Aggressive Lover [COMPLETED]

BTH THI PÆD

CHAPTER EIGHT

"HEY, KANINA ka pa tahimik dyaan," biglang sambit ni Star kay Wor.

Instead of answering the question, malalaki ang matang napatitig si Wor sa kaibigan. "Wait. You speak Tagalog?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya rito.

Mahina namang natawa si Star saka tumango. "Been studying. Nakakahiya naman kay Victoria. She tries speaking our mother tongue to properly communicate with us. It's only fair to do the same thing with hers."

Worachet couldn't help but pout. "And now I feel bad for not being able to speak the language."

Star chuckled once again. "Don't be." He messed up his hair. "So going back to my worry a while ago, why are you spacing out lately? Mas lumala pa ata ngayon ah."

Napailing naman siya sa tinuran ng kaibigan. "I was just thinking of something."

"That's pretty obvious. Wanna tell me something that isn't already shown in your face?" nakangiting tanong muli ng lalake.

Wor took a deep breath as he stared at Star. Pinag-iisipan niya kasi kung sasabihin niya sa binata ang nangyari noong kaarawan niya. Pakiramdam niya kasi ay kailangan niya ng tulong ng iba para maresolba ang matagal nang bumabagabag sa isipan niya. P'Star has always been a great friend of mine. I'm pretty sure he won't judge me like that. He sighed and decided to tell his friend his worry.

Nanatiling tahimik ang kausap niya at nang matapos siyang magkwento ay saka napansin ni Wor ang dahan-dahang panlalaki ng mga mata ni Star. It took three minutes—yes, he counted—before he was able to open his mouth. "I ahm... ahm..." Star cleared his throat. "Are... Are you sure that you were with a man?"

Worachet sighed before nodding his head. "I can remember the man's body built, the scent... but not the face."

Saglit pa ulit natahimik si Star. He then heard him blow out a breath. "I'm... ahm... I'm just curious. I mean... I'm pretty sure that you're... y'know... that you like girls." Napakamot ito ng batok. "Then why... Why did you spend your night with... ahm... with a guy?"

Wor sighed once again. Kahit naman siya ay nagtataka. "I don't know. That's what's bugging me too." He looked at Star. "Are you disgusted?"

Napakunot naman ng noo si Star. "Disgusted? Why would I be?"

He shrugged. "I'm pretty sure that what I did wasn't normal—"

"Let me stop you right there," agad na pigil ni Star sa iba pa niyang sasabihin. "Wor, you're my best friend. I think of you as my little brother, and what happened to you doesn't disgust me. I'm just shocked and confused at the moment, but definitely not disgusted." He softly patted his head. "Anyways, about you not remembering the guy, don't pressure yourself. Sooner or later you'll remember him. Plus don't overthink. Kaya mo lang siguro pinoproblema 'yan at kaya ka apektado masyado ay dahil una mo siya. So kalma lang, okay?"

Tumango na lang si Wor bago bumalik sa pagtitig sa kawalan.

Maybe that's really the reason why I badly wanna remember that person. He was my first, I think it's normal for the experience to be memorable.

Muling napabuntong hininga si Worachet. Pilit niyang inalis ang lalakeng sumasakop sa isip niya at nagsubok ibaling sa iba ang atensyon.

Agad namang pumasok sa isip niya ang isa sa mga magiging guro niya para sa taong 'yun. He does seem familiar, I don't know why.

Kahit ang boses ng guro ay pamilyar sa kanya. Hindi lang talaga niya maalala kung saan niya ito nakita.

But maybe the professor was right, I must've seen him around school. Malaki naman ang posibilidad na iyon ang dahilan sapagkat nasa iisang paaralan lang naman sila.

Kinabukasan, saktong katatapos lang ng pangalawa nilang klase para sa araw na iyon ay may biglang naghahanap daw sa kanya.

"Worachet! A pretty lady is looking for you outside the room," imporma ng kaklase niya sa kanya. Sunod-sunod naman ang pang-aasar sa kanya ng iba pang kaklase.

Nagtataka man ay tumayo na siya at tinahak ang daan papalabas ng kwarto. He was greeted by a smiling beautiful woman—a student since she's wearing the same uniform as his. "Hey, BBB—I mean Worachet, right?"

Pilit na itinatago niyang namumula ang mukha niya habang tumatango. She's really pretty, especially when she smiles. "D-Do I know you, Miss?"

The lady's smile grew wider as she offered her hand. "I'm Narae Melody Lee, a fifth-year computer engineering student."

He shyly took her hand and shook it. Her hand is so soft. Wor couldn't help but point out before letting her hand go. "I-I'm Worachet Khankham, a second-year architecture student."

"That's nice, and you're really cute, by the way." The woman was straightforward which took him by surprise. Hindi tuloy niya napigilan ang mas lalong pamumula ng mukha niya. The lady chuckled. "Yep, definitely cute. Anyways, I was just checking on something and it looks like I got the news right. That's really too bad."

Ilang beses napakurap si Wor saka naguguluhang nagtanong sa dalaga. "Umm... what news are you... are you talking about?"

The lady mysteriously smiled. "Just something. So, I better get going now, hmm? Thanks for the time though. See ya around." She waved goodbye and quickly left him standing in front of his classroom.

Ilang saglit pa ulit siyang napakurap bago tuluyang napailing at pumasok sa kwarto. Bigla naman siyang napahinto sa kalagitnaan ng paglalakad.

Did she say her name was Narae? Worachet's eyes widened on sudden realization. He quickly looked in the direction that the lady went in. Is she the same Narae in that club? One of the DAWN that Star was talking about?

Based on her expressions toward him, his assumptions might be true. So she might know who I ended up with that night. I need to talk to her again. Worachet was determined with what he planned to do.

He was in his thoughts when he suddenly felt an arm around his shoulders. Agad niyang inangat ang tingin at saka lang nakampante nang makita kung sino iyon. "At tulala ka na naman," Star pointed out. "So... Narae huh?"

Nanlaki na naman ang mga mata ni Wor nang may maalala. "Wait! You know her! You told me about her before I got drunk." Bigla siyang humarap sa kaibigan. "She's the one who played you."

Star chuckled as he messed up his hair. "Don't add salt to the wound, N'Wor." He chuckled again. "Come on, let's go inside. The next class is about to start." Wor nodded and followed him inside.
