On The Thin Ice

Chapter 28

A|N: R18+

Tamad na tamad akong bumaba nang sasakyan matapos ko iyong i-park. I yawned while I'm walking straight inside the campus. Tatlong araw akong hindi pumasok kaya naman kahit pagod ako ay pinilit kong pumasok ngayon.

After what happened last night, I was the one who drove Chelsy or Ceria home, I still haven't told her. It wasn't that easy, so I left Ash and Cold there to keep an eye on her.

I walked straight to the classroom. I'm sure Eya is there already since that girl is really an early bird.

Our noisy classroom became silent when I entered. They were all looking at me as if I had been absent for a year.  Miss Ragel, our first subject, is not here yet, kaya malaya ulit silang nag ingay nang maka-upo ako sa tabi ni Eya.

"Is everything's fine? You found her?" Eya suddenly asked na ikinatingin ko sa kanya.

Nakatingin lang siya sa'kin habang hinihintay akong magsalita. Napa-buntong hininga nalang ako bago unti unting tumango sa kanya.

"We knew it. I mean, your real reason why you choose to came here in the Philippines, Rai" sabi niya ulit tsaka ngumiti.

Right, I was secretly got here in the Philippines three to five times every year just to find her.....them.

"Is she knows about her true...I mean...you know?" tanong niya at sumeryoso ang tingin sa'kin.

"Who?" I asked

"Chelsy...nah I mean Ceria?"

"I think she lost her memory after that accident, she can't remember what happened in the past." sagot ko na ikinabuntong hininga niya nalang.

Ilang minuto pa ay dumating na rin si Miss Ragel na bahagya pang nagulat ng makita ako. She cleared her throat before greeting us with her cold "good morning" bago nagtungo sa kanyang table.

Muli niya akong binalingan ng tingin tsaka ako inirapan na ikinatawa nitong katabi ko, marahil ay nakita niya 'yon.
Isinubsob ko ang mukha ko sa desk nang magsimula nang magturo si Miss Ragel.

I was physically and emotionally drained and worn-out these past few days at wala pa talaga akong pahinga kaya naman pakiramdam ko lahat ng lakas ko naubos.

When I woke up, I didn't hear any noise from inside the classroom. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the entire room but I didn't see anyone except Miss Ragel who was at her table and was looking at me badly.

Hindi man lang ako ginising.

"So, how was your slept during my class Ms. Inyene?" she asked but I hint displeasure on her tone.

She crossed her arms, raising her eyebrows as she looked at me hardly.

"Good" sagot ko kahit pakiramdam ko ay nanghihina ako.

Muli ko siyang nakitang umirap dahil sa isinagot ko. Tumayo na'ko upang umalis sana ngunit mahigpit akong napahawak sa desk nang pakiramdam ko ay umiikot ang buong paligid ko at naramdaman ko nalang ang biglang pagkirot ng ulo ko.

Damn!

Nakita ko ang pagtataka ni Miss Ragel habang nakatingin sa'kin kaya naman pinilit kong maging maayos sa harap niya kahit pakiramdam ko ay babagsak ako dahil sa sobrang panghihina.

"You're absent for three days, Miss Inyene. You have to catch up on a lot of quizzes in my subject, take a quiz if you have free time unless you want to fail my subject."  sabi niya at tumayo na rin mula sa pagkakaupo.

"Okay" tanging sagot ko.

I saw her sighed as she looked at me in disbelief bago naglakad papalapit sa'kin na ikinalayo ko.
