Cupid's Heart

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: "Sorry"

“Lyka!”

          Naalimpungatan ako sa narinig kong sigaw ng isang babae. I opened my eyes and I saw Monica standing infront of me.

“Monica?” I said while rubbing my eyes.

          Biglang sumenyas sya sa akin na tumayo sa pagkakahiga. Sunod sunod ng pumasok yung ibang students sa cabin and then when they saw me, in unison silang sumigaw ng Uuyyyyyy!

          I sat up and saw Iñaki beside me. He was shyly smiling and scratching his hair. Tumayo agad ako at lumapit kay Monica.

“Ang kapal naman ng face mo BFF. Ginawa mo pang unan yung binti ni Iñaki.” Monica whispered to my ears.

          I don’t have to see myself to know that I am blushing at that time. Pumunta ako sa likod ni Monica when I saw Iñaki standing up. The last thing I remember I was staring at Iñaki’s face kagabi bakit nakaunan na ako sa binti nya? Weird!

“Escalante! You made everyone worried! Next time don’t wander around by yourself!” sigaw nung isa naming prof.

“As for you Mr. Herrero. Sa susunod wag magpapadalos dalos! Hindi mo man lang hinintay yung search party! I know how worried you are pero you should think straight first.”

Worried? Iñaki is worried about me?

Tumingin sa akin si Iñaki. I don’t know what his expression means but I chose to look away.

“Lyka! Pinag-alala mo ako!” Terrence said. Bigla nya akong hinatak at niyakap.

“Uuuyyyyyyyyyyy.” Naghiyawan na naman ang mga tao sa loob ng cabin.

“Swerte naman ni Lyka dalawang pogi pa ang nasungkit nya.” I heard one of the students said. Ano ako magnanakaw? Sungkitin ko kaya mata nya!

I saw Iñaki went out of the Cabin. Itinulak ko si Terrence palayo.

“Ano ka ba ang daming nakatingin Terrence.” I murmured to him.

“Hindi ako nakatulog kakaisip sayo. I tried to follow you pero pinigilan ako ng staff delikadao daw.” Terrence said. I saw sadness in his face. Mukkang nag-alala talaga ito ng sobra.

“Okay na ako Terrence. Wag ka ng mag-alala.” I softly said with a smile.

          When I went out I saw Troy and Iñaki talking to each other. Tumingin si Iñaki sa akin and then to Terrence who was beside me at that time.

Do you like Terrence?  I remembered his question last night. I don’t know if maayos pa ang gulo nilang dalawa ni Terrence but I hope it will be fixed. They are teammates at dapat walang gulo between them and as for his question if I like Terrence….hindi ko talaga alam kung paano ko sasagutin yun. At bakit ba sya nagtatanong? Tsismoso!

“Let’s go Lyka.” Terrence said and then inalalayan na nya ako paalis sa lugar na yun.

At my room….

“Magkasama kayo buong gabi ni Iñaki tapos ang sagot mo sa tanong ko kung anong nangyari ay WALA LANG?” Monica exclaimed.

          Madaming nangyari but I am too tired to tell Monica everything. Tinakpan ko ng unan yung mukha ko pero lumapit si Monica at tinanggal ito.

“Tell me what happened Lyka!” she exclaimed.

“Hinanap nya ako tapos nakita nya ako. Umakyat kami ng cliff tapos naghanap ng masisilungan tapos nakatulog ako and then after that I saw you.”
