Chapter 33

Caine

NAPATANGA ako kay Nassandra nang lumapit siya sa akin. She looked so damn tired. I was waiting here at the parking lot. Napaaga ako ng dating pero ayos lang. Nalibang naman ako sa pagtingin sa magazine ng mga sasakyan.

“You damn look tired.”

“Do I?” walang buhay na sagot niya, halos malaglag na ang bag sa balikat.

I chuckled and got her bag from her.

“You have to rest, plenty of rest.”

She nodded, lips protruding. She hopped in the car but I noticed that she was in bad shape.

“May kaaway ka ba?”

Umiling siya. I don’t believe her. I looked back and looked around. Wala naman akong nakikita liban sa ilang estudyante na naglalakad.

Perhaps she’s really just so tired.

“Nabigla ako sa first day of school,” reklamo niya.”

“you’ll get used to it, baby. You’re just tired. Tomorrow, you’ll be lively. You’ll see.”

“I hope so,” nakalabi pa rin na sagot niya kaya nangingiti na lang akong nag-start ng makina ng sasakyan.

I CAN’T help but glance and check on Nassandra
