Chapter 21
"Hey, girlfrien—"
"Shut the fvck up, Lowiee... shut the fvck up," Dafnhie angrily whispered to the man beside her.
"She's on her period," Lowiee joked to the cashier when the woman looked at them strangely.
They were at the mall to buy the materials Dafnhie needed for her project.
"Where do we go next?" he asked her.
"Dunno. Home?"
"Boring. How about a date?" Lowiee said with a wink.
Dafnhie shivered. "Fvck, that's so fuvcking cringy. Can you not?"
Nagulat na lamang si Dafnhie ng bigla syang akbayan ng lalaki. It's not unfamiliar, sa ilang linggong nagdaan na lagi silang magkasama, even though dinedeny nya ang pagiging touchy ng lalaki ay nasasanay na rin sya dito.
"Hey. Who would dare say no to the most handsome-hmmmp-" agad tinakpan ni Dafnhie ang bibig nito dahil alam nyang puro kayabangan na naman ang lalabas mula dito. Ngunit sa sarili ay hindi rin naman nya idedeny na totoo naman ang sinasabi ni Lowiee.
"WHAT THE-" Agad tinanggal ni Dafnhie ang kamay na nakatakip sa bibig nito. "Why the fvck did you lick me!?" malakas na sabi niya kaya naman napatingin ang tao sa paligid.
Gigil nyang tinignan si Lowiee at mabilis na lumakad papalayo dito dahil sa hiya.
"Why the fvck are you following me?" Matalim ang titig na ibinigay ni Dafnhie sa lalaking nakaupo habang ina antay nito ang order na coffee.
"Oh, look who's here. Ms. Angeles, how's your day going? Nice to see you outside the campus."
"Stop with your bullsht. Why the fvck are you following me?"
Hindi tanga si Dafnhie, ilang linggo nya na itong naobserbahan. Lagi nyang nakikita ang professor sa kanyang peripheral vision mapalabas man o loob ng campus. Ngayon kahit sa mall ay nandidito din ito.
"So you have noticed." nonchalant na sagot nito na akala mo ay hindi sya nahuli ni Dafnhie sa akto.
Ilang minuto pa lamang ang nakalilipas simula ng maghiwalay sila ni Lowiee. Tumawag kasi ang kanyang Ninang Susie at may ini utos itong ipabili sa lalaki. Nag decide si Dafnhie na maghintay na lamang sa isa sa mga café sa mall dahil wala na sya sa mood maglakad. Pero hindi maalis sa pakiramdam nya na may sumusunod sa kanila ni Lowiee. Alam nyang may bodyguard ang parents nila na lagi nakasunod sa kanila, ngunit iba ang pakiramdam nya ng mga oras na yon.
Nakatingala ang lalaki kay Dafnhie mula sa inu upuan nito at si Dafnhie naman ay nakatayo sa harap nito.
"What do you want?" Dafnhie
"Nothing... Well, let's say I want something."
"Just tell me. Why is one of our university's professors following me outside campus? Huh? What do you need? Are you some sort of spy sent by my dad's enemy? Or one of those people trying to kiss my ass so I can whisper good things into my dad's ear for your own benefit?"
"How are you, Daf?"
"Natigilan siya nang tanungin siya nito. She suddenly felt a sense of familiarity from the question."
