I Love You So Bad

Chapter 8

Aizhel's POV

"Aiz teka...Aiz.."

Kunwari wala akong narinig.
Kunwari galit ako sa kanya. Pero syempre kunwari lang. The fact is hindi talaga ako galit mas nangingibabaw pa nga ang happiness seeing her walking more confident amd more beautiful of course. And I like this new version of her.

"Aiz,ano ba?"

Natigil lang ako sa paglalakad when Zein grabs my arms and forced me to look at her.

Finally!

After the long meeting na halos inabutan na kami ng hapon time check 4:14 pm, ay sinadya ko talagang ipakita ang galit kong mukha after she reported the plans. Kunwari wala ako sa mood while we were in discussion. Everytime she'll glance at me I'll turn into a poker face.

At hindi niya nga ako matiis and followed me right after the meeting.
Yes medyo nasaktan ng konti but all in all I am just pretending that I'm mad at her.

Dapat lang no! She should cope up for not reaching out to me after I comforted her when she's downcasted.

"What now Zein?"

Kunwari irita kong sagot.

"Ba't di mo ako kinakausap?"

"Tsss.. Ba't kita kakausapin? Eh we just only met today after almost a month of disappearing. How about you did you bother to talk to me?"

I answered her with sarcasm while crossing my arms like Andrea Brillantes in Kadenang Ginto.

"I replied to your messages kaya akala ko okey lang sayo"

"What reply? The like emoji? The Oo,Oh and O? gash Zein is that what you call reply?"

"Hmmm.. Wala akong nirereplyan kahit isa maliban lang sayo at sa lola ko. I just bought a new phone and I don't know how to use it. I'm adjusting."

Pfftt...gash Zein. What are you?
A taong bundok who's allergic to social media.

"Whatever.."

Tumalikod ako kunwari aalis but infact para tumawa. Like duh who wouldn't laugh? There is no one in the world na hindi marunong mag phone.

"Aiz?wait lang ba't ka ba ganyan?"

It's time to roll the act..
Lights, camera, action *evil laugh*

"It's because you didn't make me feel that I'm important to you Zein. You didn't even tell me that you have this operation GLOW UP version 2.0 of yours or whatever you might gonna call it. Didn't you even know na I'm a great benefit to you when you tell me-------

"That's it Aizhel!---"

She cut me with a serious face.

"Kaya hindi ako masyadong nag oopen-up sayo ng mga plano ko lately its because of that word benefit. I didn't tell you this because I know I can benefit from you. At ano na naman ang iisipin ng mga tao?"

I stood up. Imbis na acting ko lang iyon ay biglang napunta sa gantong usapan.

Is my acting too much?

"Since we first met, everyone thinks that I am always benefiting from you. I am always depending on you. Alam kong mabuti kang tao Aiz at pili na lamang kayo sa mundo kaya't importante ka sa akin. Pero hindi dapat na halos lahat na lamang ay nakadepende ako sayo. Hindi ko gustong nakabenepisyo na nga ako sa pagiging scholar ay nakadepende pa ako sa mayayamang kaibigan ko sa campus."
