Atty. Calvry (GxG) 💍

Chapter 15

"Arghh." I groaned, pulling my hair frustratedly. "I don't know what to do anymore." I grunted.

I'm here at my room at the hotel I booked last week. I was intently looking at my plane ticket at the table. Mamayang gabi na ang flight ko pabalik ng Italy, at heto ako ngayon nagdadalawang isip.

I already have a plan for my 1 year vacation but right now I'm torn between staying here or staying away from them.

Frustratedly, I called Beau because Mallory's busy right now with her student.

"Yes, Frei?"

"I'm torn, help me." I sighed heavily over the phone.

"Torn what?"

"I'm torn between staying here or coming back there."

"Go back here, Freirain. That woman is married. Why does you love forbidden people so much?"

Napanguso agad ako sa sinabi nito. Wala man lang ka-support-support sa katawan, parang hindi ako kaibigan.

But she's right anyway.

"Why can't you just suppor—"

"Uh— please..." she snorted over the phone. "I don't support homewrecker. Even if you are my friend I'll still sapak-sapak you in the head."

"Sabi ko nga." I sighs. "Fine, see you tomorrow."

"Good. You take care, Frei." she bid.

Pagkatapos ng pag-uusap namin ay napagdesisyunan ko ng mag-ayos ng gamit lalo na't alas 4pm na ng hapon at alas 8pm ang flight ko pabalik ng Italy.

And knowing Manila, it's traffic.

Nang matapos na ako mag-ayos ng gamit ko ay bumaba na rin ako ng hotel. Kailangan ko pang puntahan si Mallory sa Cromwell University para magpaalam dito.

Pagkarating ko sa CU ay agad akong pinapasok ng guard sa gate, naka-register na ang plate number ng sasakyan ko dito. Nang makarating na ako sa parking lot ay natanaw ko na si Mallory, may kasama itong bata.

Sabi niya kanina na sa parking lot nalang kami magkita.

Bumaba na ako ng sasakyan at sinalubong siya ng yakap at halik sa pisngi.

"Hey, Frei. This is Kavya, my student." pakilala ni Mallory sa batang kasama nito. Nahihiyang inabot naman ng bata ang kamay niya.

"I'm Ruelle Kavya po." ang cute ng boses nito, she really looks like a barbie, like what Mallory told us before.

Inabot ko ang kamay nito saka nakipag-kamay. "Hello, Ruelle. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." I smiled. "I'm Freirain but you can just call me Ate Frei."

"Nice meeting you din po, Ate Frei." she's smiling but her eyes held emotion that mirrors mine.

She's also suffering.

Oh, boy. I'm just hoping that my friend won't suffer in the end too.

Kumalas narin kami sa pakikipag-kamay kaya hinarap ko na si Mallory. "I'll go ahead now mandu, take care here, okay?" paalala ko sa kanya.

"Pft— mandu." mahinang bulong ni Ruelle pero narinig parin namin kaya sinamaan ito ng tingin ni Mallory.

"You saying something, Kavya?" hindi ko alam pumapatol pala sa bata ang isang 'to,

Literal.

Mabilis na umiling si Ruelle saka bahagyang umatras. "Nothing, Miss Kim." sagot nito saka napakagat ng bahagya sa kanyang ibabang labi.
