Sad Beautiful Tragic

Chapter 2

Analie Vasquez

One week had already passed at hindi ko pa ulit nakikita ang bagong seatmate ko. Ano na kayang nangyari dun? I bet umiiyak na yun at hinihiling sa parents niya na ibalik na lamang siya sa Spain.

I mean if I were him iiyak rin ako noh. Napakahirap kayang mag-adjust sa new environment at mahirap mag-adopt ng ibang cultures na hindi mo kailan man nakasanayan.

"Ana, mind if I'll seat beside you?"itinaas ko ang ulo ko at tinignan ang lalaking nagsalita. Uminit agad ang ulo ko pagkakita ko sa panget niyang mukha.

"What do you need Gino?"walang ganang tanong ko sa kanya.

"Gusto lang kitang kamustahin. I've been observing you since the day we broke up at napansin kong naging isang loner at tahimik na babae ka na. Ganun ba naging epekto ng break up natin sa'yo?"

Wow. Ang kapal ng mukha niya as if naman malaking kawalan ang paghihiwalay namin. Sinagot ko lang naman siya para may utusan ako.

I smiled sweetly."Ahhh, taas ng confident mo sa sarili mo noh? Don't you know that I didn't love you from the start? Man, don't get me wrong pero sinagot lang kita para may utusan ako and I guess hindi naman masama ang ginawa ko sa'yo dahil in the first place pinaglaruan niyo lang ako ng pinsan ko."

He gritted his teeth. Akala niya talaga malaki siyang kawalan sa akin. If they've think it was their game then they are wrong because it was my game and they were my toy. I am bad? Of course I am. I hate people who think they are cool and do stupid things to innocent one. I'm an angel and protector of innocent people. I'm also the angel who gives punishments to people who do evil things.

"Are you done talking with her?"oh it's so good to hear those nice spanish accent of his."If yes, do you mind to transfer to your seat and leave us alone."

Napablink ako sa sinabi niya. All of my classmates are now looking at us. Their eyes widen hindi yata sila makapaniwala sa narinig nila.

"Watch out, you don't know who I am."sabi ni Gino sa spanish guy.

"You don't know me either so you better watchout too."lumingon siya sa akin at ngumiti."Are you okay?"

W-what's with him? Hindi ko siya maintindihan ang hirap niyang basahin. Did he by any chance save me from Gino?

I nod."Yeah."I answered plainly. Lumingon ako kay Gino at pinandilatan siya ng mata."Narinig mo naman siguro sinabi niya diba? I think we are already done here, now move and go back to your seat."

"We're not yet done. Humanda ka sa'kin."sabi niya. Tapos tumingin siya kay Mr. Seatmate ko at tinuro ito."Lalong-lalo ka na."

We both shrug. Hindi naman kami parehong takot sa kanya. For me he's just an animal, a lifeless animal. Meaning he can't do anything bad to me like saktan ako physically.

"Should I thank you?"I asked my seatmate without glancing at him.

"I don't know try to ask yourself."wow what a nice answer I should give him an earful when he'll become my friend.

Wait, friend? As if that would happen. Halata namang hindi siya friendly na tao ang suplado kaya ng pagmumukha niya.

"Yeah, whatever."I said.

"What's your name?"he asked.

I rolled my eyes and smiled at him."I don't know try to ask yourself."I mimic what he said earlier.

"I'm serious. Now tell me what's your name."he demanded. Kanina lang nagtatanong siya tapos ngayon nagdedemand na ayus rin tong lalaki na'to ah.

"I'm Ana."
