FIDELITY

Chapter 15

EMBARRASSING

WE walk side by side, I'm aware that all eyes are following us, especially the man beside me. Does he really need to bring me in my classroom?

It's not that I'm complaining, pero pinag-titinginan kasi kami, everyone in here knows that i am  House maid In Nikolaides Mansion.

Umani ako ng irap sa mga babae, i don't think they are freshmen dahil na rin sa soot nila. While some of the guys are smiling and waving at me. I want to smile back to be friendly pero natatakot ako kay Xander kaya mas pinili ko na lang na hindi sila pansinin.

"Just this class Faith, after this uuwi na tayo." He said after a long silence. Anong ibig niyang sabihin? Isang klase lang ang papasukan ko.?

"Am i not attending my other subject?"

"No, today is orientation ng mga freshmen, though lahat naman ng studyante ay nasa gymnasium, pero mas pina-priority ang freshmen. I'll be there with you, after that uuwi na tayo, or do you want to go somewhere? Like mall or lunch outside?"

The last time we went for shopping, hindi maganda ang naging bunga noon, medyo nagka-phobia na ako.

"Lunch out side na lang siguro?"

"Okay, lunch out side then."

When we reached the gymnasium it's already crowded and noisy, this is very different from my high school gymnasium, this one is big and wide, very spacious.

Freshmen like me are wearing casual clothes, while the rest are in their uniform. My eyes are roaming around. Halos mga studyante dito ay nakaka-anagat sa buhay, some naman ay mga Scholar.

Ang maingay at medyo magulo na paligid ay biglang tumahimik ng maglakad kami ni Xander sa gitna, seryoso ang kanyang mukha, he's not holding me pero magkatabi naman kami.

Umupo si Xander katabi ang isang babae rin na freshmen, namula ang pisnge ng babae, maybe she's having crush on Xander, sabagay sa edad na 31 mukhang bata pa si Xander tingnan, kung hindi mo nga lang alam ang  totoong edad niya mapag-kakamalan mo lang na mag kasing edad sila ni Unique.

Speaking of Unique, namataan ko siya kanina, he's looking at me with smile plastered on his lips. Kung pagbabasihan ang kanyang itsura Mukha siyang maloko pero mabait naman pala.

Dahil hindi pa ako umuupo mahina akong hinila ni Xander pa-upo sa tabi niya. I guess hindi pa kami late dahil ngayon lang mag uumpisa ang orientation, or maybe hintay talaga si Xander?  After all he's the owner of this School.

Wenelcome lang kaming mga freshmen ng mga head ng Paaralan. Sinabi rin ang mga Dapat at hindi dapat gawin. " Rules and regulation! "

Someone  approached Xander asking to give a message to the students and teachers. Tumayo ito na walang ka ngiti-ngiti masyadong seryoso ang kanyang itsura. After his very short message kaagad naman itong bamalik sa kina-uupoan sa tabi kita.

Marahil ay na boringan na masyado, kinuha niya ang kamay ko,  he play with my palm. Mahina niya itong pinisil-pisil at minsan ay may isinusulat siya sa palad ko na hindi ko naman maintindihan. When i noticed na napapatingin na ang karamihan sa amin marahan kong binawi ang aking kamay, umani ako ng masang tingin mula sa kanya.

"Don't piss me Faith."

"But—but they are looking at us." mahina kong sabi.

"And i don't give a damn!" kinuha niyang muli ang aking kamay ang this time he place it on his thigh.

"You—you said they don't know that we are married." Mahina kong sabi, siniguro ko na siya lang ang makakarinig. "And I'm your maid."He sighed.

"Why those motherfuckers keep on looking at you."
