OWNED by a POSSESSIVE GREEK

Ika Dalawampu’t Anim- Explanation

“What the hell is your problem Silas!” Sigaw ko sabay tulak sakanya at dalo kay Nigel na nasa sahig at hawak ang ilong. “Nigel, are you okay?” Natataranta kong sabi. Kinuha ko ang panyo ko sa bag at inabot sakanya.

“Get up Cassiopeia..” mariing sabi ni Silas. Naestatwa ako, he rarely calls me by my name. And he calling my name in an angry voice, sent shiver to my body.

Nag angat ako ng tingin. Nakayuko sya saakin, his eyes are bloody red.

“Get up.” He said in a cold voice. He is looking at me as if I have done something that he doesn’t really like.

I bit my lips, my hands turned into a fist. Sino sya para utusan ako?! At bakit kailangan nya saktan si Nigel?!

Mabilis na tumayo ako. Without thinking, my hand flew to his face. Rinig ko ang malakas na lagapak ng kamay ko sa pisngi nya. His face turned to the other side due to the impact of my slap na pati ako ay halos nabingi sa lakas.

“You are such an A-hole!” I cried before I turned around and left him dumbfounded. I decided to runaway from them because I don’t want them to see my crying face and my crazy emotions.

I don’t know why I am feeling this way. All I know is that when I saw him, I remembered the scene in the Mansion, him and Sancha in his room almost naked! And now he hurt someone because of me! I know that he punched Nigel because he is jealous!

A tear dropped from my left eye that I immediately wiped off. I am crying because I am too mad at him! He is not just a playboy and a liar, he is also a violent person! Nasa kanya na lahat ng kinaiinisan ko na pag uugali.

“Love..” mabilis ang lakad na ginawa ko ng marinig ang tawag nya. Pinag titinginan na kami ng mga estudyante na nadadaanan namin. “Love, please hear me out.” He pleaded, halos nasa tabi ko na sya dahil sa laki ng hakbang nya. He is tall, so malamang na mahaba ang legs nya at malalaki ang hakbang nya. Hindi ko sya pinansin at nag patuloy lang sa paghakbang. Nakita ko si Kuya Yvo malapit sa canteen, an idea entered my mind. I need to go to Kuya Yvo, siguro naman mananahimik si Silas sa harap ni Kuya Yvo!

“Please..” he begged but I ignored him. I can already see the students pointing at us, talking about us but I don’t care!

Ilang hakbang nalang ay malapit na ako Kay Kuya Yvo. Nagkatinginan kami, his brows furrowed as his eyes went to me then to Silas. Ngunit bago pa ako makalapit kay Kuya Yvo ay nahawakam ni Silas ang pulso ko para pigilan ako sa pag hakbang.

“Love-“

“Ano ba! Don’t touch me!” I hissed. Pwersahan kong hinatak ang pulso ko pero ayaw nyang bitiwan! Hindi ba nya nakita si Kuya Yvo?! “Let go!” I screamed in a low voice, I am aware that we are already making a scene!

“No, we have to talk, we have to settle this-“

“There’s nothing to talk to. Diba nanliligaw ka? Pwes, basted ka na! Now, let go of my wrist!” I said. Sinubukan ko pang alisin ang daliri nya sa pulso ko pero di ko magawa.

I wanted to cry due to frustration.

“Silas..Everleigh..” Hindi ko napansin na nakalapit na pala si Kuya Yvo. Nanlalaki ang mata kong napatingin sakanya.

“Kuya Yvo!” I cried in distress. His jaw clenched. Napapikit sya.

“You two are creating a scene, sa ibang lugar kayo mag usap.” He said firmly.

Umiling iling ako.

“No Kuya, I don’t want to talk to him! Please help me!” Hingi ko ng saklolo. Hiyang hiya na ko sa eksena namin ngayon, I am sure bukas na bukas Kami ang laman ng school gazette!

Kuya Yvo sighed.

“Everleigh, you two must talk. Hindi nyo maayos ang problema pag di kayo nag usap-“

“Ayoko Kuya!” Nag papanic na sabi ko. Bakit ganyan reaksyon nya, dapat ay nagtataka na sya, dapat ay pinipigil nya si Silas sa pamimilit saakin. Bakit parang kinakampihan pa nya ito. Halos irapan ko si Silas, ano sinabi nito kay Kuya Yvo at di ito galit sakanya?!

“Everleigh, wag matigas ang ulo. Go with Silas and talk to him properly.” He said in commanding voice. Ayoko talaga na tinatawag nya ko ng Everleigh dahil pag yun ang tawag nya saakin, it means I did something wrong or he is disappointed.

Bakit parang ako pa ang may kasalanan?

“And you..” sabi nya kay Silas. “Ayusin mo ito. This is the last time that I will see my cousin sad or crying because of you, the next time na maulit pa ito, ako na mismo mag lalayo sakanya.” Kuya Yvo said in a cold voice, matapos ay tinapik nya si Silas sa balikat at iniwan kami.

I can’t believe this! I am now sure na kinausap na nya si Kuya Yvo!

“Let’s go Love.” Malambing nyang sabi.

I bit my lips as I tried to control my anger. Huminga ako ng malalim.

“Let go of my wrist, I can walk alone, sasama ako sayo..let’s end this quickly.” Malamig kong sabi.

I saw pain passed by his eyes. And honestly, I don’t care, dapat lang sakanyan yan.

“This way..” he said gently and I started walking without looking at him.

“Where are we going?” I asked. Pinasakay nya ako sa sasakyan nya. Kulang thirty minutes na kaming bumabyahe ng walang imikan at di ko na nakayanan ang pagtataka.

“You’ll see, we are almost there.” He said before he took his phone and dialed a number.

I rolled my eyes and looked away.

“We are almost there, go out now.” He said coldly.

My brows furrowed, from gentle voice, how can his voice changed that fast to a cold tone? I shrugged and decided to ignore it, after a few more minutes we stopped in front of a huge gate. Someone is standing in front of the gate as if waiting for someone.

Mabilis na bumaba si Silas, Kaya napaalis ako ng seatbelt, bago pa man ako makababa ay naunahan na ko ni Silas na buksan ang pinto ko, inalalayan nya kong bumaba at hindi na ako nakapag react ng sakupin nya ang kamay ko at hinila patungo sa nag hihintay saamin.

My feet froze when I saw who was waiting for us. Mabilis ako bumaling kay Silas at tiningnan sya ng matalim.

“Silas North Dmitri!” Asik ko sakanya, pero para lang wala sakanya iyon. “What are we doing here?!” I pulled my hand away from him but he did not let go my hand. Gusto gusto ko syang paghahampasin sa inis.

He told me he will explain, pero nandito kami sa harap ng bahay ni Sancha?!

“What are we doing here?!”

“Calm down love..” malambing nyang sabi matapos ay pumikit. He looks worn out and worried..but I don’t care! “Sancha..explain to Cassiopeia what happened. Tell her the truth.” He said in a very cold tone.

Mabilis ako napabaling kay Sancha ng tumikhim ito na para bang may nagbara sa kanyang lalamunan.

I can see sadness in her eyes.

“I…I went inside Silas r-room, while Silas is in the shower.” She paused and closed her eyes. Mukhang ayaw nito sabihin ang lahat, at mukhang napipilitan lang.“Then I heard you knocked, I removed my clothes and wore the bathrobe that was on the chair, then sakto lumabas si Silas sa shower..alam ko, papasok ka para I check sya, kaya ng pumasok ka at buksan mo ang ilaw, mabilis akong kumapit kay Silas para halikan sya at para madatnan mo kami sa ganoon na hitsura.” She said in a very low voice, Sancha’s face is red maybe because of the embarrassment, I looked at her intently to see if she’s telling the truth, and I noticed that her eyes were swollen, mukhang umiyak sya ng matindi.

“Now whaat should you do?” Silas hissed.

“Silas..I don’t want to-“

“You should. You lied, you created a mess and tried to ruin us, don’t you think you should own up your sin and stupidity?!” Silas said harshly.

Sancha’s eyes began to water, her lips quivered .

“You brought this to yourself, Sancha. If you were a guy, I would have punched you and sent you to the hospital-“

“Silas!” Sabay namin na sabi ni Sancha, ang pag kakaiba lang ay ang tono nya ay parang nag mamakaawa samantalang ako ay pagalit.

What he said is mean..

If that’s the truth, then what she did is wrong and I hate her for doing that. But I think the words that’s just so cruel.

Napatingin saakin si Silas, ang kaninang mata na puno ng galit ay napalitan ng pag lalamlam. His free hand touches my face.

“I’m sorry.. did I scare you?” He whispered but instead of answering him I looked away, hindi ko kinakaya ang titig nya.
