The Broken Heart (Business Series 1)✔️

Chapter 5

Rumor

Hindi ko na maalala kung kailan ko huli itong naramdaman. So this is they called the word happiness? Ganito pa lang ang pakiramdam? Sobrang gaan ng dibdib ko na tila wala kang mabigat na problema na dinadala. And I couldn't even describe it in words. Ang alam ko lang I am so happy that may stomach burst will out. But how long this feeling last?

Gabi na nang makauwi ako sa bahay gaya ng dati ay wala na naman sila pagdating ko. I hate to admit it but I enjoy the trip going to Ruins of Alcatraz. Silas is not that bad at all. Maybe I'm just a judgemental.

I glanced at the black jacket under the table. He lent it to me because I was cold on the way home. What a gentleman. I can't believe he has that side, huh? My lips moved, and then a small smile appeared on my lips. I shrugged off. Kinukuha n'ya lang ang loob ko.

I looked myself in the reflection of the mirror. I gently caress my hair while combing it. My father said that I look like my mother. I'm just a young version of her. Napansin ko rin iyon na hindi nga kami magkamukha kaya siguro magkamukha talaga kami ng mama ko. I took a deep breath and put the comb inside the cabinet.

My eyes shifted to the clock because I heard it clocking. Hindi naman iyon ganoon kalakas pero sapat na para marinig ko at makuha ang atensiyon. I should sleep it's already 12:00 o'clock.

I am busy writing in my notebook when I felt someone sit beside me. I am doing my assignment in Understanding the Self. I decided to stop and shifted my eyes beside me to know whoever it is. I catch Silas staring at me intently. Napangisi lang ito sa'kin nang makita ako na nakatingin sa kan'ya.

"Did I bother you? Sorry I just can't help it. You're so gorgeous that I can't stop myself staring at you."

"Yeah."

Sinuri ko ang buong mukha n'ya. He still has bruises but they are not as bad before. Medyo okay na ngayon. He didn't have anything with him even a pen so I doubt he's here to study. Kaya bakit siya narito? Kung hindi naman siya mag-aaral? Kung magbabasa man siya ng mga libro eh hindi rin naman siya kumuha sa bookshelf.

"What are you doing here anyway?"

I saw how he pursed his lips before answering me.

"Just hanging out. Why? It is forbidden to hang out here in library? Para'ng wala namang nakalagay ah."

I tilted my head and go back to what I am doing.

"Wow, nice penmanship huh," he uttered. 

"Keep quiet." The lady in the mid 30s said. Based on her looks might she be the librarian of the library. Medyo napalakas kasi ang pagkasabi ni Silas no'n kaya pinagsabihan siya nito.

"Not really. Don't you have a class?" I ask curiously.

"Meron pero ang boring ng prof namin magturo. So, I go out." He smiled as if he was proud of what he did.

My eyes widened. I couldn't imagine myself doing that. Lalo na't may pinapangalagaan ako na grado. It is rude to do that to your teacher.

"And the teacher allow you?" My eyebrows rised up.

"Yes of course. He would rather allow me or else I will just sleep in his whole class."

Kumunot ang noo ko. Napatigil ako sa pagsulat at napalingon sa kan'ya.

"But you shouldn't do that Silas. You should listen to your teacher when they are discussing the lesson. You're so rude for treating that to your professors. I feel bad for your teachers." I said sadly.

I don't why but I am very disappointed with his actions. But I shouldn't be right? When in the first place Allen inform me already about him. About how he sucks in studying.
