Dating My Hater (Enhypen Series #1)

07

vii.

Tahimik kaming nakaupo habang naglalaro sa kani-kaniyang cellphone ang lahat. Naka cross arm si Heeseung habang nakatingin lamang sa malayo, I swallowed for the nnth time at tumayo.

Naramdaman ko ang mga mata ni Heeseung na naka sunod sa akin, hindi ko ito pinansin at dumiretso sa ibaba. The cold breeze coming from the sea blows, yinakap ko ang sarili ko sa lamig na nararamdaman. Napaka ganda ng tanawin dito sa park, I wonder how much they paid to rent this place.

I sighed as the wind keeps on blowing harder, naililipad na nito ang iilang mga disenyo ng lugar at mga gamit. I inhaled and hold my breath for a second before I exhale.

I was about to go back sa cottage nang makita ko ang kung sino sa di kalayuan, his hand were in his pockets, his polo were being blown ny the wind, and his eyes were glued to me.

I frowned and slowly turned to face the sea once again to avoid his stares. I played with the rocks on the shore, and I just felt his presence beside me.

"Malamig, pumasok kana." he said.

I pretend that I didn't heard him, I just keep playing the rocks with my foot. I heard him sighed and played the rock with his foot too kaya napatingin ako sakaniya.

"Sorry about what happened earlier." he said while still frowning, playing with rocks. "I...I didn't mean to...you know."

I laughed, "Alam mo? You're so full of yourself, but seeing you apologize to me just because you got mad? So pathetic." irap ko.

Nagtaas siya ng kilay sa akin, tinalikuran ko na siya saka nagmadaling magpunta sa may hagdanan ng cottage para makapagpahinga.

But I saw someone as always unexpected. His eyes were darted at Heeseung who's looking at the sea, and then looks at me.

"Hanging out with the famous campus heartthrob, Lee Heeseung huh?" panimula niya.

It's just a question, why am I shivering in fear? I looked away and stood up, akmang aakyat na ako sa papunta sa cottage sa itaas nang mahuli niya ang kamay ko at biglang pinaharap sakaniya.

"Huwga mo akong tatalikuran, Yvette. Di pa tayo tapos." aniya.

Pinipilit kong alisin ang kamay niya sa kamay ko at nagpupumiglas pa nang bigla niya akong sampalin,

"Sabi ng hindi pa tapos eh!" sigaw niya sa akin.

Natigil ako at namanhid ang buong katawan ko, my vision slowly became black and memories flashbacks. I cried silently while I saw my past self, am I really not yet escaped? Am I still on my chains?

Hinawakan ko ang dibdib ko nang unti-unti itong manikip, my heart. I just knew I fainted in someone's arm.

Ginalaw ko ang hintuturong daliri ko at unti-unting binuksan ang mga mata, nakakasilaw na ilaw ang bumungad sa akin. And I realize it's my room, is that all a dream?

Maybe no, I saw my wrist swollen. It's like nostalgic to see myself in bruise and feel pain, I chuckled when I realized I'm still the weak Yvette up until now.

Bumukas ang pintuan ko at pumasok doon si Heeseung na may dalang tray ng pagkain, he smiled weakly at me at inilapag iyon sa side-table ng kama ko. Kumuha siya ng upuan saka umupo sa may gilid ko,

"Eat, I cooked some porridge." aniya.

I looked at him, "Why are you still here?" I asked. "Can't you see it, Heeseung? Nagiging malas ang buhay ko magmula nang lapitan mo ako! Magmula nang kausapin mo ako, bumalik ang buhay ko sa impyerno!" sigaw ko.

I cried so easily, even at this point I'm crying so hard. I realized that ever since we met, we talk, and we're together, I always ended up being beaten.

"Why did you say so?" he calmly asked me.

"Alam mo namang ayaw ko sa'yo hindi ba? Mayabang ka, akala mo sino kanang varsity ng school, kinababaliwan ng lahat. Akala mo lahat ng babae mababaliw sa'yo?! I hate you! Umalis kana sa bahay ko!"

He licked his lips and nod, "Aalis nako, make sure you eat." aniya bago lumabas ng pintuan.

Kung hindi niya lang sana pinatulan si Daniel, hindi lalala ang sitwasyon ngayon. He always shows up whenever I'm with Heeseung, maybe I saw Daniel at first in my class, but after we met Daniel started to be violent on me once again.

I cried all night, naguguluhan ako. Naguguluhan sa mga bagay na hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit nangyayari, kung bakit kailangan kong danasin pa. Is my past not enough at kailangan may part two?

Is that even counted as part two? Or a sequel with more twist and violence? I cried again until I fell asleep.

I woke up late in the evening, I feel hungry. Then I saw Heeseung's porridge on my side table, cold. Bumaba ako para magluto ng omelete rice at uminom ng gatas, I stared at my swollen hand. It's funny to think that my life starting to be like hell once again.

I strum the strings of my guitar as I look up to the sky to witness the bright stars. I hope I'll be a star when I die.

From tomorrow, I will not make myself see Heeseung and try my best to avoid him. Maybe that's the best thing to do right now to avoid Daniel too.

"Okay, so good morning class."

"Good morning, Sir." bati namin pabalik.

I'm wearing a jacket to hide my bruise, since the classroom have aircon it doesn't matter if I'm wearing jackets.

Daniel is absent today, and it's strange to know that. He's a top student, he shouldn't be missing his class. But being him not around, makes me feel at ease.

"Beshy, musta ka? Ayos ka lang ba?" nag aalalang tanong ni Monica.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired." sagot ko.

Tunango siya, "Well yeah, everyone was really worried for you! You even fainted alone the stairs at buti malapit lang sa iyo si Heeseung!" she said.

My eyebrows met, I was about to faint alone? But Daniel was there yesterday!

"Si Daniel? Have you see him?" I asked Monica.

Umiling ito, "Wala, absent siya eh. Bakit mo natanong? Miss mo na ano? Yieee." kantyaw niya.

"No! I mean, yesterday? Have you seen him?"

"Girl, nananaginip kapa ba? Tayo-tayo lang kahapon nina Heeseung at ng mga barkada niya. Barkada ba niya si Daniel? Hindi, edi it means walang Daniel kahapon." irap nito.

It's weird, I don't know what to say. Basta ang alam ko, nandoon si Daniel at halos maputol na niya ang kamay ko sa sobrang higpit ng pagkakahawak sa akin.

I sighed as the things being complicated, I want to ask Heeseung but I can't. Ayokong babaan ang pride ko matapos ko siyang paalisin sa bahay kahapon.

Ano ba talagang nangyari at bakit iba ang kwento ni Monica sa totoong nasaksihan ko?
