Lie To Me

Chapter 30: 30

Is that pity I am seeing in their eyes?

I walked out. I walk straight to the tents. I went inside where I was assigned and locked myself there. I

just cried and cried and no one dared to enter.

At eight o'clock I was forced to go outside because of hunger. I'm the only one in the mess hall,

everyone is in the beach front for the bonfire and fire dance later.

"Are you going to eat now, Ma'am?" Kuya Roy asked me. I nodded.

"I slept in the tent." I reasoned out.

He prepared food for me and accompanied me.

"I saw you on the rocks earlier, Ma'am, to where you drowned before." He said.

"Are you nervous that I might jump again?" I said jokingly.

He shook his head. "No, Ma'am. I saw Sir Russel following you. And when I saw you crying, I

immediately left, I thought you two have something to talk in private." He said.

I nodded and took a deep breath. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Please don't mention it to Ricky." I asked. It nodded.

"You know, Ma'am I can't understand why you and Sir Russel broke up. It looks like you still love each

other very much." He said. I looked up.

I want to laugh.

"That night you drowned; I saw how scared Sir Russel was. He also jumped into the sea to save you,

but I got you first." He said.

I don’t want to hear but I can’t leave. I didn't stop him either, I just let him talk.

"Then he started crying in the boat when we were taking you to the hospital. I really can't understand

Ma'am why he kept on saying sorry to you and he didn't let go of your hand until an ambulance came to

rush you to the hospital.”

"Maybe he's just guilty because he's at fault." I said.

"I caught her kissing her ex, I ran because I was hurt. He chased me so I hid in the rock. But he found

me, that's when I became desperate to climb the big rock and slipped. Luckily, you were there to save

me, if you weren’t there, I might have been dead for a year now,” I said.

He shook his head.

"Is that so, Ma'am? I didn't think that's what happened." He said. “I can see that he loved you and until

now, I can see that in his eyes,” he said again.

I just smiled and stopped talking.

After eating, he told me sit down by the bonfire. Everyone was there but I preferred to refuse. I was

there again in the hammock position, just staring at them as memories flashes back before my eyes.

"Where's Russel?" I asked Reysa. He was sitting on the sand and watching the f-fire dance.

"I don't know. Maybe on the washroom.?" She said.

I just nodded at her and left. I went to the washroom to look for him, but he wasn’t there.

"Where is he?" I asked myself.

I walked back to the beach front as I passed a group. I know them. But I didn't notice that they were

also here. We have a lot of joiners and it's hard to identify who they are.

I look at them, recognizing each. Suddenly my heart pounded without finding what I was looking for. I

immediately looked around to see if it was there. But there is none. I can't find her.
