Chapter 20
The Prince Silvestre
Adah
"Hey!" I immediately plastered a smile on my face and raised the tone of my voice a bit para hindi niya mahalata ang kaba ko. "What's up?"
"Uhm... cousin, dito nga!" I did my best to keep my smile when she called her 'cousin', Prince. "Prince wants to apolog---" Dali daling lumapit si Prince at hinila papunta sa likod niya si Irish.
"I can speak for myself." Saka siya tumigil nang nasa harapan ko na. Humigpit ang kapit ko sa braso ni Aian. He saw that and for a moment, I thought I saw anger in his eyes but that's impossible. Pakiramdam ko'y lalabas na ang puso ko sa sobrang lakas at bilis ng kabog nito. "I've got something to say... sa'yo lang."
Shit!
"O-Okay... ano yun?" I mean I get it but... ngayon pa talaga?
"In private, Adah." Naramdaman ko ang pagkalas ni Aian sa braso niya na hawak ko. "Gusto ka raw niyang solohin este--- makausap ng kayo lang."
Tiningala ko siya at tinignan ng masama. You can't do this to me!
"See you tomorrow, beh!" Masayang sabi ni Thea.
"Prince, ikaw na ang bahala sa kanya a." Ate Ella. "Pakihatid na rin pagkatapos."
I'm doomed!
"I will." Tango niya.
Sabay sabay na silang umalis nang may mga nakakalokong ngiti at wala akong nagawa dahil nakakahiya naman kung babalewalain ko si Prince sa mismong harapan ni Irish at siguradong pipigilan nila akong lahat sa oras na ginawa ko 'yon.
"I should go too." Tinignan ko si Irish. "Ingat kayo Adah, and COUSIN." Pagdidiin niya, halatang may gustong iparating.
I nodded and smiled back as she bid her goodbye. Alam ko na, tanga nga 'ko, aminado naman ako dun.
I stared at her hanggang sa mawala siya sa paningin ko. I'm not ready to face reality yet, which is just a few inches from me... watching my every move.
"Stop staring at her. Simula ngayon pinagbabawalan na kitang maging tomboy." Napawi kaagad ang ngiti ko nang nagsimula na naman ang bibig niyang peste. His hands are now inside his pockets while standing smugly in front of me.
"What do you want?" Tanong ko nang hindi siya tinitignan.
"I'm sorry for annoying and bothering you earlier... hindi ko mapigilan." Prince.
Geez. Anong klaseng dahlan 'yon? And I'm not annoyed because of his presence! Iniwasan ko lang siya dahil ang akala ko'y may girlfriend siya. Because it's wrong that we're alone together kung may crush ako sa kanya!
