Behind The Shadows [On-Going]

Chapter 6

Chapter 6- Unwanted Visitor

Ayanessa's POV

Naglalakad na ako ngayon papasok ng university matapos iwanan si Henry.

Nailang ako because all eyes are on me. Well, probably because they can't recognize me or hindi lang talaga sila makapaniwala sa type ng damit na suot ko ngayon.

"Ate Aya!"

Damn, here she goes again. Running towards me like a retard.

"OMG Ate Aya! You look so pretty!" She exclaimed after wrapping her arms around me. Marahan ko siyang itinulak at naglakad na ng diretso.

"Ate Aya wait up!"

Napairap nalang ako as I felt her hand clinging on my shoulder, "Ate Aya, I'm on my way to the cafeteria to have some breakfast, wanna join me?" She offered which gave me an idea.

"Sure." I answered calmly and there she goes with the retard gestures again, jumping while clapping her hands. I didn't bother to say anything at hinayaan nalang siyang tangayin ako papuntang cafeteria.

"You go and order. I'll look for a table." I ordered her nang makapasok na kami sa caf. She giggled first before answering, "Aye! Aye! Ate Aya!" Then she went.

Actually, hindi naman talaga ako maghahanap ng table. I just used the opportunity to escape from her.

Hinintay ko munang makapila siya sa counter bago ko napag-isipang tumakbo palayo. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako papunta. All I know is that I have to get away from that sneaky kid.

Hinihingal akong tumigil nang mapansing medyo malayo-layo na'ko. I gasped for air first before scanning the whole place na kinaroroonan ko.

Doon ko lang napansin na nasa isang garden ako, the place looks so clean and peaceful. Inikot ko pa ang paningin ko at doon napansing located pala ito sa back building. So that explains why I've never been here before.

Naglakad-lakad ako at sinuri ang buong paligid. There are bleachers pero mahahalata mong wala nang gumagamit dahil medyo rusty na ang mga ito. May fountain din pero hindi na umaandar.

Napahinto ako sa isang napakalaking puno, I don't know what kind of tree is it pero isa lang ang nasisigurado ko, it's really beautiful.

I decided to sit down on the vermuda grass habang nasa ilalim ng puno. I rested my back on the tree and was about to close my eyes when something fell from above.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

I screamed at the top of my lungs dahil sa gulat. A man just fell from up above. Sinong hindi magugulat 'dun?!

I can still feel my heart pounding so hard habang nakatingin sa lalaking nakatalikod sa'kin ngayon. Pinapagpagan niya ang pants and t-shirt niya bago siya humarap sa'kin and I think my eyes just doubled it's size.

"K-Klein?"

I uttered still gasping for air nang makaharap na siya sa'kin.

He extended his arm to me na para bang tutulungan niya 'ko sa pagtayo. Absentmindedly, I accepted his hand and he began to lift me up.

"God Klein! You almost gave me a heart attack! What were you doing up there?!" I exclaimed nang medyo mahimasmasan na'ko still holding my chest.

He looked up and faced me with his very calm face once again, "Studying." Sabi niya sabay taas ng right arm niya holding some books.

With my mouthed half open, I looked at him and said, "Seriously? Ginawa mo talagang library 'yang puno. May lahing unggoy ka ba?" Tinuturo-turo ko pa 'yung puno habang sinasabi 'yun.
