His Best Angle (Angle Duology Book 1) | ON HOLD

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

"'Wag niyong paiinumin 'yan, magiging lalaki ako ng wala sa oras," babala ni Thorran kina Haiden ng sunduin ako nito para isama sa party na gaganapin sa baba, ito ay bilang selebrasyon sa matagumpay na pagdadaos ng Sports event. 

Si Thorran na lang ang natira dito matapos ang laro kahapon kunh saan nakalaban nila ang Hellion University. Hindi namin inaasahan na matatalo nila ang Elior kaya't naging mahirap din silang kalaban. 

Sa unang dalawang set set ay nagpakita ng kakaibang galing ang players ng Hellion. Parehas nilang naipanalo ang unang dalawang set sa score na 25-21 at 27-25. Akala namin ay matatalo na sina Thorran ngunit nabasa na pala nila ang play ng kalaban kaya't nakabawi at naipanalo ang tatlong sunod-sunod na set. 

Matapos ang mga laro kahapon ay Labis ang naging Saya ng buong Revell University dahil ilang sports lamang ang hindi naipanalo ng Revells. 

"Yup. I'm not going to let her," Haiden answered with a smirk on his face. 

"Nako, umayos-ayos ka. Nasa malapit lang si Darth, sumbong kita eh. Mainit pa naman dugo n'on sa'yo!" 

Tumawa na lang si Haiden bago ako nilingon. Napailing na lang ako at nag-iwas ng tingin. Paanong hindi ako mahuhulog kung gan'yan siya palagi. 

In the middle of falling, I got broken and shattered into pieces. I didn't even reach the ground and yet I'm broken and here I am, picking the my pieces and trying my best to make my self whole once again.

My eyes landed to my cousin's pair of eyes. He's sitting with his teammates on a table just near us.  He's looking at me with a warning. I simply smiled at him, alam kong ayaw niyang uminom ako, wala din naman akong plano.

Naputol ang pagtingin at pagsuri ko sa mga taong kasama sa table nina Darth nang tumikhim si Haiden na ngayon ay nakapatong na ang braso sa sandalan ng inuupuan ko. 

"Kung nakakamatay siguro ang tingin malamang pinaglalamayan na ako. You're cousin is glaring at me, damn!" Narinig ko pa ang bahagyang pagtawa niya bago ipinatong ang ulo sa balikat ko. 

My heart is beating fast and clenching as the same time. How could he act like he has feelings for me? Another thought came across my mind. It was his line last night. 

"You'll hate me for what I did for sure…and I promise to tell you what I mean when I said that I failed to save your sister, right? But can I ask if I can keep it in myself for now? I thought I am ready for this but unfortunately, I am not. Just let me enjoy these kind of moments with you."

He's confusing me. What I hear in his conversation with Zack, what he said last night, his acts, it's all contradicting. 

"Is there something that bothers you? Kahapon ka pa ganyan, you know that you can always talk to me." Nag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin, ang kaninang noo niyang nakapatong sa balikat ko ay napalitan ng kanyang baba. His nose is touching my cheeks and I can feel his breath touching my skin that dents shiver to my spine. 

Oh, shit.

I cleared my throat before I speak. "M-my old friend chatted me yesterday. S-she's having a trouble with h-her love life…" Palusot level 999. "a-and I'm kinda worried about her. Can I hear your thoughts about her question?" 

"Sure, maybe I can help. Spill the tea," he said. Hindi pa din siya umaalis sa pagkakahilig sa balikat ko. 

"W-what if… you fall for someone who's in love with s-someone else…b-but that someone keeps on a-acting he's in love with you, too?"

Inalis niya ang pagkakapatong ng ulo niya sa balikat ko. I gathered all my strength to look straight into his eyes to see his reaction. Nakita ko ang bahagyang pagkagulat niya kaya umusbong ang kaba sa dibdib ko.
