Words I never Tell

Chapter 36

Candice

My body aches. Literally. Pagkatapos kong mabato ng kung ano-ano na lang na nadampot ni Hariette.

Why isn't she getting tired? Naubos nya na yung mga flowers sa kotse ni Ate Grant.

And why Ate Sam's car have flower pots and cactus plants? Ang usapan namin puro fireworks yung ilalagay nya doon. Ilang pots yata yung sinalo ko kaya sobrang sakit na ng mga braso ko na halatang magpapasa na. I need to catch those because I've found out how important cactus are for Ate Sammie. Baka lalo sya magalit sakin pag hinayaan ko masira o mabasag yung mga iyon.

Natinik pa nga yata ako. Grabeng torture na nila ito. Wala bang maaawa sakin?

Stop complaining, Ice. You should be liable for your actions. If this is Hariette's way of forgiving you after, you really should just take it.

But I mentally note not to do anything that will piss her off. I don't like to be the receiving end of her wrath pala. Kaya siguro sinabi ni Ate Sam na dapat makaramdam ako ng takot.

Hariette is really scary when mad.

But she really looks so hot though.

"Bugger! Where did you get that!?" Napatili talaga ako ng makita yung bola ng volleyball na hawak niya naman ngayon.

I groaned when I found out that instead of blankets and the invention I've made for Hariette, ay mga bola ng volleyball yung laman ng sasakyan ni Ate Van na hiniram at ginamit ni Ate Alli.

Akala ko ba kampi kami? I thought she'll be helping me para magsorry? Bakit parang sinabotahe lang nila ako?

Damn! I kept shouting habang galit na galit pa din si Hariette sakin. It's so hard to dodge those balls. Really! Ang lakas pa ng bato nya which reminds me she's a powerful spiker like Ate Grant and Ate Alice.

"Take it easy!" I almost cried. Grabe yung spike nya ng bola. Parang mababalian yung sasalo.

Iwas lang, Ice. Baka magka-injury ka pag sinalo mo yan.

"Easy?!" What I've said seems to fuel her anger towards me more. "Easy talaga yan! Gago ka! Umiyak iyak pa ako kakaintindi kung bakit hindi mo naalala yung date natin. I even justified your behavior for the last few days na hindi mo ako pinapansin tapos nanlandi ka pa talaga?!"

"Hariette naman e!" Naiiyak na talaga ako. Kanina pa sya nagbabato pero galit na galit pa din sya.

Baka tuluyan lang talaga iyong mawala pag napatay nya na ako.

"Hariette talaga! Harot ka kasi!" Sigaw nya pa.

"Fudge! Ouch!" I groaned out loud nang tamaan ako sa mukha nung bola. Nahihilong napaupo na lang ako. Parang nanghihina na din yung tuhod ko kakaiwas iwas ko kanina pa. Ang sakit kaya.

I raised my left hand up air to motioned a momentary ceasefire habang hawak ng kanang kamay ko yung ilong ko na tinamaan ng bola. I think it's already bleeding.

"Wait lang. Time-out." I said out loud habang nakayuko pa din.

Hindi ko pa kasi alam kung anong laman ng sasakyan ni Ate Aria at Ate Leigh. I just really hope someone brought the food I've cooked. Siguro naman hindi magagawang ibato iyon ni Hariette di ba? Lalo pa at hirap na hirap akong lutuin iyon.

Damn! Ate Alli is really cunning. She told me that Hariette will easily forgive me. Tapos we can sail tonight because Ate Grant allowed me to take the whole week off. Ayun pala, I will really need one week to recover from bruises and physical injuries.

Naiharang ko na lang yung mga kamay ko nang lapitan ako ni Hariette.

She leaned down to check my face. Tinanggal nito yung kamay ko na nakatakip doon. I saw something crossed her eyes.
