1311 Words
“What the!! Let go!!” I screamed at him as he tried to drag me to an area with lesser people. “Stop pulling me!” I tried to pull my wrist but he did not let go.
Ano bang akala ng lalaki na ito? Kung makahatak akala mo close kami! Ni ngayon lang nga kami nag kita! How can he just pull a stranger?!
“Let go!!!”
Finally, he let go of me! Napahawak ako sa wrist ko, kita ko ang pamumula nito dahil sa madiin na paghawak dito at dahil na din sa kaputian ko! Masama na tingin ang pinukol ko sakanya at lalo pang nainis ng mapansin na parang wala lang sakanya. Akala mo ay hindi ng hila ng babae na di nya kakilala.
There’s no even regret on his eyes kahit pa nakita nya ang pamumula ng wrist ko!
He just stood there like a king.
His hands are on his pocket, his eyes are on me..and his hair…ngayon ko lang napansin na may kahabaan ay tumakip na sa gilid ng mukha nya. Kung gaano sya kagwapo ay ganun sya ka bastos sa babae.
“How dare you grabbed my wrist and dragged me here!” Inis kong sabi. “If my cousins will know this, mata mo lang ang walang latay!
He ‘tsk’ and glared at me.
Kapal ng face nito! Sarap pa dukot ng mata kay Kuya Yvo!
“Why did you bring me here?!”
He just gave me a bored look.
“Ano, hinatak hatak mo ako dito tapos di mo ako kakausapin?” Nakapamewang kong tanong.
I took a deep breathe and closed my eyes. I pictured out some of my happy moments so I can calm down. Nang medyo umokey na ako ay dumilat ako at tiningnan sya.
Ang magaling na lalaki ay nakamasid lang sa akin na tila ba nanunuod ng palabas.
What an annoying guy!
I just hope that Phoenix and that Milan girl will not end up together or else we will be connected with this annoying guy! Hindi ko sya tangap as part ng pamilya!
Besides that Milan girl seems to be a jealous spoiled brat! Hindi sya bagay kay Pheonix, hindi sya ang makakapag patino sa pinsan ko!
“You know what, I am just wasting my time here. Dito ka na, at baka hinahanap na ako ni Pheonix at ng mga pinsan ko!” I said at tinalikuran sya pero bago pa ako maka hakbang ay nahawakan na nya ang braso ko at napigilan ako.
“Ano ba!”
“Where do you think you’re going?” He asked coldly.
Inalis ko ang pag kakakahawak nya sa braso ko at mabuti naman na pinaka walang nya ako.
Humalukipkip ako at tiningnan sya ng masama.
“Bingi ka ba? Ang sabi ko, babalik na ako-“
“You cannot go back yet! My sister is still talking to that boy!”
“So, ano naman kinalaman ko doon?!”
He glared at me, if looks can kill I might be dead now, but I did not feel scared at all, instead my anger at him is now burning..I have never been treated this way.
“Aww ang cute nila together..”
“Shhh…wag ka maingay. Away mag jowa yan..”
“Nag aaway sila pero bakit kinikilig ako?!”
Halos irapan ko ang mga turistang dumadaan at pinag kakamalan kaming mag kasintahan.
Like ewww.
“He is not my boyfriend..my boyfriend is far better than him!” Malakas na sabi ko para rinig ng lahat.
Nahihiyang tumalikod ang mga nanunuod at nag tsitsimisan.
“Huh? Far better?” He sounded like he is offended. “That kid is better than me?! What did you even like about him? And aren’t you aware that he has a girlfriend already and you are the third party? The guy is cheating-“
I raised my right hand to stop him.
“Wait hold up…” I looked at him confusedly.
Don’t tell me, napag kamalan nila ako na bagong girlfriend ni Phoenix?!
Natawa ako, at lito ang tingin ng lalaki saakin na para bang iniisip na nababaliw na ako.
“You and your sister has a dirty mind.” His jaw clenched and his face darkened. “For your information mr. whatever is your name..I am not one of Phoenix’s girl-“
“You’re just saying that!”
“I am Phoenix’s cousin!”
His lips parted. His face softened. He now looks surprised.
Oh ano? Pahiya sya!
I smiled sarcastically at him, before I turned my back at him. This time, he did not stop me.
Pag dating ko sa pinag iwanan ko kina Pheonix ay nandoon pa sila ni Milan pero this time they are with Yckos who’s looking like he’s gonna kill someone, and Reed who looks worried, he is carrying the two boxes of pizza and a plastic bag.
“Caleigh!” Tawag ni Phoenix sakin ng makita ako. Tumakbo sya palapit sakin hinawakan niya ako sa magkabila kong braso at tiningnan mula ulo hangang paa, harap hangang likod. “Are you okay?” He asked worriedly. “s**t!” Bulong nya ng makita ang pamumula ng pulso ko. “Kuya Silas will kill me!” Pumikit sya. “I’m sorry Caleigh..I’m sorry..”
Rinig ko ang pag singhap ni Milan na halos nasa tabi lang ni Phoenix.
“What’s wrong?!” Galit na tanong ni Yckos sabay lapit saamin, his eyes dropped on my wrist. “P*ta!” Malutong nyang mura. Napatingin ito sa likod ko, at mabilis na nilagpasan ako.
“Yckos!” Gulat kong sigaw ng bigla nitong suntukin sa mukha ang kapatid ni Milan na hindi naman lumaban, matapos ay kinwelyuhan nya ito.
“Kuya!” Sigaw ni Milan pero di inawat si Yckos, mukha itong takot lumapit.
“G*go ka! Ni hindi namin pinapa kagat sa langgam ang pinsan namin tapos sasaktan mo lang!”
Nakakuha na kami ng atensyon sya mga turista sa paligid. Nagtitingin at bulungan ang mga ito at natatakot ako na mag labas ang mga ito ng cellphone at I video kami!
“Reed! Awatin mo!” Nag papanic ko na sabi. Pero hindi ito natinag.
“Hayaan mo sila. He deserved it, kahit ako nangangati ang kamay na suntukin yang g*go na yan!” Inis na sabi nito.
“Please..let go of my brother..it is my fault.” Nanginginig ang boses na sabi ni Milan.
“Milan, stay out of this...” her brother said.
Napasinghap ako.
Lumapit ako Kay Yckos, at hinawakan ito sa braso.
“Yckos..please..tama na..let’s just go home..Hmnn?” Pakiusap ko.
Yckos is always calm like Kuya Yvo..among our guy cousins they are the most patient and not violent. So him acting like this means something..
Suminghap ng malalim si Yckos.
“Pasalamat ka wala dito ang boyfriend ng pinsan ko, or you’ll be a dead meat!” Yckos said before he let go of the guy shirt.
”I’m sorry.” The guy said while looking at me pero nag iwas lang ako ng tingin.
“Let’s go.” He said gently to me before he put his hand on my shoulder ang guided me to where our car is. Reed and Phoenix followed us, nang makasakay na kami sa sasakyan ay puro hingi ng paumanhin si Phoenix saakin, and Yckos gave him an earful.
“Let’s keep this a secret.” I said after Reed and Yckos scolded Phoenix.
”No, we have to tell them especially Kuya Silas.” Yckos said, he still looks mad.
”Hindi pwede, Baka mag kagulo lang! Lalo na pag nalaman ni Silas!” Nag papanic kong sabi.
”Then how will you explain to the, what happened to your wrist? I bet that would even leave a mark!”
I gasped.
”Leave it to me.” Bulong ko.
