P.S. Don't Love Me

Chapter 7

YANA'S POV:

Day 15

"So yun nga, hindi man lang nya ako tinanong kung ano yung gusto ko. Ikaw ba, gugustuhin mo yung ganong boyfriend?" narinig kong sabi ni Ate Yumi but I just ignored her. I was busy checking the front door every now and then.

Hindi ko alam pero paggising ko kanina, bigla akong kinabahan tapos yung girlfriend ko, yes, girlfriend, ehem, hindi sya nagrereply sa messages ko and hindi pa sya sumasagot sa mga tawag ko.

"Sabi ko na nga ba. Hindi ka talaga nakikinig. So, bakit parang hindi ka mapakali dyan?" she asked me nung hindi ako sumagot sa kanya.

"Nothing." I told her nonchalantly. I just didn't want her asking me questions, AGAIN.

"As if. You're checking every person who's entering the front door. So, what's eating you? Well, not literally. I'll know the answer na rin kasi if ever." she told me smirking.

AGAIN, I ignored her comment. I'm really worried about Sofia.  Well, besides Steve and Ate Yumi, first time kong nakaramdam ng ganitong pag-aalala sa isang tao and hindi ko alam kung matutuwa pa ako or masstress na naman.

"She's not going to school today." I automatically looked at Steve when he said that. How did he know?

"Who?" asked Ate Yumi.

Steve just looked at me and after non, tumango-tango na si Ate Yumi. At nagets nya agad, congratulations!

"How'd you know?" she asked again. Well, I should've been the one asking that question pero parang mas interesado si Ate Yumi na malaman kung bakit kaya I let her be.

"Sofia is sick. I've my first class with her, remember? Her mother called Mrs. Quintin to inform her. Well, that's what I heard. She won't be in school today." tumingin sila pareho sa akin dahil nakatulala lang ako.

Okay lang kaya si Sofia? May nag-aalaga kaya sa kanya? Uminom na kaya sya ng gamot? May ibang kailangan pa kaya sya? Papa'no kung puntahan ko sya, matutuwa kaya sya?

"Babe?" I heard Steve called kaya natigil ako sa pag-iisip.

"Huh?" I asked him pero wala pa rin ako sa sarili.

"Where did you go?" he asked. "Are you still
with us?"

Ipiniling ko yung ulo ko.

"Sorry. I was just wo--worshiping your shirt. Yeah, that's it." Steve looked at me as if I grew a beard. Was I about to tell them that I was worried about Sofia? And why didn't she tell me? I'm her girlfriend diba?

"Worried. She was about to say worried but because of her ego and pride, she didn't want us to know about that." pag-eexplain naman ni Ate Yumi so I sinamaan ko sya ng tingin. Kailangan nya talagang sabihin pa yon?

"Oh I see. Got it. So, we'll just pretend that Yana Babe's not worried even if her future girlfriend is sick." sabi pa ni Steve while nodding.

Napapikit lang naman ako habang nag-iisip kung ano yung gagawin ko. Silang dalawa, nakatingin lang sa akin habang nakangiti na parang hinihintay din kung ano yung gagawin ko.

Well, since nandun naman yung Mom nya, hindi na naman nya ako siguro kailangan. Wala nga syang text or tawag man lang right? If she needed me, she could've sent me something diba?

Umiling lang ako at naglakad papunta sa next class ko pero parang may sariling buhay yung mga paa ko dahil bigla na lang silang bumalik at naglakad papunta sa may front door.
