Chapter 08

Confused

I wasn't able to answer Dad's question because the person beside me just interrupted. He let a long sigh and nodded at Luxor. He then turn his gaze at me again.

"Wala ka bang klase, Gruen? Akala ko ba, MWF, 8:30 out mo? Monday ngayon, bakit nandito ka? Don't tell me you're cutting classes?" naramdaman ko ang galit at diin sa boses ni Dad sa huling tanong niya. I trembled with fear.

"W-wala po kasi ang prof namin sa major, D-dad. Kaya early d-dismissal."

Tumingin naman siya sa mga totoong kasama ko. "Who are they?"

"Uh, they are my classmates, D-dad. This is Areza, Louryne, Rayver, Kenneth and Nigel." Pakilala ko.

Tumayo naman sila at bumati kay Dad na tinanguan lang niya.

Tumingin ulit siya kay Luxor. "Please, accompany my daughter, LJ."

"No worries, Tito."

Nag-uusap pa sila hanggang sa nagpaalam na sila Dad at nagpatuloy na sa paglalakad.

"Grabe, nakakatakot pala Daddy mo, Gruen!" ani Rayver.

"Yea, I didn't expect that," ani Louryne habang ngumunguya.

Tapos na naman akong kumain kaya nagpaalam na ako sa kanila. Binayaran ko muna ang binili ko bago humarap sa taong nakasunod sa 'kin.

Why did he do that? Isn't it so odd for him? Whatever his plans is, I don't care. For the second time around, yes, he just saved me. But do I still have to thank him? It's unexpected, alright. And if he's not there, for sure, Daddy will completely get mad at me.

"I should go home." I said.

"Yes, I'm gonna drop you off in your place,"

"Alright."

He lead the way to his car. We immediately get in after we reached it. It's still his Lancer.

Binuksan niya na ang makina at pinaandar na ito.

"By the way, tha-" I was about to say something when we heard a loud rang from his phone.

He looked at me. So I assume that he wants me to lend his phone to him since it's on the dashboard, and he can't reach it. I get his phone and gave it to him but he didn't even glanced at it.

"What did you say?"

Binigay ko pa lalo sa kaniya ang phone na hanggang ngayon, patuloy pa rin sa pagri-ring. I glanced at his phone on my hand and saw the caller ID. It named Patricia.

"Your phone's continuously ringing, Luxor."

By that time, he glanced his phone or should I say, the caller ID. Unti-unting kumunot ang noo niya nang makita iyon. He immediately park the car on the side.

He immediately get his phone from my hand and get out from the car.

Sampung minuto na ang lumipas pero hindi parin siya bumalik kaya sinilip ko siya. Pero hanggang ngayon, may kausap pa rin siya through phone. Sino kaya iyon? Wala naman siyang kapatid. Wala nga ba? Baka girlfriend? Well, who cares.

Napatingin ako sa pinto ng driver seat dahil bumukas ito at pumasok siya. He then throw his phone on the dashboard.

"Sorry 'bout that."

I just shrugged my shoulders and didn't talk. That don't need an answer anyway.

Pagdating sa bahay ay agad akong bumaba at nagpasalamat sa kaniya. I invited him inside but he declined. It seems like he's in a hurry. I don't care, though.
