"Five minutes left. Wrap up your answer including your solution."
Once again, I cursed inside my mind. But I'm somehow relieved na nasagutan ko lahat ng item. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung tama ang mga sagot ko. Melly is also extra quiet but I didn't pressed further.
Melly is a very talkative and expressive person. Kaya kung may mga bagay na hindi niya masabi sa akin o kay Dior malamang ay gusto niyang sarilinin muna o di kaya ay hindi pa siya handa.
Sa sandaling makalabas kami ng classroom ay nagpa-alam na agad si Melly. Ngumiti ako at tumango habang tumatakbo siya palabas. I went to the parking and checked my phone first.
Brent:
Is today your last day of exam?
Brent:
You want ice cream?
Brent:
Busy?
Bumuntong-hininga ako. He keeps on texting. Alam ko naman na normal para sa kanya ang hindi makatanggap ng reply galing sa akin. I'm not a text type of person. It's been three days since I saw him on the same restaurant we had our lunch.
I'm very much confused why it bothered me na hindi niya ako nakita doon. Maybe, my ego was crushed a little. Nang maupo ako ng sandaling iyon ay gulo akong pinakatitigan ng mga kasama ko. I smiled at them and shook my head. Pero habang kumakain ay naroon ang isipan ko sa kanila ng kasama niya.
Bakit kailangan doon pa kakain?
Baka may meeting? Or maybe she's the date he's talking last time? Or is she the girlfriend already? Dahil I found my tantrums nonsensically ay nagtype ako ng reply.
Katatapos lang ng exam namin. Bakit?
No. He told me that date is non-existent. Baka ngayon ay meron na talaga? Fuck. I don't care. Ano naman? Tama lang yun dahil ang tanda na niya.
Whatever. I'm happy he's got a girlfriend. I've never seen him close to any woman, or atleast when I'm around? I played an upbeat song on the way home. Dior is coming to London this sembreak while I don't know what I would be doing. Melly said she'll take a vacation with her family on their resort at Galera.
Nagbihis ako ng sports wear ko and plan to do light workout. Isang linggo rin akong natengga at puro review. I signed in to the logbook before setting up the thread mill. Isinuot ko ang earpods at tsaka nagsimulang tumakbo.
In my mind I was singing with the song playing on my ears. Half an hour passed by and I'm full of sweats already. Inihinto ko lang ang thread mill nang makita ko sa harapan si Brent na nakakrus ang braso.
"Why are you here?" tanong ko bago tinanggal ang nakasalpaksa tainga at nilagpasan siya papunta sa gamit ko.
"You're not replying. Bakit ka pa nagcellphone?" his brows are furrowed.
"One. You know I don't reply often. And second. I replied to you earlier." sagot ko. I walked towards the bean bag near the column kung san malapit ang boxing ring at naupo doon.
"No, you didn't." balik niya, ngayon ay nakatayo na sa harapan ko.
Kumunot ang noo ko tsaka dinampot ang cellphone para patunayan na nagreply nga ako. I raised my brow too, ready to throw a fight kung hindi ko lang nakita na kulay pula ang message na reply ko sa kanya.
"I replied." iniharap ko sa kanya ang cellphone at bahagya siyang yumuko para sipatin iyo. "But I don't have load pala so you didn't received it." he snorted at me.
