Loving Him Secretly (Crush Series #6)

Prologue

~

"Krys! Ano ba namang grado ito, 97 really?"

Dinig sa kabilang barangay ang sigaw na iyon ni mommy. I was grade 9 right now and I'm giving her my card for our 2nd grading.

"Mom, I'm s-still the top one." Giit ko naman, totoo naman kasi top one ako sa klase.

"But it's 97, I told you na 99 naman para mas mataas sa dati mong grado!" Napapikit ako dahil hindi ko na alam ang  gagawin at sasabihin pa.

"I-I'm sorry mom," That's all I should say lagi namang gan'to lahat ng sasabihin ko sa bandang huli.

"Mom!" Tinig iyon ni Kuya Kit na kakagising lang, marahil ay napagod siya kahapon galing Spain para makipagnegotiate lang. "Ano na naman ba 'yan?"

"You're sister is not giving me the grade I want!"

"Mom tao 'yang kapatid ko! She's not a computer, she's a person afterall." Kuya defended me, he look me and give me a warm smile.

"Ano bang maintindihan mo sa salitang gusto ko ng makakuha siya ng mataas na marka para magkaroon siya ng buhay na matiwasay!" We know mom, she will never accept a failure, eventhough she wasn't right ay tama parin siya.

"Naturingan kang abogado pero ganyan ka magpalaki ng anak mong babae," Sumbat ni Kuya.

"How dare you to use me that!"

"And how dare you to insult my sister, anak mo 'yan mom! Abogado ka diba? Bakit ni minsan ba hindi ka nakaranas ng line of 7? Ni minsan ba hindi ka nakaranas ng pagkababa? Mom! Tangna naman anak mo 'yan oh!" I was sobbing because Kuya's defending me, halatang gusto niya pang matulog namumungay pa ang kanyang mga mata.

"You never knew dahil hindi mo napagdaanan ang naranasan ko noon!" Mom was already crying na.

"At gagawin mo sa kanya 'yong ginawang pagdisiplina nina Lolo sa 'yo?"

"Please, tumigil na po kayo!" I was crying, I can't breathe.

"Krystal! Krystal!" Inaatake na naman ako ng asthma ko.

Our family doctor is checking me, mabuti naman raw ang aking kalagayan huwag lang akong masyadong ma-stress. But how can't I when I needed to aim a highest grade?

Kapag wala si Kuya Kit ay saka lang ako pinapagalitan ni mommy and dad being not around doesn't know what is happening. Si Kuya Louisse naman ay wala naman 'yong pakialam sa mundo kahit sa bahay man lang.

Ako ang bunso sa magkakapatid, my life was never been so easy. As a top student I need to know this and that, I need to follow what my mother wants for me.

I'm in my school, and this is what I called my escaping in our house. But who am I kidding gano'n rin naman dito.

"Look the girl who is nothing but a salot to our school!" Tania's maarte mode is on, I didn't mind her. This is always be my morning routine, walang pinagbago at kailan pa ba 'to magbabago?

"Tania why don't you just ekkkkk her, you know what I mean." Trisha's in her maldita mode now.

"Masyado ka kasing umaaligid kina Drake, Sed and Louisse masyado kang malandi!" Sinabunutan ako ni Tania, binuhusan ako ng mabahong tubig ni Dianne at Sinampal ni Criza.

"That's bagay on you." Pinagtatawanan lang ako ng mga estudyante without even knowing that Louise was my brother and the two was my cousin.

"Malandi kasi!"

"Bagay lang 'yan sa kanya!"

"Masyadong papansin!"

"Yakkkk!"

This thing wasn't knew about my brother and cousins, hindi ko naman sila pinapatulan kasi hindi ako mahilig ng away.

They were just stopped when Kent Lyren Garcia was fuming mad walking toward us. Nanginginig ako dahil sa lamig at dahil sa kaalamang papunta siya sa amin.

He was my crush when we were grade 3, I was inlove by him and I can't stop my feelings for it kahit alam ko namang mali ang mahalin siya. He was a famous football player, a genius one and a multi-talented man and he have many fans.

"Anong nangyayari dito?" Brusko ang kanyang tinig, he was grade 10 while I'm grade  9 pa.

"W-wala naman Kent." Trisha uttered, ni hindi siya makatingin sa lalaki.

I just low down my gaze, hindi ko siya kayang tingnan dahil baka ikahimatay ko lang pag nagkataon man.

"Are you okay?" He get his towel and wipe my hair gently even my face.

He held my chin to face him, I still didn't met her gaze because I know it will end my world. Wala akong nagawa nang iangat niya ang paningin ko sa kanya. Our eyes met, para akong nakukuryente sa paraan ng pagtingin niya sa akin.

"Let me help you to wash your face." He smiled at inalalayan akong maglakad.

Para akong nanghihina nang hawakan niya ang kamay ko, hindi matanggap ng sistema ko when he covered my face using his hands para hindi ako makita. Someone murmured and muttered a curse but I didn't mind them. Basta ang atensyon ko ngayon ay  nasa lalaking katabi ko lang na seryoso sa kanyang ginagawang pag-aalalay sa akin.

Nang makarating kami sa comfort room ay kaagad niya akong binitawan saka naghihintay na pumasok ako sa girls cr. I bite my lower lip and bow on him, I suddenly in to the cr. Sobra iyong kabang nararamdaman ko, I blushed when I look at the mirror.

Nabully ka na't lahat lahat ay lumalandi ka parin! I said to myself pero ngumiti lang ako ng pagkatamis tamis.

Mabuti nalang I always have an extra uniform in my bag because I know this will happen. Pero sobrang memorable no'ng nangyari kanina, iyon na ata ang pinakasamayasang nangyari sa buhay ko.

When I finished showering-which is mabuti nalang ay sa may shower niya ako dinala. Nagbihis na ako, when I finsihed dressing up ay lumabas na ako.

Sigurado akong wala na siya dahil may klase pa sila ngayon.

Pagbukas ko ng pintuan ay tumambad sa akin si Kent na nakasandal sa dingding at nakapamulsa pa. When he heard that the door was open kaagad niyang minulat ang kanyang mata and his eyes run throw the whole me.

"Good thing you're okay." He sighed saka ngumiti sa akin, I was melted by his smile.

"T-thank you." I said.

"Hinabilin lang ni Kenneth na sunduin ka," His smile became wider saka ginulo ang buhok ko.

So Kenneth just ask a favor to him kaya bakit ako umaasang tinulungan niya talaga ako ng bukal sa puso.

"Kenneth, pare dito!" Tawag niya kay Kenneth na nasa hallway at halatang may hinahanap.

Nang makita ako ay kaagad niya akong tinungo upang yakapin ng mahigpit.

"Good thing you're okay, did they bullied you again?" He's worrying tone was evidence, I pinch his nose because I am happy that he always feel me that I am safe.

"Sanay na ako."

"Tara hinahanap ka na ni Ma'am, mis Top 1." We chuckled.

"Thanks again bro!" Nag thumbs up pa silang dalawa, once again I threw Kent a glance but he didn't bother to look at me.

I will just love you secretly, Kent Lyren Garcia.
