Angst Academy: His Queen

Chapter 57

"So how's Wynona? Huh?" His forehead knotted and I watch him gritted his teeth while remembering something.

"She's badly hurt and thanks God she's now okay."

"That's good to hear, atleast you can sleep well," I simply teased him and sipped on my juice.

"Of course that's go— what the fuck? Like I care on her. She's just a reaper." Umiwas siya ng tingin habang namumula ang pisngi. Napailing na lamang ako at hindi na umimik pa. He's really in denial.

Napatingin ako kila Sunshine at Clarence na nasa harap ko. Puno ng pagtatakha ang mukha nila habang nakatingin kay kuya Love. Clarence looked at me with questioning expression.

"Sino siya, Eirian?" He asked with his soft voice. Sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Sunshine na hindi naman niya nakita dahil sa pagtitig kay kuya. Bigla siyang binatukan ni Sunshine.

"Tangina mo bakla, ano? Maglalandi ka diyan?" Busangot ang mukha ni Sunshine. But Clarence seems mesmerized on kuya Love that he didn't even realize that Sunshine hit him on his head. Napatayo lang siya nang mag-walk out si Sunshine para sundan ito.

"What just happened?" Kuya Love asked innocently. I just shrugged and resume eating.

Tahimik lamang kaming kumakain hanggang sa may umupo sa aming harap. Hindi na ako kumibo. I don't mind if someone share the table with us. Besides, this isn't mine.

"Wait," I heard kuya started. "You're the one who stole Agape from me week ago, right?"

Doon ako napaangat ng tingin nang magsalita si Love. And in front of us is Greg staring at me. His hair was is in its usual state. His dark eyes are fixed on mine. Habang mariin na magkalapat ang kaniyang labi na tila may ikinagagalit siya at may hindi nagugustuhan.

His eyes landed on Love for seconds, "I never stole someone from you, especially her since she's mine from the very beginning," he said in a serious and blank tone at nilipat muli sa akin ang tingin.

I sighed and shook my head. Narito na naman ba silang dalawa para mag-asaran sa harap ko? I'm just really tired and want to be alone. I want a silent place where no one will disturb me. I should go back to my dorm, then.

"Ah, really? Mind you boy, I'm one of those men that came first on her life than you," Love said arrogantly. Pinanood ko ang pag-igting ng panga ni Greg at kunot ang noo. Ang makakapal niyang kilay ay magkasalubong na naman and his dark eyes became darker than the usual.

"Alright. But I don't care whoever the first man, definitely, I'll be the last. So if you can, please fuck off."

"But I can't fuck off. I think, it should be you. You don't deserve her Levin Gregory Monteverde."

Naagaw noon ang atensyon ko. I looked at Love confusedly. Paano niya nalaman ang pangalan ni Greg? Oh, right. Maybe he did a background check again.

Lalong napikon ang mukha ni Greg. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa kanilang dalawa. Para silang mga bata na nag-aasaran at nag-aagawan ng laruan. Pinatong ni kuya Love ang braso sa ibabaw ng mesa at ngumisi kay Greg.

"I'm Love Caden Vidalez, by the way. Just for your information. And the girl beside me is Eirian Agape Vidalez. If you're really dumb, then think that we are married couple." Kuya Love chuckled. Napailing akong muli at napakamot sa noo. Mas binilisan ko na lamang ang pagkain.

Matagal na kunot ang noo ni Greg na tila inaanalisa ang sinabi ni Love. Sunod ay nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin niya sa 'ming dalawa. I can almost him cursing inside his mind. Muli ulit akong napailing at tumayo na. Napatingin sila sa aking dalawa.

"Solo na kayong dalawa ngayon. Go, get to know each other muna kayo. At please lang, huwag kayong lumapit sa 'kin kasi nakakabwiset na kayo."

With that, I left.
