-Punishment -
Napa kurap-kurap ako. W-What did he say?
"Huh?"
He stood up and stared at me intently. "Why? Are you expecting something?"
My eyes widened. "Huh?! H-Hindi ah..A-Ano namang eexpect ko sa'yo! Tsk!"
Tinulak ko siya ng bahagya. "Tabi!Nakaharang ka sa daan. Kanunuod mo ng disney kung ano-anong pinagsasabi mo! tsk,tsk, corny." kunwaring sabi ko.
He frowned. "What? I'm not watching disne-"
Hindi kuna siya pinansin, I walked to the kitchen and immediately drink some water. Napahawak ako sa parteng dibdib ko at kinapa ito. My heart is damn beating so fast!
"Ha! My Cinderella,my ass.. Ang corny niya, Tsk." I rolled my eyes and drink water again.
"Okay ka lang, Young lady? Bakit ngumingiti ka ng mag-isa jan?"
Napatalon ako sa gulat at muntik ng mabulunan. Geez! Ito na naman siya. "Hayst! Why do you always show up!"
Napakamot siya ng ulo. "Eh? Kanina pa kaya ako nandito, Young lady, hindi mo ata ako napansin e." kinuha niya sa akin ang basong ginamit ko at pumunta sa lababo.
Is she really here?
Napapahiyang inilinga ko ang mata ko ng may maalala ako. "Teka! A-Anong sabi mo kanina?"
She looked at me confused. "Ang alin,Young lady?....Iyon bang hindi mo ako napansin?"
Umiling ako. "No,Not that. The other one, 'yung una!"
Mas kumunot ang noo niya. "Eh?....Iyong kung okay ka lang ba?"
Sumama ang mukha ko."Hindi! 'Yung isa pa!" hindi maka-pag hintay kung sabi.
She took the white cloth and wiped the washed glass while thinking. "Isa pa?....Ah!" Tumingin siya sa akin. "'Yung bakit ka ngumingiti ng mag-isa? 'Yun ba 'yun , Young lady?"
I frowned. Ngumingiti? Mag-isa?
"W-Wait.. Are y-you saying that I'm smiling earlier?" hindi maka paniwalang tanong ko.
She nodded. "Yes,Young lady. Ganun na nga, ngumingiti ka na parang kinikilig. Ganun ba."
What? What the effin way! I did that?!
I covered my mouth and shook me head. "No way! Nababa-"
Hindi ko natuloy ang sasabihin ko ng magsalita siya. "Siguro in love ka ngayon,Young lady noh?"
Gulat akong napatingin sa kanya. "What?!"
"Luh!OA ka, Young lady?"
Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "No! I'm not! I. Am. Not?!" sigaw ko at lumabas ng kitchen.I went to the garden and sat in the gazebo.
Tsk!Me? In-love? No way!
PASAKAY na ako ng sasakyan ko ng makita ko si Leo, palabas ng bahay at linalaro ang susi sa daliri niya. He looked at my direction so I immediately averted my eyes.
Why the hell am I looking at him? Tsk! I shook my head at ipinag-patuloy na ang pagsakay sa sasakyan and drove away.
He no longer rides to me going to University because he already has a car. Tsk! The car he used on their date with that woman! Mas nauna pang makasakay sa sasakyan niya 'yong babaeng 'yun kesa ak-
I shook my head and laughed. "What am i thinking?"
I'm parking my car to my favorite spot when a fast vehicle suddenly parked there.
"What the?" I stopped my car and went out.I immediately walked to the driver's seat to knock on his window.
"Hey!Get out of here!" tinignan ko siya ng masama but he just jerk smiled at me. The hell! The nerve of this guy.
I knocked even harder. He lowered the window a little and smiled sweetly at me.
Geez! I want to punch his face right now. Lumapit ako ng bahagya sa bintana.
"Get. your. car. out. of. my. spot. you jerk." I also patiently smiled at him even though I was annoyed with him.
He looked to the front, he even held his chin as if his thinking and looked back at me. "Spot? Where?"
Where?! What is his real problem! He knows this is my favorite spot!
Naiinis na talaga ako. "Hey! Just get your car out of here and find another! You're wasting my time!" I leaned and slammed his window causing the other students in the parking lot to averted their eyes to our direction.
He laughed. "All right, All right...." he looked at me carefully,our eyes met but I did not take my eyes off him. We stared at each other for a few second before he spoke.
"...kiss me and say I love you first."
I blinked. What did he just say?
My eyes widened when i realized what he had said. "What?! Are you crazy? You're asking me to...to kis-"
I could not continue what I was about to say when he suddenly enlarged the open window and brought his face close to mine and whispered. "Shh..Someone might hear you."
"You, what the he-"
He cut me off. "Is that yours?"
I frowned. "What?"
He smirked. "I can hear your heartbeat."
I blinked. "h-huh? W-What heartbeat?" wala sa sarili kung tanong.
He chuckled and pat my head, napasinghap ako, tatanggalin kuna sana ang kamay niya sa ulo ko when he pulled me closer to him. My gash! I can smell his mint breath.
Our eyes met but no one seemed to looked away. I think I can't breath properly, I can also feel my heart beating so hard. Is this what he referring earlier? Geez! He heard that! He heard my hearbeat! How? The f!?
I stared into his eyes. Why do I seem to have seen his eyes before? Nakita kuna ba siya dati? When I stare at his face I feel like I know him. I feel like I relly know him before but I do not remember....
"Ehem!" someone cleared her throat so we immediately looked to that person while we are still in that position. It's Shania.
"Oh? Hindi parin mag hihiwalay? Hanggang mamaya pa ba kayong ganyan?"
I blinked and immediately looked at Leo. My eyes widened when I realize our position, kunting galaw nalang mahahalikan na niya ako. Ugh!
"Y-Your hand please." I whispered shyly.
Wait, what? Shyly? Oh c'mon.
He also cleared his throat before letting go my head. I stand properly, I looked around, I saw our school mates looking at us with different expressions on there faces. Tumingin ako kay Shania na malawak ang ngiti at mukhang nang-aasar.
Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata before glancing at Leo, tinignan ko siya ng masama at naglakad palapit sa sasakyan ko. It looks like I need to find another parking area.
OUR class finished. I'm fixing my things when Marc approached me.
"Sofia, can I talk to you?"
I frowned. "Okay."
"Uh. Hindi sana dito. Can we go outside? Sa cafe sana."
I glanced to my friends, nahagip rin ng mata ko si Leo habang mataman na nakatingin sa amin, his eyes were dark. What is his problem?
Umiling nalang ako at pumayag kay Marc. I said goodbye to my friends before we go to a cafe. Hindi kuna rin pinansin pa si Leo.
"I'm sorry." bungad niya ng maka-upp kami.
Naguguluhan ako, what is he sorry about? Did he do something bad? Or.... my suspicion is correct? Does he have an hidden agenda why he approached me?
"Why?" I said coldy.
Napayuko siya. "Beca-" he was about to speak when his cellphone rang. "Excuse me."
I just nodded. My order also came so I eat instead of thingking about it. Masaya akong kumakin ng biglang may humila sa katapat kung upuan at umupo siya doon.
What is he doing here? Napataas ang isa kung kilay at tinignan siya ng nagtatanong na mata. "What the hell are you doing here? hindi kapa umuuwi?"
He lazily turned his gaze at me as if his saying that 'isn't it obvious?'.
"Why? Am I not allowed here?" he said sarcastically.
Napairap ako. Wala naman akong sinasabi, tsk! Ang lalaki talang 'toh. Nakakainis talaga. Naiinis parin ako sakanya because of what he did earlier but.... Why is my heart crazily beating so fast right now?
"I'm sor-" naputol ang sasabihin ni Marc ng bumalik siya when he notice that I'm not alone. Nagkatitigan silang dalawa. Leo's eyes turned dark while staring at Marc. Why is that?
I cleared my throat. I glance at Leo. "Can you please stand and look for another seat mr.?" I smiled at him, he glared at me still not standing. What the hell? Ano ba talagang problema niya? Nakita naman niyang may kasama ako e.
I sighed heavily before standing to face Marc. "Hanap nalang tayo ng ibang table." I said. Lalampasan kuna sana si Leo when he grabbed my left arm. Tumingin ako sakanya at pinanlakihan ng mata.
"W-What?" I stuttered. What the?
Hindi siya nagsalita at hinila ako palabas ng Cafe. Wala akong nagawa kun'di ang sumunod sakanya.
Nang makalabas na kami ay tumigil na siya, nasa gilid kami ngayon. I slowly pulled my arms from his grip.
"What is your problem?!" I said between my frustration.
His dark eyes turned into darker. He faced me. "You're my problem here, Pia! Sh*t! Why are you always with that fvcking guy?!"
Nagulat ako sa pagsigaw niya. Hindi naman sobrang lakas pero napatingin parin si kuyang janitor sa amin na busy sa pagwawalis sa harap ng cafe.
Tumingin ulit ako kay Leo."Why ba? He just invite me here 'coz he want to talk to me!" I explained.
Lumambit ang expression niya pero bumalik rin ito agad, his eyes turned dark again, parang mangangain na siya ng tao e.
Bumuntong hininga siya. "He's just playing with you."
Napasinghap ako. "What? What did you say? How?"
He explained everything to me that Marc and Kristelle was behind of it. Narinig niya raw ang mga itong nag-uusap sa likod ng school when he was walking for fresh air. Hindi ko alam kung bakit magkakilala ang dalawang 'yon. They're not talking each other in our room. What is there connection?
Napailing ako bago napatingin sa kanya. "Uh.. Is that why you're here?" I asked him.
Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mata. "I'm not just here to say that... I'm also here because I'm your fiance."
I frowned. "Oh, y-yeah?" wala akong masabi. Why? Parang umurong bigla ang dila ko at hindi makapag salita sa harap niya.
"Stop seeing that fvcking guy." he said directly to me.
I smirked. "Are you jealous?"
Nag-iwas siya ng tingin. "No, I'm just.... concerned a-about other people have to say."
Inismiran ko siya. "Really?"
Iniripan niya ako. "Tss, just go home will you?"
I smiled inisin ko kaya siya?
"Paano kung ayoko?" I smiled.
Tinignan niya ako ng masama. "Then I will fvcking punished you."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. "W-What? What punishment?"
He mockingly smirked and leaned on me to whisper to my ear. "I will ...fvck
you until you can't walk anymore."
