Chapter 8.2
"Sa pagkaka-alam kasi namin, hindi tumatanggap iyan ng babaeng bisita si boss Wayde unless nalang kung kakilala niya o importante sa kanya. Sigurado ka ba talagang hindi kayo magkakilala?" umiling ako
That's because I forced him to let me stay. Gusto ko sanang isantig 'yun sa kanya nang makarinig kami ng karipas ng takbo papalapit sa amin.
Sinulyapan ko si Wayde na nakahilig sa motorbike nito. There are some people circling him down and greeting him which he exchanges with a sincere smile. He didn't even get tired of exchanging smiles and even talk with them like they are long friends.
"Daday, dala ko na lahat ng gamit. Saan ba ilalagay ang mga 'to?" I stilled when I heard a familiar voice not far from us. Sigurado akong siya ang nagmamay-ari ng boses na 'yun!
"Late kana naman, Clayton! Naku talaga, akala ko ba magbabagong buhay kana ha?" kompronta ng isang babae.
"Sorry naman, free trial palang yun eh. Wala pa tayo sa premium subscription," napakamot ito sa ulo at napahawak sa ulo nang bigla siyang binatukan ng babae. "Aray naman! ikaw kaya batukan ko?!" "Clayton?" I mumbled. Nakuha ko naman ang atensyon nilang dalawa.
My eyes widened when I finally confirmed who it was. Oh gosh!
"Celestia?" Malaki ang ngiti kong kumaway. There I saw my classmate way back in highschool. Nalaglag ang panga ko nang makita siya. He looks so much different right now. What the hell is he doing here? Oh my God!
Mas lalo rin siyang tumangkad at gumwapo. I shrieked out and shout in glee when I saw him. Malawak rin ang ngiti niya nang makita ako at idinipa ang dalawang kamay. I ran towards him and welcomed him with a hug. "Gosh! Is that really you?! You look so much different now!" I hugged him tightly before stepping back.
"Clayton at your service!" sumaludo pa siya na parang isang sundalo. "Ikaw rin naman ah, pumuti kapa nga lalo eh. Lumaklak kaba ng gluta?"
Inirapan ko siya at nirolyohan ng mata. Hindi pa rin talaga siya nagbabago. Napasimangot ako ng guluhin niya ang buhok ko at piningot sa ilong. Tinampal ko siya kaagad.
"Bakit ka napunta rito sa Punto Sierra?" I clinged in to him and smiled.
He smiled and shrugged. "I think I should be the one to ask you that."
"M-Magkakakilala kayo?" The girl who approached me awhile ago asked. We both nodded.
I and Clayton came from the same school and we're classmates. We initially became close because he's the type of guy who wants to be friend all of the students in the university. And that's because of his out-going personality and bubblyness. "Oo naman! Baka muse namin 'to nung highschool!" Clayton encircled his hands on my neck at mess with my hair again. Palibhasa matangkad! That's why he's always the top pick in choosing a player in basketball.
Wala namang reklamo ang mga coach namin dahil sobrang galing rin niya sa larangang iyon.
"Sumali kaya kayo sa Punto Sierra contest? Siguradong kayo ang mananalo!"
Nagkatinginan kami ni Clayton at sabay na umiling. It would be a disaster if we would! As far as I can remember, Clayton was partnered to me before, but it turns out drastically chaos! Instead of being serious in the pageant, it became a comedy show because of Clayton's recklessness.
He always ruin a serious moment that left us laughing. It was in a good way tho.
"No thanks, I'm too good for that." See what I mean?
"You're so mayabang! Kaya pala imbes na maging pageant contest yung sinalihan natin, ginawa mong comedy show. To note that, the dean called your attention because of what happened." I chuckled, shaking my head.
"Ang harsh mo ah! Porke't naging muse kalang, ganyan kana sakin. Hini-hurt mo ang aking feelings!" umakto pa siyang nasasaktan kaya kinurot ko siya sa tagiliran.
Napalahaw ito sa gulat at napahiwalay sakin. I just shrugged and stuck my tongue out at him. He just mimicked what I did and massage the side that I pinched. Nakakamangha lang isipin na rito kami ulit magkikita. It's been awhile since we have seen each other.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"You lit-" kukurotin sana niya ang pisngi ko nang natigilan siya. Clayton stood up properly and fixed his gesture. Tumaas rin ang kilay niya at lumampas ang tingin sa likod ko.
"Celestia." It's Wayde, calling me.
Lumingon ako sa kanya. "Let's go home. I still have worked at 4," tumango ako at bumaling kay Clayton.
Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o maiinis sa itsura niya ngayon. His jaw dropped and his eyes widened because of shock. Unti-unti nitong tinaas ang hintuturong daliri at tinuro ang papalayong bulto ni Wayde.
"D-don't tell me. Naungusan n-na naman ako ng lalaking yun?! Anong h-home yang sinasabi ng lalaking yan ha?" ininguso nito si Wayde na nakahilig lang sa motor nito habang tinitignan ang eksena naming dalawa. With a cross arms and still wearing those aviators to protect his eyes from the scorching heat.
Pinagtitinginan na rin kami ng iba dahil sa sigaw ni Clayton.
"You know him, Clayton?" unti-unti siyang tumango habang hindi inaalis ang tingin kay Wayde. Then suddenly, nagdadabog ito at kinuyom ang kamao. Damn it, nasapian na naman ng pagka-isip bata 'tong kaibigan ko.
"Anak ng teteng naman oh! Naungusan na naman ako. Palagi nalang Wayde, Wayde! Wala 'bang, Clayton diyaaan?" natawa ako sa hindi na halos ma-itsura nitong mukha.
I chuckled lightly and just watched his reaction.
"At saka Celestia! H-how dare you na s-sumama sa lalaking yun! Pati ba naman ikaw?! nadala na sa kaniya? Humanda ka talagang Wayde ka at mababangasan din kita!" He bumped his left fist with his right palm. And he just looked like someone who wants to go in a boxing match.
Binatukan ko siya.
"Baliw! I'm renting one of the room in his house for the meantime. Nothing more and nothing less, so vanished that thoughts inside your mind."
"Aray naman, Celestia! You chose Wayde already, what is it with him that you didn't saw in me? Kapalit-palit ba ako? Am I change-change? Then why?!" pagdra-drama nito sa harap ko. Napailing-iling ako at naglakad na palayo sa kanya habang naghihisterikal pa siya.
