"Penny for your thoughts?”
Napatingin ako bigla sa may ari ng boses sa likuran ko.
Si Blue, he is smiling at me, the smile that will turn your world upside down.
But right now walang effect saakin yung ngiti nya, dahil feeling ko it’s not a genuine smile. Sino ba naman kasi ang matutuwa na mag babysit ng isang babaeng ‘weak’ instead na kasama nya ang girlfriend nya he is stuck with me, because he has no choice..I’m his obligation after all.. according to him.
I feel bad for him, he is Yuan Zobel..every girls' dream..famous, rich and dangerously handsome..yet he can’t do anything but to stay in a low profile because of me.
“Hi” I said while trying to smile.
“Kanina ka pa ba dito? Sorry if I was late, I just took care of some serious stuffs.” He said then naupo sya sa harapan ko.
“It’s okay.” I said then I look away.
“What do you want to eat?”
Bago ko pa masabi kung ano ang gusto kong kainin ay biglang nag ring yung phone nya.
“Excuse me, I’ll just take this.” He said. Nakakunot ang noo nya habang nakatitig sa screen ng cell phone nya. Bigla syang tumayo at lumayo saakin which is weird, dahil he used to answer his phone calls even if we are sitting beside each other.
I suddenly felt nervous. I don’t know why.
That call must be…..
I decided to stand up and walk towards him. At dahil sa nakatalikod sya at nakafocus ang atensyon nya sa kausap nya, hindi nya napansin ang paglapit ko.
“Nicole…please you have to understand…what?! Okay..okay…I’ll go there, wait for me.”
Si Nicole.
I knew it.
Si Nicole ang kausap nya.
Ang importanteng tawag na ayaw nyang marinig ko, ay tawag ni Nicole.
Bigla akong napahawak sa dibdib ko, I feel bad..really bad.
I decided to go back to where I am sitting. Then later on Blue joined me. He look annoyed.
“Crimson..I’m sorry I need to go, something came up, pinapatawag ako ni Daddy.”
Napakuyom ang kamay ko, he is nothing but a Liar! I tried to look away as I swallowed hard. Ayokong Makita nya ang pamumuo ng luha ko. I need to calm down.
“S-sure, go a head.” I said without looking at him, ayoko syang makitang umaarte at nagsisinungaling.
“Hey, are you mad?” he asked then he took my hand but I pulled it away from him.
I turn to look at him.
“I’m fine, puntahan mo na ang DADDY mo!” talagang pinagdiinan ko yung DADDY sakanya.
“Look I’m really sorry, I know nag promise ako na di kita iiwan. It’s just that this is really important, it’s an emergency.” He said then tumayo na sya at kinuha nya yung gamit nya.
Yeah..she’s important! Nicole is Important! She’s the girlfriend after all!
“That’s why I said you can go ahead right?! Bakit ba nagpapaliwanag ka pa? Just go!” mahinahon pero may diin kong sabi.
Nakakunot ang noo nya, halatang gulat sa inasal ko.
He sighed.
“We’ll talk later Crimson.”
“No need.” I said then I grab my things and walk away.
