Marrying My Destiny (COMPLETED)

Chapter 24: "Friends"

[ Destiny POV ]

"Girl, haba ng hair mo. Nakatitig sa iyo ang hottie na ex-jowabells mo." Panunukso sa akin ni Owen habang magkasama kaming nakaupo sa cafeteria ng school. Hindi ko sya pinansin at patuloy lang sa pagkain ng sizzling squid ko. Huwag lang akong masagad sa titig ni Liam at baka tumilapon ang sizzling plate sa mukha nya. "What kind of love spell did you use on him, girl? Share mo naman sa akin ng magamit ko sa isang hottie din na mhin para magka-jowabells din ako na D na D sa akech."

Hinampas ko sya sa balikat. Love spell? Wala kayang nangyaring ganun sa amin dalawa ni Liam. Basta nung naging kami para subukan kung mag-wowork ang kasunduan sa namin ay nainlove na kami sa isa't-isa yun lang hindi yata kami ang tinadhana.

"There's no such thing, Owen, kung mamahalin ka ng isang tao ay yun ay dahil sa free will nya."

Nagkibit balikat sya. "He's staring at you again."

I bow my head down while continuing my food. Naiilang na din kasi ako sa pagtitig ni Liam. Since I had read the email that he sent me, I had felt even more uncomfortable in his presence. So uncomfortable to the point that I avoided going to the family get-togethers and resorted on going and leaving to school on time.

Yes, alam ko na kabaliwan yun but heartbreak, humiliation and rage can drive a person to such lengths. Iniisip ko nga na ang bahay at school ang dalawang lugar where I could find reprieve from the 'couple', knowing that Liam is banned from our house according to my kuyas and he being already finished from a College degree and even Masteral, so I didn't have to worry about him enrolling para i-stalk ako or anything. Of course, leave it to Liam to find a way about it.

"Holy cow girl, Liam si coming over here! He is so guwapo." Owen shrieked excitedly. Bigla akong nagtaas ng tingin at napatunayan ko na totoo ang sinasabi ng kaibigan. Nanlalaki ang mga mata ko habang papalapit ng papalapit si Liam sa puwesto namin. Sinabi ko na nga ba at makakagawa sya ng paraan na makaaligid sa akin. But what did he do this time?

"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly as soon as he stood in front of the table that Owen and I were occupying. Crap. He was even more handsome than I remembered. Really not fair because I think I look terrible now.

"Liberty is already in her sixth month of pregnancy so nanghingi ako ng permiso sa school administration para makapunta dito sa University nyo during her breaks and vacant periods to check up on her."

"What?! Ang lakas mo naman sa admin ng school at isa pa, hindi ba at parang ang OA mo naman at kailangan mo pang i-check up si Liberty tuwing break at vacant?"

"I am not being OA because your cousin is still a teenager so technically her pregnancy is considered high risk."

I rolled my eyes. High risk pregnancy my ass! Whatever, people have been having babies for centuries, what's the big deal about hers?! Gusto ko sanang isigaw yun sa mukha ni Liam pero hindi ko ginawa. Magmumukha lang akong bitter much at insensitive.

"Yun naman pala eh, nandito ka para i-check ang buntis na pinsan ko, ano at nakatayo ka sa harap ko ngayon?" Inis na sabi ko. Nakakainis lang kasi na alalang-alala sya sa pagbubuntis ni Liberty. Does he cares for her more than he cared for me?

"Because I wanted to talk to you." He said.

"We are already talking in case you have forgotten." I said sarcastically.
