Caressing The Mighty One (Heavenly Harmonies Series #3)

Chapter 2

Hello. Thank you for reading.

I walked back in the VIP room after giving the broken eyeglasses of that guy. It was surprising to see that kind of guy in a club. At mas nagulat pa ako nang muli ko siyang nakita kasama si Arcangelo Alcalde. I observed him from a corner of the room. I was now sipping a hardcore drink.

"Hey! Hindi mo kasama ang Kuya mo?"

Naputol ako sa pagsulyap nang lumapit sa akin ang isang kaklase ni Kuya. It was a girl now. I arched up my one brow at her. Nakapuwesto kami sa madilim na bahagi ng VIP room. Sa gilid naman ay ang isang glass wall kung saan kita ang nangyayari sa labas.

"Biglaan lang kasi kaya hindi ko na inaya," wika ko.

Tumango lamang siya at humalukipkip. Sumandal sa pader at mataman akong tiningnan.

"Lately, I started to realized that I had a crush on your Kuya..."

Pasimple akong umirap nang marinig iyon. Ipinilig ko na lamang aking ulo, nakinig na rin sa kanyang sasabihin.

"Bukod sa pagiging Solegracia, hanga talaga ako sa kung paano siya mag-aral. He was so cool and competitive. Kaso mukhang basted ako sa kanya."

My lips curled for a smile. Basted? Really? Mga babae ang nanliligaw kay Kuya? What a damn lucky bastard. College girls would really go crazy for him.

Hindi na ako nakapagsalita pa habang nagkukwento siya. Besides, she looks tipsy and unaware of what she's saying. Ilang lagok pa ng inumin ang ginawa ko bago nagdesisyon umuwi. I called our driver to fetch me. Sa labas na lamang ako naghintay.

Magulo na sa loob at hindi ko rin gusto ang amoy ng sigarilyo. Biglang sumagi sa isip ko iyong nasira kong eyeglass ng lalaki. I know that it's rude but he left immediately after I returned his eyeglass.

I was thirty minutes ahead from my curfew. Naabutan ko si Dad na kausap si Kuya Kevin sa sala. I straightened my back and walked to him.

"Good evening po," I greeted him a faint smile.

My father looked at me. I swallowed hard when I felt conscious. My knees felt jelly.

"Good evening. I thought you'll be home late."

Sumulyap ako kay Kuya na mukhang pinipigilan ang pagngisi. Mom cleared her throat.

"H-Hindi na po ako nagpapagabi," I said as a matter of fact.

Well, hindi na muna sa ngayon. Of course, I couldn't say that to Dad. He'll ground me again like he did when I was in Grade 8.

"Really? Mapanindigan mo kaya 'yan?" sabi ni Kuya na halatang nang-aasar na naman.

Dad sighed before he turned to my mother.

"Did you hear that? I remembered you said that too, back in your college," Dad said to her.

My mouth gaped wide as I looked at my mother. Umiling na lamang ako. Alam kong hindi madaling paniwalaan ang sinabi ko. I like the smell and feeling of freedom. I love doing things that can make my heart proud. But sometimes, it those things can't even made my father proud.

It is somehow sad but I'm just enjoying things. I am very confident that I have built wall in my heart that no one can destroy, not even my family. Umakyat ako sa aking kuwarto upang makapagbihis. I brushed my teeth and changed into my pajamas.

Pagkalabas ng banyo, naupo ako agad sa aking kama. I grabbed my phone and made myself comforable. I opened the group chat of our class. I read some of my classmates messages. They were worrying about the quizzes tomorrow.
