CHAPTER 42. Jealousy
GABRIEL ZAMORA‘S POV
There she is.
Nagpaalam ako kay Kevin kanina na kasama ko dahil gusto ko siyang hanapin, tapos dito ko lang rin naman pala siya makikita...
Hindi mapigilang magsalubong ng mga kilay ko nang mapansin ko ang katabi niya.
“Uy, Gab! San ka galing?” tanong ni Kevin.
“Diyan lang...” sagot ko nalang.
Ngumiti ako kay Khali nang lumingon siya sa akin. Nakaupo siya gilid ng hinihigaan ni Kevin.
“Uhm... E-Excuse me.” Lumingon kami sa dalawang babaeng lumapit sa amin. “Diba friend niyo ‘yung matangkad na lalaki na naka navy blue shorts?”
Lahat kami ay na-alerto sa sinabi niya.
Sa pagkakatanda ko, si Jaeshin ang naka navy blue shorts kanina...
We rushed to the crowd where the people gathered to watch a live action scene as soon as the girl told us that our friend is in trouble.
I don‘t think so, tho.
Dahil pagdating namin doon ay tatlong lalaking nakahandusay sa buhanginan ang bumungad sa amin. Samantalang ang isa naman ay hawak pa ni Jaeshin sa leeg habang pinagsusuntok pa ito sa mukha kahit na hindi na ito makalaban pa.
That was expected. Mas nakakagulat lung siya ang nasa disadvantageous position.
Inawat ni Kevin ang galit na si Jaeshin ngunit ayaw pa rin papigil nito. Seems like he‘s in a very bad mood.
“Mayabang, eh.” Jaeshin said in a clenched teeth while intently glaring at the guy.
Di kalaunan ay marahas niya rin itong binitawan. Ngunit hindi parin naaalis ang matalim na tingin nito sa lalaki. Unti-unting nagsi-alisan ang mga nanonood.
“Calm down, Shin.” kaswal na wika ni Trevor ngunit tila ma-awtoridad ito.
Jaeshin let out an exasperated exhale before he left the scene.
Sinundan namin siya hanggang sa makarating kami sa cottage na nirentahan namin—ni Erin.
Hindi pumasok si Khali at naiwan ito sa labas kaya naman hindi narin ako tumuloy. Tutal parang hindi naman ako kailangan doon.
Actually, hindi ko naman ganon ka-close itong Four Dragons, si Kevin lang siguro dahil classmate ko siya.
In-invite lang naman yata ako ni Erin dahil binati ko siya ng maaga. Haha...
If Khali wasn‘t coming, maybe I wouldn‘t have come, too.
“Hi.” I greeted her with a smile.
She just stared at me and threw the same word back.
She never smiles. I‘ve never seen her smile since she transferred in Marvel High. Even a fake nor a sarcastic one. She‘s always expressionless whatever the situation is.
