CHAPTER 24- ENIGMA UNSOLVED

MALIYAH POV

My palms are shaking. I saw rage and longing in his deep blue-green eyes. Maya maya naging malamlam iyon, ngunit agad ring nawala. Napalitan ng walang emosyong mga mata, at nagtagis ang mga bagang niyang nakatingin sa akin.

“Wa—ter” malat na boses niyang sabi sa akin. Kumuha agad ako ng tubig, dahan-dahan kong inangat ang ulo niya, at inilapit sa bibig niya ang baso para makainom siya. Nang tumigil ito sa pag inom, inilapag ko ang bago sa side table, nakakalahati rin nito ang tubig.

“Sir—Sir Clint, do you need anything else?” utal kung tanong sa, diretso kung tinitigan ang kanyang mga mata, sinalubong niya yun ngunit i

• EXQUISITE DESIRE   CHAPTER 25-GUT-WRENCHING SCENE

  MALIYAH POV As I closed the door, tears fell from my eyes. All my bravery was gone. I could feel the excruciating pain in my chest. I punch where my heart is located just to ease the pain, to no avail. I wiped my tears and walked toward the exit. I saw Mang Danilo standing on the hood of the car. As I moved in his direction, he opened the door as soon as he saw me walking. I saw confusion in his eyes, and sadness was visible on his face. "May problema, Ms. Maliyah?" I felt his pity and concern. Walang akong maapuhap na sagot sa kanya. Kundi simpleng tango nalang. Hindi naman ito nagtanong pa ulit. Pero dinig ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya, ng pumasok na ito sa driver's seat. Ipinikit ko, ang mga mata ko. Para hindi na ulit tumulo ang mga luha ko ngunit kahit anong gawin ko, umalpas pa rin yun. As I wiped my tea

  MALIYAH POVA month after that kissing scene, I felt a knife strike me in the chest; that kissing part was like a nightmare that kept on haunting me even in my dreams. Sir Clint was discharged weeks after he woke up. Our working relationship was worse than I thought. He made it complicated and difficult on my part. He was angry every time I was near, but he laughed and enjoyed it even though there was nothing to laugh about. Minsan iniisip ko, nasisiraan na ito dahil sa mga kinikilos niya. Gaya na lang ngayon. Masaya ito pero ang pinapanood naman niya ay action movie, para itong may tama sap ag iisip sa kinikilos niya. Nakatayo ako sa di kalayuan sa kanya kasi gusto niyang magpahinga. Hindi pa sana tapos ang dalawang oras na session namin. Nag rereklamo na agad itong pagod na. Their gym was fully equipped.

May lahing witch ba si Sir Clint? “Hello?” patanong kong sagot sa kong sino man tumawag hindi ko na natingnan ang screen ng telepono ko.

Hindi ko na siya naiintindihan. Dali dali akong bumangon at pinatay ko na ang tawag at diretso ako sa banyo para maligo. Gusto ko nang liparin ang Maynila papuntang Cavite.

  MALIYAH POV (SPG) Umuwi muna si Alexander sa kanila, and he strongly denied what happen, hindi daw siya magpakamatay sa overdose. He admitted he was drunk because he witnessed his boyfriend was cheating. Gusto niya lang daw kumalma at makatulog. I pity him for what happened. As for me, Clint and I were strangers, akala ko yung bakasyon namin was the start, and I was utterly wrong. He was a different person back then, and on that day, he formally asked me again for the second time. I was naive to believe that we have a second chance.

  MALIYAH POV I am entirely in the dark about how Clint treated me this way. A few days ago was the most painful, I have ever experienced, being dropped like you were nothing. Masakit pa pati mga anak niya ganun rin ang trato niya. Like they never existed. He was asking who they were out of the blue. Then sometimes, he remembers them. Kahit ako'y nalilito sa sa inaasta niya. Pilit kong inuunawa, dahil baka lang may kinalaman ito sa matagal niyang pagkaka-coma. “Yaya pakainin na natin ang kambal aalis kami ngayon para sa kanilang vaccine schedule.” Saad ko sa dalawang butihing yaya ng mga bata. “Opo ate” sabay nilang tugon sa akin. Natutuwa sila dahil naging mabait ang mga bata sa kanila. Pababa na kami, ng marinig ko ang lampungan ng dalawang taong ayaw kong makita. “Kingston please stop that.” Dinig ko ang harutan ng dalawa, at halos saksakin ko na ang mga ito sa isip ko. “Kingston please stop that” , as I murmured the line of Scarlet the bitch.

• EXQUISITE DESIRE   SPECIAL CHAPTER

  CLINT POV (SPECIAL CHAPTER WITH SPG) My wedding proposal last night was a success. Maliyah’s face was epic. She was surprised, shocked even. She was crying, yet happiness was visible in her beautiful eyes. What touched me even more, was her face when she saw me on my knees, full of bruises, cuts, and wounds all over my face and body. My heart aches every time I see her, tears fall, and I feel excruciating pain is too much to handle. I want to kick myself for pulling off stunts to make it more convincing. No doubt that she loved me very much. I have been waiting for the perfect time to propose, but everything gets complicated every time. So, I decided to plan everything from distancing myself, being aloof, and treating her in a very cold manner. I only want to hug, kiss her, and bury my manhood inside her.

I don't know what I did wrong. Kapag tinatanong ko naman siya kung may problema, lagi nalang niyang sagot, he was tired and he handled high-profile clients. Isang tanong isang sagot lang din ito. Hindi rin siya sabay kumakain sa akin, pero siya ang nag papakain sa triplets namin, katulong ang mga yaya nila. Yaya Mameng stayed in the penthouse para may kasama daw ako.

Then a white light came out from nowhere, and I saw the same woman in my dreams; her face was at peace and beautiful as ever. “Hello Miss, kilala mo ba ako?” it was full of curiosity questions, wondering who she was. “Maliyah, alam kong marami ang mga katanungan sa isip mo pero ito lang ang hiling ko sayo, bigyan mo ng pagkakataong magpaliwanag si Clint, at mahalin mo ang kambal!” then she turned around and walk towards the light, left me dumbfounded. Siya ang ina ng kambal, paulit ulit itong nag replay sa utak ko. “Miss wait please!

  CLINT POV A cold water woke me up. My hands and feet are tied up in a metal chair. My eyes roamed around. I saw Maliyah sitting not far from where I was. She’s still unconscious, and my heart tightens as I look at her. She is indeed the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I was madly in love with her. I go crazy without her. No one is around the area. I can’t even move. My wrists and feet have tie wraps on them. They double it and cover my mouth with duct tape. “Well!Well look who’s awake.” Napalingon ako sa boses ni Scarlet. Puno ng galit ang nararamdaman ko ngunit wala akong magawa. She went closer to Maliyah and pulled her hair and slapped her face. I cursed to death as I saw Maliyah's red face. She can’t utter any words because she has duct tape too. I saw her tears falling on her beautiful face. Parang tinarakan ako ng kutsilyo sa mga luha niya. “Wake up your stupid bitch!!!” it was Scarlet and shouting at Maliyah’s face. She’s murmuring. Lalong nag pupuyos ang galit ko.

Nagluluha na ang mga mata ko, wala naman lumalabas sa bibig ko kundi dilaw na likido mula sa tiyan ko. Hagod sa likod ang nag pataas ng tingin ko. It was Clint wearing a floral pink apron and he’s holding a ladle on his left hand. I was mesmerized how handsome this man standing in front of me. “Are you alright sweetheart?” kikiligin na sana ako dahil kitang kita ko ang pag alala niya sa akin ngunit biglang pumasok na naman sa isip ko ang nakakaawang mukha ni Marco. My conscience and guilt were hitting the deepest part of my heart and I was drowning in despair at the same time. A question pops up in my head? Bakit nga ba ako nag suka wala naman ako kinain. I have no watch to check the time. Nag mumog ako at nag hilamos. Iniabot niya sa akin ang towel nang hindi man lang ako nagpasalamat “Oo okay lang ako! Tabi dadaan ako!” pa

As the pain starts, then hatred follows. Then a question pops up in my head. Is vengeance necessary to get my justice? But an image of a dying boy who helped me escape was haunting my peace. Blood flowed on his mouth, a tear in his beautiful eyes as he closed them, and everything was back in my reverie. How would I get my justice? Then an image of him appeared in front of me. He looked at me with sympathy, longing, fear, and anticipation. Mixed emotions were all over his handsome face. "Maliyah!" as he called out my name, it was the sweetest yet. There is a frightened tone in it. Oh, I missed those dark blue, green eyes I always adored. But something wasn't right. Memories are dashing to my mind, and I can't process any of them.
