12: Hug

Marthae's Pov

Sabay na kami ni Zen bumaba sa parking lot dahil magsasabay na din kami pumuntang university.

Tahimik lang kaming naglalakad nang napatigil ako nang mamataan ang lalaking 'di ko bet ang pagmumukha.

"Shit." I whispered when I saw the man walking towards our direction.

I knew that their family owned this building but I didn't expect seeing him here.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Zen at iiwas na sana ako kay Phil but to my dismay, nakilala na niya ako.

Binitawan ko nalang si Zen. I sigh in defeat and face the man who just called me.

"Marthae? It's really you!" Masigla pang sabi nito na may malawak na ngiti sa labi nang balingan ko ito ng tingin.

Nakita ko pa ang pagtataka sa mukha ni Zen kaya nagsimula na akong kabahan.

Baka madulas 'tong si Phil at may masabi pang hindi muna dapat malaman ng babaeng katabi ko, 'wag muna ngayon.

"Oh Phil, nice to meet you." I tried my best to not sound rude and gave him a sweet smile.

I saw how his cheeks tuned light red, and I flinch when the woman beside me pinch my side.

Nagtataka ko itong binalingan ng tingin ngunit inirapan lang ako nito. Huh? Anong nagawa ko?

"U-uhm yes, it's my pleasure to see you again after our last encounter." Mas domoble ang kaba ko sa sinabi niya. Pinilit ko ulit siyang bigyan ng ngiti bago nagsalita.

"Hmm, but we really need to go. I still have class." I said trying to dismiss him.

"Oh yeah, sure. Mind if we'll grab coffee some other time when we'll meet again?" Hindi pa ako nakasagot nang makaramdam ulit ako ng kurot sa tagiliran.

"I'll wait for you at where my car is parked, because it seems like you both has a lot to talk about." Sobrang lamig pagkasabi niya at para siyang galit. Mas trumiple na talaga ang kaba ko, teka ano bang ginawa ko?

Hindi agad ako nakasagot kaya inirapan ulit ako ni Zenith bago ito naglakad palayo.

Even though I want to follow Zen right away, I don't want to be rude on Phil.

"Some other time then, I really need to go. Bye Phil." Was all I said para hindi na humaba ang usapan.

His mood brighten and his smile grew wider.

"Okay, I'll expect that when we meet again."

I smiled once again before walking towards Zen's car.

"Enjoying huh? Natagalan kapa talaga sa pagsunod!" She irritatingly said.

Nagulat naman ako nang pumasok ito sa sasakyan niya at padabog na isinara ang pintuan.

Before she could turn on her car's engine, I immediately opened the passenger's seat and I'm glad that it's not locked.

"Get out." Napailing ako sa sinabi nito.

"What have I done to make you mad hm?" Mahinahon kong sabi, ayoko siyang lalong mainis kaya kailangan kong mag-ingat sa'king salita.

"I'm not mad." I sigh at her reply before leaning closer to her.

I caress her cheek and make her face me.

"Yes you are. Now tell me, anong nagawa ko na nagpagalit sayo?" I softly asked.

Iniwas lang nito ang mata sa'kin bago nagsalita.

"How come you two know each other? The guy, I mean." Doon lang ako nawalan ng salita.

Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin, should I lie? But I'm still not ready to tell her, specially that Phil is supposedly my fiancé.
