Kismet's Perfect Fiasco

Episode 50

Cygny

Thursday came. Hindi ko alam kung kailan umalis si Hue kagabi. Hindi ko rin alam kung kailan ako nakatulog.

Last night, I was confused. Confused and petrified at the same time. I know that the feeling I felt last night is treacherous. It is clear to me that I will pay a gigantic price if I let it succumb me. So today, I am decided to avoid Hue at all cost. I should not see him again. Guguluhin niya lang ako. Guguluhin niya na naman ang puso ko.

Ngayon ay may pasok ako buong maghapon. Laking pasasalamat ko na lang talaga. Panigurado kasing hindi makakagawa si Hue ng paraan paraguluhin magkita kami ngayong araw. Sigurado akong doon siya maghihintay sa workplace ko. Sinabihan ko na din si Samantha beforehand. I told her to tell him that I'm out of the country.

My first class in Taxation was smooth. Nag-exam kami and I am confident with my answers. Kahit naman kasi na ginulo ako kagabi ni Hue ay nakapag-review na ako these past few weeks. I am always ahead of our topic. Ituturo pa lang ng mga Professors ko ay alam at naaral ko na agad ang mga iyon.

"Miss Cygny, pwede pong pa-picture?" Told by a college student, she's giggling. Hinarang niya ako noong paakyat na ako sa second floor, kung nasaan ang room ko for the second subject. I fight the odds of pinching her chubby cheeks.

I nod at her and smile my brightest. Inakbayan ko siya at saka humarap sa kanyang cell phone. Pinindot niya iyon nang ilang beses. At one moment, I want to stop her. Aba, baka mapuno na ng picture namin ang gallery niya. Nakakaloka.

I am laughing as she shoved her cell phone on her pocket. "Thank you po! Sobrang fan na fan niyo po ako!"

"Thank you, you're so cute." At hindi ko na nga napigilan ang sarili ko. Kinurot ko na ang matataba niyang mga pisngi.

One moments after, we bid our good byes as she headed outside the building. Nakangiti akong umakyat patungong second floor.

My smile fades when I finally reached the second floor. I froze on my spot. I was taken aback while standing on the center of the corridor. Hue is standing right infront of the door of my room. He is leaning against the wall and smiling right at me. He gave me a you-leave-me-with-no-choice look.

Napapikit ako sa inis. Paano niya ito nalaman? Most especially, paano niya nalaman ang room ko? Mariin ko siyang tinignan at iginiya ko ang ulo ko pababa ng floor na ito. Sinenyasan ko siyang sundan ako. Tumango siya nang may ngiting malawak bago naglakad patungo sa akin. Umiirap akong naglakad palabas.

Nang malabas na kami ng building ay hinila ko ang kanyang braso. My grasp is so tight that I can feel the sturdiness of his biceps. Dinala ko siya doon sa likod ng building kung saan walang mga tao. Kung saan walang makakakita sa amin. I'm really pissed to make a scene. The last thing I want is for everyone to see me yelling at this obnoxious guy.

"Are you dumb?" I glare. "Tanga ka ba para hindi mo maintindihan na iniiwasan kita? Na ayaw kitang makausap?" I crease my forehead. "O gusto mo pa bang ipaintindi ko 'yon diyan sa maliit mong utak?" I told him, my voice is cold. I am pointing my finger on his head.

I am really fuming right now. Ang kapal ng mukha niya. How come he still has the guts to intrude further my privacy? How come he acts so cool about this when he already knows that we are, clearly, in no speaking terms? How come he is so clueless to know that I really don't want to see him ever again?
