Chapter 44

The next day feels the same, it's fun because there's still nothing wrong with texting and calling me, since we've been in his apartment.
"It's not short! The length of time my uniform has been like this you just noticed!" I said angrily. We had face time this morning before we go to school. Gosh!
He's now wearing his slacks but still shirtless, his hair's wet. And I can see on the screen of my phone the frowning of its foreheads. My phone is leaning on the bedside table, but don't get me wrong! I dressed in my closet not in his front! I just came back when it was over there he is! Arguing with my damn uniform!
"Still! You should buy a new uniform that below your knee! Goodness Ysla, that's too close to your ---- fuck!" He found it difficult to wash his hand over his face.
"Get dressed!" I just said tapo sit on the end of my bed to put on my shoes.
While I was wearing I looked at him, he was still not moving and just watching me. Even when he's on the screen, I can see how dark he looks at my legs. I took a deep breath when I was done and stood up.
I picked up the phone and just put it on my face.
"Move on, Sir Walterson."
"Tsk! Let's not go in!" My eyes widen. Seriously? He has been absent for a few days!
"Stop it Zarius! Wear your uniform now!" I widened my eyes at him, he stared for a while and it was good that he followed what I said. He put his phone on the bed first so I could see his white ceiling.
It's just funny because we're neighbors. And it's also surprising that I don't see his family, apart from the fact that he said his parents are often out of town. If Nahla really lives with them, why can't I see her? Or am I just not really an outsider like that?
Their butler is the only one I see, Nana Celia. Wait! Yes, that's right! Nana Celia knows and she knows Nahla, maybe I should ask Manang about Nahla, maybe she knows too.
"What are you smirking for?" Zarius asked coldly when he picked up the phone, he's now wearing his uniform. The two buttons at the top are open. And God his messy hair!
"W-nothing ..." I just said and averted my eyes.
"Tsk." He replied.
Later, we thought that we would end face time, he would pass me here at home so that we could enter together. And they don't have mommy anymore.
I took my bag and quickly went down to look for Manang.
When I got down, I saw older brother Maru in the living room drinking coffee. He lowered his cup when he saw me.
"Mom!" Then he stood up.
"Where is manang?"
"Mom is in the kitchen, can I take you?" He asked.
"Ah not anymore brother ..."
"But Daddy told you that if I don't take you, I'll just follow your car." I fell silent, doing nothing but nod.
I went to the kitchen, I saw manang washing the dishes.
"Manang!" I shouted from the kitchen door.
"Jusmiyo ka Ysla!" I saw her jumped in shock and turned to me. He first washed his hands on his apron.
He is now holding her chest.
"I'm sorry manang." Then I giggled.
"What's that, hija? They've left Andrea."
"Not that, man." Manang waited for me to say something.
"M-does Mr. Walterson have a child outside? I mean Janmyr Walterson?" Her eyes widen when I ask that question.
"Is there?" He wondered, manang didn't know?
"N-Nahla ..." He nodded as if he knew and then laughed.
"Oh yes that boy!" I just listened to him.
"Satin satin lang hija ah?" I nodded.
"As a result of Janmyr's sin against Nahla from an unknown woman then, I heard from Celia that Zarius was just a baby when the mother took the child Nahla to them." What? So true? I'm not sure who Nash and Zarius are.
"Nahla is kind, son. And even though the child is not Miss Alejandra's real child she treated it like a real child, I just don't know the story of how she received it and how Janmyr betrayed, despite the intensity of Alejandra and I used to love each other. "
I can't keep quiet, I don't know what to say, I don't have the story of Zar's parents, I only have who is Nahla referring to? If they are really siblings to dad and both grew up in the same house. How did they fall for each other? I just think it's as if my stomach is turning upside down. I wouldn"t be sad if that was an example of me and Ivan.
Fuck! We're related in bloods! I wasn't disgusted about that but damn! I cant imagine! They grew up together at home since childhood, and how can love involve between them?
"Is that so? Thank you."
"Nothing, son. Have you met Nahla yet?" I shook my head. Even the truth is that I really met him.
"At least that boy didn't come out either."
"Edi does it mean, they're hiding Nahla as their daughter? Because she's a fruit of sin?"
"It's not like that son! They never hid or kept Nahla a secret, the young Nahla just didn't really come out." I nodded,
"Ah ma'am I'm here sir." Suddenly, older brother Maru entered the kitchen.
"All right, thank you!"
"Oh he's fine! Be careful son." I just nodded and left. Zarius was not in the living room so I went straight out. I saw him leaning on his car coolly, I missed his aura like that wearing his school uniform.
His head lifted up when he caught me.
I smiled. The foreheads were still furrowed, the more I looked at the uniform I was wearing.
"I am wearing a stockings!" I said immediately.
"Tsk." He just tsk. I pouted and came even closer to him, I was about to kiss him when our gate opened and brother Maru's car came out.
"Kuya Maru will drive you?" Zar asked immediately.
"No, we'll just follow you to school. You know, dad's a lawyer so I still need a bodyguard."
"I can protect you without anyone."
"I know ..." Then I held his hand. He made me get into his car. He turned around to make a fuss then started the engine.
Our flight was quiet, his stereo was also on so somehow the flight was not too quiet.
Until we got to the school parking lot. When he turned off the machine, I immediately pulled him to kiss him. He aggressively responds. Then put both of his hand on my hips and pulled me closer.
I placed my hands around his nape, I pressed my lips even harder with him to kiss him fully. I'm sitting but I can still feel my knees trembled. He was biting and suckling my lower lip, and I did the same.
Til I felt his tongue seeking for my entrance. I obliged open and welcome it. His other hand now is caressing my back, til it reach my boob. I cant help to moan inside his mouth!
"Ahhh ..." I pull my lips just to moan, his kiss went down to my neck and that's where I stumbled. He's massaging and molding my right breast thought I am still wearing my uniform. But I could still feel the warmth brought by his hand.
Goodness! I was panting already, when his kisses back to my lips.
"I love you, Ysla."
We had make out again inside his montero, God! How many times have we done that thing in his car ?! Fortunately, he didn't think of undressing me! It's a bit messy that we both have the same uniform but he's worse! How many times have I pulled it!
He took me to the room, then he went straight to his class. I was even nervous because my classmates' eyes were too judgmental. I just ignored them and sat down at the end.
I also hear a lot but I just ignore it, I won't get anything if I listen and answer them. They have nothing to contribute to my life.
The whole class somehow focused my attention, I was able to answer the recitation and focus.
After my class, I texted Zarius though I receive a message from him.
Me:
Yes, otw on my second class.
Then I send it. They have major class now so it's a long time and I can't be delivered. But can he text?
Zarius:
Tsk, you'll see that dumbass.
I was stunned, he was referring to Eian. Probably! I dont have choice!
Me:
Of course, stop texting me! You're still in class.
But I received something from him again.
Zarius:
Why the hell I'll stop texting on you ?!
I laughed.
Me:
Focus kasi! Later the prof will catch you texting!
Zarius:
As if he caught me, I am staring at the beautiful lady right now.
My eyes widen, my heart hurt. What?
Who is he referring to? He is not in front of me, I try to find him but nothing is impossible for me!
Me:
Who is the beautiful lady ?!
Zarius:
Turn around, love.
Without thinking I turned around, then I saw him stare at me but after a while there was another tinype on the phone.
Zarius:
There, a beautiful lady I owned.
My chest throbbed again, my knees are ready to wobbled. I frowned when he walked in front of me.
"Hi ..." Ani said.
"Don't you have a class yet?" I ask.
"Early dismissal, meeting daw." That's why he's been texting for a while.
"You hungry?" Then he took my bag.
"Not yet, I still have class after this I have 2 hours vacant. You?"
"That's bad, I have 2 hours class on your vacant." I was sad. He just took me to my next class, he would go to Moon Ground first because his friends were there and the class was in the afternoon.
When I entered the class, I immediately saw Eian. Eian was silent while Kio and I talked.
When I entered, Eian saw me, I smiled at him but he averted his eyes. What's her problem?
I kept going in until I could sit at the end.
"Hey Laraya! Long time no see!" I heard Kio.
"Pre kakakia nyo lang nung isang araw." Klane laughed.
"Hi!" I waved back. Eian still doesn't look at me. Until the arrival of prof.
The cycle of my next class was the same.
"Are you with us, Laraya?" Jiro came next to me as I was getting ready.
"Yeah, tara Laraya!" Kio is next.
"Not anymore ..." Then I looked at Eian who was just quietly watching their side.
"Osige we're first ah!" I smiled at them and walked out. Later, I also came out. I only eat outside of school.
Many students are also vacant today. I smiled when I came out. It was only a few walks before I reached a restaurant. I seem to like Italian food.
I walk as if I see someone familiar who also sells on the side of the classroom. Now I just noticed the vendors here. I dont know if its safe to eat? Because it's not on the side of the road?
I noticed her stall that also had a lot of buyers. He is with a child who I think is aged 10 or 12. He's wearing a school uniform, Sandra looks haggard but even from a distance I can still see how beautiful she is.
He looked at a customer and later hit me. Her eyes widen.
"Ysla ..." I smiled, he said something to the boy before I went.
He put some distance between us when he was in front of me.
"A-ahm good day, I'm sorry I'm a little sweaty eh ..." He was embarrassed before wiping the sweat on his forehead. She doesn't even smell bad.
"How are you? You look okay now ..." I looked at her shop at the same time. The child looks at me from time to time.
"A-ah yes ... Because your daddy is with you." My forehead wrinkled.
"H-don't you know? N-it's a coincidence that your Daddy saw us when Steven died on the road. And he was the one who paid the bills to my brother." He looked at the boy in their stall. The child looks at it from time to time.
What? Dad helped her? Why don't I know? Maybe I should ask him later when I get home.
"P-I'm sorry ..."
"What are you! Stop saying sorry! In fact I am grateful that he helped you!"
He smiled at what I said. "M-thank you very much, Ysla. You fell from the sky on us."
"Btw, what kind of place is this? What are the sales?" Then I looked around.
"Street foods are the ones here, it's a good thing the university allowed us vendors to sell."
"What's street foods?" I asked her curiously.
"Come on! I'll show you what we sell, I'm sure you'll like it!" I kept pulling him. It is true that there is no buyer.
"Ah Ysla, here's my brother Steven. Steven is Ysla's sister."
"Hi Steven!" The child blushed.
"H-hello sister ... Your eyes are beautiful ..."
"Thank you ..." Then I smiled. I looked at their wares but I wasn"t really familiar with these foods.
"This Ysla you try!" At the same time Sandra pointed to a large orange. I saw how genuine her smile is, there seems to be no real problem. Steven has the same smile as her so I nodded.
"I'll heat it first to make it even tastier." He took the orange and put it in the pan.
"What's that ba?"
"Call there tokneneng." He spoke too fast so I didn't understand.
"What? Nowkneneng?" Their eyes widened together and suppressed a laugh.
"Ano ka ate ngongo?" Steven laughed.
"Steven ..." Sandra disobeyed, I just sniffed and watched Sandra do what she was doing. After that he put Nowkneneng in a green bowl with plastic, he even washed my spoon. Then he put something green there.
"That's cucumber for more flavor." I nodded, Sandra approached the graphs lined up with only water, when she opened the lid I found out it was vinegar! The acid!
"Here." At the same time he reached for me, I would have taken it when he took it again.
"Wait a minute, Steven, take out the table and chairs!"
"Yes sister." After that they sat me down, and placed the bowl in front of me. They are both waiting for my reaction now. I stared for a few more minutes before slowly swallowing.
"M-delicious?" Sandra asked incredulously.
"Yes! Its delicious!" They were happy with my reaction and even more apir.
"Tell you what!" I nodded to Sandra and ate some more. Grabe! Delicious! Next time I will request it to Manang. They tasted a lot for me like fishball, Kiyam, squidball and the little nowkneneng twek twek.
"Go Bench!" Steven suddenly stood up and was greeted by someone. I ignored because I was busy eating.
"Kuya!" I heard Sandra too.
"Oyyy here I am! I've sold quite a bit on the road, here's what you add to the savings." Promise the man.
"W-don't brother! Just give that to Tyang." Even Sandra. When I heard Tyang I immediately looked up, I saw a man tall and turned wearing ripped jeans and a shirt. The hole is as big as the armpit part. He's wearing a cap too but the other way around. But even in side view, I can see the tip of his nose.
"It's okay! Mama's just shashabu." Then he laughed. When he laughed, he turned to me and suddenly his eyes widened.
"Wow we have a good customer today! Vip at the table!" He said in amazement and went in front of me. I scolded him, I had another nasmell with him. Full of wind with pride.
Zarius is taller than him! Pandak!
"Ah brother Bench, Ysla is Sir Villareal's son." Even Sandra.
"Wow! Hi Ysla ..." She winked. Okay he has itchura but Zar is more handsome! This looks like a gangster!
But I just stared at him and continued to eat.
"It's ugly, Ser Villareal is kind, why is the child?" He struggled against her.
"Ah Y-Ysla, older brother Bench is Tyang's son ---" I stood up suddenly and pointed the fork I was holding at him.
"You! You're the one with your mom who is harassing Sandra! How could you do this ---" Sandra approached me.
"Oh oh you're easy, I'm not as bad as my brothers and my mother." He still has both hands raised. But he's laughing!
"Y-ysla ... M-brother Bench is kind." Even Sandra.
"He doesn't look like one." My answer is helpful.
"Hey gravity! Even in English I understand that!" I turned around and just sat down.
"Is it really like that when you're rich? Judger." He said loudly as he rested his elbow on their stall.
"Is it really that hard when it's hard? It looks like a gangster." She covered her mouth. "And its judgmental not judger."
One of his hands was still covering his mouth while the other was pointing at me and Sandra. Sandra laughed as well as Steven.
"Gravity! A-I'm a gangster ?!" He couldn't believe the question as his finger focused on his face.
"Yes, you look like a thief too."
"Hey you really are gravity! I'm not a tip! Do I look like money in your eyes?" Can't believe I looked at him.
What the fuck?
"What's tip? I said thief you idiot!"
She whispered to Sandra as if asking what I said.
"Tip you liked my sale so you'll give too much!" He shouted,
"The thief's brother, he's a thief." His eyes widened again and he pointed at me again like a child.
"Sandra Gravity!" Sumbong nya.
What is his gravity ?!
"It's as much art as English is still art. You look like a thef." He mocked me then scolded me.
The hell?
I was about to scold him when my phone rang.
It was Zarius.
"The ugly habit, dra." I heard him whispered to Sandra. I stared at him before answering Zarius' call.
Gosh! I forgot to call and text him!
