Cali's Queen (Completed) EDITING

CQ-23

His Queen 23

-------------------

''Keiki, I want the monthly report of all the University Clubs here, before lunch.''

''Yes, Pres."

''Danna, take the others and patrol to the whole University. Make sure na walang pakalat-kalat, bago mag start ang klase."

''Yes, Pres."

"Chino, post this to the Bulletin Board. Kailangan iyong mababasa agad, at hindi matatakpan ng kahit na anong ipapaskil."

''Yes, Pres."

As soon as I handed him the paper. Saka pa ako napasandal sa aking upuan. Now, I need to do a monthly appearance check sa buong University. Dapat noong nakaraang linggo pa ito, but since I'm distracted to someone. Hindi ko nagawa. Ngayon ko lang napansin, na halos nakakalimutan ko na ring mag review, nakakalimutan ka ng magbasa. Kung dati libro ang hawak ko, ngayon cellphone. But thankfully, I'm over it now. I can focus on my studies now.

Iyon lang ang dapat mong isipin Azula. Focus on your studies.

I adjusted my eye glasses and check the papers on my desk. In a few weeks. Malapit ng mag Christmas Ball. Another task again. Kailangan ko na namang magpatawag ng General Meeting para sa lahat ng Class Pres. ng bawat Department. My phone vibrated, at para akong tanga na napapitlag. I took a deep breath before opening it.

Fr: Mama

Azula, anak. Sasamahan ko ang Daddy mo, paluwas ng Cebu. I'll be gone for a week. Please understand. I love you.

Please understand...Tss...

Binura ko agad ang text at hindi nag-abalang mag reply. Dumukdok ako sa mesa habang nakasandig ang aking pisngi sa aking braso. Simula kagabi, hindi na siya nag text. Hanggang ngayon, at hindi ko padin siya nakikita simula kanina. Damn! I miss that asshole. Tuluyan akong humilig sa mesa.

Ano kayang ginagawa niya ngayon? Is he with his friends? Or is he with her--Wag naman sana. I know I asked a space. And if he really mean his words, hindi siya magloloko kahit pa humingi ako ng kaunting oras na makapag-isip. I just need some time, En. I really wanted to trust you again, but eversince my Father broke the meaning of that word. I began having that trust issue.

''Knock, knock."

Mabilis na umangat ang ulo ko ng makarinig ng boses. ''Morgianna?'' Kimi siyang ngumiti at inilagay ang dalawang kamay sa kanyang likuran. She didn't move an inch. Umayos ako ng upo at inayos ulit ang salamin ko. ''Come in.''

Saka pa siya pumasok at naupo sa upuang nasa harap ng mesa ko. ''I heard what happened to you and to Cali.'' She crunches her skirt. Tumaas ang kilay ko sa inaarte niya. Ano ba ito nauntog? Dahil dapat sa mga oras na ito, nagwawala na siya at nageeskandalo. That's her character right?

"'What are you up to, Addecer?'' pinagkrus ko ang braso sa aking dibdib. I won't buy her acting. Hindi ako tanga at mas lalong di ako ignorante sa mga nababasa at nakikita ko. Ilang beses na akong nakabasa ng ganito at nakapanood.

Her eyes widened. And then she bit her lips. ''I know, hindi naging maganda ang mga pagkikita natin. But I really feels so sorry for what I did, yesterday night. it's just that, I can't still let go of Cali. But believe me!" tumitig siya ng diretso sa aking mata. I can't see any glint of lies on her eyes. ''Ng makita ko kung gaano siya nasaktan sa paghihiwalay ni---"

"---I didn't broke up with him. Space lang ang hinin---"

"-----Well, for him! It's just the same!"
