Pain In My Heart

Chapter 17

I left the room laughing. He was leaning against the wall and scratching his forehead because of the amount of people looking at him. He didn't really want the attention. He doesn't want to be noticed. He straightened up when he saw me.

"Let's go?" Tanong niya nang makalapit ako sa kaniya.

He put his arm on my shoulder and led me to the cafeteria but when we were in front of the cafeteria he stopped and faced me. I looked at him confused.

"Okay lang ba sa'yo kung sa labas na tayo kumain?" Tanong niya.

Napaisip ako pero nasa kaniya pa 'rin ang paningin ko.

"Pwede bang...kasama sila Bri?" Pagpapaalam ko.

"Of course. Balak ko 'din silang isama." Sabi niya at lumiko na sa ibang daan habang ako naman ay nag-message kila Sav kung break time ba nila at buti na lang ay nagka-sabay kami kaya ngayon ay hinihintay namin sila sa gate.

When they arrived we immediately went straight to a coffee shop, I mean, at Starbucks. We sat in the vacant seat.

I was next to Adler and we were facing Sav, Bri and Vince. They really meant that Adler and I were the only ones on one side. I heard that earlier while we were looking for a seat, they thought maybe I didn't hear.

"Ano pala balak niyo sa sembreak?" Tanong ni Bri habang sumisipsip ng inorder niyang frappe.

"Wala, magta-training lang." Sagot ni Vince.

"Tara gala tayo," Pag-aya ni Bri.

"Bobo nito. Kakasabi lang na may training, eh," Sabi at walang ganang tinutusok-tusok 'yung inorder niyang cake. Mukhang matamlay siya ngayon.

I think she has a problem. I'm gonna ask her later.

Maya-maya nagpaalam na pupunta ng restroom si Bri , may kumausap naman kay Vince na isang fan dahil sa paglalaro ng volleyball, si Adler ay lumabas ng shop dahil may tumawag sa kaniya sa cellphone.

Kami lang ang naiwan ni Sav dito. Tumayo ako at umupo sa dating pwesto ni Bri.

"Okay ka lang?" Tanong ko at tinignan siya.

Nakayuko lang siya at pinaglalaruan ang maliliit na natira sa pagkain niya. Ang itsura niya ay parang bored na bored sa mundo pero napakarami naman talagang problema.

"Tingin mo?" She looked at me with sad but with bored eyes.

"Ano nga?" Pagpipilit ko.

I get upset quickly when they keep a secret but in what I do now, I feel guilty.

"Ano kasi..." Parang nag-aalangan ngunit nagtatakang aniya.

"Is it about him?" Tanong ko na agad. Tinutukoy ko ang lalaking nangungulit sa kaniya this past few days.

I was also surprised because Sav is the kind of woman you can't talk to if you're not close. I wondered how she could bear that man. By the way, I want to know more about him. I don't even know his name.

"I think so," Nagkibit-balikat siya.

"Anong nangyari?" Tanong ko.
