CHAPTER 25. Confession
KHALI‘S POV
“Will you please stop glaring at people?” bagot kong saad saka ibinaba ang kamay ko.
Basta titingin siya sa‘kin parang lagi akong binabalatan ng buhay.
His expression suddenly turned soft after I said that. He closed his eyes for a moment to relax his face.
“I think it already became a habit...” malumanay niyang saad.
“You can talk properly after all.” Akala ko kasi laging iritado at galit nalang siya magsalita.
“I‘m sorry.” he said.
I infinitesimally flinched after hearing the words I‘ve never expect him to say.
“Never mind, just eat.” dagdag niya.
“Excuse me then. I‘ll order mine.” sabi ko. Tapos tatayo na sana ako nang magsalita siya.
“You don‘t like any of these?” he asked with a hint of worry in his face. “I should‘ve asked after all...”
“Hindi ba‘t sayo ‘to?”
“No. These are all yours.” sabi niya na ikinataas ng kilay ko.
“What the fck are you doing?” halos pasigaw niyang saad nang kapain ko ang noo niya.
Hindi naman na siya mainit.
“Stop cussing.” suway ko.
“I‘ll say whatever I want to.” mariing sagot nito.
“Then stay away from me whenever you feel like cussing.” sabi ko.
Parang hindi lang kasi talaga maganda sa pandinig ko ang mga salitang ganon. Lalo kapag galing sa kaniya, tagos sa buto siya magmura. -__-
“Tsk.”
“What?” I asked when I caught him staring at me.
“You look better without the eyeglasses. But is it really okay? You‘re not wearing a contact lens either.” tanong niya bigla.
Tinitigan ko siya ng ilang segundo, sinusubukang basahin ang ekspresiyon niya.
Is he worried?
“I think they‘re looking at us...” pag-iiba ko ng usapan.
Napansin ko kasi yung grupo ng kalalakihan na nakasuot ng Eastwood High uniform habang nakadungaw sa amin nang may nakakalokong ngisi.
I‘m having a bad feeling about this.
“Don‘t mind them.” bagot na sagot nito nang hindi man lang sila nililingon.
Di kalaunan ay nakita ko silang lumakad papunta sa pintuan ng McDonalds.
Hey, they aren‘t going to attack the injured King inside this fast food chain, are they?
“Get up. Let‘s go.” sabi ko sabay tayo.
“Why?”
“What do you mean why? Those thugs are going to this direction. They must be after you.” I replied.
“Are you telling me to run from them—” I cut him off by pulling him up. “There‘s no fcking way I‘d run from those shits!” bulalas niya habang hinihila ko siya palabas sa kabilang pintuan ng fast food chain.
“Habulin niyo!” rinig kong sigaw mula sa likuran namin.
Nagsimula na akong tumakbo at mabuti nalang ay nakisama si Trevor Ace Kang.
