Chapter 20- Hugs

"You want me to tell you why?" Aunt Malory said. Alonzo is already asleep and Uncle Ross is nowhere to be found. Siguro umiinon na naman iyon kasama ang mga kaibigan niya.

"Po?" nag-aalangan ako kung bakit niya sa sabihin sa akin. Maybe she just wanted someone to tell her side story.

"I have this man before I met Ross. His the man of my dream kahit ang corny pakinggan pero iyon ang totoo minahal ko siya at minahal niya ko higit pa sa sarili niya. We split a far two years before I married Ross. His carrer was in a blink of loss kaya napagdesisyonan kong hiwalayan siya but he chooses me over his lifelong dream kaya hindi ko alam kung dapat ko bang ikasaya iyon o kamuhian ang sarili ko. But he stayed and assured me that I am enough but words aren't always truthful. One day I saw him cheated and worse is that he got her pregnant." May tumulong luha sa gilid ng mata ni Aunt Malory kaya tumigil muna ito sa pagsasalita at uminon ng tubig.

"So I did what a right woman do, I let him go to make his child fulfil a family." Kung kanina ay isang butil lamang ng luha ngayon ay sunod-sunod ang agos ng luha sa mga mata niya.

I want to hug her but I'm holding myself back.

"And a week ago he's back, the reason why Ross is angry all the time. He thought that I might go back to him after seeing us catching up in a coffee but we aren't only there, our friends were also present. At ang nangyari ngayon ay dahil sa galit niya sa iba na ako ang napabuntongan."

"Sorry kung wala po akong nagawa kanina" iyon na lamang ang nasabi ko. Ngumiti naman ito sa akin at nilagay ang kamay nito sa itaas ng kamay ko.

"If ever something like that happen again, pabayaan mo nalang baka masaktan ka pa ni Ross. I heard what you said to Alonzo kanina, Thank you, thank you for comforting him and defending me even you don't have too."

Comforting ba matatawag sa ginawa ko kanina? Kung comforting ang tawag sa pagbuhos ng tubig sa tao dapat buhusan ko rin siguro siya diba?

"He, he, he" napakamot ulo nalang ako.

Pagkatapos namin mag-usap ay pumunta na ako sa sariling kwarto, late na rin kaya naisipan na naming matulog. Uncle Ross will be home anytime soon kahit naman umiinom iyon ay umuuwi ng maaga.

I saw the Information Paper that was given me in my first day at school. May flow chart na nakalagay doon kung saan ay may mga litrato. At the bottom of the pictures are their names and status.

At the bottom of chart are four students namely Lay Mendoza as Class A Leader, Princess Ella Geller as Class B Leader, James Vicente as Class C Leader, and Veronica Magsayo as Class D Leader.

They were connected at the top, which is Prince Chandler Geller as the Classes President.

W-wait what a prince? Oh No! No! No!

I called him a Prince in my thoughts but all this time he has Prince in his name and as what I recall I think Ella once said she has a brother that also named as Prince pwede kayang si Chandler iyon. Akala ko magpinsan lang sila. Gosh! I'm an idiot.

I didin't know him really yet or I don't know him at all. He never told me his story. I was the one who talks all the time.

Hindi lang ba talaga siya mahilig magsalita o talagang hindi lang siya interesado? Or maybe he doesn't take me seriously?

At the top of him were the UG School Executives, I only knew the School President which is Sir Elmyr Vicente and the rest were also seen at the Holiday Crest Meeting though I can't remember them much.

Sa itaas naman ay ang headmistress, the thing is walang nakalagay na pangalan tanging headmistress lamang ang nakalagay.

Above of headmistress is the Chief Executive Officer of UG Foundation /School's Director named Vincent Loi Stroma.

Sa tingin ko ay kaedad lamang niya si Uncle Ross. He's face is manly, serious, and authoritative.

Below the flow chart is brief information about the school. It was founded by the Stroma Family on 2001.

The Uther Global School is only one of the UG Foundation where it actually comprises of 20 main branches in the Philippines and each main branch has 10-20 supporting division which are all owned by the UG Foundation CEO.

Ganun ka yaman si Sir Vincent Stroma.

After reading the other information which is all about schools and regulation kung saan wala na mga bago I decided to sleep.

Medyo na tagalan din ako ngayon pumasok. As I went to headquarters only Chandler is present.

"Ikaw lang, asan ang iba?" umupo ako sa harap nito at nilagay ang bitbit ko na libro.

"Lay attended the Class Leaders Meeting with Ial as secretary. The others were in the music room practicing their instruments. Bakit ka ng pala late?"

"Hmm. May tinapos lang ako kanina sa bahay. Sandwhich gusto mo?" sabay abot ng sandwhich na ginawa ni Nana hindi pa kasi ako nagbreakfast dahil sa pagmamadali kaya pinabaon na lamang niya.

"You did not eat your breakfast?" nasa tono nito ang paghindi sang-ayon. Hindi naman nito kinuha ang bigay ko so I pouted and acted na parang disappointed. Nagmadali niya naman ito kinuha sa aking kamay kaya bahagya akong natawa.

"Nagmadali nga kasi ako"

"And why is that?"

"Basta. Bakit ka nga pala andito you should also practice." Kumuha ako ng papel sa bag sisimulan ko ng magsulat ng tula.

"I don't need to, magaling na ko." Tinignan ko siya ng masama, hambog! Ngumisi lamang ito at tumayo at umupo sa tabi ko. Pinabayaan ko nalang at naghanap ng ballpen ng may maalala ako.

"Chandler" tawag ko sa kanya.

"Hmm?"

"Tell me about yourself, kapatid mo ba si Ella? You never told me anything about you" tinignan niya ako sa mga mata at napabuntong hininga. What's with that?

Kinuha niya ang isang kamay ko ay nilaro-laro niya iyon sa kamay niya.

"I'm named as Prince Chandler Geller, and yes Ella is my younger sister. Our mother loves Disney tha't why we have Prince and Princess in our name. I never have been in a relationship before. But I have oa girl whom i like noon hanggang ngayon" aniya. He's still playing with my fingers without breaking his eyes to it.

Kita mo na, kita mo na! Hindi talaga siya seryoso sa akin. Hmpp!

"Pshh. Kung ganun bakit ka andito roon ka sa noon at ngayon mo!" I pulled my hands from his, sinampal ko rin ang kamay niya. Tatayo na sana ako ng higitan niya ako payakap sa kanya.

Ang lakas naman ng loob nito matapos siyang magconfess sa akin pero iba pala gusto niya. Huh!

"Oo nga"

"Oo nga" inulit ko ang sinabi niya tunog pang-aasar. Mukha nito may payakap-yakap pang nalalaman.

"Bitaw, ano ako rito rebound, kabit, pangpalipas-oras? Hey! Dream on! Maraming nanghahabol sa akin ano. Isa ka lang doon!" ayaw niya parin ako bitawan, ang sikip-sikip ng yakap niya. Pag ako nakawala rito sasakalin ko talaga siya.

"Sino? Si Paolo? Tsk. Huwag kang maniwala roon"

"Mas magtitiwala ako sa kanya kesa sayo na may gusto namang iba. Bitawan mo na nga ako."

"Hahaha mamaya na, wag ka munang malikot kahit half hour lang ganito muna tayo" aniya. Hal-half h-our? Hinayupak ba siya?

"Anong half hour? Oi bitaw na! Hindi na ako makahinga" imbes na bitawan, pinahinga niya lang ako ng kunti kaya hindi ko mapigilang umirap sa ginawa niya, ang laking tulong talaga. Good job Prince. Good Job. Please note the sarcasm. Grrrr.

"5 minutes lang"

"1 minute"

Hindi ito sumagot, silence means Yes diba kaya sige nalang. Win-Win rin naman ito hehehe anooo ba ang landeee kooo. Nagpapabebe lang e.
