My Secret Credibility

Chapter 39

"Oo na, oo na! Nahulog na ako sa'yo kahit isa kang basag-ulo! Well, I knew from back then that my infatuation for you starts to grow into love and--"

"Whatever, 'wag ka na lang maingay kung ayaw mong paalisin kita ngayon at isa pa ay kung tapos ka na magsalita, makakaalis ka na. I mean, yeah." Bumuntong hininga ako, "Basta! Umalis ka na kung nasabi mo na 'yong mga gusto mong sabihin."

Hindi ko ba alam kung saan ko nanaman napulot itong sama kong loob. I wasn't sure if this is all about yesterday. I wasn't sure if Clage is really cheating on me.

God, damn it! He didn't even text me!

Matamlay kong binitiwan ang tubo ng kaniyang polo kaya naman ngumiwi siya, "Ang harsh mo naman. Minsan na nga lang makadalaw e. I mean, first time kong makapasyal dito sa mansyon mo tapos ganito ang pag-trato mo sa akin."

He pouted as I looked away. The door suddenly opened and it was Clage. Oh? Anong ginagawa niya rito? After niyang hindi magtext sa akin, may balak siyang magpakita? Kumunot ang noo ko ng makita siyang may dalang plastik.

It was a blood. Really, huh? After mong hindi magtext may dala-dala ka pang pasalubong?

"Oh! You look familiar!" Geoneo pursed his lips as he tilted his head and started to think, "Oh! I remembered now! You're the man I saw in the mall so, you're Zara's boyfriend, right? Wow! It's been six months ago but, I can't believe that I still remember you. Grabe, ang taas yata ng IQ ko ah?" he even added as he dared to point his brain.

Pumikit ako ng mariin dahil sa kaniyang inasta. Tangina, parang bata! Kailan ka ba magbabagong gago ka? Pinapahiya mo lang sarili mo e!

"Stop it, Geoneo. Go home now, nasabi mo naman na 'yong mga gusto mong sabihin, 'di ba?" I tried to act normal again like as if nothing happened.

"No way! Ngayon na nga lang ako makapasyal dito sa mansyon mo, pinapaalis mo na ako? Why naman gano'n, Zara? Don't worry, my infatuation for you isn't love anymore." Napakamot siya sa kaniyang batok habang humalakhak mag-isa, "Don't worry, Zara's boyfriend! Nakapag-move on na ako! I was only blind that time and I realized that she is not my dream girl anymore. Wala e, basag-ulo kasi siya kaya turn-off sa akin si Zara."

Fuck you, Geoneo! You're getting to my nerves! I suddenly saw Clage how his eyes close by any chance right now.

Tangina, napipikon na siya!

Ginulo ko ang buhok ko dahil sa kaniyang nakakairitang kilos.

"Oh my god, Geoneo! I swear, you need to leave now. We're busy, okay?"

I almost pushed him until we reached the door. Shit! Sana umalis ka na! Humikbi siya palapit sa pinto, "Oo na, oo na! Kaya ko namang umalis mag-isa, hindi mo na ako kailangang itulak pa! Psh, panira ka naman."

I suddenly saw a hidden necklace on his neck. Hindi ko masiyadong makita dahil ito'y nakatago at isa pa ay itim ang kaniyang sweater kaya hindi ko ito makita. Hindi ko napigilang lapitan siya para tignan at hawakan ang necklace na 'yon. Humawak ako sa kaniyang balikat at nag-tiptoe dahil siya'y matangkad.

No way...

"What the fuck are you doing, Zara?!" he suddenly shook his body as I tried to see the necklace once again.

Clage suddenly approached me because of Geoneo's shout but, I ignored him.

'It's not pendant, hija. It's a black necklace, hija. Walang kung anong disenyo ito ngunit, 'wag kang mag-alala dahil matagal pang mangyayari lahat ng ito. May oras ka pa upang iligtas kung sino man ang iyong kaibigan na 'yon.'
