Interdicted Passion: The Nerd's Prodigy (AGS #1)

KABANATA 39:

Accident Operation Identity

Darkness. I fell into darkness. I felt like being choked. I can't breath with what I'm seeing. Ang sakit nila sa mata.

"I didn't know that he likes bitches now? Don't worry mas pretty ka kaya!" Rei rolled her eyes and cupped my face to lock our eyes.

"Uwi na tayo p-please?" I choked with my own words. She looked into my eyes intently.

She was weighing my emotions before nodding. Inakay niya ako dahil ramdam ko ang panlalambot ng mga tuhod ko.

Malapit na kami sa pinto nang bigla may bumangga sa amin. The impact made us fall unto the tiled floor and made countless of people gasp.

"What the hell?!" Galit na tumayo si Rei at marahas na hinarap ang dahilan ng aming pagkabuwal.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Maarteng paumanhin ng babaeng dahilan ng pagbagsak ko at ng puso ko.

"Oh shut up, bitch! If you think that your australian accent would make you look sosyal then think again 'cuz you're so cheap!" Walang pakundangang ani Rei.

Mukhang natigilan naman ito at nagangat ng kilay. Nang dumating ang lalaking minsan nang naging akin ay lumambot ang ekspresyon ni Blaire.

She looked like she was defeated.

"Well, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do t-that. You don't have to call me n-names." Parang iiyak pa ito. Oh geez! Here comes the 'I'm the victim' face.

"Hey." He held Blaire's arms and made her face him. He was studying every detail of her body. Mukhang nagpapanik pa ito na baka nasugatan ang girlfriend niya.

"Oh come on Lincoln. Don't tell me you really believe this con-artist's drama?" Nasapo ni Rei ang noo niya.

"Rei, you don't have to shout at her." He eyed Rei darkly. Nahagit ko pa ang aking hininga nang dumako sa akin ang kaniyang tingin. "And don't call her that." Mariin niyang ani.

Parang pinatay ulit ako nang masuyo niyang inalalayan ang babaeng dating tumapak sa pagkatao niya at iniwan akong nakasalampak sa malamig na sahig.

"Oh he's utterly ridiculous I tell you, ridiculous!" Naiinis na pinagpag ni Rei ang suot niyang puting pantalon at binalingan ako.

Siguradong mukha talaga akong talunan ngayon. Ni hindi makatayo dahil nanghihina ang mga tuhod ko.

Rei helped me stand up habang ako ay pilit inaabot ng tingin ang lalaking noon ay akin.

"Hayy! Hindi ko talaga knows kung ano ang pumasok sa head ng lalaking 'yon at kinampihan ang brat na 'yon." Rei handed me a glass of water. Dinala niya muna ako sa condo niya dahil ayoko pang umuwi sa mansyon.

"I-I thought he was engaged with Nathalia? Aren't they m-married?" Hirap na hirap akong sabihin ang simpleng salitang iyon.

"Married? He was never married and I never heard that he was engaged. Where did you make sagap that?"

"From his mother. I mean his foster mother."

"Oh, the con-artist? Well, fake siya e so expect that want she said was fake news. Isa pa from the gossips I heard mukhang walang plan si Lincoln mag settle down." She looked at me. Iniwas ko naman ang aking tingin.

So, he never married his best friend?

"How can you say?"

"Well, he's been linked to alot of women. Parang every week iba. But he was never like that to me when we see each other sa mga social parties kaya I am so confused now na s-in-ave niya 'yong brat na 'yon. And I can't and will not believe that he'll make patol to that woman." She rolled her eyes while brushing her hair with her fingers.
