"Hijo? Hijo! Hail Mary! Why did you sleep here outside the yard? I thought you left because you disappeared but here you are and you are still very wet. My God to you!"
Zyd frowned when he was tapped. He slowly opened his eyes and adjusted his seat. He was just sitting next to the gate and only then did he notice that it was morning. He adjusted himself and sneezed. He immediately apologized.
"Good morning Mrs. Vergara." he enriched his voice even though he sneezed several times in front of the old woman. He knew the Lady, this was Elhouette's mother. She was carrying a frying pan and her face was full of worry.
"My son, why are you sleeping out here?" She asked angrily, "Oh, this boy! I don't know why and what happened to you and Lianne but I'm not like that. Come inside, come in ... "
"But Lianne might be angry-"
"I don't care," she interrupted quickly, "I'm her Mother. I've seen you two for a long time that she always fights you. I'm not on your side because that woman doesn't tell you about but I see all your efforts just to talk to my daughter. So that's enough, come inside. "
He could not breathe. He nodded slowly and followed the Lady. His sneeze was still steady and it looked like it would pick him up. He just waited for Elhouette to open the door for him. Even if the neighbor laughs at him, or laughs at him like a fool waiting outside while soaking wet in the rain. He does not care.
The Lady gave him a towel and a pair of clothes that her husband had worn. He looked around, the interior of the house was large and the design was simple but beautiful. The Lady was the only one he noticed awake. He showed her to a nearby bathroom and ordered her to take a bath so that her sneeze might turn into a fever.
Worried Zyd looked at himself in the clothes he was wearing after he had taken a shower. Because he was big and tall, the polo did not fit him. While the pants, torn. He was forced to come out with only a towel covering his private parts while his six pack abs were clearly visible.
"My God! Santa-Maria is a child. " It was so close to the table that it almost fell off the chair it was sitting on. "Why are you bored ?!"
"Ah, because it didn't happen-"
"Mom, when that happened!"
She looked in the direction of Elhouette's voice from above. It went down the stairs and almost fell down the flight of stairs.
"Elhouette!" Super Man quickly approached the woman to attend to her.
"Ate, what- oh my God! Pandesal ?! "
"Dish ?!"
He backed away when Elhouette slapped his hand and pushed him away from it. Her two sisters came quickly and with excitement looked at her down to her stomach. He was suddenly born and blushed.
"Ate, why is your husband hot? His pandesals, the taste is made into a coffee dip. "
"Ate, congratulations to you and brother Zyd! He's handsome, oh. " At the same time, he pointed to his stomach and his two brothers giggled. While the woman he loves pinches it on the side and pushes the two back up.
He just innocently stared at it as he waited for Elhouette to come down frowning. It just looked at him badly and passed out. He went straight to the kitchen where the Lady was having coffee.
"Ma naman! Why are you letting this man in? You know I don't want to see his face. He is an irresponsible man! He only knows how to enjoy the bed and his brain is small. "
He was secretly hurt by what he said but he did not say a word because he knew it was all true. Zyd remained silent standing to one side. He tries not to sneeze even if his nose and throat are very itchy.
"Oh my gosh, Lianne, you're young! Am I 'don't scold'? I'm tired of you two. If you don't want to see him, shut up. You didn't feel sorry for that man, yes. I waited for you outside all night and got wet in the rain. Alas, I did not make you rude to the visitor. "
"But Mom-"
"Sit down and have coffee," the Lady interrupted, "You too, Zyd. Sit here - my God! " It was signed of the cross when he glanced at his abs. "Don't you have any clothes with you?"
"Nothing."
He looked at Elhouette, she just looked at him badly and gave him a deadly smirk.
"Aren't you going to town? Buy that child too, Lianne. Don't go for less that your full potential. Well, come on Zyd. It's sitting! " The Lady pointed to the table as she seasoned coffee.
He quietly obeyed and sat down in front of the woman. It just frowned while drinking coffee. He reached for the pandesal, it was slightly stunned and looked at his chest towards his abs. When it noticed nakathe wanted, immediately the face of the woman he loved turned sour and he stared at her. He was secretly out of breath. He was willing to wait for it to be forgiven even if it took him a few years. Will he still give up?
Zyd was just closing his eyes as he lay on the soft sofa when he heard the shrill voice of his lone princess. It immediately ran towards him and softened.
"Daddy!"
He quickly accepted her hug and kissed her head. "My baby princess! How's my baby? " He sat down and faced the boy.
He giggled and pointed out to Lianne that he could hardly paint his face with so much annoyance. It was a big step now to approach them and then take the child from him. He almost got close to his hand that hit his skin. She misses its caresses on him.
"Wear a blanket!" He threw a blanket at him. The extent of his smile when he caught it then it invited Aerush to leave.
"Bye Daddy! Let's play when we come back, ah? Stay there. " The boy waved at him until they were out of the house.
He sighed and went back to lying down. Lianne forbade him to sleep in any of the rooms upstairs because he was not a guest. So on the sofa he would rest even so awkward that he had no covering other than a towel. Moments later, he fell asleep. He felt that it would make him sick. Hudson would laugh at him by chance.
Zyd just woke up when he heard Aerush Li's shrill voice. He was able to get up and then he felt the onset of a headache. Fuck! He leaned back for a moment and closed his eyes.
He was stunned when he opened his eyes and directly hit the man as well as the Philippines, followed. Henrik Gustavvson. Her eyebrows lined up especially as she was carrying her child. They stare and trashtalkan in the mind. If Aerush hadn't gotten down here and quickly ran towards him, they might have already fought with the brain.
"Daddy! We bought you clothes. "
He just smiled and kissed it on the forehead. "Really?"
Then Lianne approached them and without emotion threw the two paperbags she was carrying at her. "Get dressed and then leave. You are not needed here. Also, we have a visitor. "
He did not answer. He chose 'don't understand the pain that crept into his heart at what Elhouette said. She just quietly went to the bathroom and put on the clothes she had bought. He smiled when he saw that everything was just right. To this day, the woman still knows her taste.
His sister, whom he knew by the name of Eliann, called him to eat lunch. He obeyed the girl until they came to the yard. There he noticed a small party full of seafoods and various dishes on the table. He saw that they were already sitting and he was the only one waiting. His gaze deepened on Gustavvson when he saw the empty seat next to him.
"Daddy, you're in the seat!"
He was forced to step in Gustavvson's direction and sit there. Oh fuck! This gonna be fun.
They started eating after Elhouette's father prayed that he didn't even know the name. He could barely move the food in irritation at the presence of Gustavvson who was taking care of his beloved woman as well as his child. He should have done all that but when he did that, Elhouette would just give him a cold look by chance.
Everyone except Zyd was so jealous that he could hardly take the food in his mouth because of the jealousy he felt. Fuck, yeah! She is jealous and she really wants to grab the man. He clenched his fist and was forced to 'don't react'. He knew he had no right even if he died of jealousy today in front of his mother and father.
"Up to the water, please?"
At the same time, Gustavvson handed Elhouette water when she asked for it. They look at his mortal enemy in hockey and kill mentally. He was the first, so Elhouette had to pick up her glass and pitcher.
Her son shifted his gaze to the glass and pitcher that the two of them handed over while Elhouette, frowned at him. His world seemed to collapse when his queen reached for Gustavvson's glass.
First blood!
He wanted to squat. Is there something wrong with the water jug he is holding? He can be seen there, clean and with the same water and jug, but why Gustavvson? His shoulder dropped and he was about to return to his seat when his son reached for the glass he was holding.
"Daddy I want water too!" it smiled super sweetly.
His face lit up and his smile was so wide. Somehow, there was his son, his princess who looked like a big man when you think about it. Nababakla naman siyes. She feels that she will cry because of Aerush's beautiful smile ... The Aerush of her life.
He poured water into the glass and handed it to her.
On his birthday, even though the Pittsburgh Team had a game, he ran away. He went to the child's birthday celebration and as usual, Elhouette kicked him out. It was okay for him to be kicked out, as long as he saw the child blow out the candle and give the child the kiddie hockey set with his Jersey number stamped.
Zyd could hardly sleep that night. He moved steadily on the sofa. At his height, he could barely fit in there. Only now did he notice that he had not been comfortable in bed since Gustavvson had come to this house. The lady forced him to sleep in the guest room but he was next to the man. He did not consent. She chose the sofa even though she knew she couldn't sleep especially now that the man was here and the rooms upstairs might still be next to each other. A lot of things entered his mind and he was attacked by excessive jealousy.
He decided to get out and went to the balcony of the house. She sighed and sadly stared at the dark sky. It had just rained so the whole area was still wet. Elhouette chased him away earlier but because it rained all day until night, he couldn't leave.
Choose someone that chooses you.
He clenched his fist. To this day, that word is still in the corner of his heart. Would he still choose if now, he was no longer Elhouette's choice? Will he stop? Damn, no! Even face-to-face it caresses him, even face-to-face showing him that he has no room in its heart, that he has nothing to return to, He will not stop. He can do it. It was a small thing compared to what he had done to drive Elhouette away before and speak to her with hurtful words.
But his world collapsed even more when he looked up to the other side, he saw his beloved woman, talking to Gustavvson on the terrace.
Puta!
His mouth watered at the witness. He seemed to be stuck in his seat and could barely look back. He's hurt by what he sees now and for fucking sake, it's like a hockey stick is beating his heart!
He regained his sight and refrained from making any noise lest they be disturbed. Zyd just thought that hopefully, when he wakes up tomorrow, the former Elhouette he married will return. The woman broke down the wall he had put up. The woman he thought, just up to contract. The woman messed up her whole system and now, another man is making her happy.
A fucking karma, right ... Fuck this heart!
One week. One week ago, Gustavvson and I had a heated argument when it came to the woman they both love. He and he both wanted to, he didn't want to give up even though Lianne made him feel that he had little hope.
The other day, they both went with the man to the paddy field and how good they were at the ice rink, they were so ignorant when they plowed the paddy ...
"Fuck! Will you stop following me, Gustavvson? " he growled at the man. Earlier it had followed him. He was almost bathed in mud because of the speed of the buffalo's walk.
"I am not, McCluskey!" he growled, "And shut your mouth. You're scaring the old kelebew. "
"Kelebew?"
"Yeah, kelebew. That animal is kelebew. "
Puta! He wanted to kick its face. "That's a buffalo, tangina!" asik niya, "Get your ass away from me, Gustavvson. I'm asphyxiated by your face and makes me wanna drown you here, right there, on this fucking mud! "
His gaze deepened on her and challenged her to a fistfight. As they were both bored because they had changed in the mud, the two of them faced each other and were about to fight when Elhouette's old father approached them. Gustavvson and I just killed each other mentally.
When the old man left for a while, he challenged him to race a buffalo in the middle of the paddy field. Their audiences, farmers as well and the women watching them, almost melted with excitement.
Their buffalo was set and they also counted two to three. Exactly counting the three of them, heavy rain fell. Oh yeah, an unlucky day.
"Elhouette!" he calls the woman.
Her eyebrows met immediately when she saw him. They were in the paddy field again that day and it was sitting in a small hut while the wind blew. Henrik, with their son who came home for a while because he wanted to eat ice cream. He was the one who presented to come but his little unica hija refused. He would have been hurt, when he realized that he and Elhouette were the only ones left in the little hut. His father was also absent, so he went with the compadre to get seeds in a nearby town. They were the only two in the rice field.
"When are you leaving home?"
No. he replied. He just stared at it even though his eyebrow was raised looking at him. "How much do you hate me for me to reduce."
He laughed full of sarcasm. "You know, hold on. How many times do I have to stamp it on your elbow? Na. Akong. Feeling for you? "
"Elhouette ..."
He looked up and looked at her wickedly, "I'm going home. Stay here. " It immediately went down the wooden stairs but he blocked it.
"Elhouette, oh. Please, talk to me politely, oh? " pleading he pleads. His hands and feet were covered in mud but Zyd didn't care. He grabbed her hand but she withdrew his hand.
Her eyes were on fire as she looked at him. "You know, Zyd? You're funny. You look like a dog in my eyes, one after another. You know that word you don't love? Why are you pushing yourself on me, huh? Oh come on! Captain, many more women will fall for you. 'Don't be with me, please? Aside from the fact that I don't need a man without testicles, I also don't need men like you. Addle-brained. Your brain is in the egg. All you know is, lust. Can't you see I'm happy with Henrik, Zyd? Or are you just splitting up? Okay, for you to really stop- Henrik and I, okay? Is that clear? "
"Elhouette ..." it just formed on his lips as he looked into her eyes to see if he was telling the truth. He felt his heart ache and mercilessly squeezed it. To this day, he still does not change every time such a disease strikes.
He lost ... Gustavvson defeated him.
"What are you waiting for? Get out of my son's life! We don't need you Aerush. Fortunately, my son is smart, he knows who he should go with and not you, Zyd. And don't you ever think of taking her from me, you won't win. You're leaving! "
He smiled bitterly as it pushed him hard. He backed away slightly and looked at the woman sadly. From her beautiful eyes, to her sharp nose, to the red lips she had always longed to kiss before. If only he knew what the future held, if only he could bring back the past.
Slowly tears fell from his eyes as he stared at it. "I-even a little chance, Elhouette ... I-even a little ... Is it really gone?"
He just smiled and his answer broke his heart even more. "Gone. I love Henrik. " Elhouette immediately turned her back on him but he chased after her and hugged her very tightly from behind.
"Baby please ... Come back to me. Come back to me, Elhouette ... I'm begging you ... "his voice began to growl. No matter how hard he tries 'don't be weak and gay in front of the woman but nothing, he can't lie to himself. She is in pain. He didn't want Henrik to choose it. Even if he is angry with his attitude now.
"What is it, Zyd! Let me go. What!" He tried to pull her hand away but he tightened his grip.
"Zyd, what! Let go of what I said, eh. "
"Elhouette, oh." He knelt on the rocky ground.
In all of Zyd's life, he had just knelt before a woman who was crying. He no longer cares about his pride, because he will get it if his own heart gives up. For fucking goodness! He's ready to replace all of his team's Stanley Cups, just come back to it and give him another chance to change everything.
"Elhouette please, I am begging you to love me again. Please, just me again? Huh? Please, Elhouette ... Hi-I can't get tired of apologizing to you. Yes, I admit that I am very putangina. My stupid. I have no testicles. Very responsible! But I'm here, asking your forgiveness and asking to take me back. Baby, oh ... P-can I? P-can I ... "
"No return."
"Elhouette ..."
He removed his embrace from her waist and faced her. "You are just a part of my past, Zyd. Goodbye. "
His whole world collapsed when it turned its back on him. There was the cry of his brain to chase the woman but with the words left by the woman he loved even more, Zyd felt, his heart was divided as his hope collapsed that he would be able to bring them back to the way they used to be. .
Nothing. He had no hope at all. He sat on the ground as his gaze just followed it away from him. This is how it hurts ... This is how you feel when the person you love doesn't want you anymore, this is how it hurts when you really love.
He clenched his fist. His shoulder began to shake and whatever he stopped from crying was just because his heart was broken - nothing. She did nothing when her tears fell one after another and she could feel every pain today.
B-why, Elhouette ... Why ...
Heavy rain fell. He read slowly but he didn't care. He just sat on the ground that had turned into mud due to the force of the rain. The woman was no longer in his eyes. Good and it didn't rain. It's okay for him to get sick, he's a man. He was used to the cold. Don't just be the woman he promised himself he wouldn't hurt a second time.
Is he really that far? He gently shook his head and looked at the hand. There's the ring her mother gave Elhouette. It fell when they were in the Hospital and he hid it. He intends to give it back to the woman because she is the real owner. But how is that so? I don't think there is ... He lost.
No, at first there really wasn't. Ever since he hit it, but he regrets it. For fucking sake, God knows! So they weren't able to get into the Playoffs because the woman was too busy with her whole system and affected the whole team. He could not sleep. He is consumed with so much guilt and so much remorse.
But when it's a woman who gives up, it's hard to continue the fight, especially when someone else is having fun with it. She smiled bitterly as the rain and tears mixed in her eyes. Fuck, the pain! He slowly lay down on the wet ground that had now turned to mud. Why can't he accept? Why?
Why Elhouette …
