Samuel stood up in front of Mika, his babe didn't even notice her. Je remained silent as Mikaela keeps on talking to Mona.
"Mona, can you please give me your number? I'll go home tomorrow. I'll be living you here forever. Take care okay? You're boss's girlfriend is naughty Mona, be careful.. But if she's like that, have patience. Hold yourself back.. If you feel you can't hold back anymore, save your ass, Stay away from her—that's the best thing to do.. In this life, it's better to keep silent and stay away from troubles that to fight, most especially when you know you are fighting with —nothing "
He motioned Mona to answer her.
"Okay big sis.. You can come visit us here right? Big sis, you're voice is so good. And you play guitar that good too.. You're not just beautiful, you're talented too! But why the heck you're crying?? You made me cry a river!"
He is just staring at his babe.. But Mikaela is just leaning her forehead on the guitar and doesn't have a care on her surroundings.
"This is me Mona, I'm always like this when I'm stressed. when I'm sad, and when I feel like giving up. In sining, I can Pour out my feelings.. In music, I can let out my pain.. In music, I can relax—even just for a moment, just like now." she let out a little chuckle.
He sighed, his heart is aching and he couldn't do anything but to watch her..
'fuck it!'
He will fight for her, he can't afford to lose her.. Not now, never! Je just found out, he is not just loving her, he is deeply and irrevocably in love with her!
Love. Not lust. The heat of the body that they shared is out of love. Not lust. How stupid is he that only now that he noticed! He could lose the woman that he love for his stupidity. Damn it!
He gathered himself. Its now or never! He could die if he'll lose her.
He cleared his throat, wanting to get her attention.
"Arrhm, can I borrow the guitar?" her face lift up and she dried her tears, wiping her whole face with her t-shirt.
Thousands of holding back he did, just to not gather her in his arms. But hell, God knows how he wants to. God knows how he wanted her to cry on his chest as he caress her back and whisper on her ears that there's nothing to worry about because he love her, he love the whole her..
All of her.
"Here, take it, sorry, did I interrupt you? I didn't notice that my voice so loud.. Again , I'm sorry" she said in low voice, almost whispered.
She stayed sitting.
"Nah, your voice is beautiful. Soothing" he smiled at her.
He can play guitar also, can sing as well. He's vocalist back then in their band when he was in college. Till now when they need or wanting to band on RR's bar, together with his cousins.
It's their bonding. Not to mention their faces, they have talent in singing. It's not bragging but, they have a lot of qualities. But just like normal humans, they have their own flaws, after all, they're all humans.
He started playing the strings. In this time, he wanted to tell her how much she means to him. He wanted to let her know what's inside his heart. His heart that's only beating for her, by this—singing.
'Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Or would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul tonight?'
He's glaring at her, her eyes that so Soft and tender. He wanted to tell her he loves her in her eyes.
' Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Or would you laugh? Oh, please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you love?
Oh hold me in your arms tonight'
He wants to hold her forever. He loves her. He wants her to stay. Could it be possible?
'I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away'
Would you swear that you'll always be mine
Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care, you're here tonight'
Tears keeps falling down in Mikaelas cheeks.
He stared at her while singing every single lyrics. He wanted to be her hero. He wants to take care of her. He wants her to be happy. Not the other way around.
'I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Oh, I just hold you
I just hold you, oh yeah
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Well, I don't care, you're here tonight'
"Mika, I am—"
"honey! I'm home!" to his surprise, Tina cut him off and kissed him torrid in front of Mika!
The hell?!
Mikaela's mouth just parted. Parted on shocked as she watched them kissing.
She let out a small chuckle as she is clenching her fist. Her throat suddenly became dry as she keeps on swallowing her own saliva.
"Drink this big sis" it's Mona who is giving her a glass of water. shaking hands and trembling body, she took the glass.
She drinks it till the last drop. But her throat is still dry. Her heart is aching and her body went cold.
She hold Mona —whom her reflexes is good— and she helped her because she wanted to stand and run.
Runaway from the reality. From the real world—From them.
"You okay big sis?"
"Mo-Mona"
Her voice was crack. 'shit! Not now self... Please be calm!'
"Mona, can you please help me go to my room?"
Samuel called her, but she didn't turn around. She grip Mona's hand and ask her to continue walking.
"Are you okay?" Mona ask again.
"Yeah. Don't worry.. Just —can you give me anything sweet? Chocolate or do you have honey? Can you please give me Mona?" she said as her voice is like doesn't wanting anyone to hear it.
Mona nodded and went out. She wrap herself by her arms. She sighed. Sighing because she doesn't want to cry anymore. Her heart is now numb. No more pain. No more aching.
'God.. I'm dying'
She wanted to strangle their neck. Or just shoot them to die for giving her pain. For showing her the scene that can break her. For ripping her inside.
Mona enters and handed her the jar of honey and juice. After she took onwe spoon of honey, she drink the juice and seconds later, her body relaxed.
"Are you feeling better now big sis?" She can tell, Mona concerns is pure.
"Yeah, I hope so" she said and nodded.
"Shoud I help you remove all of her hair? All of it till she become bald? Yeah.. You want it?" says Mona.
She giggled. Good thing Mona is always here beside her. Indeed she's a friend.
"Nah, I think, much better if we remove her lips—it's good idea, right?" she said in flat voice.
"Yeah. Yeah.. Better —let's go?"
She giggled at Mona. Then they heard a voices and footsteps entering the madams room. Mona wet out from her room, she knows Mona wanted to do her work.
But she needs to give the madam her medicine, so she get up, wipe her face and went out from room like nothing happened.
Work is different from he personal life. She should gather her self together —she must.
She saw some image of man in the corner of her eyes but she didn't bother to look at them instead, she went straight to the madam who is now sitting in her bed and gave her all her medication.
Samuel is clenching his jaw, gritting his teeth as he is looking sharply to Tina. And Tina is just sitting comfortably from one of the sofa in the living room.
Geoffrey and MN went out to buy som beer. The three girls are now in the garden, and the rest is just sitting — silently.
After his cousins send their grandmother to her room, they came back with grimacing faces.
Looking at him like they wanted to wreck his neck and just hang him to death. But they keep silent tho.
"Honey. Something wrong?" Tina is frowning as she looks at him.
"When did I become yor honey?" he said, cold voice and rough.
"Hon.. What's wrong?" she said in very pretentious way.
"Nothing wrong Tina, just get the hell out of here! Get lost while I'm still on my sanity Tina.. Just get lost!" he said on a very serious voice.
Making Tina flinched a little. But she immediately composed her self and smiled.
"Honey.. Calm down. What's the problem?"
"Joshua" he called Joshua but his eyes is on Tina. Not leaving her face because he wanted to see her expression.
"Yes big bro" it's Joshua.
"Call Roderick, tell him I need him to put someone on fire! ASAP.. And tell him, I am not kidding!"
