Chapter 17.

Natigilan naman si Niraiah sa sinabi ni Reious saka tumingin sa kaniya. Reious was smiling at her beautifully, seeing him smile like that, Niraiah couldn't help but to smile back.

She could feel her heart trembling while looking at Reious's handsome face smiling softly and tenderly towards her.

'Oh my gosh, I didn't know I had a thing to handsome guys. Now I know.'

"Actually, I've never been in a relationship before." Pag-imporma niya rito.

"Really?" Gulat na tanong ni Reious.

"Yes, never even once." Niraiah said in assurance while smiling, napatulala naman si Reious.

"Reallllyy?" Hindi parin naniniwalang tanong ni Reious, nawala naman ang ngiti ni Niraiah.

"Bakit? Lahat ba ng babae sa edad kong ito dapat nagkaroon na ng boyfriend o experience before?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong ni Niraiah.

"Well, hindi naman." Iwas tingin na sagot ni Reious, "It's just that, it's weird to know that someone had never been in a relationship before. And you also didn't look religious enough to believe in abstinence and such."

Napamaang naman si Niraiah saka malakas na hinampas si Reious sa braso niya.

"That's rude! Hindi ako naniniwala sa abstinence, pero hindi ko rin naman gusto na makuha lang ng kung sinong Poncio Pilato ang pagkabirhen ka."

"Wait, that's not what I mean! I think that women who could wait until their marriage to do 'that' is amazing, but I also think women who wanted to live their lives to fullest are awesome! I hold no prejudice to neither of them!"

"Then what?!" Inis na tanong ni Niraiah.

"Ahem!"

Natigil naman silang dalawa sa pagbabangayan nang makarinig sila ng malakas na singhal, napalingon sila sa likod nila saka nakita ang isang matandang babae na mataray ang tingin sa kanilang dalawa habang may bitbit na tray.

"Wag kayo mag-away sa daan, neneng at totoy, hindi ito bangketa o kalsada. Grocery store ito, kaya magsitabi kayo." Sabi niya, mabilis namang gumilid sina Reious at Niraiah. Masama silang tinitigan ng babae isa-isa bago dumaan sa gitna nila habang masama parin ang tingin, "Grabe, kung hindi niyo kasi kayang magsama, edi huwag ipilit. Init lang naman ng katawan ang habol niyo sa pakikipagrelasyon, ayaw na lang magsarili nang wala kayong maperwisyong iba. Tsk, how come cheap people could enter this place? What a shame."

Parinig sa kanila ng matanda habang naglalakad ito palayo sa kanila, hindi naman umimik sina Reious at Niraiah hanggang sa makalayo na ang matanda.

"Let's go talk in my car." Sabi ni Reious pagkalayo ng matanda. He grabbed Niraiah's hand and intertwined it with his and quickly walked to the counter.

"May pupuntahan ka pa bang iba? I'll drive you home."

Hindi naman umimik si Niraiah at tinango-tango lang ang ulo. Reious stared at her as she put on the seatbelt of her seat.

"Are you okay?" Reious ask as he notice Niraiah turning pale, Niraiah nodded her head again.

"Hindi, ahm, ano, nilamig lang ako bigla." Mahinang sabi niya sabay yakap sa braso. Niraiah was wearing a long sleeve brown top and black pants, although her clothes was a bit tight, she should not feel cold that much.
