Behind Her Bitchy Looks

C60

Leila's POV

"What?! Are you serious?!" Gulat at hindi makapaniwalang ani ko.

Bumaling ako kay Ping na siyang bumaling na rin saakin. Kita ko ang samo't saring emosyon sakanyang mata na hindi ko mapangalanan. Regret? Sadness? Hindi ko alam! Pero, teka... tama ba talaga yung rinig ko?

"Hindi ko alam, but look at Ping!" Brianna said, "Ganyan ba ang mukha ng nagjojoke, Lei?"

"Ping, you can't be serious!"

Umiling siya dahilan para manlumo ako. Why the hell would Jhoanna file an annulment? And Taehyung....

"And Taehyungs say is?"

"I don't know. Jhoanna just told me that she'll file one."

Ping sighed and brushed his fingers through his hair. I bit my lip as I imagine things that might be the reason of Jhoanna's sudden decision.

Crap. This is not about me, right? Labas ako sa rason niya, diba?

"Where's Jhoanna?" I ask.

Ping looked at me and shooked his head, "Kung plano mong pigilan siya, Leila wag na lang. Magsasayang ka lang ng laway. Her decision is freakin' final!"

Pumikit ako at nagtiim bagang.

"Why the hell would she do such thing?! Ping! May alam ka ba sa nangyayari sakanila?" Medyo inis na saad ko.

We are talking about annulment here! Fvck, marriage nila ang pinaguusapan! They must have some serious problem that they can't take para mauwi sa annulment ang lahat. At may mga anak sila! They can't be serious about this!

"Matagal ng may problema ang mag-asawang yan, Leila. Una pa lang." Malamig na aniya. Nangunot ang noo ko.

"What do you mean?"

He shook his head, "It's not my story to tell. I just came in their picture to help them. I thought I can but.... I guesse all I did was to make things worse." Humina ang boses niya sa huling sinabi.

Mas naguluhan ako. Heck, what does he mean by that?!

I shook my head in disbelief before grabbing my phone to dial Taehyung's number. Nakatingin lang saakin ang apat na tila nag-aabang ng isang malaking milagro! God, I can't bear with this! They should think about this seriously!

"Why isn't he picking up?!" I hissed as I dial his number again.

"Why would you call him, anyway?" Ping said in a stone cold voice.

"I want to talk to him."

"For what?"

I rolled my eyes and dialed his number again. Saktong pagdial ko ay ang pagring naman ng cellphone ni Ping. I watch him grab it and looked at the caller ID. Bahagya akong sumilip at nahagip ng mga mata ko ang pangalan ni Jhoanna sa caller ID.

"Hello Jhoa---" hindi niya na natuloy.

Nagsalita ang operator sa kabilang linya ng aking telepono so I immediately ended the call. Kunot noong ibinaling ko na lang ang aking attensyon kay Ping na siyang umiigting na ang panga. Pinaghalong, galit, poot, at inis ang nasa kanyang mga mata.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

He ended the call and immediately made his way out of the restaurant. Nanlaki ang mata ko at sinubukan siyang tawagin pero para siyang nabingi at nawalan ng pakialam sa paligid. He was fumming mad when he step out of the restaurant. It's as if he's willing to kill!

"Anong nangyari doon?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Bria.

Binalingan ko sila at umiling.

"Hindi ko alam. Pero sa tingin ko ay pupuntahan niya si Jhoanna ngayon."
