Time Back To First Autumn

CHAPTER 8

AUTUMN

"You flat chested woman," he suddenly spoke that made me feel more nervous yet annoyed.

What the hell did he say?

I punched his chest but he just chuckled. I was about to walk away because of nervous, but Cradience didn't let me go. Nasa pagitan na ako ngayon ng mga binti niya. Ang dalawang binti niya ay ipinatong niya pa sa isang lamesa upang hindi ako makadaan.

Ano sa tingin niya ang ginagawa niya? Kapag bumaba naman ako upang makadaan, baka ipitin niya ulo ko. May espasyo pa naman pero hindi niya talaga ako padadaanin kapag hindi ko sinagot ang tanong niya tungkol sa pagtama ko sa mukha niya.

I don't want an issue here. I don't want to become another trouble  because slapping his face in front of crowd inside of his company is enough. Is he doing a revenge on me right now? Whatever he is trying to do, I don't care. I have to get away from him, he tried to kill me...and meeting him again here is a big mistake!

I need to get out of this place because I don't want to see him, please, not now. I'm too close to him and we are few inches far to each other. I'm just trying to hold my breath while thinking a way, of how to stop seeing him. 

Nanginginig na ang mga tuhod ko sa kaba at parang mawawalan ako ng balanse anumang oras.

I'm still holding myself up by touching the table to support my weight. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gusto niyang mangyari pero sana ay hindi niya ako mahuli ngayon. Isang araw pa lamang ng practice at pakiusap sa akin ni coach Hermes, palpak agad ako rito dahil lang sa kaniya?

"Why do you look pale? I haven't done anything—"

"Puwes, marami!" Napatakip agad ako ng bibig at nagpakawala bumuntong hininga.

"Come on, what's going on with you? Matagal na rin noong hindi tayo nagkita."

Kada salita niya, kada bitaw niya ng mga salita, kada rinig ko ng boses niya ay parang nauubusan ako ng hininga. Ang tono niya ngayon ay nagpapabalik sa kung ano ang nangyari sa amin sa kasalukuyan. Unti-unti akong tinutusok ng karayom na dala ng mga salita nito.

I don't know why I hit his chest even  my hand doesn't have a strength to give a force. Hindi siya mukhang nasaktan sa ginawa ko pero nanghina bigla ang mga kamay ko dahil sa nerbyos kaya napahina ang pagsuntok ko sa dibdib niya.

"W-what do you want?" I failed avoid to feel my nervousness as well as my quivering voice. Talking to him right now while I am still in the middle of healing isn't really good. I swear, it's painful.

He flashed a smirk as he leaned his face more to me but I withdraw my face back, avoiding to get closer to him. I don't know if I'm scared of his presence because of our past or I'm scared because of the possibility that he might know that I'm Autumn Therental not Auvinumn Therental, my twin.

"You punched me like a soft marshmallow but you hit the ball hard? Ano iyon, may superpowers ka kanina?" pang-iinsulto niya na naman sa akin. Kahit kinakabahan ay kumunot ang noo ko sa kaniya.

I took a heavy sigh. "P-puwede bang padaanin mo ako? Kapag nahuli tayo rito, bigyan pa tayo ng isyu. Hindi ako pumapatol sa kapuwa ko lalaki." Finally, I managed to remain my cool despite of my feeling of dizziness.

"So you're saying that you're straight? I see," he playfully retorted as he caressed his chin as if he's thinking something but by judging his eyes and his treatment, he is only playing around.

Na unfair sa akin dahil habang siya ay nakikipaglaro, sumusubok ako na umalis sa talim ng karayom na dala niya.
