Unforgettable Taste

Chapter 5

Reconcile

It's been three weeks, and for that Three weeks, Varione and I didn't spoke to each other after what happened. I was embarrassed, so I rarely left the classroom. Hindi ako iniwan ni Nia, dito nadin kami naglulunch. For almost three weeks, that has been our routine. Varione attempted to speak with me , but I refused. I'm still mad and annoyed.

Professor Nathan announced that there will be a concert next week but I don't think I'll attend. I checked my social media accounts nalang after that. Hindi ko padin pala naisasauli ang baunan ni Varione. There are times that he would go to our classroom pero hindi ko siya pinapansin, after what he've done, I don't think I can still Face Saturn.

I've left a bad impression, damn. Some of our classmates heard about it but I didn't mind them. Kay Saturn lang ako nahihiya.

Nandito ako ngayon sa bench, iniwan ko muna si Nia sa library kasi may kukunin pa daw siya. Ang tagal naman ni Nia, naiinip na ako. Napalingon ako sa pinto ng library at niluwa no'n si Saturn na nakatingin lang sa libro niya. Fck, did he saw me? Agad kong tinakpan nang book ang mukha ko para hindi niya ako mapansin.

Sinilip ko naman kung nando'n pa si Saturn pero pagtingin ko'y wala na siya do'n. I feel relieved hays. Naramdaman kong may tumabi sa'kin kaya't agad akong lumingon kung sino 'yon.

"Fck!" napasigaw ako nang bumungad sa'kin ang mukha ni Varione na nakangiti. Sh*t, buti hindi nagshut down heart ko.Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay and was about to walk away pero he grabbed my hand.

Tinignan ko siya ng masama at aalis na sana ang kamay ko nguniy may inilabas siyang ice cream mula sa likudan niya.

"Ice cream?" he said at ngumiti siya na parang dog.

Fck, what is he doing? Pagkalabas niya no'ng ice cream ay saka ito ngumiti. Does he think na hindi na ako galit sa kanya? Kinuha ko sa kanya ang ice cream at umalis na do'n.

I still don't want to talk to him, everytime na nakikita ko siya ay naaalala ko 'yong pagkapahiya ko In front of Saturn.

"Nia!" ani ko nang lumabas sa library si Nia.

Sumunod pala si Engot.

"Bati na kayo?" she asked. Hindi ako sumagot at kinain lang ang ice cream na bigay ni Varione.

I'm still mad at him, feeling ko lahat na ng tao dito sa school ay alam na ang kahihiyang ginawa ko.

"Nia, pupunta ka next week?" tanong ni Varione kay Nia. Hindi ko sila pinansin at tuloy tuloy lang sa paglalakad.

"Hindi  ko alam kay Erin, kung pupunta siya edi pupunta din ako" rinig kong sambit ni Nia. I don't have any plans on going pero I feel bad if Nia won't come also. Alanganin pa ako.

Tuloy tuloy lang ako sa paglalakad habang kinakain ang ice cream na bigay ni Varione. Hindi ko nalang sila pinapansin, why isn't he leaving yet? Wala ba siyang klase? He's papansin talaga.

I decided to check my insta habang naglalakad ako. Eating ice cream while doing nothing is a little bit awkward. I have new followers again, I don't know some of them.

I had a new notification while browsing my insta.

Ting_inamo liked your new post.

What a nice username he has. Who is this ba? He's been liking my post, mula pa last week. Wala ata siyang nalagpasan na posts ko na hindi niya nailalike. Let me check his profile nga.

Future ng Accountant

He's handsome naman pero he's not my type. He has a girlfriend na siguro, it says there na he's the future of an accountant. Weird naman.
