Chapter 47
Stunned, not knowing what to do. My mind was wide open, so much remorse for what had happened. I just realized how wrong it was when he left, saying nothing to at least make me feel less accountable of it.
Even the simple, On some cases, that"s normal when you are under the influence of alcohol. Sorry, that will never happen again '.
Different than I thought he would have done what was happening. Instead of discussing the meaning then, it went away. It left me almost unwilling to leave the post. It's like I just want to stay here all night to meditate. My system is receding to stare at him after the outrage.
Reluctant. I even overcame the drunk in doing so. When I finally reached the place left by my friends, I only found Kiesha. In hindsight, I didn't even notice that the others had left. Amira was left to get drunk alone.
That's how I sighed violently after seeing the scattered empty bottles just near his seat.
"You thought I was hurt? No ..." she murmured.
I quickly attended to it. Annoyed, he snatched the bottle he had just opened.
"Where are the others?"
"Homecoming," he looked up at me. It is almost impossible to open the eyes in intoxication. But she still found a gut to drink another bottle. The nerve! "A-how long have you ... come back ah? You and Zi have probably done something in the woods," she giggled.
My face automatically warmed with intense embarrassment. Suddenly, the hot scene before, the heat, the sensation brought by her hands and kisses came to mind.
Oh my God! Make it stop Geline!
"Hey!" he suddenly stood up. I almost fell down if I hadn't been helped, "You're handsome ah?" its sighing comment to the man who would have just passed by.
It was the guy I saw earlier. The one in white shirt and bored aura. Fergus ... That's his name I remember.
"Amira, don't be scandalous here," I rebuked the friend who obviously no longer knew what was being said.
"What's your name? Is it Zed too? You're ... g* g* too," in a quick motion, he managed to get out of my grasp and approached the man.
"Kiesh-"
I sighed violently. It seems to be nailed to the stand. Panic took away strength after seeing how he slapped the stranger.
"Even if you're close, you're still handsome ... This ish sho unfair! How dare you look thish f ** k*ng good?"
I had trouble rubbing my forehead and shaking. I felt sorry for the man. He was the first to taste my friend"s madness tonight.
"Get off me woman ..." he gently pushed her away. The dark look seemed to be in the middle of a dangerous storm. Reason for me to think maybe it's time to pray for Kiesha's soul.
She pulled the wrong trigger. But as expected, she simply don't care.
"So I don't want you handsome ones. Kashi after you get everything from us, you'll leave right away. G*g*!"
Then I approached when he cursed at the man who was just silent.
"Am I not good enough? I'm beautiful, sexy, rich ... What else is missing?" this time he burst into tears.
"That's enough ... Let's go in," I whispered, just ignoring it.
Persistently rebuke the curious, and at the same time disgusted opposite.
"I am so sorry ..." I apologetically said to him.
"No ... We're not the ones who should be apologizing Geline," she let go from my grip for the second time, "What's with that look mister? Am I that beautiful for your eyes?"
His stare speaks more of danger, than amazed. It seems that Kiesha had too much courage to share her beauty.
"You want my number, you wish to go out with me someday?" she burst out laughing.
Buang na ... I can't imagine the amount of shame she will realize later on. Now I realize we are destined to be best friends. Likes to embarrass himself e.
"I don't go for broken animals, sorry ..."
Kiesha and I sighed at the same time. He was shocked, I was excited.
My bestfriend just found her match! The sass is there, even the blatant remark. What would happen if the two of them moved into the same house? I can oddly imagine mess ...
"What did you say?" I pressed my grip on him. Even before the hand landed on the man's face again.
Maybe it will end in trouble, he still has nothing against it. With just the height and beauty of the body, even the two of us rushed regardless.
"I'm sorry again huh? He's really like this when he's drunk," I bowed slightly.
"Fergus Da Silva ... You're a woman there again, the real fun is about to begin!" shout suddenly of the man I often see on television.
Jake Moralde! The country's newest crush ...
What a small world we have. The person who is being bullied by other women, I'm just in the same place. If only I could brag about this, but I highly dislike the idea. It's okay for me to see it in person. It is true that he is really handsome, tall, and mixed race.
"Coming ..." the guy responded, "Take care of your friend," was his final reminder before leaving.
I watched him slowly fading away. As Kiesha continued to struggle, she suddenly started to cry. I supported him all night.
Until just a moment later, we both fell on the sand.
I was gasping for air as I stared at the sky, sorrounded with stars and I hope meteor showers too. At least one, I hope someone passes. I want to make one wish, only one ...
"What really happened when you went to the forest?"
"Nothing ..." I angrily returned the borrowed book to Nica.
"Why did you take so long to come back?"
"Do you think it's easy to get firewood?"
"I don't know," she shrugged.
The other day he asks about what happened. Three days have passed, but still unable to forget.
We also lit the bonfire immediately after returning them from their respective cabins. Max and Nica changed clothes, while Zi looked for a lighter.
Kiesha finally fell asleep to what would have been the next stage of pleasure. That was not an obstacle for us to carry out the previous plan.
Talked, laughed and continued the previously imagined game. All those times, I've done nothing other than avoiding Zion's gaze. Something that prompted Nica to think something strange had happened when we left to do their bidding.
There is, but they will never know. What happened in there, should be left in there and will remain unspoken forever.
"Zed what? Talk to me."
I automatically turned around after hearing the name of the man yesterday still waiting at the entrance of the university.
I didn't talk to her the next day after Amira's emotional torture, because it was a lie to go to her house to explain.
I'm looking forward to this moment, if I just miss it maybe never come again like this opportunity.
And lucky enough, he was with the snake. I couldn't believe I'd be hitting two birds in one stone.
Let me stand up. Carrying the crumpled book, boldly approached the two of them.
"How dare you both continue living after what you've done?"
"Gee, where's Kiesha? I need to talk to her. You got the wrong idea ..." Zed's voice was mixed with pleading.
"How could that be a wrong idea? He saw you two himself."
"I was just fooled."
"You cheated ... That's the right word."
"Please let me talk to-"
I unleashed a powerful blow, straight into his nose. It bleeds immediately. In great pain he just screamed.
I felt no remorse. Even a professor would see the scene and take us to the faculty.
It would harm me more, knowing that I am an honor student. But for my friend, it's up to you ... Her ex boyfriend deserves it.
"How dare you ?!" Eden the snake bawled as she stepped closer, trying to pull my hair.
I immediately backed away to avoid his attack. And in one quick motion, a kick to the stomach added to it. He lost his balance and fell down. He didn't recover immediately, the reason was that the annoyance was just shouted at.
Very few students saw the scene. Shocked, none of them thought of calling the teacher or the guard to plead.
"That's for hurting my bestfriend," I said in greeted teeth. The blow would have stretched, but Zion's strong grip on the arm prevented it.
He shook his head, telling me to stop it. Then they moved in front of me, in case the two retaliated with a punch.
"You will gonna regret being a sh*t in this world. I may look like an innocent sweet lady. But mind you, I can be worst than your nightmare b*tch*s!"
Even though I couldn't get close to them, I was still able to hurt one last time after thinking of throwing the book in Eden's face. That's a double kill for her.
"Malandi ..."
Triple kill!
Holding Zi's hand, we left in front of them. Walk straight to the outside of the university.
Only now will I miss class again. I just felt the urge to skip class, to breath, to celebrate my successful plan. I was also able to avenge Kiesha.
She didn't ask for this, but I want to do it for her. It was as if I could somehow do something with him. This is the only help I can offer, compared to what his family gives us.
When I finally came out, it was only then that I felt nervous. I leaned my body against the wall, catching my breath.
"Did I really do that?"
Even I couldn't believe the ability shown. I never thought I could unbound a strong blast.
He didn't answer. Just quietly standing in front of me. Holding the sling of the bag strapped to one arm. While the other hand is inside the pocket.
"Let's go eat something," I looked away.
We still haven't discussed the
happened in the past. It's only now that they're reunited because I'm strictly avoiding it. But I don't know what went through my mind. Because instead of leaving it with those idiots, I pulled it all the way.
I will be the only reason for us to talk again and be together in the same place.
I first walked to the right. Hans, on his motorcycle, was suddenly spotted. He was driving in our direction. But before I could smile, I was distracted by Zion's quick drag in the other direction.
"Here we are," he insisted.
"Wait Hans-"
"Hans who? I see no one ..."
"Gee!"
Speaking of, it was able to catch up with us.
"Hans, hi!" I waved hello, but couldn't stop walking because Zi was pulling me firmly.
"Zion!" another voice calls behind us. Moments later, it gasped as it stepped aside from Zi. The hand quickly found his arm.
He stopped walking with me. None of my own let go of my wrist and faced Martha.
"Why did you run?" he asked worriedly.
"Where are you?"
This time, they just seemed to be the people in the world. I could clearly see how Zion would support his friend who was gasping for breath, afraid that he might even be attacked in the run.
"We'll eat nearby."
"I'm fine," Martha looked at me, "Is it okay?"
Do I have a choice? Even if I refuse, he will still force me to come.
"Of course," I faked a smile, "Come with me Hans too."
Zion, on the other hand, quickly turned to me. His brows slightly furrowed, as if a bit unpleased at my decision.
Things I just ignored. It's better like this, if I look like a third wheel.
"Despite delicious."
"The foods I know to eat are healthy."
"I would go for great taste."
"I want to vote for healthy foods. Since health is wealth ..."
This time, I no longer knew who to listen to. Is it Hans who likes good food, or is it Zi who likes healthy votes. Their types are already in conflict, as is the direction they are pointing.
It seemed to me that Martha was just looking around at the two. Even it is confusing who will follow.
Why do they have to argue about the restaurant we're going to eat, if only they could come to an agreement? I will even go hungry for what they do.
"Let's make her choose."
The two turned to me at the same time.
"Why?" I wonder they stare back.
"You choose, delicious or healthy?" si Zi. Its face was very serious. The eyebrow was still raised, which only added to the stubborn aura.
I think differently of his question. If in the scenario playing in my brain, I will choose the delicious. But if anything else, that's where I'll side with the healthy.
"Why do you only choose me? Martha is here?" I was pushing another companion who was definitely supposed to be free to ask.
This is kinda hard for me, thinking that I love both kind of taste. I am so into delicious and healthy foods, since I, having a weak immune system needed it more ... Just like any others out there.
"I am out," Martha put her hands up.
"Time is running ..."
"What's that, why are you bothering us on the trip of those two?" I stared at them intently, "We all choose where to go. Just raise your hand in favor of the restaurant I will say ..." I took a deep breath.
I better mention, none of their recommended choice. Maybe no one will have lunch, because it will take the afternoon to pull and each of the two to the desired dining destination.
"Raise the hand of those who want to bulaloan."
None of us raised a hand.
Guess we had much bulalo for this week.
"In which Narda's cafeteria."
All of them looked away. No intention. You don't seem to want to talk to me anymore.
It's delicious there. The workers are still cheap and kind.
The choosy so much of it ...
I rolled my eyes. What other well-known eateries were mentioned, as well as the food cart of the street foods vendor friends did not pass. But none of them chose none.
I gasped violently. Few will think of eating alone in Narda's cafeteria.
"What are you guys? Shall we eat or spend the night choosing here?"
"There are only two choices Gee, exclude the others," Hans playfully tapped my head.
"Yeah ... Oh yeah," this conversation wouldn't end if I continued to divert to others the two things they want to follow, "Raise the hand of those who like delicious," I asked frowning.
Upon hearing this, Martha immediately raised her hand. Still smiling.
She got a very smart decision in there. I want to be healthy, so the result will be we part ways. Hans and Martha, in delicious. Zi and I are healthy.
That's just the secret of joy in my system. Alright, problem solve, sealed!
"Does that mean you'd go to the other choice?" Zi crossed his arms over his chest.
"I'll go to your taste," I subconsciously answered.
There was a sudden silence between us all.
If it weren"t for the honking of cars that suddenly became preoccupied with unexpected traffic, and the noise of a few people passing around, I would think time was stopping. Everyone stopped moving, except for the four of us.
That's the exact scenario I had in my right now. Something that was also cut off immediately after Zi spoke.
"You need healthy foods Martha, come with us."
I swallowed hard, hiding a pain.
I don"t want to feel like this. From the very beginning, he must have known who he was always thinking. But I was just amazed at the idea that he might really only be friends with Martha. One day with me he will last run ... That one day I am gonna be the end game, when in fact it was already a game over for us since the very beginning.
I am getting dramatic again.
Shit!
"I'm only going with Hans," I recalled what I had said earlier. He immediately took Hans' hand, pulling it to the other side of the road.
"You alright?" he suddenly asked in the middle of silence.
We were only halfway to the mini restaurant he was bidding on.
"Of course," I faked a smile.
"You like him," that more of a confirmation.
I just let him think about what he wanted to believe. I don't want to pull an argument about it, nor defend myself. Even though maybe Zion has noticed something in my actions. With stealthy looks and overt jealousy when I see them both with Martha.
"Do you want to talk about it after lunch?" he craned his neck, just so he could see my reaction.
"We'll talk about the hearing," the same intensity of stare I threw back at it.
"Hurry up and walk. We might run out of food there," a voice whispered loudly that I didn't want to hear again today.
It deliberately hit Hans, then passed us with Martha who still has her arms wrapped around him. The living definition of leech, tsk!
Why did they even follow?
"Of course, I heard the taste of the food there, lunch is just over ..." I clasped Hans and I's hands, with it I accelerated our walk until we passed the two of us, "We have to hurry , "I simply turned to Zi, then raised an eyebrow.
I hate the sight of them staying that close to each other. It would have been better if we had been the first, so that I could somehow avoid sinning because of imaginary curses.
"This isn't a race, just to remind you," Hans suddenly whispered on my ear.
"Are you just going to keep up?"
We were the first to arrive at the entrance of the restaurant, followed by Zi and his woman who both reluctantly looked at the whole place.
Very few people are still eating. Because there is still an hour before lunch. Case because I didn't get a good breakfast, it was only eleven o'clock and I was hungry.
"What do you want?" Zi asked as he presented the menu to Martha.
Coincidentally the table was vacant for four people. Here we go straight, not to my liking. Hans just insisted because we really came here together, he said it should be the same at the table.
I am the one who avoids the scene, he is the one who is naughty and still unites with destiny.
To be continued...
