Trace to Remember (Fate Collides Series #1) [UNDER REVISION]

Chapter 14

“You've been MIA for almost a week Cose! What happen to you? How about your studies?”

Pina-ulanan nila ako ng sermon pag-pasok ko. Almost one week ko ding hindi naka-usap si Kael, I've been hiding from everyone. I can't really face anyone for the past few days, not that I'm still full of hatreds with myself, my parents and our wealth.

“Si Kael, if you really had seen his face.” Sabi naman ni Cassy, mas lalo akong nag-alala. I can't face him right now, pero I don't have any choice.

“He's always searching for you, pumupunta sa bahay nyo pero palaging sinasabi ng maids nyo na wala ka.” Sabi ni Zades.

“There's a problem, my parents already knew about our relationship, and she's been stopping us. Gusto nya makipag-hiwalay ako kay Kael.”

Napa-singhap sila sa sinabi ko, buong one week wala akong ginawa kundi ang umiyak at magalit sa kanila. Grounded ako, they didn't let me used any gadget, as if I'm a teenager. Hindi pwede pumunta sa ibang lugar.

“What's your plan?” Naih asked.

“I don't have a plan. But one thing is for sure, I won't break up with Kael.” Napa-tango nalang sila at nagsimula na kami makinig sa klase, pagdating ng Prof namin.

Paglabas namin ng room, naabutan ko agad si Kael na nag-aabang sa labas. Nag-iba ang itsura niya, he looks so tired and stress. Malaki ang eyebags, hindi maayos ang buhok.

“Sette!”

Naka-agaw ng atensyon ang pag-sigaw nya kaya napatingin ang mga tao sa amin. Hinila niya ako sa garden at hinawakan ang mga pisngi ko.

“I'm so worried, okay ka lang ba? You don't answer my text and calls.”

Tinitigan ko lang siya at pinagmasdan ang itsura niya, bakit hindi makita ng parents nya kung gaano kabuting tao ni Kael, kung gaano ko siya ka-mahal?

“I miss you.”

Kinulong niya ako sa bisig nya and I can't help but to cry all my pain. He's my home, what will happen if they take him away from me?

“Damn, I miss you so much baby.”

Niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit. Wala akong balak sabihin sa kanya kung anong nangyari, I will just make an alibi. Ayoko mag-worry siya, he's enough. Ayokong isipin nya na may kulang sa kanya, na hindi kami pwede dahil lang sa status ng buhay namin.

Kumain na kami at binilhan niya ako ng maraming foods and he didn't even take his eyes off me.

“You look so thin. Kumakain kaba ng maayos?”

Tinali nya ang buhok ko and nilagay sa likod ng tainga ko ang ilang hibla na naka-harang sa mukha ko.

“Yes, I'm just on my diet.” I lied. I don't eat much kasi wala akong gana.

“Please 'wag kana mag-diet. Hindi mo na kailangan nun, you're already sexy.” Namula naman ako sa sinabi niya, I missed his sweet words, how he compliments me.

“Sure?” Tanong ko sa kaniya.

“Pretty sure.”

Pang-gagaya niya sa akin kaya hinampas ko siya sa braso na ikinatawa niya lang. Naka-tingin sila sa amin, they knew there's really a problem but they also knew how we tried our best not to show it.

“Date tayo?” Pag-yaya ko sa kanya.

“Seriously? Ano yun cutting?”
