I keep myself busy scribbling on my sketchpad while K is currently doing our homeworks. Creative writing namin ngayon but our teacher in this subject attended some kind of a seminar kaya vacant namin ngayon. K wanted to finish some of our homeworks sa library kaya sumama narin ako total tahimik naman dito at for sure walang iistorbo sa pagskesketch ko.
Pinagmasdan ko naman ang ginuhit ko nang matapos ko ito and I sighed when I figure that it's so dull kaya agad ko naman itong pinunit.
"You know kung ako sayo gawin mo nalang rin kaya 'tong homeworks natin para naman wala ka nang gawin sa mansion niyo mamaya." sabi ni K pagkatapos akong saglit na sinulyapan.
I rolled my eyes before starting to draw lines and shapes.
"I'm not in the mood to do our homeworks at this time, K. Heck! You are not supposed to do that in here nga e, it's called 'home'work for a reason. You should be doing something else." I said while doing my thing.
"Wow. You actually have a point." aniya.
I stopped and glared at her. She just smiled at me atsaka nagpeace sign.
It's 3pm palang and I can't wait for the last subject. Gusto ko lang tapusin ang araw na ito, it's so boring and normal. Can't I face and deal something new? Saka uuwi si Dad later kaya magkakaroon ng family dinner. I'm not a Daddies girl but hey! I missed him so much. After all, he's still my Daddy. Lagi nalang kasi itong umaalis ng bansa for business saka si Mommy naman palagi lang rin busy sa school. We don't see each other that much sa Mansion. Minsan lang kami nagkakasabay sa breakfast at dinner.
Sucks to have my kind of family no? Well.. it has always been like that after my sister's death. Yes, I have a sister. An older sister to that. She died 7 years ago. I blinked as memories begin to come rushing in my head again.
But before it happens. K nudged my shoulder before pointing someone behind me by pouting her lips. Napakunot-noo naman ako saka bahagyang tumalikod para makita yung tinutukoy niya.
My heart beat turns abnormal again when I saw him standing at the library entrance. He stand with so much confidence and authority I cannot fathom. And mga kamay nito ay nakapaloob sa bulsa ng pants niya. Seryoso nitong sinuyod and paligid ng library, like he's looking for someone. Bahagya naman akong napataas ng kilay when his eyes stopped directly at me.
"Hala papunta siya dito." bulong ni K.
"Don't mind him." sabi ko saka itinuon muli ang atensyon sa pagskesketch.
Hindi palang ako nakakapagguhit ng linya nang isang tikhim ang aking narinig mula sa aking likod. Oh for the love of! What does he want now?
"Uhm.. oh! Kailangan ko palang eresearch to. Rome, hanapin ko muna to dun sa history section sa dulo. Balik agad ako! Byeee." pagmamadaling salita ni K and before I could protest ay agad na itong nawala sa aking harapan.
Humanda sa akin yun mamaya!
Mas lalo kong itinuon ang aking atensyon sa pagskesketch kahit puro lines nalang yung nadadraw ko. From my peripheral vision ay nakita ko naman itong tahimik na umupo sa inuupuan kanina ni K.
I can feel his hot gazed on me. My goodness!
Okay! Okay! Romee, focus. Do not mind the guy seating in front of you. Just keep yourself sketching, do not mind his strong presence. And don't you ever look at him mapaperipheral vision man or not kahit gaano pa ito kaakit-akit na tingnan.
