Mindlessly walking at the coridor of Architecture Department , processing everything that happened awhile ago. Just what? See her in her office? Akala niya ba tanga ako para sumunod sa sinasabi niya? I did not expect to hear it coming exactly from her mouth if she'll take my feelings into account.
"Can i talk to you for a minute?"
I was a bit stunned when I saw Miss Soline standing infrot of me. I think i know why she's here. It's been a week though simula ng umalis si Rajim papuntang Greece.
"Do you know where she is?" she said with hope evident in her eyes. Ang swerte ni Rajim kay Miss Sol sa totoo lang. Ramdam ko na mahal niya yung kaibigan namin.
"Miss wala na po kaming balita kay Rajim matapos niya umalis, pasensya na po." I lied. Kailangan ko magsinungaling, para rin naman sakanya yan eh.
Napatango lang ito at bagsak ang balikat na tumalikod sakin. I can't help but to sigh after remembering what happened to them. Saksi ako sa pagmamahalan nila na sinira ni Jerry na anak ng dyablo.
I saw Miss Soline's vulnerable side that i'd never thought na makikita ko. It was painful. Yan rin ang dahilan ng pagiisip ko, ayoko ma experience yung ganun. Ang ganun ka sakit na pagmamahal. Ayokong dumating sa punto na may mangiiwan at maiiwan sa ere.
Some may says that it's not love if it's hurting you but for me at some instances, hurt is part of the process of love. You wouldn't know you love the person if it's not hurting you, to the point that you let yourself be in that kind of state.
I walked my way to the auditorium to fix the curtains inside. My adviser was doing me a favor, i can't just decline her tho.
Napakamot ako sa kilay ng makita ang taas nun, pero sobrang taas talaga. I looked for chairs para maabot ko yung kurtina.
Goodness, why would I be the one to change this curtains, di man lang ako binigyan ng kasama.
I was drown with my thoughts while looking up when my body was acting on its own, screw this off fuck nawawala ako sa balanse.
My heart was beating loudly when i feel like the floor was grabbing my body. I closed my eyes waiting to fall.
I opened my eyes when i felt a soft body hitting on my system. Nakakunot ang mga tingin nito sakin habang hawak hawak ako sa bewang. Where did she put her strength? It was a undeniably high because i piled the chairs.
"When are you going to stay like that? Get off me."
Napagtanto ko naman ang sinabi nito at dali daling tumayo. Gosh nakakahiya. I hold my chest , my heart is beating rapidly damn. Kumalma ka naman.
"Why are you using the chairs when we have ladder outside? I didn't know you're this stupid Castro."
I just mentally rolled my eyes. As if naman alam ko at hello wala kaya yung ladder kanina. Baka nga pagdating niya pa dumating yan.
"What are you doing here?" i said while arranging the chairs to its place. When i looked at her, she just raised her eyebrows.
"Am i not allowed to be here?" I avoid her stares , fuck ramdam ko yung titig niya sa kaluluwa ko tangina.
"I'm just asking." walang ganang sabi ko rito at inayos yung projector sa harap. Mukhang may magmemeeting ata dito base narin sa suot ni Miss Alex.
"You, why are you here." I glanced at her side when she said those words while opening her laptop.
"Inutusan ako ng adviser ko." Di'ko nalang pinansin ang presensya nito at nagfocus nalang sa pagayos ng projector.
Ilang minuto ko pa ito inayos bago nagsimulang maglakad paalis. I could feel her stares in my peripheral vision.
Nilingon ko naman ito but she instantly looked away. I could even see her gulped. So unusual. I tilt my head and just continued walking out of the auditorium
I was munching my burger while driving pauwi nang maaninag ko si Keisha sa labas ng hotel. May kausap ito sa bintana ng sasakyan sa harap niya pero di'ko maaninag kung sino iyon.
Umalis na yung kotse at nakangiting mukha ni Keisha yung nakita ko. Ah baka boyfriend niya yun, di'ko pa nakikita boyfriend nun potek di man lang nag introduce.
"Are you ready? I already put your skincare in the bag"
Napalingon ako dahil sa boses ni Caellum, weekend kasi tom so napagisipan nitong kulangot na magpunta raw kami sa rest house ko sa laguna.
"Kung makadala ka ng maleta jan kala mo talaga isang taon tayong magbabaksayon."
natatawang saad ko habang tinutupi ang mga v-neck shirt niya.
"These are mainly your clothes and stuffs. I only bring 5 pairs with me." he said na ikinatigil ko.
"You already packed my belongings?." isang tango lang ang tinugon nito bago nilagay yung mga damit na tinupi ko sa bag niya.
"Do you want to eat something? It would be a long ride." napatingin ako sakanya sa gilid ko habang nagmamaneho ito. Naka simpleng pambahay na v-neck white shirt at a black short lang ito habang naka sun glasses.
Ilang minuto pa ay nagdrivethru nalang kami sa McDo. Ewan ko ba sa isang to kanina pa nakangiti habang ngumunguya.
I was the one feeding his ass dahil nagmamaneho siya at itong tukmol na'to parang aso kakangiti, nasisirain na ata.
"Fries please." ayan nanaman. Kanina pa yan fries nang fries, palibhasa kasi mukha siyang potato.
"Why are you glaring? Feed me up." natatawang sambit nito na ikinaikot ng mata ko. The nerve with this guy.
Humalagpak ako sa tawa nang mabilaukan ito. " yan patay gutom ka kasi, kala mo mauubusan ng pagkain." i said while supressing my smiles. Ang epic ng mukha niya.
"You're feeding me too much." masama ang tingin nito sakin na mas lalong ikinatawa ko. Kasalanan ko bang lamon nang lamon lang siya sa pinapakain ko.
"Ouh ito holy water inomin mo." sabi ko tsaka inabot yung tubig sakanya. Pero yung tukmol tiningnan lang ito di man lang tinanggap.
I lean closer to him at nilapit ang baso sa bibig nito. A smile creeped in the corner of his lips bago ito uminom. Arte arte naghihintay pa talagang ako yung magpainom sakanya.
Nagtatakang napatingin ako sa resort nang makita ang maraming tao sa loob. What the hell? Bakit andaming tao dito?
Inopen ko muna ang cp ko at napatampal sa noo nang mabasa ko ang text ni Rico. Ba't ngayon ko lang to nabasa. May birthday party raw kasi na nag occupy ng resort.
Nginitian lang ako ni Caellum bago niya bitbitin yung bag at maleta namin. We don't have a choice but to stay here. Alangan namang paalisin ko eh bata yung nagbibirthday.
"Ma'am Cass welcome po, hello sir welcome po!" nakangiting sambit ng caretaker nitong resort. Sa likod kami dumaan para di madisturbo yung nasa harapan na nagcecelebrate ngayon.
"Ako na po magdadala niyan sir." sabi nitong lalaking kakarating lang mukhang trabahante rin dito.
"No, it's fine. I can handle it." seryosong sambit ni Caellum dito bago ako hinila palapit sakanya na ikinalingon ko.
Salubong ang kilay nito habang nakatingin
sa lalaki sa harap ko. Kaya naman ay kinurot ko ng bahagya ang gilid nito na ikinalingon nito sakin.
"Anong attitude yun ha." i said while staring at him. Nakapasok na kami sa kwarto.
"Nothing." sambit nito sakin habang inoopen yung maleta. Kita mo tong lalaking to sira na ang utak.
Napatingin naman ako sa pigura nito habang dala ang bag niya at lumipat sa katabing kwarto ko. Hindi naman pwedeng magsama kami sa iisang kwarto no, lalaki parin siya although may tiwala naman ako sakanya.
Napahiga ako sa kama at napabuntong hininga. Naalala ko yung nangyare sa Auditorium. I mentally cussed when her face constantly appeared in my piled up thoughts. Damn it.
