Found you again

Chapter 3

I went home already to give myself a break. I decided to take absent for the whole day dahil tinatamad naman na din ako. I changed my PE uniform into a spaghetti strap sando and dolphin shorts at humiga na sa kama.

Nag iisa ako sa condo since may sariling bahay sina Mom at Dad at nasa States na naman si Daddy and nasa Batangas naman si Mommy. Both of them are too busy of their businesses to take care of me. Sabagay! Kaya ko naman ang sarili ko. As long as binibigay nila ang mga kailangan ko then I can manage. Anjan din naman si Ate Melba, my personal maid.

Nagbukas nalang ako ng IG out of boredom. I saw Shan's IG story, litrato namin nung isang araw kasama ang mga tropa nya sa Dust and Lust. Kuha ang litratong yun ng isang waiter gamit ang phone ni Shan. Nakangiti kaming lahat at nakatingin sa camera maliban kay Alexander na nakangiti pero sa sariling phone nakatingin.

Alex Salazar
Xander Salazar

I tried searching him again on IG pero wala akong nakitang account nya bukod sa mga dummy account na nagsilabasan. Wala ding naitulong ang account ni Shan na nakaprivate naman.

I gave up. And just called my classmate Freya to ask for school stuffs.

"Hey Freya! Do we have any assignments?" I asked when the other line was connected.

"How's your date, girl? Is it romantic? Fantastic? What? Spill it out!" Freya asked.

"What? What are you talking about?" I asked her confused. Like, where did she got those ideas, huh?

"Awit, in denial stage erp? Kitang kita ng dalwang mata ko kanina yung akbayan nyo nung lalaki. Sino ba yun?"

I was shocked and it took me a while to realize what Freya have said. Siguro yung papuntang clinic with Alex?

"I am not dating Freya. Don't let yourself be fooled by that malicious brain of yours." I chuckled.

"Then why are you absent? At mukhang whole day?" she asked again, parang ayaw nya maniwala base sa tono nya.

"Nadapa ako at di makalakad. So the nurse adviced me to take the day off and rest." I explained hoping that she would accept that. Where in fact tinamad nalang talaga ako pumasok.

"Asus! Baka sa iba ka dumapa kaya di ka makalakad? Hahaha. Anyway, I'll just send the assignments in your email. Ciao! I'm very busy. Bye!"

I got the email sent by Freya after she ended the call. May nakaattached pang picture ng isang parang hollywood actor na nakabatok pose at naka brief lang. Kitang kita ang six packed abs neto at parang ang sarap hawak hawakan! Bakat din ang baba niyon. Hyst. That nympho girl! Puro kabastusan talaga ang nasa utak palibhasa andami ng karanasan. Haha! Pokpoks.

I fell asleep after scanning the assignments given by different professors. Nakakaantok naman kasi talaga magbasa nun. Nagising nalang ako ng makarinig ng sunod sunod na katok sa pintuan ng kwarto ko.

"Ma'am Daryllayne, ready na po ang lunch nyo."

Si Ate Melba.

I glanced at the clock in my bedside table. 11:46 am. It's already lunchtime. Kailangan ko na din kumain dahil hindi ako nakakain ng breakfast kanina since I'm already late for school.

Bumaba na ko and I was surprised ng makita si Shan sa kitchen. I blinked twice, baka panaginip lang diba? But it's true, andito sa bahay si Shan.

"Surpriseee!" She said smiling widely. Hawak nya ang isang lalagyan na may lamang pang ulam at nakatingin saken.
