The Secret's Magic

Kabanata 27

I'm busy reviewing for our 2nd quiz on one of our majors when I heard my phone ringing. I silently curse because the sound of my phone caused others to get distracted.

Tanga tanga, Calla! Bakit nakalimutan kong i-silent 'tong cellphone ko bago pumasok ng Library?

"Sorry..." Nahihiya 'kong bulong sa mga malalapit sa akin.

They genuinely smiled at me and continue doing their things.

Sinagot ko 'yung tawag agad-agad even without the knowledge who's calling. 

"Hello," Medyo naiirita 'kong sabi. Kung sino ka man humanda ka sa akin mamaya. Broken na nga 'yung tao mapapahiya at mapapagalitan pa ng Librarian? Gaguhan! 

"Ano ba?" Tanong ko ulit nang walang sumasagot. My eyebrows are colliding as I look at my screen to see who's calling. Mas lalo akong nag taka when I saw an unregistered number on my screen. "Hello? Who's this?"

I heard a sigh on the other line. "It's me,"

My fist turn into a ball when I recognized the voice from the other line. Despise and abhor, that's exactly how I can explain through verbal words my feelings towards him. 

He caused too much stumbling blocks due to his selfishness and egotistical. And even how much he deny or whatever reason he has, the damage he did is beyond madness.

"I'm hanging-"

"No Calla please! Please...I want to talk to you."

"Look, Laurence. I'm honestly mad at you. So please...pwede bang tantanan mo ako?" Gustuhin ko mang sigawan siya ay hindi ko magawa.

I'm considering the fact that I am inside of the Library. But given a chance to scold and voice out my wrath towards this man, I would grab it with no hesitations.

"Calla naman..."

"Bye."

I ended the call right away bago pa siya makapag salita ulit. You are taking me so lightly, Laurence.

Oo nga at minahal kita noon. Heck! I even become your mistress. But our pass together wont justify what you did.

Alam kong mas malaki ang kasalanan ko kaysa sayo, pero dahil sayo nasira lahat ng ganon kabilis.

After that call I tried to continue studying again. I'm really making this time productive lalo na't wala sila Mary, Rod, at Jam na kasama ko ngayon.

Mary's with Mark, helping him prepare his stuff for the Athletic Meet. Gustong gustong sumama 'nung dalawa sa kanya, kaya I encourage them to go too. As far as I know, paalis na silang mamayang alas sais papuntang Pangasinan.

Not because I am avoiding to cross path with Almario means that they need to do it as well. I understand that the Stallions are still their friends. 

Ayokong ako ang maging dahilan para hindi sila magkita kita.

The school is really preparing to show their support to the whole MMSU team. Hindi lang para sa football team ng school, kundi para sa lahat ng kasali for this season of the Regional Athletic Meet. 

Sobra sobra 'yung pag pipigil 'kong puntahan sila to extend my support, at para na rin ma good luck sila. Pero hindi pwede.

Gaya ng dati, tatanaw nalang ako mula sa malayo. Whispering all my unsaid messages to him, and give my one hundred support.
