A Wish To The Sunset

Chapter 5

Angry

He left me hanging with my mind clouded with questions that day when he brought me to the school clinic. And soon as he left me my brother entered with a browse raised, a clinched jaw and an angry eyes. He scolded me that day and said about my attitude being too nosy about the things that doesn't involved me. We aren't in a good terms to the point that he left me this morning.

I closed our double doors and bid my goodbye to the guards.

I decided to wait for any jeepney so I can go to school. I went outside of our village and tried to wait but thirty minutes already passed yet I can't see any jeepney. Tumingin ako sa kalangitan, it's Sunny day. There's no trace of gloomy in the skies, our village is pretty cool for every houses here has trees outside of their gates. Like a famous resort or park.

I was about to go back to tell our guards if he can help me where I can wait a jeep when a Porsche suddenly stop in front of me. 

“Miss Belle? Wanna have a ride?”

Nanlalaki ang mga mata ko sa lalaking nagbukas ng bintana ng isang mamahaling kotse. Wait— it's  Mr. Park. Sophie's classmate.

I hesitated but I know if another thirty minutes will pass I will be really late. He went out of his car and opened the passenger seat. Inilahad niya ang kamay niya na tila pinapapasok na ako.

I didn't refused kasi naman ito na oh! It's a sign na di ako mali-late.

“Put your seat belt on please”

Wika nito sa isang matigas na ingles. Ang gara ng sasakyan niya, nakita ko sa harap ang nag-iisang design ng kanyang kotse. Kumunot ang noo ko, isa itong figurine ng hello kitty. Pink na pink ang color.

“I know you're wondering why a hello kitty figurine is there. That's because my little sister bought that and put that there and said that it's magic. I won't miss her once I will see that everyday. ”

He chuckled and looked at me trough the rearview mirror.

“So where is she right now?”

I asked him. Looking intently and his chinky eyes.

“She's in Korea, with my mom. My mom and dad got separated when I was in my twelve grade. So dad decided to go back here and he brought me with him. We have business here too, so it's a bunos I guess? So basically I am half Filipino and half Korean. I'm Kim Ho Park and you are?”

Tanong nito pagkatapos ng mga sinabi. Ngumiti pa ito pagkatapos magtanong.

“Uhm, Belle Akira Villacortez?”

I am not sure if I should tell my name to him but still he help me this morning so I guess it's not that bad.

“By the way why did you waited there awhile ago?”

He asked. I told him that I and brother had a misunderstanding and he just nodded. Marami pa kaming pinag-usapan sa loob ng sasakyan niya hanggang sa makarating kami sa school. At malayo pa lang kami may nakikita na akong commotion. Tila nagkakagulo. Pero ang pinagtataka ko, Naka line up lahat ng mga guards.

“The director is here, we don't have class. I need to left you here, okay? I have some things to do pa kasi, I'm sorry next time I'll treat you when I have free time.”

He opened the door for me again.

“No it's okay Mr. Park, it's a big help na nakisakay ako sa kotse mo—

“Kim na lang please. ”

Putol nito sa sasabihin ko.

Tumango ito at ngumiti ng pagkatamis-tamis at tumalikod na.

Tatalikod na sana ako at aalis na ng parking area when a car suddenly hit me.

Ramdam ko ang sakit ng ulo ko ng gumulong ako, ramdam kong nanlamig bigla ang katawan ko. Ang huli ko lamang nakita ay ang mga estudyanteng nag takbuhan papunta sa'kin at ang babaeng maarte ng masama ang tingin sa'kin. But I'm not really sure? Kasi mabilis na nilamon ng dilim ang paningin ko.

“Relax okay?! She's not dead. Hays! She took all of my free time. Argh! I hate this dumb girl!”

A voice of woman said that exageratedly.
So what does she mean? Na bobo ako? Excuse me? Nasa parking area siya ng scho so dapat magdahan-dahan siya no. Siya ang bobo, maarte, suplada sarap supalpalin.

“Claudine it's not her fault Ikaw tong hindi marunong magdahan-dahan. ”

Is that Alxendria's voice?
Claudine? Angelus First love? Another interaction na naman ba ito?

Hays.

Narinig kong bumukas ang pintuan at ang boses ng nag-papanic kong kuya. At ang tinig ng galit din na Angelus narinig ko pang sinabi niyang “Why it has to be her again?!” But I'm too daze to open my eyes and react on that. Wala akong nagawa nang muli akong nilamon ng antok
