NOPI 72: It was.. Big sister Stella.
NOPI Chapter 72
Sephine's POV
"Now tell me.. who made you do it?"
Nang hindi pa rin siya magsalita after ng ilang minuto ay hindi ko siya ni-rush.
I can wait all day just for this information.
The true mastermind.
"It was.. Big sister Stella" sagot niya kaya naman kahit bahagya akong nagulat ay hindi ko 'to pinakita sa mukha ko
My eyes narrowed and immediately looked straight at her black orbs. Nang makita kong hindi siya nagsisinungaling ay nakaramdam ako ng kirot sa puso ko dahilan kung bakit ako nagulat at nagtaka.
Why.. did such an information hurt me? Stella is after all one of Annallie's closest friends. Hindi naman kami close or whatnot.
Stella Aquino.
The girl.. who loved Charles for many years.
An honor student, a Student Council Officer, Royal Academy's Campus Beauty and the only heir for the Aquino Conglomerate. Their parents are close and their businesses are on the same industry.
She's beautiful, smart, talented and rich. A total package.
Although she was friends with Annallie, she wasn't really a bully herself. I even heard that she turned into a new leaf because of Charles.
Knowing and loving Charles for so many years, I'm kind of.. jealous of her.
Gustuhin ko mang gumawa ng move sakanya ay hindi ko na magawa 'yun ngayon.
Not after Charles announcing to the whole school that I'm his girl.
For some unknown reason and after all that had happened, naawa ako sakanya. Thinking about all the drama, I can't help but think about one thing: how is she now?
What is she feeling after reading Charles' thread on the School Forum?
Is she feeling sad, hurt or maybe.. angry?
Is she.. alright?
"Ate Josephine?" nang marinig kong tinawag ako ni Stephan ay agad ko na siyang tinignan saka sinubukang kumalma
"We're done here. Remember to keep your promise or else," sagot ko't sinuot na ang mask, glasses at pati narin ang hoody ko
Tumayo na ako't lumabas na papunta sa dorm room ko leaving behind a shivering Stephan and a wondering Lucas.
*
I stared at the ceiling of my room, it's pink with luminous stars and a moon.
Perhaps because too many things had happened over the past few days, I feel both tired and not tired. It's complicated.
Ipinikit ko na ang mga mata ko't humilata na ng kaswal sa kama ko.
Eventually, I couldn't hold herself back anymore and reached for my phone. Searching through my contacts, I immediately clicked Charles contact information and sent him a message.
[To Charles: Are you awake?]
Nang hindi na ako nakatanggap ng sagot galing sakanya ay bumugtong hininga nalang ako saka binaba ang phone ko't pumikit ulit.
Hmp. He's already asleep? It's still 6p.m!
Hindi niya ba ako namiss?
Miss ko na siya eh. *sigh
I'm so strange sometimes. I want to text him but don't want to text him at the same time. I want to be with him but don't want to at the same time.
Why you ask?
Well, probably because I miss him so much that I wanted to text and wanted to be with him. But if I text him and be together with him, my heart can't probably take it.
It's so full of love and affection after all.
I'm so sick. Anong klaseng sakit ba tanong niyo? LOVE SICK.
Kapag pala mahal mo ang isang tao, hindi mo talaga mapigilan na magparamdam sakanila't magpapansin. Hahaha. I've been calling people in love stupid before but I didn't know that that's what I am now.
Thinking about Charles' smile, laugh and warm touch, I felt myself slowly dozing off to sleep.
Pero nang marinig ko ang ring tone ng phone ko na nagsa-sabing may nag-text ay agad na akong bumangon at inabot ang phone ko.
[From Charles: I'm outside your dorm.]
Nanlaki kaagad ang mga mata ko sa nabasa ko.
Tumayo na ako't nagbihis ng jacket at shoes. Nilagay ko na ang headgear and wig ko, nag-drawing ng freckles sa mga pisngi ko't sinuot na ang contact lenses kong black at malaking salamin.
Nang masigurado kong nai-transform ko na ang itsura ko ay agad ko nang kinuha ang phone ko't tumakbo na palabas ng dorm.
Nang makalabas na ako ay hindi ko na pinansin ang mga dorm mates ko na nakatingin sa akin.
Charles already announced it after all.
What is that it you ask? That we're an 'it' - that I'm his woman.
I'm also not the type who will avoid Charles just because of this. If I hide, he might think that I'm feeling embarrassed about the two of us being official.
With that thought, hindi ko na pinansin ang murmur ng mga estudyante't dumiresto lang sa lalaking naka-lean sa security office na walang ekspresyon sa mukha niya.
Pagkakita niya palang sa akin ay agad nang lumiwanag ang aura niya't nilapitan na ako.
Napangiti nalang ako.
A guy whose only gentle and nice to me.
Not every girl in this world has the ability to find a guy like this.
"W-why are you here? Pwede mo naman akong i-text ah?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit siya natawa saka kinuha ang bulaklak na inabot ng guwardya sakanya dahilan kung bakit ako nagpigil na kiligin sa paraang pag-tabon ng bunganga ko gamit ang mga kamay ko
"I had to congratulate my girl for winning the fight" sagot niya't binigay na sa akin 'yung bulaklak kaya naman napangiti na ako
And this is why I'm always sick.
He keeps on scratching my heart like a cat's claw. Slowly but surely warming my heart.
"Is your 'job' finished? Did you finish them off well?" tanong niya
"Hmm, praise me" sagot ko dahilan kung bakit siya natawa saka ako pinat sa noo
"Haha. Wala na akong ibang i-expect sa wifey ko" sagot niya't pinaharap sa akin ang elbow niya kaya naman napangiti na ako't agad na isinabit ang kamay ko don at nagsimula na kaming maglakad palayo ng dorms
"Hahaha. Wifey? So ano? Hubby ang tawag ko sayo? Since when were we married, Charles?" tanong ko
"Hmm. We're both beyond 20 years old, so I guess we could do it now, right? Do you want to get married?" napataas ang kilay ko ng ilang segundo bago ko siya sinamaan ng tingin
"Are you serious?"
"Nope, if I really wanted to marry you, I'll propose to your parents and not you" sagot niya kaya naman nagtaka na ako
"Eh? At bakit naman hindi ka sa akin magpro-propose?"
"Because I won't give you the chance to say no,"
Silence enveloped the pathway after Charles said those unbelievably domineering and confident words.
Sinilip ko siya at nang makita ko ang side profile niya'y namula na ang mga pisngi ko sa pag-akyat ng dugo ko sa mga ito.
"I don't plan on rejecting though." bulong ko saka iniwas ang tingin ko
I thought he didn't hear me whispering which is why I giggled pero nagulat nalang ako nang bigla niya akong hinila at hinalikan sa noo
"I know you won't. Not on this guy and not on this life"
