NOPI 65: Charles already dealt with it for you!

NOPI Chapter 65

Ed's POV

I was just staring at Charles who was almost at the edge of his sit and was trying to control his emotions.

I can't blame him. The love of his life was being bullied not only by one person but by the whole school. Not being able to be beside the person you love who was feeling down at times like this.. is a kind of torture too.

Pero anong magagawa natin? Love and pain really goes hand in hand.

It's inevitable.

After a few minutes of silence, he slowly opened his eyes and when I saw that he was now calm and collected I immediately gave him his phone which is why he glanced at me and smiled.

"Thanks, bro" sabay kuha ng phone niya't na tinawagan si Sephine

Pinindot niya naman ang speaker mode kaya naman napangiti nalang ako.

After ng ilang segundo ay sinagot na din ni Sephine ang tawag. "Hello?"

"Seph, good morning. Did you sleep well?" tanong ni Charles dahilan kung bakit ako nagulat

Tumahimik naman sa kabilang linya kaya naman pati kami ay natahimik.

Charles.. He's actually giving Sephine the chance to tell him about what happened.

This guy.. *sigh

Kung babae ako, baka nagkagusto na ako sakanya. Too bad he's fallen way too deep with Sephine.

"Y-yup, nakatulog ako ng maayos. How about you?"

"Of course, I was with you in my dream after all," sagot naman ni Charles kaya naman napailing nalang ako't umupo na sa sofa't nagsisunudan naman sila

"Stop joking. Kumain na ako, ikaw? Kumain ka na ba?"

"Kakain palang" sagot naman ni Charles saka umupo sa table at tumingin na sa screen na kung saan ay makikita pa rin ang thread galing sa School Forum

Nagkaroon naman ng ilang minutong katahimikan dahilan kung bakit nafeel kong nagiisip silang dalawa kung paano nila bubuksan ang topic tungkol sa school forum.

I wasn't supposed to know about the thread's existence if it wasn't for our supportive classmates who knew the truth.

Pagkarating na pagkarating ko palang sa classroom ay agad na nila akong dinumog at naglabas ng mga sama ng loob nila dahil merong gumugulo kay Sephine ulit.

Sephine's got a good reputation inside our department, be it with her peers and instructors. But when it comes to the outside, except for the pre-performance that has happened between so many departments, wala nang ibang nakakaalam na close kami't laging magkasama.

*sigh

"Charles," pinutol naman ni Sephine ang katahimikan kaya naman napakagat ng labi si Charles

Tsk. The silence and the atmosphere's killing me!

"I can handle it. Don't worry too much and just trust me," sagot ni Sephine dahilan kung bakit napangiti si Charles

Napatingin naman ako sa iba't napatingin din naman sila sa akin. Nagsingisian na kami't nagsi-apir'an at fist bumps.

"Hmm. I trust you. Good luck," sagot naman ni Charles at natapos na ang call nila

Nang ibaba na ni Charles ang phone niya ay tatanungin ko na sana siya kung wala talaga siyang gagawin pero nagtaka ako nag-dial siya ng ibang number at kinausap ang nasa kabilang linya nito dahilan kung bakit ako tumahimik ulit.
