My Secret Credibility

Chapter 39

Today is my appoinment with Geoneo. It's already 9 PM and I already sended the location on my house. Ayaw kong gumala, actually. Nagbago 'yong isip ko na 'wag na lang, mas mabuting sa bahay ko na lang dahil nakakatamad lumabas.

I checked my phone to see if Clage leave a message or missed calls pero, wala naman. Umiling na lang ako ng makita kong wala siyang text man lang kahit isa. Tsk!

Kahit isang 'good morning' man lang wala?

Nang biglang may nag-doorbell, agad akong tumayo upang buksan ang pinto. Geoneo is probably here at tiyak kong first time niyang pumunta rito sa aking pamamahay.

"Good morning!" he appeared with a smile on his face.

He was wearing a white polo by his collar and black sweater the top of it. Above all he's wearing his favorite fashion style, his loose pants was attractive and addidas white shoes as well.

I just rolled my eyes, "Come in."

Walang good sa morning! Ni hindi niya nga ako binati ng good morning e, tangina lang! Pinaupo ko siya sa aking malambot na sofa at kinuha ko ang tea na aking ginawa kanina kaya naman tinanggap niya 'yon.

"Anong gusto mong sabihin tungkol sa text mo kahapon?" I said it while grabbing the pillow from the sofa to hug it.

"My cousin bought you a gift, right? I mean, it was the package box. It was a book, right?" he asked.

How did he know about that? Sinabi ba sa kaniya ni Gairel? Kaso imposibleng sabihin ni Gairel sa kaniya dahil hindi naman sila okay sa isa't isa. Inshort, hindi sila magkasundo.

Medyo matagal-tagal na rin pala ang nakalipas. Halos six months na ang nakalipas pero, hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin nabubuksan ang package box na 'yon para i-check out ang libro na 'yon. Mukhang nakalimot na nga ako sa bagay na 'yon pero, I should check it out again later or either tomorrow. Basta kung kailan may oras ako.

"Uhm... that's right, why? What about it and how the hell did you know about it? Are you stalking me or something?"

I almost throw him a pillow that I was hugging but then, Geoneo took a little sip on his tea first before deciding to talk, "Chill, okay? Ayan ka nanaman sa napakarami mong tanong e."

Sinapo ko ang noo ko sa kawalan. Okay, he's making you curious again, Zara. I was about to throw him a pillow but, he suddenly raised his both of his hands like a kid.

"Teka, 'wag! Hindi naman kasi talaga 'yong pinsan ko 'yong nag-regalo sa'yo no'n e! Ako! Ako ang nag-regalo and I wasn't stalking you, okay? Ano, happy ka na?" he slowly put his hands on his lap as he saw my reaction, "Teka, 'wag ka namang ganiyan makatitig sa akin! Mukha kang mangkukulam e! I swear I wasn't stalking you on the behalf on my whole life."

Lalong nagdilim ang mga paningin ko sa kaniyang sinabi. Ako? Mangkukulam?! Sinong niloko mo? E, nahulog ka kaya sa aking gago ka! Para mo na rin sinabing nahulog ka sa mangkukulam!

Hindi na ako nagtimpi-timpi pa. Inirapan ko muna siya bago binato ng unan sa kaniyang mukha. His face suddenly look shocked.

What now, jerk? You're not expecting that, right?

"A-Ano ba! 'Wag mo nga akong batuhin! Narito ako para sabihin sa'yo 'yon, hindi para makibasag-ulo sa'yo. Sa bagay 'yon naman kayong mag-kakaibigan e, puro kayo basag-ulo!"

He almost slipped on the floor as he tried to run away from me. I chased him not until I grab his collar, "Tanga ka ba? Binato lang kita ng unan, basag-ulo na agad ang tingin mo sa akin? Ah! One more thing, don't act as if you didn't fall hard--"
