CHAPTER 42: TRY ME

ZORELS POV:

all went smooth. buti nalang talaga hindi kami nahahalata nila kath and hux hindi pa kase ngayon ang tamang panahon para malaman nila.

lalo na kaka-annulled lang nila miss ria and mr.balenciaga baka kung ano ang isipin ng mga 'yon.

especially sa university. a romance relationship between a student and her professor is not a good nor bad thing. i just dont want any chaotic things coming between me and my lady laurel.

saka gusto din ni miss ria na wag din munang ipaalam sa kahit na sino. we want them to know kapag nakagraduate na ako. especially now na binabantaan pa ang buhay ko this decision can protect me and miss ria kaya pumayag nadin ako.

a thought suddenly a crossed my mind. na ano kaya ang pwedeng maging endearment namin?

love? no its too common.

baby? no no.

honey?

"hoy zozo para kang tanga diyan lakas mong tumili inlove ka no?" agad naman akong natauhan ng biglang bumungad sa harapan ko si venice.

and yes nakabalik na siya muli. muntik na talaga syang ma dropped-out kaso pinakiusapan ko lang si auntie.

"yayks! kala ko multo!" i teased na ikinasimangot niya.

"sorry na kase zozo may importante lang talaga akong inaasikaso these past few days." she rebutted. mukha siyang balisa ano kaya ang nangyare?

"ano ba kase ang nangyayar-"

"no valentin! bahala ka sa buhay mo!" lahat naman kami ay napatitig kay kath na ngayon ay parang sasabog na sa kagalitan pag pasok neto ng room.

saka sinong valentin?

kath immediately run to us while wipping her tears off.

i run off towards her. dinamba naman ako neto ng yakap saka humagulhol na para bang kami lang ang tao ngayon sa room.

"what happened?!" i catched her between my arms and hugged her in return.

kath is shaking and i know shes hesitant to tell me whats happening. hinayaan ko nalang siyang umiyak at hindi na nagtanong pa.

everybody automatically sits down sa kanya-kanya nilang upuan ng pumasok na si miss.suarez saaming room.

attendance is starting. i secretly look at kath na ngayon ay naiiyak parin. humanda talaga saakin ang valentin nayon!

"Gutierrez Katherine?"

"p-present miss" kath sounds really bad.

i cant help it but to stood up. "yes miss montemayor?"

"uh miss.suarez can i excuse kath for a moment? shes not feeling well." nilingon ko naman si kath na ngayon ay halos mag passed out na.

shes having asthma. kath was diagnosed last week to have a severe asthma. severe asthma can trigger yelling and so much crying at once.

"okay you may go" agad ko namang inakbay si kath. "you need someone to help you with" pag suhestyon ni miss.suarez pag ka akbay ko kay kath.

"ako na mam!" agad namang napatayo si venice but miss.suarez doesn't look good when venice represents herself to help us.

"no you stay there" pag-turo nito kay venice. wala namang ibang nagawa si venice kunghindi ang umupo ng bagsak balikat.

"lia assist them" muntik ko nang mabitawan si kath sa sinambit ni miss.suarez. seriously lia?! Goodness!

agad naman itong nagtungo sa right side ni kath saka inakbay ang kabilang braso neto sa balikat niya.

bat ba kase kelangan pa ng assist e kaya ko naman na magisang alalayan si kath!

agad namang nag flashback ang mga ginawa neto sakin noon.

-

"why do you reject lucifer zorel?! hindi mo ba naisip na mas lalo kang sisikat kapag naging kayo?!"

lia is exploding just because of what she saw earlier when i rejected lucifer once again.

"ano ba lia nasasaktan ako!" lia wrap her arms sa kwelyo ng uniform ko and then pins's me at the wall.

"then face your consequences"

-

yes. lia was my greatest bully before. shes the daughter of tito rowan apparently.

im such a total loser before lalo na nung wala pa sa kamay ni dad ang university. she always bullys outside or inside the campus.

wala naman akong magawa. shes always under the influence of tito rowan. before i was so scared of them to the point i cant even tell to my own family.

not until i gained confidence at mas lalo pang nadagdagan ito ng naipasa na totally kay dad ang university.

mas lalo namang na trigger neto si lia at si tito rowan dahil akala nila ay sakanila mapupunta ang university but sadly no.

lia knows she cant triggered me anymore but her dad cant stop triggering me and my patience.

saka ano yung kailangan ko si lucifer para sumikat? even tho im such a loser before i know im already famous duh! mas lalo lang nadagdagan nung saamin na talaga ang university. a queen doesn't need a man para umangat no!

someday justice will prevail.

"kath just lye down, you'll be okay. on the way nadaw yung nurse para bigyan ka ng gamot." i said with pure assurance dahil ayokong mas lalong ma trigger ang panick attack neto.

"hey zorel lets talk outside" lia rebutted habang inaalalayan ko si kath sa paghiga.

aba ano nanaman ang paandar ng isang to?

"what now?" sambit ko rito habang nakatingin saaking nails.

"ano yun?"

"ang alin?"

lia had a very deep sigh. her hands automatically fists itself.

"yung pinagsasabi mo nung dinner sa family?" lia now is getting more red. halata nadin sa mukha neto ang galit niyang ugat.

"ah yu-"

di ko na natuloy ang dapat na sasabihin ko ng hawakan bigla neto ang kuwelyo ko saka idiniin ulit sa pader.

"sa susunod wag ka ng iimik lalo na kung hindi totoo"

"its facts lia common dont even try to hide it" bumitaw na saakin sawakas si lia and began to face outside.

"lalo na nabuking ka n-"

"you bitch!" lia is full of anger to the point she cant control herself anymore and makes a gesture where shes going to slap me but.

"dont.even.try"

bigla namang sumulpot si miss ria saka sinalo gamit ang kamay niya ang dapat na sampal saakin ni lia.

her furious eyes says it all.

"m-miss r-ria?"
