Chapter 18:His Treatment
Queen's POV
Maaga akong pumunta ng ESGU.Hindi ako umuwi sa condo ni Stone.I just don't feel like it. Bumuntong hininga ako dahil hindi pa siya dumating.I sent a message to Hawk that he should come early.Basta gusto ko lang may kausap.But he is not here yet.May biglang tumabi sakin.
"Why are you late Hawk--" Imbis na si Hawk ang inaasahan kong tumabi sakin nakita ko si Snow na nakangiting bumati sakin.
"Good morning Queen."
Sumagi sa isip ko ang ginawa niya kahapon. At ngayon hindi ko mapigilan ang sariling magalit.
"Why did you do that?!"
"Calm down Queen.Remember you are the one who let me do that."
I calmed down for a second. He has a point.Wait, bakit ako nagagalit? That is nothing.Yeah nothing.
"Does the thing that I have done to you make the situation worst between you and Stone?"
'No. You even help me found out that he actually likes me.And I just don't know what I feel, I don't know I can't explain.'
"Queen?"
"N-no.It's nothing." I said. Hindi ko namalayang lumipad ang isip ko. Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha ni Snow.
"Well, If you feel bad about what I did to you, I apologize Queen." Sincere na wika niya.
"You don't need to.Okay lang yun hindi ko lang ine-expect na hahalikan mo ko--" he suddenly cut me off, at bigla akong natigilan sa narinig ko.
"What if I say, I like you Queen."
It took me seconds to reply.
"I don't know what will be my response Snow.You know that I have a fiancée."
Why I am feeling defensive. At hindi ko alam kung bakit na may fiancée ako ang lumabas sa bibig ko.Baka isipin niyang loyal ako kay Stone.Iisipin ko pa lang, 'Impossible!!' Kinalma ko mona ang sarili ko at nag-isip ng mabuti.
"Gusto kita Snow bilang kaibigan."
He gave me a slight smile.
"I know that would be your answer.It seems that you love Stone that much--"
"You're wrong! I don't love him at all!!"
Malakas na pagtanggi ko habang lumalaki yung dalawang mata ko sa pagkagulat sa sinabi niya. Nagulat naman si Snow sa reaksyon ko.
'Love?!! I can't describe myself falling for that guy. It will never happen!'
Biglang dumating ang mga kaibigan ni Stone pati siya.
"I need to go to my seat. Your fiancée is here.I don't want to make trouble to the both of you." Bago pako nagsalita ay umalis na siya at pumunta sa seat niya.Tatawagin ko sana siya ng may umupo sa tabi ko. Finally Hawk is here.
"You are finally here--"
I froze for a moment when I saw Stone seating beside me.
"Good morning babe." Malumanay na aniya.
I feel a shiver down my spine when I hear him calling me that endearment.
"Don't call me that. It is not my name! At tyaka ang laswa pakinggan." Nandidiring comento ko. Nakita ko ang inis sa mukha niya. Ano kaya ang nakain ng lalaking to.
"Okay.Then goodmorning my fiancée." Then he smiled in a normal way.
Bigla akong tumahimik sa narining ko. I suddenly feel butterflies on my stomach.W-what did I say? Let me correct myself, hindi ako kinilig okay, I was just surprise that he smiled at me normally not with the usual grumpy face of his. At wala ako sa posisyong kiligin.
Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin.
"Sorry kung hindi ako umuwi kagabi." nakuha ang atensyon ko sa sinabi niya. I am expecting that he will be thinking why I didn't spent the night in his condo, our condo.But that is not the point. Why is he telling me about it? Ine-expect niya bang naghihintay ako sa kanya. At ngayon ko pa narinig sa mismong bibig niya ang salitang 'sorry'.
"We have fun with my friends last night and we drink some but I can't handle my liquor then I became drunk." Patuloy na sabi niya habang ako ay naaasiwa na sa pakikitungo niya sa akin.
"I don't care kung nasaan ka kagabi. Hindi ako interesado." Malamig na tugon ko.
"Okay." Napalingon naman ako kaagad sa kanya sa sagot niya.
Then I see him smiling again but it didn't affect me at all.Irritation is written all over my face habang inuusisa ng isipan ko ang kakaibang pangitungo sa lalaking kaharap ko ngayon.Baka mali ang pagkaintindi niya sa sinabi ko sa kanya kahapon.
"Kumain ka na ba?" kaswal na wika niya.
"Oo." Diin na sagot ko.
"Nakatulog kaba ng maayos?" sunod na tanong niya. Hindi ako sumagot dahil sa inis na nararamdaman ko ngayon.Is he mocking me of what I did to him yesterday? Hindi ko siya sinagot.
"Let's talk outside. I have something to tell you." Kaswal na tugon ko sa kanya habang pinipigilan ang inis ko.Tumayo ako at lumabas. At ng makalabas na kaming dalawa ay walang santo-santong inilabas ko lahit ng galit at inis ko.
"So what is it you want to talk about Que--?"
"Can you stop acting like you are kind to me!" Malamig na putol ko sa kanya ngunit hindi parin nagbago ang inosenteng ngiti sa mukha niya.
"Bakit naman,what's wrong with being kind?Talagang mabait naman akong tao ah.Nagkataon lang nauuna ang inis ko.Bakit hindi mo ba gusto na mabait ako sayo?"
"There is no time for me to listen of one of your jokes. Neither you do this to mock me nor to change my mind just knock it off!" Hindi naman ako nahirapan pang ipaitindi ang ibig kong sabihin at kitang-kita ko ang paglukot ng noo niya.He didn't say any words.
"Kung iniisip mong magugustuhan kita dahil sa mabait ka, itigil mo nayan. Ito ang tandaan mo. Hinding-hindi ako magkakagusto sayo." Diniinan ko talaga ang limang salitang yun sa kanya. And there he became serious and furious and said those words which I don't want to hear but then I stood in front of him frozen, when I hear those forbidden words.
