Eren Pierce Salazar

Kabanata 8

I was checking the booths when Sky patted my shoulder from the back. He was following me because we're both assigned to check the booths and also, it's our responsibility as a president and vice president.

''What?'' I asked when I got to turn to look at him.

He was just looking at me like but there's an urge of something in his eyes.

''Ano nga?'' Nagsisimula na akong mairita. Ewan ko ba baka dahil 'to sa pagbubuntis ko.

He was hesitating but he still asked ''Did you and Kuya Eren fight?'' he asked.

Napatingin naman ako sa kanina pa niya sinusulyapan and then I saw Eren there. Looking at me like he's waiting for me to go near him. For what? To apologize? Dahil duon sa nangyari sa BGC? No way in hell I'll apologize. I didn't do anything bad and besides, I already thanked him for saving me and Claire that day. Isn't it enough? Or does he just want to feel superior to me?

Iniwas ko ang aking tingin kagaya din ng ginawa ni Eren nang magtama aming mga mata. Ano siya gold? Hindi ako magso-sorry. Ewan ko ba, there's a side of me that telling me I was wrong for doing that. I am aware I'm pregnant yet I still went there.

''Hindi kami nag-away at hayaan mo yan. I don't know his problems at ayaw kong madamay'' sabi ko at deritso sa paglalakad.

Habang naglalakad ako ay nararamdaman kong may sumusunod na tingin sa akin but still I ignored it.

''He's looking at you right now'' Sky said.

''Pake ko'' I replied but my heart was beating so loud that I can't also explain why it is beating so damn loud and fast.

''Baka may namamagitan na sa inyo ha?'' Sky said with a hint of tease.

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad at napaharap sa likod. Nakataas ng konti ang isang pisngi ko hudyat ng magsasabing...

''Okay ka lang ba, Sky? Naka shabu ka ba?'' sarkastiko kong tanong.

He chuckled. ''Hindi marijuana lang kaya ko''

''Gago'' Sinampal ko siya kaya napahawak siya sa pisngi niya.

''Nagiging abuser kana yata nitong nakaraang araw, Maria''

''Magiging certified talaga kapag hindi mo ako tinigilan'' banta ko sa kanya.

Sa huli ay tumigil na ito at tinapos nalang namin ang pinag gagawa namin. Napaka ingay sa buong University. Napakaraming studyante sa baba. Mapa Highschool to College. Nakakatuwa silang tignan, gusto kong sumama sa kasiyahan lalo na't madami daw naghahanap sa akin but I can't be careless.

Nakaupo lang ako sa swivel chair ko habang nakatingin sa malaking bintana ng student council room. I was looking at the people who's enjoying the event.

''You'll not go there?'' I heard Claire's voice from the back

''Nah. I can't. You know I need to be careful'' I said without looking at her.

''You can still enjoy without being careless besides you need to enjoy yourself hanggang hindi pa halata ang tiyan mo'' sabi niya pa.

I sighed and turned my chair around to see Claire. Nang mag tama ang aming mga mata ay ngumiti siya. Napatingin ako sa dala niya. She was holding a lasagna. Iyong pinaglilihian ko na pagkain ngayon.

I smiled immediately. Nanubig kaagad ang bagang ko sa nakita. Inilapag kaagad ni Claire ang lasagna at umupo sa visitor's chair malapit sa table ko.

''I know you'll not gonna join them kaya kain ka nalang dito'' sabi pa nito at kumuha ng plato at kutsara sa mini kitchen namin dito sa office.
