TASTE OF HER VENOM
Chapter 18: Tree House







My mind is wandering in my core when I felt like someone was watching me. Regressing my eyes at my professor, nahuli ko siyang nakatitig na sa'kin.

"Is there anything wrong, professor?"

Inilipat niya ang tingin sa harapan bago sumagot, "Why didn't you finish watching my performance yesterday?" usisa niya na hindi ko inaasahan.

"I did. I even tried approaching you kaso naunahan lang ako"

May pagtatakang ibinalik niya ang tingin sa'kin.

"Are you pertaining to Kinsley?"

My eyebrows instinctively creased upon remembering what we talked about yesterday. Hindi ko na tuloy nagawang sumagot dahil sa inis at tumayo na.

"Let's get back in the mansion. Paniguradong hinahanap ka na nila" I made my way toward her then lent my hand for a help.

She stared at my hand longer at tinanggap na lang din 'yun sa huli, mukhang napilitan pa.

I'm about to lead our way back in the house when I received a squeeze in my hand.

"Let's not go back in there just yet. I'm loving this place, gusto ko pang libutin"

"Iyong lugar lang ba, ma'am?" wala sa sariling tanong ko.

With a lifted eyebrow, she asked, "What?"

"Nevermind. Do you still want to have my company though?"

"You know what? Kung ayaw mo akong samahan, hindi kita pipilitin. I can take a stroll alone" she suddenly walked out kaya agad akong humabol.

Inagaw ko ang atensyon nito sa pamamagitan nang paghablot sa kamay niya.

"It's too dangerous for you to walk alone. Syempre kailangan kasama 'yung anak ng may-ari" pabiro kong saad dahil pinipilit niyang hilahin 'yung kamay niya mula sa'kin.

We proceeded marching going to somewhere peacefully. It's too quiet around that the only sound we could hear are the bustling sound of leaves and chirping of birds. Sobrang relaxing, bonus na lang 'to dahil ang pinakamahalaga ay kasama ko ngayon si Ma'am Zera.

Actually, the anterior part of this hacienda is joint in this remote woodland. The whole property is inherited by my father from my great grandparents along with their businesses. Ilang taon na ang hacienda pero mukhang napapanatili pa rin ang maintenance nito. At some point of my life, I also aspired to have this in future para sana sa magiging pamilya ko but I don't think I'm destined to build my own family. I can't even handle myself tapos lalandi pa ako? Kapal naman ng mukha ko.

Maya-maya ay naramdaman ko na lang ang pagtigil ng propesora.

"Why, ma'am?"

"My feet feel sore" mahinang sambit nito.

My gaze dropped in her feet and I noticed one of her heels got broken already. Agad akong lumuhod para tingnan 'yon.

"Ma'am, bakit hindi mo sinabing nasira na 'to? We should go back na bago pa mamaga 'yang paa mo" suhestyon ko rito but she just shook her head with her lips slightly pouted. Dang she's so adorable!

"Ayoko pang bumalik. Hindi ba sabi mo may pupuntahan pa tayo?"

Napatitig na lang ako sa bughaw niyang mga mata. Akala ko ba masakit ang paa niya?

"How about your feet?"

"Don't mind it. Please, I want to stay" pagpupumilit niya kaya wala na akong nagawa.
