Pareho silang tahimik habang tumatakbo ang sasakyan.
Well, talaga namang tahimik sya and she can see that Ram isn't much of a talker.
Kilala si Ram kahit na tahimik ito at bihira lang makipag-usap sa ibang tao.
But, he's physical appearance is really an eye-catcher to every woman.
This man beside her is gorgeous––
'The fuck? Did I just complimented him being gorgeous?'
Gigil nyang saad sa isipan, lihim na lang syang napangiwi.
Ram is the driver, and he's driving smoothly. Savoring the moment.
Nakatingin lang si Harper sa labas ng bintana habang nag-iisip ng kung anu-ano para lang mawala ang kung anumang naisip nya tungkol sa katabi nya. Wala syang pasok ngayon sa café kaya maghapon syang nasa university.
But sometimes, staying long at school will bring you no good.
"How are you?"
Rinig nyang tanong nito sa kanya.
Is he actually asking her that?
Harper just raised her thumb as a sign of 'okay'.
She heard him sigh and glanced her for a second
"Are you... sure?"
Why is he asking that question anyway?
She nod her head lightly.
But the next words he said stunned her.
"I saw what you did earlier at that people."
He said coldly.
Like what she thought, they are just watching, observing.
Hindi nya alam pero kusang napayuko ang ulo nya.
Ram is the coldest guy she knew, that can easily change the atmosphere from time to time.
He's always cold and such, and also a snob.
She got to play with her fingers as if it's the most interesting thing in the world, right now.
Many thoughts are playing in her mind, but she can't blurt that out.
"Im mad."
Harper don't know what to feel. She can't even look at him.
Pero, bakit biglang sumama ang pakiramdam nya sa kaalamang galit ito sa kanya?
Galit ba ito dahil sa ginawa nyang gulo?
But, she didn't start it. They did.
Ipinagtanggol nya lang naman ang kaibigan. She has to.
Tumigil ang sasakyan nila, pero hindi sya nag-angat ng tingin. Inaamin nyang takot syang makita ang reaksyon nito ng kanyang sariling mga mata.
She don't know but she's afraid that Ram might be disappointed at what she'd done earlier.
Pero napigil nya ang hininga ng maramdamang pinat nito ang ulo nya. Kusang nagsalubong ang kanilang mga mata.
Her hazel eyes meets his grayish orbs, makes her chest tighten of something she can't explain.
'What's this feeling?'
Humarap ito ng bahagya sa kanya, at naramdaman nyang hinawakan ng dalawa nitong kamay ang mukha nya.
Like a fragile glass she is. His eyes held with coldness but without any reason, it warms her.
"Im mad. Not to you, but to what they've done to you."
Confusions held her eyes.
'What he's talking about?'
Ram move his thumb to caress her face.
"What if they'll hurt you back and Im not there?"
Hearing him say those words make her face warm a bit.
Nakita nyang ngumiti ito. Ngiting hindi nya makita kapag kasama nito ang mga kaibigan.
Should she feel grateful?
Ram 'the great' is smiling at her.
He smiled at her.
"And you're blushing..."
Tukso nito sa kanya, kaya sinamaan nya ito ng tingin at narinig nya naman itong napatawa ng mahina.
Hindi ito ang unang beses na tumawa ito, dahil saksi sya sa bihirang minuto na tumatawa ito.
And Harper is happy knowing that she's the reason behind it.
She's happy... a feeling that she had long forgotten... but she's feeling it now.
She sign cheekily and sign.
'You laugh... again.'
He maybe don't understand what she had sign to him, but the latter smile.
"Let's get you home."
