He Is His Creation

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

LOGAN stood shock as he stare at the girl in his front who's Lucian calling Ate Iuhence.

He swallowed hard as he recognizes her little by little.

Siya yung Alexantha Iuhenceia Lazarro na nakilala niya noong Grade 7 days. But more mature and charismatic. Plus factor na rin yung pagbabago ng pangangatawan nito.

Tangina.

Nawala lang yung salamin 'tsaka pimples niya ay hindi na niya ito nakilala.

"Shookt ka 'no?" Lucian asked him while his arms are crossed in his chest and a smirk was plastered in his face.

Yea, he's definitely 'shookt' to the maximum level.

Iuhence cleared her throat and changed her facial expression to blank－parang yung hitsura ni Logan kanina habang kaharap siya, "'No, hindi kita iniiwasan', 'why would I? I don't know you, Miss. So I think there's no reason to avoid you or to approach you either'." panggagaya nito sa sinabi niya kanina pagkatapos ay humagalpak ng tawa.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Seryoso, Logan? Ang tarush mo pala kapag may estranghero kang kaharap ano?" she asked with amusement and at the same time, with a sarcastic remark.

Lucian stared at her with confusion, "What was that?"

"Sinabi sa akin ni Logan 'yon the moment na in-approach ko siya. Akala ko makikilala niya ako but he showed me his guarded self. Parang nakita ko ulit yung Logan Riley na hindi ko pa-ka-close noon at isang co-staff ng school paper." sagot ni Iuhence at saka napailing habang nakangiti.

Lucian nodded, "What a surprise to me. Ikaw pala yung tinutukoy niyang babae na kung na-sexually attract siya,"

Doon nabalik sa huwisyo si Logan nang banggitin 'yon ni Lucian.

"...'yon yung dahilan kung bakit kami nagbayaga－"

Mas mabilis pa sa kidlat si Logan nang lumapit siya kay Lucian at tinakpan ang walang prenong bibig nito.

Iuhence turned her head to Logan with confusion plastered in her face.

Logan laughed awkwardly, "Ahehehe, 'wag mong intindihin yung sinasabi ni Lucian. Oo nga pala, congratulations sa show ninyo. Ang ganda promise, and oh! Ang hot mo pala kanina kaya medyo nag－"

Logan stopped when he noticed the words coming from his mouth. He cussed underneath his breath.

He felt that Lucian's chuckling while he's still holding his mouth.

"Told 'ya," sambit ni Lucian nang alisin na niya ang kamay ni Logan, then he sighed with a smile, "Akala ko nagnasa ka na sa ibang babae habang may mahal ka pa. But it turned out na sa bandang huli ay sa iisang babae lang pala talaga ang atensyon mo,"

Logan scratched his nape awkwardly. Ipiniling niya rin ang ulo sa ibang direksyon dahil hindi man lang siya makatingin kay Iuhence.

"Sorry," he said and pursed his lips.

Iuhence wanted to laugh at the moment but he prohibited herself. Dapat niyang seryosohin ang sitwasyon.

"Pakunswelo ko na sa'yo 'to, Logan." sambit niya kaya naman tumingin si Logan sa kaniya.

"I changed myself for the better para wala namang masabi ang iba sa'yo."

"What do you mean?" sabay na tanong ng magkapatid.

"Pinapangarap ka ng mga kababaihan dito at maswerte ako dahil napunta sa akin ang atensyon mo," then she chuckled, "Gusto kong mapantayan yung imahe mo para 'di naman ako magmukhang asong pasunod-sunod sa'yo. Ni minsan ay hindi ako na-conscious sa hitsura ko. I'm ugly, period. Masyado nang gasgas ang mga eksenang 'to but nerds or shit faces transform into golden maidens or gentlemen to prove that they're not just a rug around the perimeter. They have something to show off too. Pwedeng may ipanlaban dahil ang kagandahan ay nakatago lang naman. I groomed myself to reach your level. Ipinaayos ko yung buhok ko, natulog na ako ng maaga, sinanay ang sarili sa healthy lifestyle para ma-rehydrate ang skin ko at higit sa lahat, nagpa-laser ng mata para mabalik sa 20/20 ang vision ko just to say goodbye to glasses. Saksi si Lucian kung paano ko in-achieve ang image ko ngayon. Which my hard work was certified because of my expected reaction from you－na medyo naging exagge lang dahil tinarayan mo pa ako, but it's okay."
