CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Charity Case

He doesn't know?

He DOESN'T know.

So, that was my answer to my nonstop overthinking questions that I keep asking myself.

Napatawa nalang ako.

"Ay namental na?" Ysa put down the book she was reading.

Kanina pa siya basa ng basa sa librong binili niyang Sweet Game of Jealousy. She also reads like I do, pampalipas oras ganoon.

Nasa kanila ako ngayon, weekend kase kaya wala akong magawa sa bahay kundi tumingala lang sa kwarto ko mag-isa. Tapos na lahat ng assignments ko kaya gumala nalang ako sa kanila.

Exams won't start till two weeks from now, so, I'd rather spend my weekends well until I regret it. "Bakit ka ba bother sa sagot niya? Akala ko ba..."

"I don't like him, Ysa!" She mocked my voice and laughed afterwards.

"Cause I don't!" I defended, I'm just... overthinking too much, kaya siguro I keep feeling things that shouldn't be felt at all.

Si Hayes na nga ang nagsabi na he thinks I needed it, because apparently, he doesn't know.

Charity case ba ang kaligayahan ko?

Nakakainis!

Hindi raw pinaglalaruan ang feelings ng babae, pero hello? Am I not a girl to him?

I also have feelings, and what he said last time definitely offended me. In so many ways.

"In what ways ka ba niya inoffend ha? 'Di mo naman kaya gusto..." Tuloy na tanong ni Ysa, giving her full attention to me.

Napanguso ako, "Sa... ano... basta! Na offend ako!" I don't wanna think about it anymore, the more I think about it, mas naiinis ako.

"Ang laki talaga ng impak niya sayo noh? Tsk, tsk... the old Aria would've felt the same way if she heard him say what he said to you." Ugh, why did I even like him before in the first place.

Sa karami ng lalake, bakit kaya wala ni-isang lalake akong nagustuhan.

"Don't be upset, baby Aria." She pinched my cheeks, "Sama ka nalang kay Ate Ysa, okay?" Hinawi ko ang kamay niya at napairap nalang.

I hate it when she used that Ate card on me, alam kong mas matanda siya, pero nasanay na akong tratuhin niya akong kaedad niya. "Ate? Whatever!" One-year gap lang kaya kami.

Ysa took a few of her outfits out of her wardrobe, facing herself on her huge mirror, tina-try ang bawat isa nito sa katawan niya.
