Valentine Lies (Trio Series #1)

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

I got busy with school works and quizzes, kailangan kong makahabol para sa darating na exam. That's the only reasons to escape reality to keep myself busy with the thought of Xander's actions.

I already message him, he replied saying na sa susunod na lang kami magkita dahil busy daw siya for his requirements in school. I understand that, but it's weird because I got used to his doings making efforts just to see me.

"Hey, earth to Miracle?" napabalikwas ako ng tingin kay Jelyn.

Tinignan ko lang siya, nandito kami ngayon sa isang café, catching up with each other life.

"Busy ba talaga sa inyo pag graduating na?" I sipped in my iced coffee.

Inikot niya ang mata niya na parang nag-iisip, "Hmm, it depends, but if you're referring to Xander," she smiled at tumango. "Balita ko sa department nila madaming kailangang ipasa at terror ang mga Professor."

"Nakikita mo ba siya sa school?"

Umiling siya,"Hindi masyado, pero nakikita ko siya minsan sa soccer field."

I sighed to that, at least he's in school.

"Bakit hindi na ba kayo nagkikita?" Jelyn said.

I pursed my lips to her, iniisip ko kung kalian kami nagkita, last year pa actually. Pero nakita ko siya noong isang araw sa campus pero umalis din.

"Hindi ko alam."

"Miracle, paanong hindi mo alam, you're together in a relationship." She hissed.

I glance to my phone at nakitang nag-text si Papa kung nasaan na daw ako.

"I got to go, Jelyn." I kissed him on the cheeks at iniwan siyang walang nasagot sa tanong niya. Maybe I don't want the truth, I can feel it but I don't want to face it.

I waved to my father ng makita siyang nag-aantay sa parking lot ng university namin. He looks pissed waving back to me.

"Saan ka galing?" he asked quickly pagkasakay namin sa loob ng kotse.

"Pa, kasama ko lang si Jelyn." I reasoned out.

His face now is familiar to me because I always see that when I was high school student, always late to his curfew.

"Miracle, alam mo nama---"

"I know Pa, I know." I cut him off.

Nagpanggap akong tulog sa biyahe para takasan ang sasabihin ni Papa. Hindi naman na nagsalita si Papa hanggang makarating kami ng bahay. We're eating dinner ng kinausap niya ulit ako.
