LOVELY MESS

Chapter 57 Evil Faced to Geeky looking Girl

Ken (POV)

I'm still on the state of shock at nawala lang ito ng nagsalita si Fhilea na siya ay gutom na. It's still a question for us on how can she switch her mood from an evil faced bitch to a geeky sweet little girl.

Sinundan ko ito ng tingin habang hila-hila ni Mindy patungong sasakyan ni Clifford. Huminto ang mga ito sa gilid ng sasakyan at nilingon kami.

Up until now, I still can't forget the face she has when she looked at the guy on the motorcycle few minutes ago. The moment I heard Clifford scowled about her smoldering face makes me looked at her and damn! I felt goosebumps all over my body.

That kind of face where you cannot, literally, talk. That kind of stare that will makes you feel that you can't run away from her. That kind where you can't even hide. Worst, you will skip a breath.

She always have that presence when she glares. Not hearing her talk makes it more terrifying and fearsome. More reason that I want to know her more.

There's something more about her that not everyone knows. And I was thinking that even Clifford and Mindy doesn't know that.

Sometimes I feel like I was in the middle of a war when this kind of scenario happens. This kind of shit happens. And believe it or not, I'm starting to think that she's somehow our superhero.

'Really, Ken?' natatawang bulong ng isip ko at nagulat na lamang ng hinarap kami nito.

"You guys coming?" taas kilay na tanong ni Fhilea. Tiningnan niya kaming dalawa ni Brad at mukhang sa itsura nito ay hindi ito makakapaghintay ng isasagot namin.

Magsasalita na sana ako ng biglang magsalita si Vlad sa may likuran. Bahagya nitong nilapitan sila Clifford at iniwan ang lalaking kanina'y nagtangka lamang sa kaniyang buhay.

"Where are you going?" tunog na galit na tanong nito at matiim na tiningnan si Clifford na kakabukas lang ng pinto ng kaniyang sasakyan.
Kunot noo siyang tiningnan ng kapatid at alanganin nitong nilibot ang paningin sa amin.

"Ah.. We're going to eat?" sarkastikong sagot ni Clifford sa kaniya.

Agad na nagiba ang timpla ng mukha ni Vladimir sa naging sagot nito. Naguumpisa ng mamula ang mukha nito. Iniwas ko ang aking tingin dahil baka matawa ako. Sa mga ganitong sitwasyon kasi na namumula ang mukha ni Vlad ay halatang napipikon na ito at daig pa ang kamatis sa pula ng ilong.

Nilingon ko si Brad sa gilid ko at nasundan kong papalapit na ito sa kaniyang sasakyan. Siya namang lapit samin ni Mr. Montejo matapos makipagusap sa kaniyang cellphone kani-kanina lang.

"Hija, don't you think it's not safe to go after what happened?" nababahalang tanong nito kay Mindy na alangan na nagpalipat ng tingin kay Fhilea at Clifford. Hindi sumagot si Mindy at Clifford. Sabay na naglanding ang tingin ng mga ito kay Fhilea.

While the normal Fhilea just plaster her pokerface while she look at her friends and wait for an answer, which, no one does. She then look straight towards Montejo,

"Do you prefer us to die hungry?" pilosopong sagot nito sa matanda.

Pinigilan kong matawa. Pansin ko din na nagtikom lang ng bibig si Clifford habang si Mindy ay yumuko na lamang. I also heard Brad snickers for a quick second at agad na nagiwas ng tingin.

'How can she even talk to Montejo like that?' anang isip ko na kuryoso man ay mas nangingibabaw ang pagka aliw.

Mabilis kong nilingon si Montejo at ito man ay napakamot na lang sa ulo at piniling hindi na lang sumagot sa kaniya.

"What? No! No!" mabilis na kontra ni Vlad sa naging reaksyon ni Montejo. Agad nitong sinalubong ng tingin si Fhilea.
"My brother is not going anywhere without me! If you're hungry, you eat by yourself. He's not coming with you." angil nito kay Fhilea at walang reaksyon lang siya nitong tiningnan. Ngumisi ito sandali at sinulyapan si Clifford na nasa pintuan lamang ng driver's seat.
