40: Zenith's III

Zenith's Pov

It's been six months since the dinner happened and it means that it's been six months since I've been engaged to Hirayle..

I don't know what happened to the woman tito Karl is talking to that night, and I didn't saw her fully.

Our eyes met briefly before I was able to hide and as I can remember, her eyes were bloodshot and I can see jealousy from it..

After it, I also didn't saw her again. I don't know who is she on Hirayle's life but I don't care.

Also, I don't think that she's Hirayle's fling because he don't do that. But, I'm not sure either. I don't really know so I should just stop talking about him because I am not liking it and I can't still accept the fact that I am tied with him.

We're friends, yes. But, I don't even like him, and our feelings are mutual.

However, he told me that I just need to trust him..  He told me that he'll fix this mess, and all I need to do is trust him so I will.

Today is my first day as a first year college student. I enrolled myself to a university right after I have discussed about my dream program with my father.

I thought he'll disagree with my decision but luckily, he didn't. Instead, he supported me and even push me to pursue it which surprised me and made me feel joy at the same time.

I quietly roamed my eyes before checking if the room I am about to step in is really my first class, and when I confirmed it, I quietly took a step forward for me to finally get it.

There are only few people inside since it is still early. I saw some of them looked at my direction, while some didn't care.

My gaze met with a guy that is definitely not my type. I don't want to describe nor check him out because it's only a waste of time.

I looked around to look for a vacant seat and chose to sit at the second row on the right column when I saw that it is not occupied.

But, before I could get to my chosen seat, the guy that I met my gazes earlier blocked my way.

I coldly looked at him that made him flinch but hid it immediately by wearing his awful and gross smirk.

"Hi miss, I'm—"

"I'm engaged." I cut him off mid-sentence because I know where this is going. Just by basing on his looks.

Ugh, men. Disgusting shits.

He was taken aback by what I said and processed it before her jaw drop. Before he could utter something again, I immediately walk past him and just sit to my chosen seat.

I chose to just grab my phone and scroll down on my social media, while waiting for our prof on our first subjects.

"Sayang ang ganda pa naman tol, kaso engaged na."

"Oo nga tol, mukha pa namang masarap."

I don't know if it's just a whisper or they really did say it aloud on purpose so that I can hear it.

My grip on my phone tighten as I quietly calmed myself not to make any scene. I am not that dumb to not know that they are talking to me.

While slowly calming myself, I felt that someone sat beside me. I didn't budge looking up to check who is it but her scent caught my attention.

Her scent, it's kind of familiar. Well, maybe I am just imagining things.

Nagpatuloy ako sa ginagawa until the noisy room suddenly became quiet when a woman in his mid 30s step into the room, wearing his strict aura that made everybody shut their mouth up.
