The Universe of Us

CHAPTER 42

Sandro's POV:

"Sir Sandro! Ang pogi mo talaga!" Every young lady kept on shouting habang nasa caravan kami.

Agad naman ako bumalik sa pangangampanya.

"Thank you! Thank you!" I shouted back at them habang kumakaway-kaway.

Hiraya was just behind me habang nasa caravan truck kami.

Her and Joshua were always with me.

Okay lang sana if si Hiraya lang eh.

Hay naku.

"Sandro! I love you! Pakasalan mo na ako!" Another young lady shouted at napangiti lang ako.

I looked at her and she was quite beautiful.

Kinawayan ko naman sya.

I looked back at Hiraya and she was glaring at me.

Napalunok naman ako as I continued waving at the people.

After that, my cousin, Matthew and I decided na magdinner sa bahay namin for the whole team.

"Sandro, you're doing a great job sa pangangampanya. I'm sure that you and Matthew will win." The mayor of Laoag said habang kinakamayan nya ako.

"Thank you mayor, for giving us your full support." I said.

Napalingon naman ako kay Hiraya at Joshua na nasa gilid lang ng garden namin at nag-uusap.

Medyo nakakaselos ha. Hmp.

"Excuse me for awhile." I said and he just nodded at me.

Nagkunwari naman akong may hinahanap habang naglalakad papalapit kay Hiraya.

"May kailangan po kayo sir?" Joshua asked me.

I looked at them.

"I was just looking for... Via.. have you seen her?" I asked pero alam ko naman kung nasaan sya eh.

Papunta palang yun dito.

"I think she's--"

"Can you do me a favor and find her?" I interrupted Joshua.

He looked surprised pero he just nodded at me.

"Of course sir." He said at nagpaalam sandali kay Hiraya.

After he left, Hiraya just stood there and not even looking at me.

"Hi." I said.

"Yes." She answered coldly.

Ay ang sungit.

"Kamusta ka? Napagod ka ba?" I asked.

Tumabi naman ako sa kanya and we were both facing the beautiful garden at nakatalikod kami sa mga tao.

"I'm fine." Tipid niyang sagot.

Napatingin naman ako sa kanya.

"Are you okay? Galit ka ba sa akin?" I asked.

"Hindi." Sagot niya but she wasn't even looking at me.

"Are you sure? Mukhang galit ka ata--"

"Hindi nga." She answered again.

"Hiraya-" I was about to touch her hand pero she started walking away.

"Hiraya--" I was almost shouting pero pinipigilan ko lang ang boses ko.

Naglakad sya sa isang narrow na daan papunta sa main door ng bahay.

Wala masyadong tao dito, mabuti na lang talaga.

"Wait.. Hiraya!!" I was able to catch up on her and she just brushes me off.

She looked mad.

Ano ba ginawa ko?

"You are mad."

"What did I do?" I asked habang nakahawak sa mga kamay nya.

"Wala--"

"Hiraya. Answer me." I said.

Natahimik naman sya.

I walked closer to her at hinimas himas ang mga braso niya.

She looked me in the eyes.

No she was basically glaring at me.

"What did.. I do?" I asked in a very gentle voice.

"Hindi ko alam, itanong mo na lang doon sa babaeng nag-aya na magpakasal sayo. Mukhang kinilig ka ata doon eh." She said at tumalikod ulit sa akin.

She's jealous.

Haha.

Okay wait, kinilig ako.

"Hey... are you jealous of her?" I said smiling.

"Bakit ka nakangiti?" She asked habang nakakunot ang noo nito.

"I'm just.. overwhelmed that you are jealous..."

"I am not jealous. I just find it annoying na kinilig ka doon." She said.

"Hey hey.. you don't need to be jealous of anyone else. I'm yours. Remember that." I was about to hold her.

"Hey.. there you are!" Simon shouted and Hiraya immediately took a step back away from me.

Yumuko agad ito.

"Good evening sir." She greeted him.

"Hi Hiraya! Kamusta ka?" Simon asked her at hinawakan ang balikat nito.

I frowned upon seeing it.

I can't be jealous of my own brother.

Hindi pwede.
