erotic. It was like he is pulling her inner goddess to wake up. She shivered when he caressed her arm and pulled her to embrace.

"Iniisip mo pa rin ba si Shawn? He's a good man. Believe me, it will be alright," he murmurs.

She looked up to see him. "Why are you doing this?" she asked not in herself.

Malik remains staring at her and silent. Naglalaro sa kanyang buong mukha ang atensyon nito, lalo nang matulala ito sa nakaawang niyang mga labi.

That made her uneasy. Lalo noong haplusin nito ang kanyang pisngi, hindi niya na napigilang mapapikit sa nakakakiliting dala noon. Undeniably, she can't help but give her full attention to his touch. They were unavoidable and really her inner goddess wants some more.

Her heart hammered her ribcage when he savagely claimed her lips. Sa gulat ay napakapit siya sa laylayan ng asul na v-neck shirt nito. But then he immediately parted their kiss and watched her.

Nanatiling tulala siya at nakaawang ang labi. Nahiya tuloy siya at agad umiwas ng tingin.

"Look at me," he commanded.

Kahit mabigat sa loob niyang tumingin ay ginawa pa rin niya. Muli nitong pinatakan ng halik ang kanyang labi kaya saglit siyang napapikit. She's mixed embarrass and unsatisfied now. Naiinis niyang kinagat ang labi habang tulala sa mamasamasang labi nito. She tasted him cool mint. It was very addicting.

"Baby, don't you feel why I am doing this all?"

Hinigpitan nito ang pagkakayakap sa maliit niyang bewang. Pressing her body against his. She looked on his belt when she felt something strange in there. Malik traced her jawline, that distracts her but still conscious of where this all going through.

"D-do... I mean." Pumikit siya nang mariin dahil nahihiya siya sa sasabihin. Sinubukan niyang tingnan ito pero nakikiliti siya sa ginagawa nitong paghaplos sa bandang puwetan niya.

"Hmm?"

"D-do you like me?" she bravely asked. Nahigit niya ang hininga nang huminto si Malik sa ginagawa at tumitig sa kanyang mga mata.

Parang binuhusan siya nang malamig na tubig noong dumistansiya ito sa kanya at tumalikod. She watched him brushed his hair harshly and groaned. "I don't like you," he confirmed before facing her. "Because, I'm in love with you. I love you, Jyra!" Inilang hakbang nito ang pagitan nila upang muling angkinin ang kanyang labi.

She gave in and let him claimed her. Oh, Malik, I love you too. She kissed him back with the same passion and hunger.

Ito lang ang lalaking minahal niya, kahit pa maraming nagtangkang magparamdam ay hindi niyang mabigyang pansin dahil okupado na ni Malik ang puso niya. Dahil sa nakaraan, pilit niyang binabaon sa kawalan ang nararamdaman dito. Pero sa huli, eto siya at lalong nahuhulog.

Eyes were closed she inhaled erotically when his kissed traced her jawline, while his hands fondling her delicate curves. A foreign feeling was shearing on her skin when he goes back on her lips and kneaded her mounds. Something inside of her was rising and she needs to rich it.

Malik lifted her and laid on the sofa. Mapupungay ang mga matang minasdan siya nito. "I gave you the ring, it means I gave you my heart," he whispered as he hungrily kissed her again and grinded his body against her.

She was very overwhelmed with his touch and escaped a soft moan when he sucked the back of her ears. Naliliyo niyang tiningnan si Malik noong hilain nito ang dress niya. She doesn't know how he did that but hell she doesn't care. She's too drown and focus on his addicting touch.

Nanunuya nitong hinaplos ang kanyang kahubdan. At sa mabilis na paraan ay eksperto nitong natanggal ang bra niya, showing her proud hill.

Malik crouched on top of her. "I am very angry, baby because you gave my heart to someone else. I will not forgive you," he whispered.

She threw back her head when he flicked her tongue on her left breast while the other one was kneaded by his hand. She can't consume the enormous feeling he was sending to her. Halos bumaon ang kuko niya sa braso nito.

His one arm curled around her waist assisting her curvy and stretched back because of the intense feeling. She looked back at him when his other hand slid her undies.

"You're the only owner of my heart. You alone!" he drawled as he lowered his body and kissed her lavishly.

An image of the past showed in her sight when Malik slowly remove her undergarments. The familiar feeling of being scared and harassed crept on her mind. Agad niya iyong pinigil at namimilog ang matang tinitigan ito. "No. You can't do that to me. No!" Agad niyang tinulak si Malik at niyakap ang sarili. Nagsumiksik siya sa gilid habang tinititigan ng masama ito.

"W-what? I'm sorry, baby. Are you hurt?" Malik mumbles, his eyes were shocked too. He took steps to reach for her but she immediately moves back, showing resistance on her face.

The beast on her vision took steps. Ang nakakakilabot na yabag nito ang nagpanginig sa kanya. Nagsisigaw siya noong hawakan nito ang magkabila niyang kamay. Tumatambol ang kanyang dibdib sa sobrang takot, kaya buong puwersa siyang nanlaban.

"It's me, Malik. Jyra!"

She snap back because of his growled. Nasalo niya ang braso noong gumuhit ang sakit doon. Ang impact ng paglalaban niya ay iyon ang naging resulta. Pilit nitong ginigising siya sa kanyang isinumpang nakaraan. Masyadong siyang nadala ng takot kaya inakala niyang ito si Andrei Holmes.

"I'm sorry, Malik. I am really sorry." She cried out as she buried her face into his chest.

"Hush. It's alright." His arms envelop her small waist to cage her.

They stayed like that until she looked up to see him. Natigilan siya saglit nang mahuling titig na titig ito sa kanya. "Am I still sick?"

He didn't say anything. He just helped her to wear again her dress. When they've done, he brought her to the kitchen. Pinaupo siya nito sa high chair at saglit na iniwan. His broad back shoulder caught her attention. Kumpara kay Andrei ay malaki ang kay Malik. Actually, Andrei is not enough for Malik even if he is older than him. Kung malalaman ni Malik ang nangyari sa kanya noon, natatakot siya sa magiging reaction nito.

"Let's meet a doctor. You're still ill," Malik said with finality in his voice.

Habang kumakain ay iniisip niya kung bakit biglang sumagi sa isip niya si Andrei. Sinubukan lang tanggalin ni Malik ang panty niya ay nagkaganoon na siya. Paano 'yung mga time na nagpapalit siya nang undies? She doing that on daily basis but she never experience such horrible vision. Ngayon lang talaga?

Kahit noon sa pag-attend niya sa Vixie Campaign. Her trigger was seeing Andrei in flesh.

Pinunasan niya ang panghuling baso at inayos sa lagayan bago hinarap si Malik. Nakahalukipkip ito habang nakasandal sa frame ng pinto. "Salamat. Uuwi na ako." She said as she walked passed through him.

Hinawakan nito ang braso niya upang pigilan. "You will stay here."

Nagtataka niyang tiningnan ito. "Malik, I can't. I have to talk to Shawn." Hinigit niya ang braso at agad nagmartsa patungong main door. Ngunit sa hallway palang ay napansin niya na ang malakas na ragasa ng ulan mula sa glass window. Nanghihina niyang binalingan si Malik na agad nakapalapit sa kanya.

His hand landed on her waist while the other one is holding her arms. "The stubborn young lady is still stubborn up to now." He pulled her closer and sniffs her hair. "You're really difficult, baby, but I won't stop of understanding you. I will not."

Ngumuso siya nang mapansin ang lalong paglakas ng ulan. Wala na siyang magagawa, kailangan niyang makasama si Malik sa iisang bubong. Siguro ay maaga nalang siyang aalis.

"Okay, pero nanglalagkit na ako. I want to take a shower."

Malik nodded his head before releasing her. Doon siya dinala nito sa attached bathroom ng kuwarto mismo. Hinintay muna niyang lumabas si Malik bago dinampot ang roba na nakapatong sa malaking kama. She even tried to lay on the bed while thinking how many girls he brought there. How many women did he kiss? And how many girlfriends he had before they met again?

Lumapit siya sa isang malaking pinto na nasa kaparehas na side ng bath room. She got surprised with the huge walk in closet. Katumbas na noon ang kuwarto niya sa Nightingale Palace. Nakakahiya man aminin pero mas malinis at maayos pa ang mga damit ni Malik kaysa sa kanya. She have lots of different category of dresses and shoes. Maayos naman pero minsan napagsasama niya ang mga panglakad sa casual dresses. Iyon ang palaging issue niya kay Carla noon kapag nakikita kung gaano kagulo ang mga damit niya.

Binilisan niyang maligo dahil baka isipin ni Malik nalunod na siya.

He gave her his white big shirt and a panty. Noong una nagdududa talaga siya kung paano ito nagkaroon ng stock noon. O baka sinadya niya iyon dahil sa mga babaeng natutulog doon?

"I ask Roena for that." Paliwanag nito nang mahuling naniningkit ang kanyang mga tingin.

"Close na kayo?" Tinaasan niya ito ng kilay.

He is drying his hair when he glanced at her. "You can say that," he simply replied.

Nakanguso siyang gumapang sa kama. The shirt lift up showing the skin of her private. Inosente niyang binalingan ito na titig na titig pa rin sa kanya. "What?" irritable niyang tanong.

"I should ask Roena to buy you shorts too."

Umirap siya sa kawalan sabay bulong, "Parang babalik pa ako rito."

"What did you say?"

"Wala." Tinitigan niya ito nang masama.

Naabutan niya itong papasok sa walk-in closet. Wala pa siya sa sarili nang muling masdan ang buong kuwarto ni Malik. Ngayon niya lang napansin na mahilig si Malik sa chess board design. Even the color black and white, which is the same color he has on his closet. His shoes, suit and neck tie, even the watches. Hindi ito mahilig sa makulay kung hindi dark and white lamang.

She wondered if he kept the gift she gave him before. Purple Beanie. Hindi iyon perpekto pero sobrang pinaghirapan niya iyong gawin. Alice taught her about knitting.

Diniretso niya ang mga binti at tinitigan iyon. Bigla siyang napalingon sa pinto ng walk in closet nang maalala si Winona. Did he already bring her here? Did he touched her too? She clenched her chest when it becomes heavy. Pakiwari niya ay ilusyon lang ang lahat ng ito. Na si Malik ay hindi para sa kanya kung hindi para kay Winona. Siya ang kontrabida sa pag-iibigan ng dalawa.

Matamlay niyang inayos ang sarili sa pagkakahiga at sumiksik sa gilid habang nakatalikod sa maluwag na espasyo. Ibinaon niya ang mukha sa kumot at ipinikit ang mga mata. I truly love you, Malik. And you say your feelings too, but why it feels like I cannot have you. I don't own your heart.

When she heard the doors sound her heart automatically beat wild. Even the bed slightly swamp when he jumped on the bed to lay beside her.

Dumaloy ang taksil na luha sa kanyang mga mata habang inaalala ang sinseridad sa mga mata ni Malik. How he kissed her passionately. Naidilat niya ang mga mata noong maramdaman ang braso ni Malik na unti-unting pumapalupot sa kanyang baywang. His chest warmly pressing her back too.

"Do you remember us before?" he whispered in her ears.

Her tears fueled by his warmth touch. How could she possibly forget him? Being with him was the safest place she could ever be. Being with him, she felt she's the most precious woman in the world. Being with him, she will never feel alone. He is her home.

"We slept in one bed. I always hug you from the back so you won't feel scared."

She bit her lower lip. Her emotions was boiling and she have to keep them all inside of her. Hindi niya hahayaang iligtas ulit ni Malik. Kailangan niyang harapan ang nakaraan ng siya lang. Hindi niya alam ang puwedeng mangyari sa hinaharapa, baka sa susunod ay mapahamak na ito dahil sa pagligtas sa kanya.

Humigpit ang yakap nito sa kanya, ibinabaon ang mukha sa kanyang leeg. "I will never let you go, baby. Never."

ANG BIGAT ng mata niya nang siya'y papa-akyat sa hagdan. Hindi niya alam kung bakit dito siya dumiretso sa mansion nila. The maids got surprised even the guards disturbed by her early disturbance.

Hindi siya nakatulog kagabi kakaiyak. When Malik started to snore she knows he was in his deep sleep already. Kilala niyang mabilis makatulog ito, at ang senyales ay kapag humihilik na.

She stayed in the sauna to take a nap. This is her punishment to herself, her eyes got swollen because of crying all night. Tiyak na magbubunga na naman ang pagpupuyat niya.

"Ma'am, phone po!"

She got awaken when the maid knocked on the door. "Come in."

Pumasok ito upang iabot ang wireless telephone. Nanghihina pa siya nang mahawakan iyon. Paglabas ng maid ay saka siya nagsalita. "Hello?" she lazily said.

"It's me. Where are you? Let's meet at the Nightingale Palace."

Napatuwid siya nang pagkakasandal dahil sa pamilyar na boses. Kumurap-kurap pa siya dahil hindi niya alam kung ano ang sasabihin. Handa na ba siyang harapin ito? Aaminin na ba niya kay Shawn ang lahat?

"Alright. Give me half an hour."

The call ended and she was still unmoved. She's ready to tell him everything but she's not ready for his feelings. Kung malalaman ni Shawn na siya si Vika, ano ang maaari nitong gawin?

She looked up when she remembered how Shawn and Malik's brotherhood treatment was firm and bold. What if because of her their friendship will be ruin?

She let out a long sighed. Marahas din niyang ipinikit ang mga mata. Ano itong mga bagong problema niya?

Mula sa BMW ay bumaba siya. Kanina pa tunog nang tunog ang cellphone niya dahil sa tawag ni Malik, pero hindi niya sinasagot. Masyado siyang kinakabahan sa paghaharap nila ni Shawn.

Umalis na ang BMW sa tapat niya pero nananatili pa rin siyang nakadungaw sa entrance ng Nightingale Palace. Hindi niya maikilos ang mga paa dahil sa takot na maaaring mangyari kapag sinabi niya na ang totoo.

Humugot siya nang pagkalalim-lalim na hininga bago humakbang. Napakabigat ng kalooban niya sa gagawin. Para bang itutulak niya ang dalawang magkaibigan sa bingit nang kamatayan. Tama ba itong gagawin niya? Puwede naman siyang hindi magpakita pero may parte sa puso niya ang nagsasabing aminin na ang totoo.

Only the truth can set your free. Release you from your heavy chains and burden. Even if it hurts you or someone involved, no one can be escaped from the dare of the truth.

When she passed through the elegant rotating door, she'd almost jump out of nervousness when someone called her name.

"Don't tell me nakalimutan mo na ako?" anito sa kanya, umaktong nagtatampo.

"Palawan, right?" she asked to confuse.

Inikutan siya nito ng mata. "Lily, from Mr. Chen's team." He said while eyeing her get-up. He even removed her exaggerated sunglasses to view her clearly. "You look stunning as always. Ano nakapag-decide ka na ba?"

"Lily!"

Sabay silang lumingon ni Lily sa intsik sa likuran. Her eyes widen when she recognized him. Na-conscious siya bigla sa sarili at nagpahatak sa paghila ni Lily sa kanya palapit dito.

"Mr. Chen, do you remember the beautiful lady on Palawan?" anito rito bago lumingon sa kanya, "Magpakilala ka na girl."

Agad niyang inilahad ang kamay rito bilang paggalang. "Jyra Keith Aldrich, Sir," she sweetly said.

The man nodded his head. "I remember you. The rare beauty who possessed an innocent but fiery aura," he meticulously said, his eyes obviously scanning her from head to toe. Before he took her hand and shook it. "Call me, Mr. Chen, dear. Lily, why not invite her to come with us." He said before releasing her hand.

"Oh, I apologize I will meet someone. Maybe next time, Mr. Chen." An awkward smile crept across her lips while trying to tell to Lily to say something or save her from this unexpected meeting.

Tumawa si Lily bago tinuro kung saan dapat sila patungo. "Mr. Chen I will scribble your schedule-"

Mr. Chen hand over to her his personal calling card. "Give me a call once you are free."

Nang mahawakan niya iyon ay agad lumakad ito upang lagpasan siya. Lily even give her a peck before he left.

Napakurap siya sa nangyari. Sa saglit na interaction kay Lily at Mr. Chen panandalian siyang nakalimot sa reyalidad ng kanyang buhay. When her eyes landed on the restaurant she's going through, a bucket of neurotic filled her chest. Pakiwari nga niya ay lumulutang siya sa paglalakad dahil sa sobrang kaba.

Nahanap agad niya si Shawn nang magtama ang kanilang paningin. Kung noon ay palaging nakangiti ito sa kanya, ngayon ay para isinusumpa nito ang bawat bahagi ng kanyang katawan.

"Hi," she greeted when she sat on the chair across him.

The waiter serve her an orange juice. Nagulat siya dahil doon. Saglit niyang tiningnan iyon bago bumaling kay Shawn. She caught him looking at her.

"Kumain ka na?" she said. She's trying her best to broke the awkward silence between them but she can't make it. Shawn looks not please and he looks unbreakable on his stand.

"Who are you?"

Natulala siya dahil dito. Hindi na ba sila magkakabati nito? Hindi niya gustong ganito ang trato nito sa kanya. Maybe she has to tell him her feelings too? But she doesn't want him to get hurt. But, then again, he will be hurt if she kept it all.

Nagpakawala siya nang malalim na hininga bago nagsalita, "I am Jyra Keith Aldrich."

Shawn just blinked his eyes. There is no any emotion showed on his face. He was truly unreadable right now. And she can't help but struggle deeply. Sa paanong paraan niya ba sasabihin na siya si Vika?

"I and the real Winona switched our identity. She is" - she locked her eyes with him before she swallowed the lump in her throat- "Vika, right now. And I am-" She got interrupted when someone yelled her name. Nang lingunin niya kung sino ito'y agad siyang napatayo.

"Frank?" she asked confused.

Frank is with his corporate team. All of them looks professional and well respect with their synchronize appeal. But, Frank stand out because of being the youngest and grumpy facial features. He's so Malik because of that.

Nilingon niya ang lalaking tinitingnan ni Frank. He is looking at Shawn. And what makes her confuse more is when Frank pulled her and act defending her from Shawn.

"Ano ba, Frank? Bitiwan mo nga ako," she hissed but in her surprised, Shawn holds her other arm too. Naguguluhan niyang tiningnan ito.

"Bitawan mo siya," Frank roared angrily.

"How dare you act like that in front of me, Asshole. Don't touch my woman." Shawn leveled him.

Naguguluhan niya tiningnan ang dalawa. How these two met and why they look enemy?

Frank laughed mockingly, "Your woman?" he probed, he laughed more as if Shawn was the most disgusting human living in this world. "Suck my d**k, mother fucker. I will not allow you to my sister. Dream on her 'till you die." Hinila siya nito paalis, ngunit nanglaban si Shawn na hinarangan naman agad ng bodyguard para hindi makalapit sa kanila.

"Frank, ano ba!" Hinila niya ng buong puwersa ang braso para makabitaw kay Frank. "Ano bang problema mo kay Shawn?"

"Jesus, ate. Kilala mo ba ang fucker na 'yon?"

Lalong kumunot ang noo niya at napasulyap kung saan naroon si Shawn na nananatiling nakatingin sa kanya.

"He is Shawn Friis. Ano bang problema mo sa kanya?"

"He f****d my woman. Will that satisfy your curiosity?"

"Watched your word, Frank!"

"And you are raising your voice? And wait... are you on his side? Ate, nasaan na ang metikolosa kong kapatid?" He acted so disappointedly with her.

"I am not, okay. Parehas kayong mahalaga sa akin dahil kapatid ko rin siya." She revealed, she's trying to understand him and to Shawn. Pero paano niya gagawin iyon kung hindi niya alam ang totoong nangyari sa dalawa. "S-sino nga ulit 'yung babae mo kamo?"

"Bridgette. You know her. She's my long-term girlfriend."

Sumingkit ang mata niya nang mabakas ang pagkahiya sa mukha ni Frank. Nag-walk out din ito na parang bata sa harapan niya. Naiiling niyang binalingan si Shawn na iniwan na ng body guard.

She picked up her phone to give him a call. "Let's talk some other day. You just bump my real brother." She ended the call without breaking their sight. She even gave her a waved.

Shawn, what's this news? Are you really a playboy? But, you said you are not like what Colin always tells me so. I am confused but somehow, I want you and Frank to be okay.

She followed Frank on the elevator while thinking for Bridgette.

Bitching around, huh, Bridgette!
