The Womanizer's Wife

Chapter 12

Nagising ako sa tunog ng alarm ko. I lazily reach for my phone to turn it off. Minutes passed and my eyes flew open. Darn, what time is it now? I hurriedly went off my bed. The clock says 7:45 am and I have class at 9!

Wala na 'kong oras para isipin kung bakit late na akong nagising. At kung bakit hindi ko narinig agad ang alarm ko. Mabilis akong naligo at nagayos. Ni hindi ko na nga na blow-dry ang buhok ko. I get my wallet, bag, books and phone before I run downstairs. I saw my mom sitting on the couch, reading a magazine while drinking her coffee.

"Bye mom! I love you!" I kissed her cheek and she was startled. "I'm sorry, I'm already late." I smiled apologetically.

Tatalikod na ko nang makita ko si kuya North na pababa ng hagdan. My eyes brighten.

"Kuya! Papasok ka na?" Please say yes, say yes.

"Yes."

Thank you, Lord. I love you!

"Sabay na 'ko, please?"

"Silly. Of course. Come on." Then he looked at mom. "Bye mom. We're leaving." he kissed her cheek. But then my mom frowned. Patay kang bata ka.

"Brianna Rose, you haven't eat breakfast yet." Ngayon pati si kuya nakakunot noo na.

"I'll eat! Kakain ako sa school. Please, I'm already late." I pleaded. Pero tinaasan lang ako ng kilay ni kuya.

"I'll eat this time. Kakain na talaga ako. I promise." I sighed. That's what you get from always lying about eating breakfast at school.

"Fine. Let's go." Kinuha ni kuya 'yung bag ko. I smiled at him. Hindi naman 'yun mabigat pero ganon lang talaga sya. Whatever it is that I'm carrying, kukunin nya palagi. Hindi sya madalas magsalita. He's cold. He's very reserve. He's scary especially when he's mad. They say he's very rude. That because he's very blunt. He'll say whatever he wants. He's cruel. That's what many people are saying. But with me, he's a different person. He's the sweetest guy. He's my knight. The person I look up too. My saviour since the beginning.

Mabilis lang kaming nakarating sa school. Sabi ko kasi sa kanya 9 ang start ng class ko . At ilang ulit nyang sinabi sa akin na kumain ng almusal. Gusto nya pa akong ihatid sa cafeteria kaya lang may tumawag sa phone nya. Vice president ng student council. Yes, kuya is the president. Proud 'lil sister here! Okay, enough.

Since 15 minutes pa before my class, mabilis akong naglakad papunta sa cafeteria. Unfortunately wala pa sila Kim, my friends. Mamaya pa pasok nila since hindi kami pare-parehas ng course. So yeah, I'm alone. Though I don't mind at all. I don't really like being surrounded by so many people. I've already learned my lesson. Natrauma na ako. Ilang beses ng may nangloko sa akin. They all used me just to get close to my brother. Most of them are girls.

"Hi Bri!" some girls greeted me when I  entered the cafeteria. See? I'm quite known because of my brother. 'Yon lang naman ang habol nila sa 'kin.

I sighed. Pagdating ko sa counter tumingin ako ng pwedeng kainin. Wala akong mapili. Wala akong gustong kainin. Kaya lang, I promised kuya that I'll eat. So I settled with sandwich.  At least may kinain ako kesa sa wala, diba. Dahil ilang minuto nalang ang meron ako, kinain ko na 'yung sandwich habang naglalakad. When suddenly I felt dizzy. Dahilan para mabangga ako at mahulog 'yung kinakain ko. Wala pa naman din sa kalahati 'yung nakakain ko. Hay, Brianna.

"Are you stupid?" napaangat ako ng tingin.

"I'm sorry, hindi ko sinasadyang bungguin ka." It's my fault anyway so it won't hurt to  apologize kahit na tinawag nya akong tanga.
