Perfect Strangers [Somi x Samuel]

[20]

Samuel's P.O.V.

Nabalik na sina Ennik at Hansol kanina. 

Natapos na rin yung vacant namin.

Balik klase na naman.

Pero Ennik has been spacing out.

I can't bring to tell her e.

That I know that something happened between those two.

I'm mad, but I can't stay mad at Ennik.

I know I can't.

~~~

Natapos na yung klase at uwian na.

"Mauna ka na" Ennik rose from her seat and packed her stuff.

"Saan ka pupunta?"  She stopped what she was doing and looked at me.

"May meeting lang ang Student Council" Tumango naman ako at tumalikod na siya sa akin.

"Hintayin nalang kita" She stopped at her tracks.

"'Wag na" She left me alone at the classroom.

Kahit na sabi niyang ma-una na ako, I waited for her at the car.

~~ 

8 na ng gabi. 'Di ko parin nakikita si Ennik.

Matapos ng 20 minutes. May nagsi-labasan na mga estudyante mula sa Student Council Building.

Sila na siguro yun.

Lumabas ako sa sasakyan.

Napansin naman ako nina Daehwi.

"Oh, Muel. Ba't andito ka?" Tanong naman ni Kyulkyung.

"Hinintay ko lang si Ennik" An evil smile appeared to all of their faces.

"Asan si Ennik?" Tanong ko naman sa mga kumag na 'to. Kung maka-asar.

"Nandun pa ra Building. May aasikasuhin pa daw" Napatango naman ako and headed my way to the building. Pero bago pa naman ako makalapit sa building ay tinawag ako ni Sejeong.

"Muel!" Napalingon naman ako nito. "Ang swerte ng best friend ko sa'yo" Napangiti naman ako at tuloyan ng pumunta sa building.

Nangmakapasok ako sa kanilang conference room. Naabutan ko si Ennik na nakahiga sa mesa.

Nangmalapitan ko ito ay mahimbing itong natutulog.

"I'm sorry, I got angry at you" I caressed her cheeks. 

"You know I love you so much, despite all your imperfections" Napa-upo naman ako sa tabi niya. 

Napatingin naman ako sa mala-bundok na papel sa mesa.

"I wish you won't overwork yourself," I looked at her beautiful face.

"Because it hurts me" 

So much.

And then again, I swam much deeper in the realms that I once avoided.

The realms of love.
