The Broken Heart (Business Series 1)✔️

Chapter 2

I just rolled my eyes.

"Hayaan mo na ang mga 'yan inggit lang sila sayo kasi matalino ka sila bobo. Pasahan mo ako ng sagot pag nag exam ha? joke lang." Si Allen at awkward na ngumiti sa 'kin.

I thought these scenarios only happening in high school. I can't believe I will still experience this kind of scene. I thought people here in college are already mature. Mali pala ako meron at meron pa rin talaga na makikitid ang utak. They can't accept that someone is better than them so they will drag you down to be at their level. What a trash mindset!

Maagang natapos ang discussion ng guro namin. It only takes 30 minutes and he already ended it.

I'm on my way at the door of our room when someone blocked me that made me stop stepping. My forehead creased I shifted my eyes to the one who blocked my way. Napaangat ako ng tingin dahil masyado itong matangkad. A brown almond eyes welcomed my sight. The bruises on his face are visible. Ang putok na labi n'ya kanina ay nababalutan na ng band aid.

Dinig ko ang singhapan ng mga kaklase ko sa loob pero pinagsawalang bahala ko na lamang iyon. Sa laki ng katawan n'ya ay halos naukupa na n'ya ang buong space ng pintuan kaya hindi ako makadaan.

"Excuse me." I said in a low and calm tone.

I saw him chuckled. There was a lollipop in his mouth. Lumipat ang mata ko sa kan'yang matangos na ilong. He has a piercing on it. It's not allowed in school, how come he entered inside the school despite having that? Oh, right! He's the son of one of the dean's here! I almost forgot that.

"You are, Eris Lavine Trinidad?" Lumitaw pa ang dimple niya nang nagsalita siya.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Paano ako nakilala ng isang 'to? Bago pa ako magsalita ay may ibinigay na siya sa akin na isang maliit na notebook. At doon nasagot ang aking katanungan. May pangalan ko iyon sa labas ng cover kaya siguro. I thought he was going to leave after he gave it to me but he stayed there.

"Nahulog mo nang magkabanggaan tayo." He explained even I'm not asking anything.

"Thank you."

Hindi pa ba siya aalis? Kating-kati na kasi ang paa ko na lisanin ang room dahil ramdam ko na ang mga titig ng mga kaklase ko.

I saw him surveyed his eyes on my body and then he smirk. Is he a pervert? Well, base on his face he looks like a fuckboy.

"Pwede na."

Napaismid ako at napakunot ang noo sa sinabi n'ya. What? Anong pwede na? What does he mean? Baliw ba 'tong lalaki na 'to? Kung ano-ano pinagsasabi hindi ko naman maintindihan.

"U-uhm—"

Before I could continue what I'm gonna say he suddenly pulled me from the room. Where we going?

"Wait! Stop pulling me! I don't even know you why are you doing this to me?!"

Then, he stop and look at me. Nanunuyo ang lalamunan ko nang inilapit n'ya lalo ang mukha sa mukha ko. My breath hitched for whatever reason. Our faces were in an inches away, now. Konti na lamang at maghahalikan na kami dahil sa sobrang lapit ng mukha namin.

"You don't know me? Then, let me introduce myself. I am Silas Henley Abella, your future boyfriend kidding aside." He smirked and continued pulling me.

Future boyfriend, huh. As if papatol naman ako sayo. You're not my type.

I roamed my eyes around, then I saw that most of the people here in the campus were looking at us. I gulped. I started feeling conscious and dizzy because of the attention I am getting. Sa totoo lang eh hindi naman talaga ako ang binibigyan ng atensiyon kundi ang kasama ko. Pero dahil magkasama kami ay nadamay na rin ako.

I don't want an attention tho. Hindi ako sanay na binibigyan ng atensiyon ng kung sino man kaya hindi ko alam kung ano 'yong mararamdaman ko sa mga oras na 'to. Everything is so surreal. And I hate it to admit it but it feels so good to be noticed by someone but at the same time it's scaring.

Dahil maraming mga mata na nakabantay sayo. And you feel like they just waiting that you make a mistake. And then they will do everything to drag you down.

"Hey? You okay?"

Hindi ko na napansin na nasa labas na kami ng campus dahil sa iniisip. I nodded and sigh heavily.

"No, you're not. Its obvious you can't pretend in front of me."

Lumingon ako sa kan'ya at napansin ko na titig na titig ito sa akin. I could see the concern and worry in his eyes. I couldn't believe it that he has this side. The soft side? He looks like a bad guy that will always make trouble.

Lumipat ang mata ko sa mapula at manipis nitong labi. My eyes turn into crimson. I looked away.

"Get in. We're going somewhere I can do something with your feelings." Kumindat ito.

I saw a black Ferrari ahead of us. Ngayon ko lamang iyon napansin kaya nanlalaki ang mata ko sa gulat at tumingin sa kan'ya.

"Is it yours?" I couldn't not hide the shock in my voice.

That car is hella expensive! I'm not really a fan of those expensive things but the heck I know how expensive that car is! Even my father could work overtime in 1 year but he can't still buy that kind of car! It cost a lot of millions!

Tumikhim lamang siya at tumango. My lips parted I put my hand on my mouth.

"Birthday gift ni Dad when I turn to 20." He opened the door.

"Hindi ako sasakay d'yan. It's very expensive and you are a stranger so it's not good idea to go together with you. Malay ko kung rapist ka pala edi na rape na ako." I shake my head to express my disagreement on his idea.

I have a point tho it's better to be careful. Kaya maraming nakikidnap minsan eh 'yong iba kasi susunod lang kahit hindi naman nila kilala 'yong tao.

I could see the amusement in his face when I said that.

"Seriously? Ako? Rapist? That's quite unbelievable!" He laughed.

"I could get any woman I want!" And he laugh again.

Para'ng baliw lang. What's so funny with what I say? I rolled my eyes at him. I left him there. He didn't notice me leaving because he was busy laughing. Sinamantala ko iyon para makalayo sa kan'ya at pumara ng jeep.

Paalis na ang jeep nang mapansin n'ya na wala na ako roon kung saan ako tumayo kanina. I saw him surveying the area to find me. But he didn't saw me even my shadow. Idiot. I'm already here inside the jeep.

I keep busy looking at what we were passing by. The difference sounds from the vehicles and the sceneries of structures of building somehow comforted me. I couldn't explain why I really like it looking those vehicles passing by. Siguro isa akong sasakyan nong past life. I giggled with that idea.

I'm exhausted when I arrive at home even I didn't do so much in school. I don't know why. Maybe I'm still adjusting. Hindi pa siguro lubusan na nasanay ang sarili ko.

Nadatnan ko si Eonoah na nakaupo sa sofa. She's busy doing her nails. Tumaas ang dalawang kilay nito nang makita ako na papalapit sa kan'ya.

"Huwag ka rito! Didn't you see I am busy here? Alis bilis! Huwag kang magpakita sa akin dahil bad trip ako ngayon!" She shouted.

I sigh heavily and continue walking. Tumungo ako sa kwarto ko. The room were dark when I open the door. I look the switch of the light and on it.

Pumasok ako sa loob at isinara ang pintuan. And then took of the bag. I put it above the side table. I immediately go to the bed and lie down here. I don't know but my body feels so heavy. Lalagnatin yata ako.

Ang daming ganap sa araw na 'to. I met a lot of people. Allen and that asshole Silag? Silay? Whatever. I couldn't even remember his name. I could feel my eyes starting to get heavy. And the last thing I knew I already fell asleep.
