The Burning Desire

Chapter 19

"Reign, I noticed that you frequently goes out now at hindi mo kasama ang mga pinsan mo? Do you have a suitor or a lover, perhaps?" Mommy asked.

I felt my heart skip a beat because of her question. I looked at her with anxiety eating me up inside.

"W-what mommy?" Kabado akong tumawa. "If I have ay ipapakilala ko siya sa inyo."

"It's making me wonder, sino ang kasama mo tuwing umaalis ka kung wala ka namang manliligaw kung ganoon?"

"My f-friends? I have friends b-besides my cousins, M-mommy!" I mentally slapped my self because of my stuttering voice.

Mommy did not looked so convince with my answer to her. Mabuti na lamang at bumaba si Daddy at tinawag siya dahil kung hindi ay malamang ay hanggang ngayon ay ini-interview pa din ako ni Mommy.

I always hate it when mommy fish information. From being a mother she turns out as a detective.

Pinilig ko ang aking ulo at umalis na ng bahay upang makapasok na sa University.

I've spent my day with going to my classes and eating with my cousins during my free time.

"I wonder what happened to Kai? Noong nakaraan pa 'yan ganiyan 'di ba? After he got home from New York?" Kendall suddenly said.

"Oo nga, He's been like that since New Year." Raika awfully sigh.

Kasama namin ngayon sina Nyxie, Clary at Kiara na nasa second year college na ngayon. We always find some free time so we can all be together at the University. Ang mga pinsan ko lang naman na lalaki ang walang paki sa amin

I looked at Kai who looks awfully miserable right now. From what I've heard ay naghiwalay na sila ni Amara but I don't know the reason why.

Kasama niya si Uno at Dos na noong nakaraan pang 24/7 na guard niya. I mentally praised them, they maybe a jock with each other but they do care about each other.

Nang isang beses na nakasalubong ko si Amara ay mukhang namumugto ang mata niya sa pag-iyak. I tried to talk to her because she looks so sad but I didn't because I don't think that it was a good idea.

"I miss you!" Mahabang sabi ko habang papalapit kay Jordan.

He's standing 3 meters away from me. Nakasuot siya ng putting dress shirt at isang washed ripped jeans.

Just how I like it.

He's standing out too much. Walang kahit na sino ang hindi makakapansin sa kaniya. Sa tangkad at tindig pa lamang niya ay agad mo na siyang makikita o mapapansin.

I don't always like it when he is drawing to much attention even though he did not intend to.

Mabuti na lamang at nasa tagong area kami ng parking lot ngayon. Kakaunti lamang ang pumupunta dito kaya dito naming napiling magkitang dalawa.

"I miss you too." Seryoso niyang sabi at hinagkan ako.

Ang isang kamay niya ay nasa aking likuran habang ang isa naman ay marahang hinahaplos ang aking ulo.

Humiwalay ako sa yakap at ngumiti sa kaniya.

"Let's go? Baka mayroon pa'ng maka-kita sa atin dito." Aya ko sa kaniya.

Sabay kaming dumiretso sa sasakyan niya at umalis na ng parking lot. The good thing is that his car is heavily tinted kaya hindi makikita ng kung sino mang nasa labas ang loob nito, which is what we exactly need.

We've been together now for two years already. Inside of those two years, I remained not as his girlfriend but the girl who he cheated with.

Inside those years, my cousins never figured out what's going on with us. Unlike before, we pretty much hang out now, ang sinasabi lang namin ay magkaibigan kami. They don't seem to mind it.
