Lesson 38

Lesson 38

Rumors

"Cheska, people have different coping mechanisms. Sabi ko nga kanina, intindihin mo muna siya. He might have felt a bit hopeless kanina."

I chuckled. "Saan banda ang hopeless doon? Remember? He used his Ryan card?"

"Don't you realize how terrible it would feel if you can't tell other men to simply back off from your wife because you can't say you're the husband? Trust me, Cheska, it is more than feeling jealous when you see someone making a move on your woman."

"So what are you feeling then when I'm with him?" Napaangat siya ng tingin sa akin. Tinungga niya ang iniinom niya.

"It does not matter anymore." He clanked the shot glass against the counter. "The point is he could not be found close with you tonight. Hindi mo siguro napapansin but all eyes are on you, Cheska."

"Ang hirap maging maganda talaga." I inserted a comic relief.

He pointed a finger on my forehead and said, "Silly woman."

"Cheska!" Napatingin ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses. It is Sharpay's and she's just got off the dance floor. Nang napansin niyang kasama ko si Neil, binati niya agad 'to, "Hi, Sir!"

I looked over her shoulder. "So where's the guy you were dancing with? Ikaw ha? Sino 'yon?" Sharpay instantly blushed.

"I wasn't able to ask his name. He just left after the song. May emergency daw." She whispered. "By the way, have you heard about Genera? Andito na raw siya."

"I don't give a fck about her."

"I know. But she's been asking people around about your husband. May nagsabi yata sa kanya na nakita nila si Sir Ryan."

"Where is she? Nakita mo ba siya?"That fcking btch. I rose from the stool chair when Neil gripped my arm.

"We don't know if she already found him. 'Wag kang mag-alala, 'di yun papatulan ng pinsan ko."

"I know he doesn't care about that girl." I retorted. The fck if he cared about her. He'll find himself grated like cheese. "I just want to teach that Genera a lesson. Parang linta eh."

"But Genera doesn't know you two are married. Stop being reckless, Cheska. Calm down."

I cussed under my breath. "Fine." He is right. Damn, I can't even claim my own man.

"Yow bro have you seen-" A guy stumbled in front of me and splashed his drink on my dress.

"What the-" I was about to finish my curse when Sharpay intervened. I looked at my now wet dress. The cold clung to my torso.

"Hoy, mag-ingat naman kasi kayo! Nakakasira kayo ng gabi. Kayo!" Dinuro niya ang mga kasama ng lalaking nakatapon ng drink sa akin. "Kayo! Bantayan niyo yung tropa niyong lasing!"

I heard Neil clicked his tongue. He then swiftly removed his jacket and covered my front.

"Sorry, sorry, miss..."

"Sensya talaga sa tropa namin," sabi ng isa sa kasamahan ng nakatapon. "Bro, don't roam around kasi." He chided his friend as they walked away.

"Do you have extra clothes with you?" Neil inquired.

I shook my head.

"I can buy clothes for you nearby," presenta ni Sharpay. Sa bagay, may malapit ding mga fashion outlets. However, that would only be a hassle for both of us. I do not want to cause any inconvenience on my bestfriend. We are supposed to be enjoying this night.
