Prank Gone Wrong (Contract Series #1) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Nanginginig ang tuhod ko ng sandaling umandar yung taxi na sinasakyan ko at nasiguradong hindi na nakasunod sa'kin si Eris. My heart beat was moving so fast that I couldn't breath normally. Sinusundan niya 'ko kanina kaya wala 'kong nagawa kung hindi gumawa ng paraan at 'yon ay sumakay ng taxi kahit hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta.

Ayoko pa namang umuwi dahil maaga pa at for sure wala 'kong aabutan sa apartment dahil bukod sa nasa school pa sila Chelsea, hindi naman nila 'ko papansinin kung sakaling nandoon din sila. I was stuck on being alone. I was stuck of talking with myself because no one wants to hear all of my rants in life.

Manong driver just looked at the mirror above him and he looked so worried on me.

"Ayos lang po kayo, Ma'am?" Bigla akong natauhan at natigil lahat ng iniisip ko ng magsalita yung taxi driver.

I just nodded as a respond. I wipe the sweat that running on my forehead down to my cheek using my handkerchief when Manong just asked me again.

"Boyfriend niyo po ba yung tinatakbuhan niyo kanina?" Halos masamid ako sa tanong niya. Kasama ba sa trabaho niya yung tanungin ako ng mga personal na bagay? Dinaig pa niya yung interviewer sa company ni Dad, e. It really sucks!

"Hindi po." Hindi na siya muling nagtanong. Nahalata niya siguro na I'm not comfortable of talking about personal matters. I make myself busy while looking at outside of the window of this taxi. It gaves me relaxing effect. Sa tuwi kasing nakatingin ako sa paligid sa labas habang umaandar yung sasakyan, narerelax yung isip ko. I temporarily forget all the problems I have because of that. I wish it could lessen all the things I think about.

Huminga ako ng malalim ng sandaling bumaba ako sa taxi na sinasakyan ko. I was looking at the place where I was standing at. Napagdesisyunan kong pumunta muna sa mall since there's no other places to go. I just realized that I have to spend more time with myself dahil nitong mga nakaraang araw nakakalimutan ko ng unahin yung sarili ko. I was too distracted on the things that bothering me. Mabuti na rin 'to para kahit papano makapag-isip isip ako. Hindi ko kasi magawang magdesisyon para sa sarili ko dahil nasanay ako na laging may nagmamando sa'kin kung anong dapat at hindi dapat gawin. But now that I'm living my life independently, I need to decide for myself without someone who's ruling my life. Because now, no one could ever do it for me.

I find a vacant seat para ilapag yung bag ko dahil ilang minuto na rin akong naglalakad sa loob ng mall at hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. I just having a walk. I heaved a heavy sigh when I totally find a place to seat. Wala pang masyadong nangyayari sa maghapon pero parang isang buong week na yung pagod ko.

I decided to go to fast food restaurant na malapit lang sa kinauupuan ko. Kanina pa 'ko paikot ikot. I already starving for food to eat. Mom always told me na masama sa katawan yung palaging sa fast food kumakain pero wala naman akong choice dahil hindi ako marunong magluto. Kung maayos lang sana kami nila Chelsea e'di I don't have to worry about food to eat dahil sila ang magaling magluto.

I go to the counter to order for food. Medyo mahaba yung pila so I have to wait for almost 15 minutes. Puno na rin sa loob at wala ng mapwestuhan so I have to wait for another minute just to get a table and I finally eat my food. This is the same restaurant where me and Eris eat. The same place where he confess out what he's feeling for me. Sandali akong napahinto ng maisip yung ideyang 'yon. Itigil mo 'yang iniisip mo, Rio!

While I'm eating my food. Hindi parin mawala sa isip ko yung paghabol sa'kin ni Eris kanina. Nakokonsensya ako sa ginawa ko sa kanya. He's too good to me. He doesn't deserve that kind of treatment. Bakit ganon? Sa sobrang bait niya sa'kin nakokonsensya ako na iniiwasan ko siya. I get my bag when my phone suddenly rang.
