Unfamiliar Feeling Called, Love?

Chapter 15

I hate him, kaya inirapan ko na siya.

"Hannah! Zaxisha!" it was Harvey's boses who called us.

Hannah took me to were our friend Harvey was, kasama niya ang iba naming mga kaklase sa pagkukwentuhan.

I HEARD laughter from these people around me. Kanina pa sila nagkukwentuha while I'm just nakikinig. Later that moment, I stood up and came to the table para kumuha ng food. I'm nagugutom and I don't care kung wala akong ambag dito, I can pay them in double anyway.

I gazed my eyes over the array of pagkain para pumili ng something pleasant to my sikmura.

"Oh, there's a fish fillet pala ah, not bad." I said mid-air and was about to get a tiny bowl nearby nang may nakasabay ako putting our hands in contact dahilan for me stop for a bit.

It was Jhared, at seryoso lang siyang nakatingin sa akin without uttering a salita.

I ignored him at mabilis na kumuha ng bowl but it was unexpected nang nagkasabay na naman yung hands namin kaya ayon nalaglag yung bowl na nauna ko'ng hawakan.

Inis ko siyang tinignan bago ko napagpasyahang lumuhod para pulutin na yung nalaglag na bowl. He's so nakakaasar.

"Aray-" I reacted when I tried to pick up the bowl but end up being pierced on the finger. I was unaware na may basag na pala yung edge niya.

Without a word, I saw him na lumuhod at mabilis na hinawakana ng kamay ko at tinignan ang daliri. The sugat was small and it's dumudugo na.

I burst air and quickly kept back my hand, "I didn't give you the consent to touch my kamay."

Umiwas lang siya ng tingin.

"Zaxisha ano'ng nangyari?" just then that voice butted into the scene. Tumayo na ako ang face that person, si Harvey na ngayon ay nag-aalalang nakatingin sa akin.

"Patingin nga ng kamay mo." sabi pa niya at mabilis na hiwakan ang kamay ko para suriin.

"It's bleeding." sabi pa ni Harvey, pero agad ko rin namang binawi ang kamay ko.

"It's nothing. Maliit na sugat lang 'to." sabi ko sa kanya.

Harvey turned to Jhared, nakikita ko ang inis sa mukha niya, "Mag-sorry ka.

Si Jhared naman na nakatayo na't pinulot na ang basag ay binigyan lang si Harvey ng tingin bago nilagay ang nabasag na bowl which contains the shards sa ibabaw ng mesa.

"Jhared mag-sorry ka." Harvey demanded again, I know he's just concern for his friend, he's just concern for me.

Jhared seriously turn to him, "I didn't do anything."

"Psh." nasabi ko nalang at napagpasyahan nang umalis sa eksena, masyadong nakakabanas na ng mood.

"Kisha sa'n ka?" Harvey called me.

"Sa sink, I'll just wash the wound. Nawalan na rin ako ng gana." I told him bago.

I saw Harvey na napabuga ng hangin at sinamaan ng tingin si Jhared. Si Jhared was just looking at me silently, and I just don't know lang ha but there's this concern that his eyes were projecting while looking at me, and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Hindi ko naman siya sinukuan eh, sabi pa niya sa akin hindi niya ako iiwan, na sasamahan pa niya ako sa graduation pero wala eh... HUHUHU!"

So heto, nakapoker-face nalang ako, and crossed my arms habang nakikinig sa kadramahan ng isa sa mga kaklase ko. Lasing na siya at ngayon ay umiiyak habang inaalo naman ng ilan sa mga kaklase ko.
