Playful Smile

24.She's Back

Minah's POV

Nandito ako sa campus, palakad lakad lang sa kung saan saan.

I just noticed something.

Parang may bago? Hindi ko alam kung ano. Everything was normal simula kaninang umaga parang may kakaiba.

Yung mga titig nila sakin, nawala na, habang naglalakad ako sa hallway ng campus tinitingnan ko lang yung mga students and seems like everyone has own topics.

Si Veron din hindi ko pa nakikita kanina except syimpre sa classes namin, pero hindi niya pa ko na gugulo.

"Ay! Sorry." Napatingin ako sa nakabunggo sakin. Tamang tama si Ace.

"Uy! alam mo ba kung nasan si Red?" I asked.

"Sa green house." He said at tumakbo na palayo sakin. Anong problema non?

Naglalakad ako papuntang green house.

"Uy Minah!" Napatingin ako sa gilid when I heard someone called my name over there.

Nakita ko naman yung girl from the coffee shop. Yung weird girl na mahilig mag predict, abot tenga yung ngiti niya.

She raised her right hand, symbol of saying hi, I did it too.

"She's coming!" She shouted na nag pakunot ng noo ko, pero hindi ko na pinakinggan yung sinabi niya.

I just smiled. "I need to go."  I shouted na tamang tama lang sa layo niya.

Naglakad na ulit ako papuntang green house.

~~~~

Bubuksan ko na sana yung pinto nang bigla itong bumukas and that is when I saw Red.

He smile.

"Oh Demi? Na-miss mo agad ako?" He said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes.

"Dream on." I said.

She smirked.

"Eh ba't ka pala pumunta dito?" He asked.

Napaisip ako, bakit nga ba? Hindi ko rin alam eh.

"A-e--Ano kasi--"

He laughs.

"Wag ka nang mag palusot, I got you." He said and smirk.

"Tsk! Ewan. Makaalis na nga." Tumalikod na ko, but then I got surprised when he immediately grab my left hand.

"Uy! Joke lang 'to naman." He said.
Inakbayan niya naman ako bigla.

"Tara sa cafeteria?" He asked.

I looked at him, and I think it was a wrong move, sobrang lapit ng mukha namin sa isa't isa.

So i pushed him.

"Aray! Grabe ka pre ah." He said habang nakahawak sa dibdib niya.

"Seriously? Cafeteria? Nang naka-akbay ka sakin? Your fans eyes is on me." I said with crossed arm.

Bigla naman siyang kumamot sa ulo niya.

"Ba't ba kasi ang dami kong fans." He said in a sarcasm way.

I rolled my eyes.

"Yabang niya oh." I said sabay kurot sa tagiliran niya.

"Demi ha? Nakakadalawa ka na." He said habang diniduro pa ko.

"Bakit? Anong gagawin mo? Sasapakin mo ko?" I said with full of courage. The eff? Ano daw courage?

He smile at umaktong nag iisip.

"I don't hurt girls, so let's go." He said at inakbayan na ulit ako. Just so you know. Lahat ng tao nakakasakit.

~~~~

Naglalakad na kami sa hallway, when someone called Red, so napahinto kami, and we saw Kyle and Angelo running to our direction.

"Oh?" Red asked. Nang makalapit na sila Angelo sa'min.

Nagtinginan naman sila Kyle at Angelo at nag ngitian. Weird.

"Problema niyo?" I asked curiously.

"Red--"

"Red?!" Napatingin kami sa babaeng sumigaw.

Dali dali siyang tumakbo papalapit kay Red. Nang makalapit na siya, he hugged Red, kumalas din naman siya.

"Ilong! How I miss you so much." The girl said, habang pini-pinch yung nose ni Red. Ilong?

"Anghel?" Red said, with a mix emotion, Happy but then on shock. Of course as well as me SHOCK. I'm clueless.

"Yes, It's me." Anghel? Siya ba yung Angela?

"Gel? Ba't di mo sinabing babalik ka na dito?" Red said with full of smile, smile i never saw, Smile that he never gave to me. The way he smile at Angela, It's different.

"Obviously, I wanted to surprise you, and I guess I did." She said happily.

Hinampas niya si Angela pero syimpre mahina lang.

"You really did." He said then again he hugged Angela.

Nagulat ako nang umakbay sakin si Angelo.

Angelo did a fake cough.

Na nag paagaw ng atensiyon nila Red and Angela I guess?

"So Angela, We want you to meet Minah." Angelo said.

Angela looked at me then smiled.

"Oh, hello Minah, I'm Angela." She said. Nilahad niya yung kamay niya so we did a shake hands.

"So ahhmm..? Tara muna Minah? Let's give Gela and Red a time for each other." Kyle said.

Tumingin naman ako kay Red. I was expecting na he will said 'No it's okay. You can stay with us.'
But he didn't.

So I gave them a fake smile.

"Actually may gagawin din naman ako eh, so I better go." I said.

"K see you around." Red simply said.

Naglakad na ko palayo.

"Nice to meet you!" I heard Angela shouted, but I just pretend I didn't heard it.
