The Boy Next Door (Completed)

Chapter 57

Mia’s Message: Yesterday, I opened my e-mail, and I was extremely shocked. I just can't contain my happiness. Nothing is final yet, but I have a surprise for everyone. I will announce it once everything is clear and settled. Dreams really do come true, and God never sleeps. It's an answered prayer.  

But before anything else, I want to say thank you. Thank you for everything, guys. You're one of the reasons I've received this blessing. 

P.S. If TBND would be translated into English, tatangkilikin niyo pa rin ba? *winks*

“So, what happened?” Panimula ni Philip.

Kasalakuyan kaming nasa cafeteria at nagla-lunch. Dahil wala akong gana, tinapay at juice lang ang inorder. Next week pa dapat sila papasok, pero dahil atat na silang malaman ang mga nangyari kahapon, naisipan nilang tatlo na pumasok ngayon. O sino’ng mga atat at chismosa?

Nilaro-laro ko ang straw habang nakahalumbaba.

"Tell us now!" Kaye said excitedly. 

I sighed irritably. “It happened so fast. Everything that happened yesterday was so… I don’t know. It’s perplexing. Naiinis ako kay Karl. Bakit siya ganoon? He lied to me.” I gritted my teeth. Bigla kong nilantakan ang sandwich at wala pang kalahating minuto ay naubos ko ito.

Gulat na gulat naman ang tatlo sa ginawa ko. Bakit ba? Gutom ang tao, e. Isama pa na matindi ang pinagdadaanan. Ganyan talaga.

“Wait lang, ‘te. Medyo kasi magulo kang magkwento ‘di ba? Pwede simulan mo at tapusin ang kwento para maintindihan namin at hindi kami itong parang tanga na nagsosolve ng Sudoku.” Nakaismid na sabi ni Kaye.

“Oo nga. We’re here to listen. “ Cess gave me a reassuring smile.

I looked at the three of them. They looked serious and sincere, willing to listen. Guess I have no choice.

I heaved a sigh before narrating the incidents.

Habang nagkwekwento ako ay tahimik lang silang nakikinig habang kumakain. Sinimulan ko ang kwento kung saan narinig ko ang pinagusapan ng mga babae sa CR, ng dalawang lalaki sa daan, ang adventure ko sa Forestry, ang pagkakita ko kay Mike at sa CW members, ang pagtatalo namin ni KJ, at ang confinement ni Mike sa infirmary.
