CASSIUZ could feel that Wynter didn’t have feelings for him. Those words… those words that Wynter told him is like a broken record. Napabuga ng hangin si Cassiuz. Does she really not like me? Or she’s just pretending? She agreed to date me.“Mukhang ang laki ng problema mo, Cassiuz.” Ani Roman. Ang ama ni Wynter.Cassiuz wanted to think so he went out. Hindi niya naman namalayan na dito siya sa bahay nila Wynter pumunta. Hindi niya kasama ang mga bodyguard niya. Nagpadala na lang siya ng mensahe kay Mark na ligtas siya.“Tito…”“Soda?”“Thank you, Tito.” Kinuha ni Cassiuz ang soda na ibinibigay ni Tito Roman. Binuksan niya ito at uminom.Umupo si Roman sa mahabang sofa, sa tapat ni Cassiuz. “Bakit ka pala napadalaw rito?

Hindi na talaga kita papansinin.”“Are you serious?”“Kailan ba ako nagbiro sa ‘yo?” seryosong sabi ni Wynter.Napabuntong hininga na lang si Cassiuz at wala ng nagawa kung hindi ang sundin si Wynter. “Okay. Okay. Fine. I will tell them not to follow you.”Ngumiti si Wynter na nasa kabilang linya. “Thanks, but no thanks.” Then she ended the call.Cassiuz sighed and then he shook his head.

Kailangan kong banyusan ni Cassiuz.”Tumango si Mark saka isinara ang pinto.Ibinaba naman ni Wynter ang sling bag sa bench na nasa dulo ng kama ni Cassiuz. Tinignan niya ang binata. Napailing siya saka umupo sa gilid ng kama. “Cass, I like you too.” She confessed. “I’m sorry, I don’t any courage to confess to you. To tell you honestly, I am afraid.” Napabuntong hininga siya saka hinawakan ang kamay ni Cassiuz. “I won’t promise you anything but I can be by your side whenever you needed me.” She smiled.Napatingin si Wynter sa pinto nang may kumatok. “Come in.”Bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Mark na may dalang maliit na palanggana at si Jerome na may hawak na isang baso ng tubig.

Sumandal siya sa kinauupuang swivel chair at tinaasan ng kilay si Cassiuz. “Bakit pa kailangan nating lumabas?”“Well…” Nag-iwas ng tingin si Cassiuz. “Hindi basta-basta ang sasabihin ko.”Kumunot ang nuo ni Wynter habang nakatingin kay Cassiuz. Naalala niya ang mga sinabi nito nang lasing ito. Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga saka nag-iwas ng tingin. “Naalala mo ba ang mga pinagsasabi mo sa akin noong nalasing ka?”Napakurap si Cassiuz at nakaramdam ng kaba. “Did I say something inappropriate?” Cassiuz asked.Umiling si Wynter. “Hindi naman pero ang dami mo lang kasing sinasabi.” Nagkibit
