Kent's Point of View:
What the heck is wrong with me? Why am I here at the restaurant after drinking at the bar? I shook my head and pulled Zein outside. I don't know why I interfered in her life or why I defended her from her enemies. I'm annoyed because she is so nice, and they abuse her so much. I'm annoyed, and I don't understand it.
"S-Saan tayo pupunta?" Natigilan ako nang marinig ko ang mahina niyang boses.
Napapikit ako ng mariin at agad pinakawalan ang kamay niya na hawak ko pala. I looked at her. It's good that her t-shirt is thick, but her skirt is also dirty. I took a deep breath. Why did I bring her out here?
She tilted her head, confused. "Kent?"
I gulped when I heard her say my name. I sighed and immediately handed her the handkerchief. She looked at it in wonder but immediately took it from me.
"Punasan mo ang mukha mo..." seryosong sabi ko. "Madumi. Hindi magandang tingnan."
Napangiwi s'ya at pinunasan ang mukha niya. I stared at her for a moment. Ilang linggo na kaming magkakilala at ilang linggo na rin simula nung inaasar namin ang bawat isa.
"On your left cheek," utos ko.
She nodded her head, and I got the jacket to make it easy for her. I looked ahead when I saw daddy's car. He frowned as he looked at us through the window. He came out and immediately looked at us.
"What are you doing here?" tanong niya.
"Good evening, Sir T-Tristan..." Naunahan agad ako ni Zein.
Daddy nodded his head and casually looked at Zein. Tinignan niya ako kaya kinuwento ko ang nangyari sa kanya at nakita ko ang pag-aalala niya. He looked again at Zein.
"Pupuntahan ko ang mommy mo. I will take care of everything," sabi niya. He looked at Zein back to me. "Take care of her."
"Y-Yes, dad," sabi ko.
He patted my shoulder, and I immediately smiled at him. I looked back at Zein, who was fine, but her hair was still sticky. Her hair was full of flour and eggs, and I don't know where they came from. I sighed. Ito ba ang resulta na araw-araw kong pambubully sa kanya? Hindi naman.
"Babalik na ako sa loob. Salamat dito," she said. "Baka hinahanap na ako ng manager."
"So?" I raised my eyebrows. She looked at me in shock. "Never mind. Just go inside and wash your hair dahil ang baho!" Tinakpan ko pa ang ilong ko kahit hindi ko naman talaga naamoy ang buhok niya.
"Anong sabi mo?" galit na tanong niya. I smirked when I saw her forehead creased. "Alam mo...ang weird mo at ng pag-uugali mo. Minsan mabait pero madalas tarantado. Diyan ka na nga!"
She walked out and I chuckled. Napailing ako at tinignan s'yang naglalakad papasok sa loob.
