The Binary of Love (On-going)

Chapter 05

Zehra's POV

"Hey may malapit na bar dito sabi ni Krista. Punta tayo later!" Alice said exuberantly as she sat beside me on the seashore.

"Sure! Gusto ko yan." I answered, smiling at her.

We're now in Kaliya Island, bigla kase silang nag-aya ng short trip kase weekends naman so we're here. Sinusulit ang dal'wang araw na walang klase. Actually meron kaming two classes every Sat. pero yong isang prof. wala kaya sinacrifice na namin yong isang subject.

"Zehra kanina pa tingin ng tingin sa 'yo yong pogi don sa katabi nating cottage. Patulan mo na para matigil na yang kahibangan mo kay Silvestre." Napangiwi ako sa sinabi niya.

Halos isang linggo ko na ring hindi siya nakikita. Hindi na kase ako pumupunta don sa restau na pinagttrabahuhan niya. Pero walang palya ko siyang nilulutuan ng ulam na walang palya din niyang tinatanggihan kaya ang swerte ni manong guard dahil siya palagi ang nakakakain ng luto ko.

Sa school naman, hindi ako masiyadong lumalabas sa building namin, hindi rin ako sumasama kapag pupunta sina Alice sa canteen or kung aalis sila papunta malapit sa building nina Raze.

As much as possible ayoko muna siyang makita kahit gustong-gusto ko. I miss him so bad but I'm reminding myself that if he wanted to talk to me or even see me, he would. But why would he do that anyway? I am a nobody to him.

"It's just Raze, Alice. You know that." I answered to her.

She sighed. "Yeah right. Alam kong one day mauuntog ka din. C'mon, let's swim!" She said as she stood up. Tumayo na din ako, joining her on the water. I gotta go enjoy our short stay here.

"SO GOOD! I FUCKING MISS THIS!" Sigaw sa 'min ni Krista habang sumasayaw na parang tanga. Napangiti ako sa kanya.

Nandito kami ngayon sa bar na tinutukoy nila and here we are dancing like crazy. We're over an hour here already at mejo tinatamaan na kami ng beer na ininom namin.

"SO FUN!" Sigaw ko pa habang lumulukso-lukso. Si Alice naman gumigiling na kay Krista while Ida was already dancing with someone we don't know. Tawa lang kami ng tawa sa isa't-isa and sometimes shouting kapag gumaganda ang beat ng song.

"ZEHRA MAY MGA GWAPO DON SA KABILA, TARA!" Sigaw ni Krista sa 'kin na ngiting-ngiti pero umiling ako. "GO! UPO LANG AKO SA TABLE NATIN!" I shouted back.

I walked towards our table and sat there. Mejo nahihilo na 'ko so I drank a glass of water as if it would somehow clean my system. But minutes passed naihi naman ako so I looked for the rest room. Mejo nagtagal pa 'ko don dahil ramdam ko ang pagkahilo ko. Shit! Napadami ang inom ko.

Pagkalabas ko, I was surprised when somebody grabbed my arm. I automatically pulled it from him but he's so strong. Fuck! What's with this man?

"Let me go, fucker!" I shouted.

And the next thing I knew nakabulagta na siya sa lupa. Serves you right, asshole!

"C'mon, Zehra." It was Zeo, my personal bodyguard. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the bar. I'd just text Alice later.

Dad get him to keep an eye on me usually everytime I'd go out of town na hindi sila kasama.

Pagkalabas namin, I immediately pulled my arm from him. "I'm good now. You can go. Didiretso na 'ko sa resort." I said, dismissing him.

"You're drunk. Ihahatid kita." He answered frigidly. He somewhat reminds me of Raze. They're both cold and dark.

"No, kaya ko." I simply answered.

He just nodded and walked away. Idk kung san siya pupunta but I must say he's good at hiding himself. Hindi ko siya nahahalata na nakasunod o nakamasid sa 'kin. But everytime mapapahamak ako, nanjan na siya bigla. Dad mentioned he's the best in their agency so no wonder.
