His Sassy Queen

Chapter 23

After that day she turned off her phone, she shut down everyone in her life and sat inside her condo wala siyang ibang ibang ginawa kung hindi ang tumunganga at umiyak, it was not her hindi siya ganito but after she let Cloud enter her world she felt so desperate and weak. Pinahid niya ang luha mula sa kanyang pisngi at tumayo she stepped on a broken glass but it doesn't sting at all hinayaan niya lang iyon at nag patuloy na nag lakad, akala niya ay may pag asa pa na gumaling siya that maybe someday she will be healed and she expect for that to happen because Cloud came ngunit nag kamali siya Cloud would only broke her just like everyone around her.

Narinig nanaman niya ang katoko mula sa labas ng kanyang Condo, it's Cloud ngunit hindi niya ito pinansin at patuloy na tumungo sa kusina upang kumuha ng inumin she immediately change her door key dahil alam niyang pupunta doon si Cloud at mag paliwanag nanaman ng kasinungalingan niya.

"Diane please, open the door."

Nag mamakaawang wika nito ngunit tila bingi siya sa lahat ng hinaing nito, she don't feel any physical pain but emotionally? She is drain no one can judge her pain.

"Sir bawal po kayo dito, kami ho ang mawawalan ng trabaho kapag hindi kayo umalis."

"Please just, I just need to talk to her she is sick can't you just open the door for me."

Napakamot na kang sa ulo ang guard bakas ang frustration sa mukha nito.

"Sir si Ms. Lopez na ho ang nag sabi na huwag na kayong papasukin dito, ewan ko ba kung bakit ang galing niyong lumusot tayo na po bawal na ho kayo dito."

Cloud couldn't do anything but to leave the premises without getting to explain his side. Nahiga si Diane sa kama at tumingin sa kawalan her eyes felt so heavy, inaantok nanaman siya mag iisang linggo na siyang ganito.

"Nagugutom na ako..." Mahina niyang bulong ubos na ang stock niya na mga pag kain kaya't no choice siya kung hindi ang lumabas ngunit tila hinele siya ng antok.

"Will you marry me Eliza?"

Her eyes watered as she nods her head in happiness while looking at Marcus kneeling infront of her, after years of waiting she's finally getting married to the man she love. at first her relationship with Marcus is also an arrange marriage that she started to rebel against her father and mither but eventually she fell in love harder than she think. Masayang tumayo si Marcus at mahigpit siyang niyakap then he cupped her face kissing her lips.

"I love you Eliza, thank God you said yes!"

kahit naman na arrange marriage sila ay pinangarap niya ang ganitong proposal, sinong babae ba ang hindi it was romantic and sweet and she is one of them.

"why wouldn't? I Love you too so much Marcus!" they shared a kiss again.

napatingin si Diane sa malaking diamond ring na nakasuot sa kanyang daliri she smile and in tears jumping so happily. Kaarawan ngayon ni Marcus a month from now is their wedding day so she decided to bake a cake for him, takagang pinagpuyatan niya ang cake na iyon para sa binata napatingin siya sa daliring tadtad ng band aid at mahinang natawa. She took out her key opening the door by herself, alam niyang narito sa bahay nila si Marcus dahil exam week ngayon at sigurado siyang nag aaral ito ngayon he is graduating taking the course of medicine.

nag lakad siya papasok at nilapag ang purse sa sofa she then walk towards their room smiling happily talagang sa mansion pa siya nag tungo upang mag bake dahil kung makikita iyon ni Marcus ay hindi na magiging surprise ito. She push the door open and was about to greet the man of her life but she was greeted by pain of seeing him naked and having s*x with another woman.

"E-eliza..." Marcus said stuttering. Mabilis itong tumayo at nag suot ng shirt habang ang babae nito ay nanatiling nakahiga sa kama at tila siyang siya sa nakikita. "Look Eli, I can explain let me—"

Hindi na niya pinatapos ang sasabihin pa nito dahil malakas niya itong sinampal she then walk past him and slammed the cake on the woman's face.

"Mga hayup kayo! Damn you Marcus, bakit? isang buwan na lang hayup ka hindi mo ba matiis yang t**i mo!"

Marcus couldn't utter a word as he stand there feeling all guilty, nag martya palabas si Diane na mabilis naman na sinundan ng binata Marcus hold her wrist pulling her to him but then she gave him a slapped.

"How could you do this Marcus?" umiiyak niyang tanong. "S-sabi mo she was nothing! sabi mo wala akong dapat pag selosan! sabi mo kaibigan mo lang siya! How could you do this to me?!"

"Believe me Eli, I-I tried so hard to resist but it's been so long I'm a man I have my needs."

Napayuko na lang si Eliza at mapaklang natawa malakas niyang hinaltak ang kamay at humakbang paatras. She then took off her engagement ring and drop it on the floor.

"Go on be with her, let's call this f*****g wedding off!"

Habol ni Diane ang hininga ng magising sa masamang panaginip she dream of it again after years then Cloud's face cross her mind.

Do you get de javu?

she sighed and brush her hair in annoyance, umaga na pala mabilis siyang tumayo at pumasok sa banyo she took a quick bath first then bandaging her foot next tapos ay lumabas na siya she wore a very comfortable clothes dahil naasiwa siya then she left her Condo calling for Jude to clean her mess, ang isang phone niya ang ginamit she left her primary phone at her Condo.

"Diane!"

Diane sighed in annoyance she put her sunglasses on and ignore Cloud completely.

"Please can we talk? let me explain."

ngunit hindi niya ito pinansin at nag patuloy sa pag lalakad tungo sa kanyang sasakyan.

"Babe please let me explain."

mahigpit na niyakap ni Cloud ang kanyang likuran making her unable to move, she sighed in annoyance trying to calm herself down.

"Let me go," mahina pero mariin niyang bulong. "Let me go or else I'll kill you."

"Kill me then, I will let tou just please let me explain."

Diane chuckled mockingly what can an explanation do?

"Why did you asked me out?"

Cloud slowly let go of her humarap siya dito, mahigpit na hinawakan ni Cloud ang kanyang mga kamay na tila naka depende doon ang buhay niya.

"Because I like you."

Diane smile mischievously, he liker her?

"Crap," She whispered. "You asked me out because you feel challenge, I know what exactly you want. You are bored and you want to be challenge and you see me as a piece of game."

"Hindi totoo yan! I asked you out because I cared for you, because I-I Love you Diane."

Diane felt her heart tump but she refuse to believe him anymore.

"You don't, dahil kung mahal mo ako hind ka mag sisinungaling you wouldn't let someone you love cry because you lied to them. I see your Totga came back and I'm happy for you, but please leave me out of your stupid game because I won't be nice to you and your little Blue. I am Diane Elizabeth Lopez a heiress and what was she again? oh yeah a waitress."

malakas niyang kinalas ang pag kakahawak nito sa kanya at nag lakad palapit sa kanyang sasakyan, she hop in and leave without looking back at Cloud hindi siya magiging mahina sa mata nilang lahat. Tinungo niya ang mansion ng magulang she will talk to her father and asked him to call of the wedding whatever it takes.

"My Lady, is everything okay?" bungad sa kanya ni Jude ng makita siya nitong papasok.

"Everything is extravagantly marvelous," Sarcastic niyang wika. "Nasaan ang tatay ko?"

"Nasa study room."

Diane lead her way to the study room as Jude follows her behind walang katok katok na binuksan niya ang pinto at pumasok sa loob.

"Good morning father!"

Hindi ito tumingin sa kanya bagkus ay nag patuloy ito sa ginagawa, she drop herself on the sofa humming comfortably.

"I want you to call the wedding off."

"What?"

umayos ng upo si Diane at pinag siklop ang mga kamay, tumingin siya sa mata mg mata na tila nabigla sa kanyang sinabi.

"I want the wedding off."

"Why? Is everything alright?"

Agad na natigilan si Diane sa tanong ng kanyang ama, her hurt tump so fast upon looking at her father. Ni minsan ay hindi ito nag tanong kung ayos lang ba siya o nag tanong ng mga bagay bagay. Her eyes watered upon hearing that but she choose to strengthen her chest she immediately look away balling her hand into fist.

"Why would you even ask? I want to leave the Philippines as soon as possible, I don't want to get married! I don't want you controlling my life!"

mabilis siyang tumayo at lalabas na sana ng muling mag salita ang kanyang ama.

"Do whatever you want but you can't leave the Philippines, I will stop everything the wedding I won't control your life in One condition."

Napako si Diane sa kanyang kinatatayuan hindi makapaniwala sa kanyang naririnig, the great Arthur Lopez is saying those words?

"Move back in here and you are free."

----

Binulabog ng media ang kanyang nananahimik na buhay ng i-atras ni Arthur ang kanyang kasal, she felt relieved that her father agreed to her request but now she is moving back to their mansion.

"Ms Lopez totoo ba ang balitang hindi na matutuloy ang kasal mo kay Cloud Montemayor? mayroon bang dahilan?"

"Marami ang nakakita na nag simula na kayong mag date, may balita din na naging kayo na bago pa man ang dapat na kasal anong masasabi niyo dito?"

"May dahilan ba ang pag hihiwalay niyo ni Cloud Montemayor?"

Diane sighed, huminto siya sa pag lalakad at tumingin sa Camera.

"Cloud and I didn't have any relationship at all, we became friends at first but that's all. I ask my father to call off the wedding because I'm a bit old fashioned, I don't want to marry someone I don't love."

Hindi na niya pinansin ang mga ito at nag patuloy na nag lakad papasok sa kanyang Condo she decided to move out today, hindi siya makatagal sa Condo na ito all she could think of is Cloud and how much he betrayed her. Napahawak siya sa dibdib ng makapasok sa loob, her legs wobble napaupo na lang siya sa sahig.

"I'm sorry baby, Mommy is stressing you out."

hindi na niya namalayan na tumutulo na ang kanyang luha, Cloud took a big part of her heart to him but she will never let her destroy her. Mariin niyang pinahid ang luha at muling tumayo, she will never let them see her weak side again.

"I am Diane Elizabeth Lopez and I will never let anyone hurt me or my baby."

Mag sama sila ni Blue he mind said I still have the biggest tramp card against Cloud Montemayor, napahawak siya sa tiyan na medyo nagiging halata na ang pag laki. Ayaw niya sanang pumayag na bumalik sa Mansion ngunit kung hindi naman siya papayag ay sigurado siya na hindi siya makakaiwas sa ama, mas mabuti na din ito kaysa makipag patintero sa ama. Agad niyang kinuha ang cellphone ng tumunog iyon it was an unknown number still she answered it.

"This is Blue, puwede ba tayong mag usap?"

DIANE sat infront of the woman who she hates the most now ngunit hindi niya pinapakita na apektado siya sa presensya nito.

"Anong kailangan mo?"

hindi ito nag salita and Diane being impatient she questioned her again.

"I don't have all day to waste for you Ms, Zubuni."

Blue gave her a smile.

"You started your investigation already, I see."

Diane chuckled, she took a sip to her frappe and nodded.

"I have money to spent, hindi ko lang alam sayo."

"I just want to Thank you for calling off the wedding, sinusubukan naming ayusin ni Cloud ang relasyon namin."

"Congratulations then."

Agad na natigilan si Blue dahil tila wala lang sa kanya ang sinabi nito.

"Sa tingin mo masasaktan mo ako sa ganyang balita mo? I watch my Ex-fiancee f**k his side chick nothing could hurt me anymore. I want to ask you a question Blue?"

Blue gave her a smile and nodded.

"Go on."

"What's your purpose telling me that crap?"

"I just want to say thank you for giving a way for me and—"

Diane laughed making her stop. "A what? Did you just thank me for the things I would never do? I will never give you two a way because I was never a hindrance, You could have him but are you sure he still want you? He is begging me take him back saying how much he loves me, but of course I rejected him. Ayoko ng may kahati lalo't hindi ko ka level ang humahati, I'm not on your level Blue wake up you can never defeat a Queen."
