The Hymn of Red Asters - Freenbecky

Chapter 5

"She lost consciousness because her body didn't receive food since last night."

"What?"

"her body is not used on skipping meals.. at dala narin siguro ng pagod sa school or she stress out herself too much."

I woke up hearing teacher beth and the man who's wearing a long white gown talking, not far beside my bed

bed?

wait..

I roamed my eyes through the whole room and found out that this is not my house

Uupo na sana ako ng biglang pumasok si saro sa pinto kaya napahiga ako ulit at pumikit

Anong ginagawa nya dito?

"Someone wrecked her bike, then Fae found her crying before she fainted." she said

"Someone bullied her?"

"Ongsa and Sun are already suspended." she said

I took a deep breath and decided to get up and their gaze turns towards me

"I saw who did it." I blurted out

Lumapit si teacher beth sakin at umupo rin sa kama

"Gusto mo bang tawagan ko papa mo?" tanong nito at napatingin naman ako kay saro pero bigla itong umiwas ng tingin

"wag na po, okay napo ako.."

"don't worry teacher I will punish who did this kind of stuff." Saro said

"Thank you Mhasary, you can go home now."

"Pwede syang sumabay sakin pauwi." sabi nito na ikinagulat ko

"huh?"

"Mabuti pa Pat. para makapagpahinga ka ng mabuti sainyo."

"pero ma'am."

Teacher tapped my head and smiled at me

"You will be fine iha, you're safe with Mhasary."

pwede ba?

hmm pwede naman siguro kahit sa kalsada nya lang ako ibaba

pero pano kung magtanong sya kung bakit dun ako nakatira?

iba kasi ang address ko sa requirements

"What do you want to eat?."

"Anything."

"hmm why you always like that?"

Napatingin ako sakanya at nakasimangot pa ang mukha nya

dinala nya kasi ako dito sa isang resto. at hindi ko naman alam ang mga kinakain dito

I didn't expect that she's living this kind of life since yung aura nya parang pinabagsakan ng langit at lupa parang anytime sasabog sa galit

"what? I'm talking to you, are you afraid of me?"

I accidentally nodded then I shook my head vigorously to say no

she frowned and her jawline tighten

"I-ah ahm I have no money." I said and look down feeling shy about it.

I heard she sighed deeply

"Raharjho, chicken carbonara please for two with orange juice."

I looked at her at kinabahan ng sobra

"My treat."

I shook my head and she just glared at me

"Teacher beth said you need a job?"
