Fix Marriage With My Enemy (Love Academy Series #2)

CHAPTER 24

CHAPTER 24 | Explain |

Napapikit na lang ako nang mariin nang marinig ang boses ng kaibigan. My knees trembled, lalo na nang marinig ko ang hakbang nila palapit sa 'kin. I breathed heavily, not ready on what's going to happen.

I'm not ready to tell them about my situation. . .  that I already met my finacé. At mas lalong hindi ako handa na sabihing si Prine iyon!

I can now imagine the horror on their faces, they will surely have the shock and jaw dropping expressions kapag nalaman nilang si Prine ang taong 'yon.

"What's wrong?" Prine asked, he obviously don't know what's happening. I opened my eyes and glared at him, sa kanya ko nabuntong ang frustration ko.

"Rose?" Seryuso na agad ang boses ni Mae nang lumapit sa 'min. Scared of what she's going to say, nanatili akong tahimik. Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin niya sa 'ming dalawa ni Prine. Ganoon din si Lian na nakaawang na ang labi, nanlalaki pa ang mga mata. Gulat na gulat na makitang magkasama kaming dalawa.

I sighed, Lian knows I'm keeping a secret to them. Hindi siya nagpumilit na sabihin ko sa kanya iyon, instead she understands me and waited for me to tell her the truth when I'm ready. Si Mae naman walang kaalam-alam. Mae has trust issues, she hates betrayal, lies, dishonesty, and secrets. Sa 'ming tatlo siya ang pinakanasasaktan kapag may naglihim sa 'min. Iyon nga rin ang reason bakit kami nagkaroon ng tampuhan this month lang. Noong nalaman namin na ang ex pala ni Lian ay ang kaklase naming transfery na si Shun Clark Tuazon.

"Mae," I bit my lower lip. Bumaling ako kay Prine at nakita ang seryuso niyang titig. I guess alam na niya kung ano ang nangyayari.

"Prine, we need to talk. Excuse as please?" Dahan-dahan naman siyang tumango, naiintindihan ang gusto kong mangyari.

"J-just text me if you're done." tumango na lang ako sa kanya.

Ilang beses ko nang napisil ang mga daliri ko, I'm bitting my lower lip and bowing my head because I'm afraid to say anything. We went to Tòffino para makapag-usap nang maayos. Sa harap ko ay ang dalawang kaibigan na nanatiling tahimik, pakiramdam ko ay nasa husgado kami at lilitisin na ako ng dalawa ngayon.

"I-I can't understand what's happening," Mae broke the silence. Kaninang tahimik ay kinakabahan ako, ngayon namang nagsalita na siya ay domuble na ang kaba ko.

I guess this is the right time to tell them the truth. Walang mangyayari kung hindi ako magsasalita, I guess it's better this way.

"What's with you and Prine?" Lian asked. Halata ang pagkalito sa kanilang dalawa. Bumuntonghininga muna ako bago nagsalita.

"I'll explain in full details, pwedeng makinig muna kayo? Natatakot kasi ako, eh." Uminit ang sulok ng mga mata ko, ayokong mag-away ulit kami. I know kasalanan ko kasi naglihim ako pero ayokong mag-away kami.

Lian held my hand, she smiled at me genuinely, "We'll listen." Tumango naman si Mae.

Pareho ko silang tiningnan at malalim na bumuntonghininga bago nagsalita.

"First I want to say sorry, I didn't learn from our last fight. Mae said she hates secret but I still kept a secret to the both of you."

"It's okay, I understand that not all things ay kailangan sabihin. We all have this thing called privacy," Mae said bitterly, I felt like I was stabbed in the chest of what she said. "Don't get me wrong Lian and Rose, I learned okay?" she said assuring us. She went silent kaya nagpatuloy ako.

"Still I'm sorry. I still can't process what's happening in my life that's why I can't tell you. You know? I've been expecting this since I was young, that I was bound to marry someone whom I don't know and don't love. But still, nakakagulat at masyado pa ring mabilis ang lahat para sa 'kin. Given to what happened from the past months incident, parang impossible ang lahat." Mae and Lian's eyes widened, mukhang nakuha na nila ang sagot sa what's with me and Prine.
