Kuya Miguel excused himself to answer a phone call.I just busied myself by scrolling on my phone to avoid ate Bea's gaze.Kalmado na din naman siya at dahil siguro iyon kay Christian.
Nat on the other side is now silent.Like as if she's thinking something serious.Umirap ako at nagpatuloy sa cellphone ko.
I can sense the eyes from the other table looking at me.I didn't look back because I know for sure,its him.The jerk,shamelessly dating other girl.I don't know if she's really his classmate or what.
Wala pa ngang 24 hours na nanliligaw ang hangal pero may kasama siyang iba ngayon.What a damn playboy!
"Oh my god!" Napasinghap si Nat sa gilid ko.
Kunot noo akong bumaling sakaniya nang hampas hampasin niya ang braso ko.She looks so shocked because of her eyes widened.
"What?!" Inis kong tinulak ang kamay niyang patuloy na humahampas sa braso ko.
"Yung manliligaw mo nandito!" She yelled,pointing her finger on the other table.
Namilog ang mga mata ko at mabilis na tinapik ang daliri niya pababa.Sa lakas ng boses niya ay napatingin ang iba sa direksyon namin.I didn't even bother to look from who's she's pointing out because I already know it!
Kinurot ko ang tagiliran ni Nat at masama siyang tinignan.Napadaing siya at hinawakan ang banda kung saan ko siya kinurot.
Ate and Christian stare at us with confusion in their eyes.I gulped and looked away,not wanting to meet their gaze anymore because of nervousness.
This is what bad of having a noisy friend!na kahit dapat ay secret lang namin ay nabubulgar ng wala sa oras!
"Oh," Nat said awkwardly,"I'm sorry."
Umirap ako sakaniya.
"What was that?" I heard ate asked,"Manliligaw?"
I shut my eyes hardly.Tangina talaga ng kaibigan ko minsan.Iritado na nga ako buhat kanina tapos dadagdag pa siya.I'm not just irritated!feeling ko nalagay ako sa hotseat sa kaingayan niya!
"May manliligaw ka na,Ivy Xienne?" Ate asked seriously.
And at the time she said my name,I knew that she won't buy my lies now.She knows me so well.Dinaig pa ang kuya niya.
I bit my lower lip and look at her.She bent her eyebrows while looking at me like as if reading what's on my mind because I'm not answering her.While Christian on the other side,is smirking at me.Tila nawiwili sa mukha ko na paniguradong mababakasan ng kaba.
"And is he here?where?"Ate look around,trying to search for my damn suitor even she doesn't know his face.
I'm sure now that if I pointed my finger on where Nat pointed hers awhile ago,she would just ask me so many questions.And aside of that,if she saw the jerk with someone,she would probably just question of why he's with another girl!
Paano ako magpapaliwanag 'non?ni hindi ko nga pinaniniwalaan na kaklase niya lang yon!
"Fuck.I think we should run now!"Nat tapped my arm again.
Inis ko siyang binatukan,"Ano na naman?!"
"I think the manager will approach us!"she said.
Kumunot ang noo ko at sinundan ang tinitignan niya.I raised an eyebrow when I saw the waiter awhile ago,walking towards our table with...oh,I think the manager?
He's wearing a black long sleeve folded until his elbows,a slacks and topsiders. Mukhang masungit at galit habang palapit sa amin.
"Ano ngayon?hindi ka naman siguro kakainin,diba?" Umirap ako kay Nat.
