Into The Wild (Mafia Series #2)

13

Hinatid ako ni Lenuel sa Leicester. He also stopped by to my room. He said wanted to make sure that I'm going to be okay.

"Be a good girl, Creja, call me if they did something to you... alright?" He asked. I just nodded. He pat my head before he left. I entered to the room. I thought they will stop and look at me judgementaly but they didn't.

Naghanap na lang ako ng upuan at naupo ako. It was so awkward because I had no one to talk with. Hindi ako sanay na tahimik ako.

Dito nag aaral si Poline, Kyla, Azheaya at Uchille pero ang lalayo ng building nila sa building ko. Nakakainis.

"Hi," a man approached me. He gave me a smile.

I smiled back, "Hello."

"You're the transferee, right?" I nodded. Nilahad niya kamay niya, "I'm Marcus Salvador."

Tinanggap ko naman 'to. "Fliona Creja," then we shake our hands.

"Tabi tayo ah?" He asked and I nodded since vacant seat naman yung katabi kong upuan.

He's good at making conversations kaya tumagal ang usapan namin. Hindi siya boring kausap kaya nalibang talaga ako.

He's Marcus Salvador, 19 years old and grade 11. 6'1 ang height and he is a Gemini.

He gives too much info about himself. But it's okay.

Our class ended and we went to the cafeteria. Hindi pa man kami nakakapasok sa cafeteria ay hinila ako bigla ni Zy.

"Lenuel asked me to look after you. Sabay ka saamin mag lunch." He said. Ang seryoso niya talaga.

"Pwede ba siyang sum-"

"No." He said. "We'll go ahead, bro." At hinila na ako ni Zy. I murmered sorry to Marcus and he just smiled and nodded.

Inupo niya ako sa tabi ni Ace. I don't like him. I distanced myself at him a little. He's giving me off vibes that's why I'm not talking to him. Malalaman mo kaagad kung gusto mo ba yung tao o hindi.

Binigay na saakin ni Zy ang pagkain ko kaya kumain na ako. Mula sa glass door ng cafeteria ay naririnig ko na ang malakas na boses ni Chi.

"Tanga, nadulas sa hagdan!" Sabi niya at tumawa habang nakaturo kay Kyla.

Hinampas naman siya ni Kyla sa braso kaya umaray siya. Mukhang wala sa mood si Kyla kaya nananakit.

Nakita ako ni Kyla na may hawak na pagkain kaya tumakbo siya saakin at inagaw pagkain ko. Hinayaan ko na lang dahil nags-stress eating yan.

Natapos ang lunch break namin at bumalik ang lahat sa klase. Nag sorry ako ulit kay Marcus dahil sa inasta ni Zy kanina. He said it was fine and he didn't mind at all.

Pre cal sub namin ngayon kaya medjo nahirapan ako. Buti na lang tinuruan ako ni Marcus sa mga hindi ko maintindihan.

Habang nag kklase ay nag vibrate ang phone ko. Kinuha ko ito at tinago sa ilalim ng lamesa. Nag text saakin si Lenuel.

[I'll pick you up later. Let's eat outside with Auleona.] He texted.

[Ok.] I replied.

[That's all? Where's my i love you?] He replied which made my jaw dropped. Psh.

[Tanong mo sa pagong.] Iyon na ang huling text ko at tinago na ang phone ko.

The class ended smoothly. Nilalagay ko na yung mga books sa bag ko at hinihintay ako matapos ni Marcus.

Sabay kaming lumabas ng room at dumaan muna kami sa lib saglit para manghiram ng libro. Buti ay naabutan pa namin na bukas ang lib kaya nakahiram kami. May recitation kasi kami.

He helped me with my books. Dinala niya iyon hanggang sa makarating kami sa parking lot.

I saw Lenuel's black BMW. Nakasandal siya doon habang buhat si Auleona. She saw me and I smiled. Pinuntahan ko siya agad at binuhat. I showered her with kisses so she giggled. So adorable!

"Who's he?" Lenuel asked and he arched his brow. Right, nasa likod ko pa pala si Marcus.

"Marcus Salvador." Pag papakilala ni Marcus kay Lenuel.

"Lenuel Vince Lustivera, Creja's fiancee." Sabi naman ni Lenuel. Gosh, bakit niya pa sinama yon!

Marcus nodded. He gave my books to Lenuel and tapped his back. "Nice to meet you." He looked at me and pat my head. "See you tommorow, Fliona." He waved at me and he left.

Nilagay niya ang libro ko sa loob ng sasakyan at pinapasok na kami sa shot gun seat. He closed the door and opened the driver's seat.

We went to a restaurant. Nauna siyang bumaba at pinagbuksan kami ni Auleona ng pintuan. Kinuha niya si Auleona saakin at binuhat. He held my waist as we entered the restaurant.

Nag pareserve na pala ng seat si Lenuel. He put Auleona on his lap and feed her. Ayaw niyang ipagawa saakin. Ngumuso na lang ako at nagpatuloy sa pagkain.

"How's school?" Lenuel asked.

"It went well..." I whispered.

He nodded. "Good." He said. "Any assignments?"

"Yeah. A lot."

"Come to me if you're struggling with it and I will help you."

"How's work?" I asked.

"It's good. The meeting went well."

"Good to hear."

My heart is pounding so fast! I drinked my water and wiped my mouth when I finished eating. Napansin ko na si Auleona lang ang pinapakain niya.

"Where's your food?" Tanong ko.

"I'm done eating." Sabi niya. "I ate with board of directors." I nodded. He seems tired. Is he even sleeping?

We went home after we ate. Kinuha ko na si Auleona kay Lenuel ng makarating kami sa bahay. Tulog na tulog na si Auleona sa balikat ko. Kinuha ko na rin yung libro at bag ko na dala rin ni Lenuel.

"Mauuna na kami, thank you for today." I said.

He nodded, "It's nothing. Rest well, Creja."

I took a deep breath and nodded before I went to our room. I put Auleona on her bed and I took a quick shower. Nag bihis ako at naupo sa study table ko. Nag review at advance reading ako. I did my assignments.

Habang nagawa ay biglang nagising si Auleona ng alas dos ng madaling araw. Agad ko siyang pinuntahan at binuhat. She was hungry kaya pinadede ko. While giving her a breast feed, I'm doing my schoolworks. Hinele ko siya ulit para makatulog. Inaantok na rin ako pero I have so many things to do. May reportings pa akong gagawin.

I decided to take a break. Auleona and I went to bed. I rested her beside me. Nag lagay ako ng unan sa gilid niya. Nag alarm ako ng 30 minutes. I will have a 30 minutes nap.

Maliwanag na ng magising ako kaya napabalikwas ako ng bangon. Wala na si Auleona sa tabi ko!

I calmed down when I saw Lenuel and Auleona on the rocking chair. Lenuel was topless with pajama and sleepers. She was on his chest, sleeping.

Napatingin saakin si Lenuel. "Good morning. Sorry I barged in your room... I heard her crying so..."

"It's fine. Good morning, too." I said. I brushed my hair with my fingers. I look like a mess. "What time is it?"

"8 o'clock." He casually said. Shit! My first class starts at 7:30 AM! "I told your teacher that you will not attend to his class today..."

"Bakit hindi mo ako ginising?" Tanong ko.

"I tried. But you were snoring." He shrugged.

"Oh my god, I don't snore!" I said.

"You just did earlier." He looked at me and smiled. "Eat your breakfast and get ready for school, you don't want to be late for your second class."
