The Campus Crush is My Secret Husband

Chapter 6

Flirt

I woke up by the voices that surrounds me. I open my eyes to see what's going on. Agad kong naramdaman ang kamay na humawak sa akin. Pero kaakibat ng pagbangon ko ang pagsigid ng sakit sa ulo ko causes me to lay down again.

"Zan! What happened to you? Doc, is she okay?" I close my eyes and slightly massaging my forehead. I heard Zach muttered a curse.

"I'm okay Zach, don't worry too much." I calm him down. But too late, there's a doctor already in our room.

"Due to stress and fatigue, causes her to pass out. I advice you to take proper nutrition of foods and vitamins. You also have a low blood that's why you got easily tired." the words of the Doctor jumbled on my head I can't even understand. Pero hayaan nalang, I will ask Zach nalang mamaya.

Later on, the Doctor finally made his leave leaving Zach with me.

"How many hours did I sleep, Zach?"

"6 hours, 23 minutes, and 14 seconds." his voice was as cold as ice. Brrr.

"Ang haba naman. Pwede bang 6 and a half hours sabihin mo?" pag aarte ko sa kaniya. Unti unti na rin nawawala ang sakit ng ulo ko. Pero hinayaan ko munang nakapikit ang mata ko.

"What happened, Zan? Hindi ikaw ang taong iiyak nalang bigla Zan."

I slowly open my eyes, contemplating if I should tell it or not. And decided not to. The issue was between us and should settle between us. Not with or by other people.

"I'm tired, Zach." I look at the other side, facing my back to Zach.

I heard him moved and gradually hugs me from the back. That move tells me to continue.

"I'm tired being their dog. Nakakapagod ng maging sunod-sunuran sa kanila. I have my own life, own decisions, and own dreams. But all of it fade away like it was just nothing. Buong buhay ko nakasunod nalang ako palagi sa gusto nila. Buong buhay ko wala akong ginawa kundi maging mabuting anak. And worst, kinuha pa nila pati ang kalayaan kong piliin ang taong gusto ko..." a sudden pause and I breathe. I always open up my family issues with him. Because he's the only one who can understand my feelings.

"I'm so sorry Zan... I'm so sorry. I have nothing to do with it but to just hug you and make you feel that I'm here. You're not alone, you're always welcome with me." his soothing voice really calms me. I really felt that I have a big brother.

I face him, "I'm so grateful I met you Zach. If years without you, I don't know how to cope with it. You're always by my side—" a sudden grip of hands attacked and suddenly pull me away from Zach.

"What are you doing here?" his voice groaned and echoed at every corner of the room.

Due to sudden rising, bumalik ulit ang sakit ng ulo ko. My legs became wobbly that makes me to sit again to the bed.

"I'm just hanging out with Zach." I said with a low voice enough to be heard.

I'm closing my eyes, "Hanging out? For half a day? Damn girl, you even cut class to just hang out with a male?" his voice feels like accusing me for something but I nevermind it.

"Okay, let's just go home." I forced myself to stand up even when I already can't.

"Don't force yourself again, Zan..." ang nag aalalang boses ni Zach ang dahilan kung bakit hinawakan muli ako ni Daniel at hinigit pa pala pit pa sa kaniya lalo.

Tumingin ako sa kaniya at bakas ngayon ang matalim niyang titig kay Zach.

Why am I even in this place? Sumasakit lang ulo ko lalo kay Zach. Hinila ko na lang siya bigla at walang paalam na umalis kami.

Hindi ko rin napansin ang parents ni Zach kaya naman naging tahimik ang pag-alis namin ni Daniel. Ni isa ay walang balak magsalita.

Ngunit pagkarating palang namin sa sasakyan niya agad na niya akong ikinulong sa dalawang braso niya at idinantay ang katawan ko sa nakasarang pintuan ng sasakyan.

"Hanging out for almost a day? Really Zan? Sa lalaki pa talaga, ha?" really? What's his issue with Zach?

"For goodness sake, are you still pushing your accusations? Heck, Zach is gay stop it!"

"Then, anong ginawa niyo ng seven hours? Jack n poy? Damn, you're still a girl and he's a boy!" I slap him. I can't believe what he says. How dare him accuse me when he's the one having a total stranger for a night?

"I'm not a bitch nor I never flirt with anyone. I never even have sex with my male friends, dang it! Stop me with your accusations and talk to yourself." I shouted right in his face. Tinulak ko siya at agad na akong pumasok ng sasakyan niya.

And I know that night, I'll be in tears again.
