His Property

Chapter 4 - Debt

Bago pa man tumunog ang alarm clock ko ay gising na ako.

Actually, hindi ako nakatulog kagabi. Balak ko na sanang matulog pa ulit pero hindi talaga ako makatulog because I keep thinking about that man na laging nandito sa kwarto ko.

I tried everything to fall asleep last night. I tried drinking milk, reading a book, and everything but I still can't sleep.

Ilang pounds na kaya yung eyebags ko? I slowly walked inside my bathroom para maligo at nakapag isip-isip na rin.

I decided that I shall talk to him later. After I took a bath, I brewed some coffee, ate my breakfast and drank two cups of coffee to keep me awake, hopefully.

I checked my wall clock and I'm definitely running late.

Luckily, five minutes late ako pero wala pa si Ms. Gomez and after another five minutes, she came.

"Attention Class, I'm sorry for being late"

Tinawag niya ang atensiyon namin and says that she's sorry because she's late and stuff.

I should be the one standing there but thanks to our adviser, I'm not late.

Nagsimula nang mag-discuss si ma'am at muntikan na rin akong makatulog habang nagtuturo siya sa harap pero buti na lang I came back to my senses and listened to her.

The coffee's working...somehow

It's already breaktime but I don't see Coli anywhere. Pumunta na akong garden, canteen, and even to his room but I can't find him.

Dito ko napag alamang isa siya sa pinaka mayamang estudyante dito sa academy and yet kinaibigan niya ako.

I'm so lucky. Tinignan ko ang phone ko and still no reply from him. Maybe busy lang talaga siya with his dad. I guess I shouldn't bother him.

Umupo na lang ako sa canteen at naalala kong wala pala akong baon. Argh... Matutulog na lang muna ako dito.

"Well, well, well. Would you look at this whore oops I mean girl sleeping here"

May narinig akong nagsabi. I didn't bother to look up kasi malay ko ba kung ako.

"Hey! We're talking to you don't be rude!"

At bigla na lang hinila ang buhok ko ng isa sa babae.

"What do you want?" Tinaasan ko sila ng kilay.

People were looking at us and I can hear them whispering like

'Oh no! The queen has another victim again'

'kung ako susunod na lang ako sakanila at hindi lalaban. Nakakatakot kaya sila'

"You have the guts to talk to me?"

Tinaasan na niya ako ng boses.

"Well of course? Malay ko ba kung anong maling nagawa ko sainyo bakit ako hawak ng isa sa mga tauhan mo?"

I sarcastically answered her.

"Well for your information, I'm the queen of this campus, Cindy, and every girl here should obey me and yet here you are sinasagot-sagot ako"

Madami na talagang tao ang nakatingin sa'min dito sa canteen.

"Well for your information din,
I don't care who you are! And who are you? The queen?"

Lumingon ako sa ibang estudyante sa canteen.

"Really? Is this your queen? For all I know, ang queen ay hindi nakiki level sa lowlife na katulad ko"
Hindi ko hahayang maapi ako.
