CHAPTER 21: SELFISH

CALLIX

I’m busy taking care of our guest because dad is so busy with mom that he forgot that he has a party, I glanced at the swimming pool but I couldn’t see who are they. I saw the person slap the other person and it looks like its hard because the other person fell in the pool the suddenly the person asked for help.

I heard a familiar voice, like it’s Trisha’s voice and I heard a shout and it looks like it’s lian so I run and I saw lian in the pool so I jumped.

“ gab help lian” he supported lian and I took off my coat to wrap her and they walked in.

“ Why did you slap her?” my cold question.

“it his fault that’s why I slapped her” her annoying answer.

“ then tell me what’s the reason so that If it’s valid I’m going to fire her” I know lian, she a straight forward but she’s honest and she will not do this if she is not mad.

“ can you just follow your girl because its looks like she needs you” she sounds jealous?

“ huh? Mrs. Ledesma, you sound jealous” I smiled at her, and I’m sure that she’s jealous.

“ excuse me. Devera, your too windy. Let me remind you that I’m married and I’m contented to my husband” I clenched my fist.

“ oh really? Based on my experience I gave everything to you but you were not contented that’s why you let me go, I am right Mrs. Ledesma?” I saw her angry on her face.

“ I didn’t let you go because it’s you callix, you agreed to what my mom said” I looked at her seriously.

“ I agreed because I thought you’re going to object but you didn’t say any words, I looked at you but you looked away. Now tell me who came out first!?” the pain came back to my heart.

“it’s you! Because you thought that your mom is right” I said madly.

“ yes, I’ll admit it, but is it my fault that I want to prolong my life? Callix you know that I have so many dreams and one is to have a child, I just want to live is that my fault?” she said then she started to cry.

“ that’s why you didn’t even object to what your mommy wants?” I’m holding my anger.

“it’s not like that,” she said softly while crying.

“ then what? Trisha, I did everything for you! I worked hard to save money, yes I knew it was lacking so I swallowed my dignity and knelt to your parents to help you! But you didn’t say anything because of what? Because you know that it’s true of what your parents said and I cant give you what you need and also you think that I am worthless! Person! For you!” I shouted in anger because I have harbored anger in my chest for a long time.

“ I’m a worthless person! That’s! that’s what you think of me. All I want is to save you but you made me garbage and just threw it away because I’m useless to you” my tears dripping because of the pain.

“ I’m sorry, I’m sorry” she’s crying.

“ sorry? That sorry cant heal my torn heart” I looked at her full of bitterness crying as she sobbed and cried.

“ Trisha” Alex groaned, he looked at both of us and my parents came, and also Trisha’s parents come.

“ I’ve become selfish and I’m sorry “ he approached me and held my arm.

“ then stand up for your selfishness and face your consequences” I grabbed my arm from her and I left her crying but Alex stopped by holding my arm.

“ now that you’re rich, does that mean you’ll going to revenge?” Alex askes coldly and I looked at him.

“ yes, and I start with your company” I grabbed my arm and looked at them smiling.

I went straight to my bedroom and couldn’t help but to shout and cry until now everything that happens was still fresh to me as if everything happened only yesterday.

“ ahhhhh! “ I shouted and crying at the same time I threw away whatever I hold FUCK! The way she said sorry it looks like the wound is superficial but it’s not! At first superficial but gradually deepens and Is no longer treatable.

“ callix” mom came over and hugged me.

“ mom it hurts! Why is that it’s really painful!” I just let my tears flow.

“ I thought I was okay, I thought I can handle it but why is that it still hurt. When I looked at them the pain is coming back that they caused” my mom hugging me and caressed my back.

“ son you had enough so please forget all the things and told to you” I looked at myself.

“ callix we know that you hurt so much but you have to let that anger and move on” I shook my head to what my mommy said.

“ no! not until I proved that I am not a worthless person”

I looked at mommy who was sad about my decision and I looked dad as if he wants to say he was just beside me and support me.

I’m sure of my decision, sometimes people think it’s okay to insult people because they know they have something to be proud of but they say the world is round and we don’t know how long we stay tall.

You enjoy being at the top but you don’t realize that the one I the bottom is gradually rising and ready to drop you down.
