"Zen wait!" I cursed mentally when she even doubled her pace.

Bigla kasi siyang umalis at naglakad palayo pagkatapos nang ginawa ni Cathy sa'kin.

I think she really knew that I do like Zen. Am I that obvious? I don't know, but the only thing I know is that whenever my eyes met hers, I will automatically forget everything, except her.

I groaned, nahihirapan nadin akong humabol kasi ang daming tao sa paligid. Kapag ito talaga inubos pasensya ko, uubosin ko hangin niya gamit ang labi ko. Charot.

"Zenith Araceli!" I called her again, but this time by calling her name completely.

I saw how she stopped after she heard me and before she can run away again, I immediately went near her and held her hand, to intertwine it with mine.

She tried getting off from my hold but I didn't let her. Dinala ko siya sa walang taong parte ng university, tsaka ko siya hinarap.

"Hey, are you mad?" I softly asked. Obvious din ang tanong ko pero wala kasi akong alam na salita para umpisahan ang usapan namin.

"I'm not." She coldly utter and avoided my gaze, but I'm slightly thankful that she's not trying to get off from my hold.

I held her cheeks gently and make her line of vision crossed mine.

"Anong nagawa ko na ikinagalit mo? Tell me, hmm?" I gently asked and let her feel the sincerity of my voice.

She just frowned at me before avoiding my gaze again.

"I told you that I'm not mad. Now let go of me. You should go back now, lunch time's almost over." I just shaked my head as disapproval.

"No, I'm not going back in there. Not now when you're obviously mad." Kokontra na sana ulit s'ya nang magsalita ulit ako.

"And nagpaalam na ako kay Cath, si Solen ang papalit sa'kin. I'll explain later but now let's get out of here, para mabawasan 'yang galit mo sa'kin." Mahinahon kong sabi and I didn't let her speak because I immediately held her hand again, and guide her towards the parking lot.

Gusto ko sana siyang dalhin sa seaside kaso parang mas gusto ko siya dalhin somewhere private. Where we can talk sincerely, and even though other people seldom go there , it's still public so not there.

Ako ang unang sumampa ng motor ko at tahimik naman siyang sumunod at hindi na umangal.

Nagpasiya din akong magdrive thru muna habang nag-iisip kung saan ko siya dadalhin.

Her condo is also a no for me. What if hindi lang si Phil ang makasalubong ko this time, at buong family na niya?

I decided to just order in the first fast food that we'll see first. 'Wag na resto beh, wala akong pera.

Mukhang na gets naman agad ni Zen kaya hindi na siya nagsalita, and I am smiling like an idiot because she really likes hugging me from the back in this situation.

"What do you want to order?" Malumanay kong tanong kay Zen.

"Chicken with rice and fries."

"You really like chicken huh?" Naramdaman kong natigilan ito sa sinabi ko.

"Obviously." I chuckled. Chicken madalas niyang order sa cafeteria but not always. She also eats veggies para magbalance ang kinakain niya, and not puro meat.

"Hello maam, may I have your order?" Boses ito ng babae na galing mula sa speaker.

"Two chicken with rice, two large fries and two coke floats please, thank you." Not a fan of rice but I feel like I need it right now. Gutom talaga ako ngayon kaya need ko ng kanin.
