He's Mad

14: Confrontation

Chiyo : Tama na!

💟💟💟

Third Persons POV

The whole ride home from the airport was so-totally-incredibly awkward for Chiyo that she stared at her sweating hands the whole time.

Hindi niya alam ang sasabihin sa sitwasyon na iyon. She thought of some possible topics to talk about, pero kilala niya si Jhiro he wouldn't answer and if Jhiyo answer her instead it'll be a one way conversation between the two of them, and for some reason she didn't want that.

What if magalit si Jhiro?

Is he Mad at me?

Why, it seems He's not that close with Jhiyo?

Many questions popping in her mind. Napaka misteryoso ng mag kapatid na Mijares. They're twins and should be close and friendly with each other she thought pero sa ikinikilos at pagtrato ng mga ito sa isat-isa, halatang hindi magkasundo ang mga ito.

Pasimple siyang tumingin kay Jhiro. Seryoso lamang itong nagmamaneho. Sinilip naman niya sa salamin ng kotse si Jhiyo na nasa likod. Nagulat siya ng makitang nakatitig na pala ito sa kanya. He's smiling brightly ginantihan naman niya ito ng isang awkward na ngiti. She Didn't know why but she just can't get comfortable around him although mukha itong anghel na bumababa galing sa langit, may kakaibang presensiya ito. Like he's NOT that angelic deep inside. Dahil kahit ngumingiti ito nakita niyang hindi umaabot ang ngiti nito sa mga mata niya.

Nagbaba ulit siya ng tingin at nag isip. She sighed. Nakakatawa dahil hindi naman siya mahiyaing tao, but around him-- them she feel so small. She feels inferior and conscious all of a sudden. Alam niyang hindi dapat siya makealam sa relasyon ng mag kapatid, just like Jhiro Mijares said. I'm just one of his employee.

The whole wife thing is just an act, meaning hindi dapat siya makialam sa personal life nang mga ito. All I have to do is act as a good Fiancée in front of everyone. Isang mahabang buntong hininga uli ang pinakawalan niya at sumilip uli sa gawi ni Jhiro. She flinched when she saw him glaring down at her.

Wha--?

Nakakunot ang noo nito na humarap uli sa daan. Bumagal ang sasakyan at nakita niyang nagpalinga linga ito at nagulat siya ng huminto sila sa isang mukhang mamahaling restaurant.

" It's almost late for lunch. Let's eat here " Sabi nito at bumaba na sa sasakyan.

Pinagmasdan niya ito sa labas habang kinakausap siya nang isang emleyado doon na kumaripas mula sa restaurant ng makita ito. The manager? He was so busy talking kaya naman hindi niya alam kung lalabas na ba siya o hindi.

She wiped her sweating hands sa suot niyang pantalon na dinala niya galing sa bahay nila. It was her favorite kaya naman medyo luma at nangungupas na ito. She didn't mind it a bit before, but now she feel a bit conscious about it. Standing next to Jhiro Mijares makes her look so small and out of place. Na siguradong mapagkakamalan siyang maid or alalay nito kapag nakita sila.

Natigil siya sa pagbuntong hininga ng marinig niyang bumulong ang tao sa likuran.

" Wow. " That's what she heard.

Humarap siya dito and stared at him while knitting her brows. Nakangiti pa rin ito at inilapit ang mukha nito sakanya.

" It's surprising how Jhiro Mijares act like this around you. Now, you really did caught my attention Miss Chiyo " Sabi nito habang nakangiti although hindi pa rin umaabot sa mga mata niya iyon.
