Enthralling Beauty Chapter 26
Ilang segundo pa ang nakalipas bago ko narinig ang pagbuntong-hininga ni Martinus. "Boyfriend mo?""H-huh?" Naguguluhan kong tanong."Is Rafus Cattaneo... your boyfriend?"His question silenced me. I was taken a back when in fact, I already perceived he'll ask me that question. I don't know what to do or what to answer. My flirty side wants to say yes, while my conscious side wants to deny it."Slaine Amaris Aranza!" Sigaw ni Crezst papalapit sa akin at agad akong niyakap.Nabaling doon ang atensyon ko at tuluyan na akong hinila ni Crezst papasok ng cottage. My body went numb as I saw Dan comfortably sitting on the couch.I surveyed the whole place and I didn't see our other friends. I took a glance at Crezst. Does it mean they slept together in this cottage last night? If my memory serves me right, Jangkit reserved four cottages. Who stayed in the other three, then?"Change your outfit first, Slaine. Sayang nga hindi ka nakasama kahapon, naghiking kami at pinanood namin ang paglubog

Ilang mesa lang naman ang pagitan ng inuupuan nila sa amin. I can vividly see how Rafus' muscles stretch as he clasps his finger and then places his arms on the table.My kinky side was preying on him as I saw him lick his lips while talking to Rojas. Oh, good God! Lipat mesa nalang kaya ako?I jolted when Dom suddenly wiped the tissue at the side of my lips. I faced him in bewilderedment."Tulo laway mo," mahina niyang sabi saka napangisi. I glared him then got the tissue out of his hold. Pinunasan ko ang gilid ng labi ko pero wala naman akong maramdamang basa roon.He and Jangkit laughed loudly, making our other friends confused. Even Rafus and Rojas turned their heads on us. Rafus was looking at me profoundly, and this was the first time I wished to be gone. As in right now.It's embarrassing for me! I didn't lift my head the whole lunch because once I did, their teasing eyes and smirks welcomed me. They just won't stop, and it annoys me more.Also, I'm not used to Martinus being a

"Slaine, nilamon ka na ba ng buhangin?!" Napabalik ako sa reyalidad dahil sa sigaw ni Jangkit mula sa malayo.Nawala sa isip ko na kasama ko pa pala sila. Napatampal ako sa noo at napailing bago marahang tumakbo papalapit sa kinaroroonan nila."Ayaw akong lamunin ng buhangin kasi nanghihinayang sila sa lahi ko kung maaga lang daw akong mamatay," asar ko kay Jangkit ng maabutan sila."Chosera! Maganda rin naman ang lahi ko ano! Undiscovered pa nga lang!" Umirap siya at pinagkrus ang braso.Nagtataka ako kung bakit hindi gumagalaw si Dom sa harapan ko at malayo ang agwat naming tatlo sa iba pa naming kaibigan. "We have something to confess to you," nagsitayuan ang balahibo ko dahil sa tono ng pananalita ni Dom. Kahit sanay akong seryoso siya parati, naninibago parin ako. "But, I do hope that whatever we say will remain here. Can we count on you?"I chuckled awkwardly, and the tension between us three was unsual. I never saw Jangkit this serious... so I conclude, whatever they'll say is

"Baliw ka! Saang lupalop ka nanggaling?" Halos mabingi ako sa sigaw ni Jangkit nang makatapak ako papasok sa cottage ni Dani."Naligo lang doon sa kabilang parte," sagot ko at lumapit sa kaniya para tapikin ang balikat. Umakyat ako para maligo at nang makababa ay nanliliksi parin ang tingin na ipinupukol sa akin ni Jangkit."Bakit?" Taka kong tanong habang pinapatuyo ang buhok."May dagat naman diyan sa harap, bakit doon ka pa sa kabila naligo?""Nasaan na ang iba?" Pag-iiba ko at napakrus naman siya ng braso."Tayo nalang ang hinihintay doon sa restaurant kaya tara na, sa amin ka ni Dom tumabi ha para hindi kami halata."Wala akong naging reklamo sa sinabi ni Jangkit at tahimik lang ako habang naglalakad kami papunta sa nasabing restaurant."Ang tahimik mo ata, Slaine?" Napaangat ako ng tingin dahil sa sita ni Lowell. Nakangisi siya at handang handa nang manukso."Kapag dumaldal ako, lantad pati ang kahihiyang

"Hi Manong Guard!" Masiglang bati ko nang makapasok sa gate ng school."Ang aga natin Aranza ah? Tsamba walang officers na nagbabantay ng gate!" Panunukso ni Manong Guard at may nakakalokong tingin kaya napabusangot ako."Grabe ka naman Manong Guard! Kaya nga inagahan para hindi magkaviolation!"Nakipagtawanan pa ako kay Manong hanggang sa natanaw ko si Inigo papalapit dito sa gate kaya dali-dali akong naglakad paalis. Officer siya ng school at baka malista pa ako.Nakarating ako ng building namin at dahil maaga pa, iilan palang kaming naririto sa classroom. Nakita ko si Kimberly at napag-isipang kausapin siya pero hindi pa ako nakatapos ay binara niya ako kaagad.Napaupo ako sa silya at nanahimik nalang. Nakita kong napangisi si Kimberly kaya napairap ako. Kay aga-aga naghahanap ng gulo!"By the way, bagay sayo ang gupit mo."Namilog ang mata ko at napangiti dahil sa narinig. "Talaga? Oh my gosh, thank you—""Magsuot ka na din ng backpack tapos kumanta ng come on vamonos every body l

Pagbalik ko ng campus ay nakasalubong ko si Rafus sa corridor. Our eyes met, and instead of stopping from my tracks, I walked past him.After a few steps, I felt a hand grip my wrist, and I was lightly pulled backward. I grunted overactingly and made a fake, annoyed face."What?"His lips were pursed, and his stares were calm and serious like he's studying me. Eventually, I felt the grip loosen, and the next thing I knew, his hand was on mine. I felt shiver in my body, and when his hand slowly moved on my palm, I felt like I was being electrocuted by a thousand volts.I took my hand from him as I drew backward. Seeing him right now only makes the conversation of Dani and Carys echoed in my mind. I slightly felt a pang on my chest. My vision was a bit blurry, so I tilted my head sideward."What's the problem? Is there anything wrong, hmm?" He asked in a calm voice, but I can almost hear the concern in it.Wipe my eyes, then simply
Enthralling Beauty Chapter 32
Our first day was smooth. Maaga kaming pinayagang umalis ni Mrs. Cattaneo at dumiretso nalang ako sa trabaho. Pagpasok ko ng store ay napasin ko agad si Rafus pero hindi ko pinaglaanan ng atensiyon kahit na ramdam ko ang mabigat niyang tingin."Good evening, Ate Reive!" Masigla kong bati nang makalapit ako sa counter.She smiled sweetly at me. "Good evening din sa'yo, Slaine!"Looking at Ate Reive, I'm not sure if she really is okay. I'm too afraid to ask because she might think I'm nosy with her private life. I understood why she didn't came to work that day, I could say that she still loves that Lazaro.I did my work seriously and I rarely took a glance at Rafus to the point I haven't noticed him exiting the store. Noong humupa ang bumibili sa store ay saka lang ako nagpaalam kay Ate Reive na maglilinis ng kalat sa mesang iniwan ng mga estudyanteng tumambay.I don't know if they saw the big sticker on the table about cleaning the place
Enthralling Beauty Chapter 33
Starting from that day, I started avoiding Rafus because every time I saw him, the scene in the library was always replaying at the back of my mind. How I was slapped hard by the reality that I won't be chosen by him. I bet Rafus felt relieved since there's no nuisance leeching around him anymore.Ibinuhos ko ang lahat ng atensyon ko sa work immersion. I sometimes help Dani when there's no available bagger. Hindi ko pa masiguro ang rating ko. Mrs. Cattaneo's a hard to impress. One time, when she's simply observing one of us, she wears that intimidating and stoical expression. Her lips were in straight line, and arms were crossed above her bosom.Good thing that happened when I was here in Cattaneo's Enterprise was that I didn't encounter shallow minded people and didn't see Rafus in my working hours.It's already last week of November, a week where our work immersion will come to an end. I could say that I've learned so much during my overall work immersio
