On The Thin Ice

Chapter 8

We are currently walking back to our classroom, last subject na namin 'tong Architectural Business ngayong hapon.

I'm busy thinking why Miss Ragel seems elusive these past few days when Eya spoke up, reason to interrupt what I am thinking.

"Kale, diba si Miss Ragel 'yon? And she's with Atty. Valeria Infantes?" Eya said.

Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa kanya bago tumingin sa direksyon na tinuro niya. And right, she's busy listening to Atty. Valeria who is supposed to be in Spain right now.

"What is she doing here?" tanong ni Eya at bumaling sa'kin. I just shrugged my shoulder on her and began to walk again to the classroom when I heard someones shouting my name.

"RAIIIIIII!"

Oh God, this woman are really loud. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at nagsimula nang maglakad pabalik ng classroom ngunit nakakatatlong hakbang palang ako ng muling sumigaw ito, ngunit hindi na ganoon kalakas kanina.

"Rai, baby wait!" Valeria said from behind.

I heard Eya's laughing so I glared at her dahilan para matigil siya and mouthed "sorry". I turned to my back to face these two women who were already in front of us.

I looked at Valeria and she's smiling widely at me.

Confused, Ilooked at her and about to talk when Eya spoke and asked what I'm about to ask.

"Hi, Miss Ragel" Eya greeted her bago balingan si Val.

"What are you doing here Atty. Infantes?" tanong ni Eya, but instead na sumagot she rolled her eyes on Eya. Ayaw niya talaga ng tinatawag na Atty. pag kami 'yong kausap.

Pinanatili ko ang tingin ko kay Miss Ragel na mukhang masama na naman yata ang timpla, parang pinapatay ako sa isip kung makatingin eh.

Hindi ko inalis ang tingin ko sa kanya, kakaiba talaga ang ganda ng babaeng 'to. I looked at her from head to toe, she's wearing plain white long sleeves na naka tuck in sa black fitted skirt na above her knee, and damn her perfect curved. Naka open pa 'yong first button ng long sleeves dahilan para makita 'yong collarbone niya.

I looked into her face and she instantly rolled her eyes at me, again. I let out a soft chuckled and there I saw her na nakatitig lang sa'kin.

"Ehem! Nakagawa na ba kayo ng sariling mundo ni Kale, Miss Ragel?" Eya interrupted us. Before I turned my sight to Eya, I saw Miss Ragel face on bloodshot. I mentally smirked, is she blushing? Cute.

I saw Eya smirking at me so I raised my eyebrows on her. Natigil lang ako ng may biglang yumakap sa'kin and it's Valeria. Hinayaan ko nalang 'coz knowing this woman, she's a hard-headed bitch. Baka hindi ako tantanan kapag hindi pinagbigyan, nasanay na rin ako sa ganitong ugali nito pero minsan nakakainis na.

Valeria is working on me, no I mean in my Law Firm sa Spain so why the hell she's here? Hindi ko narinig 'yong usapan nila ni Eya kanina, I mean siguro narinig ko wala lang doon ang atensyon ko kasi na kay Miss Ragel.

"Kale? Gusto mo pa ba mabuhay ng matagal?" Eya asked in low voice. I confusedly looked at her, tumingin siya kay Miss Ragel at ganoon din ako.

Wala itong emosyon na pinapakita, I gulped. Hindi ko alam bakit nakakaramdam ako ng kaba? As far as I remember wala akong kinatatakutan so how can this woman make me feel nervous? Feeling ko may kasalanan akong nagawa kahit wala naman.

I saw her looked at Valeria who's still hugging me, hindi ko alam paano ko nagawang itulak palayo sa'kin si Val.

"Oh god I missed you, baby. I want to hug you more." Val said na ikinatawa ni Eya. She is about to hug me again when the woman who can make me nervous for no reason spoke.
