Our sides

Incident (The Nosy Folks)

One thing I like the most about Arch is she expressed her feelings through her expression or sometime on her body language, she don't usually express much in front of other people especially with her family, but whenever i'm with her I could easily see and feel it, for instance if she's angry, happy or pissed off, I could see it instantly.

"Your totally losing it don't you?" Irritang tanong ni Arch at pilit kumakawala sa bisig ko

I grab her hands using my free hand at lumapit sa tinga nya that immediately stop her from moving "The stalker has arrived, now be a good girl or else you will be busted"

I could feel her heavy breath and her uneasiness in between our closeness bodies  "I will, just let me go"

Binitiwan ko na sya, I take her right hand and hold it tight, I heard her say 'aww' kaya naman niluwagan ko ang pag hawak sa kanya, to avoid hurting her

"Andon na ba sya sa meet up place nyo?" Pacasual kong tanong sa kanya to avoid more awkward

Nag patuloy lang kami sa paglalakad na mag kahawak kamay as if nothing had happened and doesn't care people around

"Mala-late daw sya dahil may mga dadaanan pa sya, ikaw may pinunta ka ba talaga dito?"

She's using her phone in one hand and I put my other hand sa pocket ko at tumitingin sa paligid at sa dinadaanan naming dalawa,

"Punta muna tayo sa malapit na restaurant dito, I heard na di kapa kumain simula kagabi at pareho tayong hindi pa kumakain ng breakfast, okay lang ba sayo yun?" Humarap ako sa kanya waiting for her answer

She look at me for a seconds at ibinalik ang tingin sa phone nya while tumango-tango "Yeah it's okay, it could kill some time of waiting"

After nya umagree I gently guided her sa malapit na restaurant na alam kong hindi din kalayuan sa meet up place nila.

Pagkarating namin sa restaurant, I let her go, ako na mismo ang nag tanggal ng cap at mask nya and we seated opposite to each other pero patuloy nya paring ginagamit ang kanyang cellphone kaya naman I order foods on her behalf,

"Can you please stop using your phone" mahina kong pag kasabi sa kanya

Medyo marami-rami din ang taong kumakain ngayon dahil it's almost noon, some people are watching us at nakakahiya naman na I have a partner who put her attention to her phone.

She stop typing at pinaparamdaman nya ang paligid, then she scroll something in her cellphone and waggle her phone, at biglang lumaki ang mata nya out of horrified "My dad is following us" naibaba nya bigla yung cellphone nya sa mesa at hindi mapakali sa inuupuan nya

Napalinga linga ako sa paligid to see kung nasaan ang tinutukoy niya but I didn't catch a sight of Tito "What are you saying?, Wala naman si Tito dito" I lower my gaze ng tumingin sya sakin ng masama

"I didn't mean physically," medyo lumapit sya sakin kaya naman lumapit din ako sa kanya "my Dads private investigator is here not far with us, 9 o'clock"

I was about to look pero hinawakan nya ang magkabilang pisngi ko "Just a glimpse, his wearing color white and blue, and a camera at his table"

And slowly sway my head to her left, when I see the guy she described hinatak nya pabalik ang ulo ko at ngayon nag kakatitigan na naman kami ng malapitan,

"You're not just paranoid,—–right? Pano mo nasasabi na tayo ang sinusundan nya?" I was looking at her intently as I was waiting for her explanation
