Wicked Her

Kabanata 32

"Anong meron?" Tanong ko. Hindi ko magawang huminga dahil sobrang kaba.

Bakit sya ang kasama ko?

But this is good.

Mamatay ka sa inggit Emily. She sould've have seen us. It's like were having a date.

No Ara. It's not a freaking date!

"Jusy want a stroll." He said without looking at me. His eyes is roaming around. Napatingin ako sa balikat nya, down to his bisceps. I bit my lower lip, his body's kinda mature for his age. "Just wanna show you San Andress."

"I've have seen San Andress. The most popular places and the best place." Pagmamayabang ko.

"You went with Chad?" Tanong nya. Tumango ako. "Wow! I'm jealous." He joked so I laughed. I shook my head smiling. My heart is racing si fast I don't even know why!

"You were with Emily with those time." I said wiyhout looking at him. "Kung wala si Emily tayo siguro ang close noon kasi ikaw naman yung crush ko noon." Tumawa pa ako.

What am I even saying?

It doesn't make any sense!

Hindi sya kumibo kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. I saw him smiling, amusement is always in his eyes whenever I look at him.

"You're so straight to the point." Amused na saad nya.

"I just dont like to waste time." Oh my God! I dont really make any sense!

Duh. I always waste time.

"If there's no Emily at that time, then I'll be just your friend." He's actually honest. I'll give him that. "You should thank Emily." I wrinkled my forehead.

"Why should I?" Tanong ko. He turned Sanmig so I followed him.

"Cause I wont come to your house." Saad nya.

"O-oh I see." The hell Ara! What kind of tone is that? Parang nawalan ka ng gana!

I sound so bitter!

"There's this myth." Tanong nya at hininto si Sanmig. Huminto kami sa ilalim ng malaking puno na puno ng kulay yellow na bulaklak. Tuwing bubugso ang hangin ay may malalaglag na ilan. Ang ganda. Ang paligid ay puno ng ganon.

"Anong kwento?" Ngumiti sya at itinabi ang dalawang kabayo. Hinila nya ako sa ilalim ng pinaka malaking puno kung saan may dalawang gulong na duyan. Pinaupo nya ako sa isa at umupo sya sa tabi ko. Nagsimula na naman yung puso kong kumalabog.

"There's prince who fell inlove with an average girl." I don't care.

C'mon! Say it Ara! You dont like the story! That you dont really care about the prince and the average girl!

Why cant you just it?!

Damn. Nagwawala yung utak ko. Sumasabay sa puso ko.

Tumingin sya sa akin at tinitigan ako. Napapikit ako.

"You don't like the story right?" Natatawang tanong nya. Hindi ako sumagot instead pinanood ko lang kung paano mahulog tung nga bulaklak sa paligid.

May ganitong lugar pala. Bakot 'di pinakita ni Chad sa akin?

"Your face is telling me to stop." Tumawa nya.

"I-i dont really like story telling." I said with an art. Finally!

"Alright." Ngumisi sya at tinulak nang kaunti tung duyan nya gamit ang paa. Napuno ng katahimikan ang lugar. "Why are you so mean?"

"Mean? About what?" Gulat na tanong ko. Huminto sya sa pagduyan at tinapatan ako.

"Emily." My last breathe was when I sked what. Tila ang hirap huminga.

"You still care about her." Saad ko at inugoy ang duyan para maiwasan sya.

"Well.." He shrugged. Tumingin ako sa kanya. "She's my ex pero hindi naman mawawala yung pinagsamahan namin." He said in a cold tone then he look at me. "We loved each other, we used to."

His honesty never did me good.
