Operation: Make My Ex Jealous (ON GOING)

Chapter 25

Nanggagalaiti si Ellie. Hindi niya alam kung bakit nasasaktan siya sa nakikita niya. Nakita niyang hinatid ni Grey ang pinsan niya sa designated bus number niya. Nakita niya rin na nagtitinginan rin ang mga tao sa kanilang dalawa.

Why wouldn't they?

The campus knew that Ellie and Grey are dating, but now he's with some new girl. Plus the fact that the girl's arm was clung to his.

Kagigil!

"Oh my gosh... kaya naman pala ayaw ni Ellie na sa iisang room tayo it is because his so-called boy friend is now with another girl." a girl behind her teased. A bitch.

"Oh my gosh. Wala na ba talaga kayong ibang magawa kung hindi makisawsaw sa buhay ng may buhay? Duh." of course, she's not a loser. And she's really pissed right now. Talagang papatulan niya ang mga may masasabi sa kaniya.

"Why did you guys breakup?" napatingin naman siya sa kabilang row na babae. Tsismosa!

"Why don't you fuck yourself off?" she rolled her eyeballs.

"You're such a bitchy girl kahit na alam mo namang ikaw ang talo sa argument na'to." tumawa ang babae at ang boyfriend niya.

"Oh? Talaga? Do you consider this as an argument? How lame. This is only a casual talk to me. It doesn't even sound like we're fighting." tumawa si Ellie sa kaniya.

Yes. She was not born to cry and cry and cry.

"Ang tataray talaga ng mga taong bitter, 'no? Kapag talaga wala ng boyfriend, wala ng sweetness sa katawan." tinaasan naman niya ng kilay ang babae.

"Ikaw, sa sobrang sweet mo, nagmukha ka ng langgam." she rebutted and sit comfortably on her seat.

"Wait." napasinghap pa ang babae.

"Does that mean..." nagtinginan ang mga babaeng nasa bus.

"Mean what?"

"You're automatically eliminated, 'cause you two weren't couples anymore. Bye, bitchy Ellie..." nanunuyang sabi naman nito habang halata sa mukha niya na peke ang simpatya nito.

"In your dreams." sabi nito at isinuot ang earphones niya at itinodo niya ang volume ng kantang pinapatugtog niya. Napapikit siya, dahil sa madamdamin ang  kanta.

Makalipas ang ilang minuto, inalis niya ang earpods niya habang nanatili paring nakapikit. Pagbukas niya ng mga mata niya, nasa tabi na niya si Grey habang hawak ang cellphone niya at may ka-text.

Wow. It must be Sophia whom he is texting.

Hindi siya nagsalita at nagpanggap na tulog, kahit na naririnig niya ang ringtone at keyboard sound ni Grey sa tuwing tumitipa siya.

Madaldal sa text, huh?

Nice. Maharot move.

Habang papalapit sila sa Pampangan, bumibigat ang pakiramdam niya. How can she forget a thing about her Pampanga memories when until now, it's still haunting her and it's still painful like it only happened yesterday.

She misses her mom... and her dad.

Living away from her father is good than being blamed everyday for everything bad that was happened to their family and all of the problems occuring in the present and future.

But she seriously misses her loving dad. The one who cares for her, literally.

A tear escaped her eye and she automatically wiped it. She's just listening to Wake Me Up When September Ends, and here she is crying secretly.
