UNSOLVED MYSTERIES: William Myriad

21

William POV

As we enter the academy, a thing caught our attention, especially Leila. She is confused of the sudden murmurs. I think, she is trying to deduce that the murmurs are all pertaining to a new crime scene.

But upon hearing some of the girls' scream, realizing some goosebumps or what, I doubt that this is a new crime to solve.

I didn't bother to ask or accompany Leila to her room just to find out what is really happening.

As I run towards the direction where the crowd is, I also saw Leila and her friend Crystal, having their chitchat.

I was confused of the sudden reaction of Leila and the blushing face of the girl, Crystal.

I tried reading their lips. However, Crystal did not understand what Leila is saying. Instead, she grabbed Leila's arm and head their way to where the crowd is.

I follow them, and I was shocked, at the same time. . . .

Irritated. I don't know why

Leila POV

"Leila, it's been a long time."

B-Bakit? Anong ginagawa niya dito?

"H-Hey?"

Nag-transfer ba siya dito? Bakit ganon? Di ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko.

"Leila!" He hugged me, tightly.

Nanlaki ang mata ko at tinulak siya.

"What t-the!? What are you doing here!?" I shouted. Wala na akong pakialam kung maraming estudyanteng nakapalibot sa amin.

Nilingon ko si Crystal na takhang takhang nakatitig sa akin at sa lalaking nasa harapan ko na yumakap sa akin.

"M-Magkakilala k-kayo?" Turo niya sa amin.

"W-Wait Crystal let m-me explain."

Nagulat ako ng biglang tumili si Crystal. Nasundan rin ito ng nakabibinging tilian ng mga haliparot na lalaki.

"Goshh! Leila, pakilala mo naman ako." Namumulang sabi ni Crystal.

Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang lalaking nakangisi sa harapan ko.

I admit, he is handsome, ma-appeal, matangkad, matipuno. Ang laki ng pinagbago niya. Pero hindi ko maiwasang magalit dahil sa sakit na iniwan niya sa akin.

Hinarap kong muli ang lalaking unang nagpatibok ng puso ko.

"What are you doing here?" Pilit akong kumakalma pero btid sa pagkakakuyom ng mga palad ko ang galit na nararamdaman ko sa lalaking ito.

"I am studying here, taking the same course as yours." Nakangisi pa rin niyang sagot.

"Same course as mine?how did you know?" I asked.

"I just know." Nagkibit-balikat siya.

Kasabay ng pagkibit-balikat niya ay ang pagtunog ng bell, senyles na malapit nang magsimula ang mga klase.

Pero bago matapos ang bell, lumapit sa akin ang lalaking iyon at may binulong.

"Also, I am here to bring you back, love." At umalis na siya.

Geez! That endearment! Malakas ang tunog ng bell pero dinig na dinig ko pa rin yun.

What are you doing here, Maxwell?

William POV

I felt like I was stabbed several times when I saw that man hugged Leila. I do not know him but I could see on his eyes that he has a feeling towards Leila.
