Kissing the Agony (Agony Series #1)

Chapter 29: Unfinished Business

"H-How are you here? Why are you here?" naguguluhan kong tanong sa kanya.

He looked at me with soft eyes and I can feel my knees wobbling because of it. He looked... hurt. He looked like he was longing for something or... someone.

Kaunting lakad niya lang ay nakalapit agad siya sa harap ko. I blinked my eyes as I breathed harshly too. I feel like I am going to faint!

Hiding hindi ko inaasahan na magkikita kami ngayong araw! Hindi ko nga rin naisip na magkikita pa kami ulit!

I left him without any explanation, so I was really expecting that he got so mad at me and he moved on from whatever we had back then so quickly!

Marahan niyang hinawakan ang aking siko at iginiya ako palapit pa lalo sa kanya. He looked at me soulfully... his eyes moved from my body, to my face, until his eyes locked on my lips.

I swallowed hard. Lumingon naman agad siya sa mga kasama ko. I glanced at my co-teachers and I caught them giggling, pinching each other's sides! Pinanlakihan ko sila ng mata para matigil sila dahil medyo nahihiya ako sa nangyayari.

I still couldn't believe he's here! In Manila! In front of me!

Tumikhim si Cyrus at ngumiti sa mga kasama ko. "Good afternoon po, mga Ma'am." He smiled then bowed his head, showing his respect towards my co-teachers.

Pinaypayan ni Teacher Felly ang kanyang sarili gamit ang kanyang kamay. Si Teacher Rona naman ay hindi matanggal ang ngisi sa kanyang labi. They looked so pleased that they were acknowledged by this handsome military man.

"Good afternoon po!" They greeted Cyrus back.

"Pwede ko po bang hiramin si Rhian? Medyo matatagalan po yata kami." He raked his hair with his long fingers.

I bit my lip and looked away. That was my favorite mannerism of his! He looks so much hotter whenever he does that!

Nagkatinginan ang mga kasama ko, malalapad ang mga ngiti at halatang kinikilig. Habang ako ay hindi pa rin makapaniwala sa mga nangyayari kaya nakakunot lang ang noo ko, o di kaya ay nag iiwas ng tingin sa katabi ko.

"O-Oo naman po! Sige lang po, Sir!" si Teacher Felly na hindi manlang ako tinanong kung papayag ba akong sumama kay Cyrus.

"Ano ho bang pangalan niyo, Sir?" tanong ni Teacher Rona habang nakapangalumbaba sa lamesa at nakatitig kay Cyrus.

I know that this brute is handsome, and that his body and muscles in the right places and height probably added much factor to his charisma, but he's not that special! We're in the metro, and a lot of good looking guys are just around us. I don't know why Teacher Felly and Teacher Rona act as if Cyrus was the first handsome man they ever met.

Edi baka lalo silang maglaway niyan kung malalaman nila na parte ng Military Intelligence si Cyrus, at sobrang talino? Napairap ako sa kawalan. Hindi nila malalaman 'yon. Pang akin na impormasyon lang 'yon. I smirked at my thoughts.

"Cyrus Marquez po," ani Cyrus at mabilis na naglahad ng kamay sa dalawang kasama ko. Mabilis naman nilang tinanggap 'yon at ngiting ngiti pa rin.

"Teacher Rona po, co-teacher ni Teacher Rhian. Siya naman po si Teacher Felly." Itinuro ni Teacher Rona si Teacher Felly. Sabay silang humagikhik.

"Nice meeting you po." Ngumiti si Cyrus sa kanila.

Dahil ubos na siguro ang mga sasabihin nila sa isa't isa kaya sabay-sabay naman silang tumingin sa akin. Nagulat ako ron kaya mabilis akong tumikhim.

"Uh... Teacher Felly and Teacher Rona, mauna na po kami. Pasensya na at biglaan. Hindi ko na kayo maihahatid pauwi." Paumanhin ko, medyo nahihiya pa dahil medyo bastos ang biglaan kong pag alis.
