Prisoner Of My Own Pains Glow Up Series 1
"Why shedding tears, love?"
He ask, I was about to fall in that trap of him but I pushed him away.
"Stop with that! Bakit ka ba ganiyan?! You're making me fall over your trap! Stop making me fall for you!" I shout. His eyes widened before looking around. I can't help not look as well. And there I saw some students watching us.
I looked at the other side and wipe my tears. I turn my back at Jiro and was about to go downstairs when he suddenly held my wrist stopping me from my track.
I look at him then at his hands. I glare at his hand, my brows furrowed and taking a deep breath before looking at him intensely.
"Let. Go." I sternly said.
His expression is now serious making me tense up. I don't know but whenever he look serious I get so tense up and scared. That serious expression of him is like a different person.
"No.." he coldly replied before dragging me through the stairs, going down. We pass by the group of students who is watching us awhile ago.
"Sandali nga Jiro ano ba?!" I said as I try to remove his grip from my wrist.
"Jiro! Baka magselos yung girlfriend mo!" I said screamed as I pull his hand away from my wrist.
He suddenly stopped walking startling me a bit. I look at him shocked while he have his serious and annoyed expression.
"What the fuck are you saying?!" Be ask before dragging me once again through the hallway. When we exited the building he drag me on the side almost like a forest.
When he stopped walking I just stood there looking at his back. I saw his back going up and down indicating he is taking deep breaths. His grip still tight on my wrist.
Then he turn around. My eyes widened as I saw his gritting his teeth and he have this serious and annoyed expression plastered on his face.
"Girlfriend? Who the fuck is my girlfriend?!" I flinched a little as he said that almost like a shout.
I take a deep breath and swallowing the lump in my throat.
"T-The girl.. who answered your phone when I called you." I said looking down. He let go of my hand which my other hand immediately take,playing with each other.
I hear him blow an air then ruffle his hair.
"You mean... si Krizelle?" I lift my head up looking at him. I slightly tilted my head.
"Uh..maybe." I said and he nodded.
"Is that like.. 2 weeks ago?" He ask raising his left brow.
I pursed my lips and nod.
"The day I'm supposed to tell you I passed the tryout." I said and his eyes widened.
"Fuck.. really?! Shit! You should have been happy that day! But Krizelle told you that she's my girlfriend?!" He exclaimed and I nodded.
"What the fuck is wrong with that girl!?" He shout stomping his feet in the ground.
My eyes widened "Hey.. don't say that! She might hear you!" I said as I try to hold on his shoulders to calm him down.
"I don't care Laura! She ruined the day you're supposed to be happy! I'm supposed to be happy for you that day!We are both supposed to be happy that day!" He said panting, I held him on both of his shoulder and shake my head.
I sigh. "Stop Jiro, I just need some explanation. No need for you to be mad." I calmly said. I felt his shoulders drop. I glance up at him and saw him nod.
"Fine.. but we'll talk here. Where no one will see us." He said and my brows furrowed.
"Why not-
"Because I want it to be private." He cut, I pursed my lips and nodded. I remove my hands from his shoulders, taking few step back.
"I want you to explain why she have your phone that afternoon." I calmly said, my hands once again playing with each other.
"Laura, I left my phone here that time. Then she was the one who found it. I was relieved that night that she was the one who found it. But I just knew now that I can't trust her anymore." My eyes widened and I shake my head.
"You can still trust her! She's your friend!" I exclaimed, he look at me before squinting his one eye.
"How do you know she's my friend?" He ask raising a brow. I just stood there before shrugging.
"I just feel it. That you two are friends." I said, then I hear him chuckle.
"No she's not, she's just a player at chess here as well. Who happen to like me." He said, his last sentences caught my attention.
"She likes you?" I ask and he nodded.
"And she claims that day that she's your girlfriend?" I said and he shrug.
I rolled my eyes. "Ugh, pathetic." I mumbled and he burst into laughter.
"You're cute when you're jealous." He said and my eyes widened.
"What the fuck! I'm not!" I said hitting his shoulder playfully.
"Oh really eh?" He teasingly ask. I rolled my eyes once again.
"I'm not, and I don't care if she really is your girlfriend. As if I care! Go make everyone your girlfriend. But you're still my Personal Assistant." I said crossing my arms. He giggled before nodding.
"Yes ma'am, and I can also be your boyfriend." My eyes widened. My mouth formed a small 'o' and my hands moved on its own breaking down the cross.
"What.. the fuck?" I confusedly ask. Jiro started laughing.
"Never mind, is that all you want to ask. Because I have something to say." He said, I slowly shook my head and he nodded.
"Okay.. first of all, I want to say sorry. I know you're disappointed that day na si Krizelle ang sumagot ng tawag mo. And I'm sorry, kasama mo dapat ako na maging masaya that time. I would be so damn happy that day kung nalaman ko lang..." He paused taking a deep breath.
"Nagulat nalang ako kanina nang makita ko na ikaw pala ang kalaban ko. Wala tayong naging contact sa isa't isa for the past two weeks. And I'll be honest.. I missed you." He said and my yes widened a bit.
"I was sad those two weeks na hindi ka manlang mag text or what. Ayaw ko naman na bigla ka nalang puntahan o I-text. Every time na kakain kami ni Lola. I feel guilty cause we're eating the food you bought for us but I wasn't able to help in those two weeks." He said and my expression softened.
So he's been feeling that? He really does have a good heart.
"Wala naman akong nakita ng text or what na mula sayo except yung huli mo pa na nabasa ko. Probably Krizelle deleted your text messages." He said and I nodded.
"Yeah. .probably." I said and I hear him chuckle.
"I'm sorry Laura.." he said and I shake my head.
"No need.. it's fine. Hindi lang ikaw ang naghirap those weeks. I also think about you. Kung kumakain ka ba, kung kamusta si Lola. And stuff like that. Regarding naman sa practice ko, I'm thankful sa mga friends ko." I said and he smiled.
"Yeah.. I was pretty shock sa mga skills and techniques mo kanina. I'm so proud of you!" He said and I smiled.
"Thank you.." I shyly said.
We became silent for a moment before I hear him clear his throat.
"Uhm.. is it okay if I.. ask for a hug?Just to congratulate you." He said, I pursed my lips.
I don't really like hugs. I would push away Gwen or Ali when they would playfully hug me. Because they know I hate hugs.
"Uh.. yeah."
I said and he smiled. Before he slowly walk towards me. His arms open wide. I froze on my spot as he finally engulf me with his warm hug.
Then I smell his scent. Its not special. It doesn't smell like any perfume. Any branded perfume or any detergent. But it was his smell. Not from his shirt but form his body.
His scent doesn't smell like any sweat. This is the first time I liked a smell of someone's body. His scent feels is relaxing. I can stay like this for hours.
And his hugs feel so comfortable. I've never know hug can this be satisfying. His hug and smell is my drugs. And I'm drowned to it.
But he suddenly pull from the hug, startling me and bringing me back to my senses.
"It's already lunch, let's eat." He said holding me on both of my shoulders.
I nodded. "Sure." I said and he smiled.
He hold me on my hands with made me so shocked. He startled walking and I'm just there silently following. I felt my cheeks heat up as I enjoy the feeling of his hands on mine.
We entered their school canteen. Some students already there,which made me a bit embarrassed and nervous. There's a lot of people here. They probably see our hands connected.
"Laura, pili na. Libre ko." My eyes widened and shook my head.
"No, I'll be the one paying." I said and he shook his head to,copying my expression a while ago.
"Nung nakaraan na dalawang linggo. I had a small job, I tutored some new chess players. And with that, I earn some money. Now this is my blow out for you." He said and, I pouted before nodding.
I look at the variety of food they have. The foods are just simple but I won't be picky for today. And I'll make sure to choose the cheapest.
"I like this one." I pointed at the plates which have a cup of rice and a hotdog.
"Ate Ito nga po." He said pointing at the plate.
"Tapos isa po nitong munggo." He said and my eyes widened.
"Wait.. why not take hotdog too?" I ask and he chuckled.
"May isa pa tayong pupuntahan." He said before winking. My brows furrowed. I eyes him the whole time he's paying. Our foods were transferred to papers cups.
Jiro gave me my cup with disposable spoon and fork inside. Using his available hand. He reach for my hand and we get through the crowd. As we exited the crowded canteen we stopped for a moment to breath.
"Saan tayo next?" I ask him innocently. He giggled before reaching his hands towards my cheek. My eyes immediately widened and push his hands away.
"No! No!" I said and he laugh.
"Okay, no, tara dito." He said before dragging me once again. We left the main building and walk through the part of their school that doesn't have any roofs. So we are basically walking under the suns and it's killing me to be honest.
"We're here." I confusedly looked at him.
"Eh?" I said looking at him confused. He just giggled at me. I look around and saw that we stopped at kubo.
I realized that there's someone selling foods in here. So it's like another canteen but just in a kubo. Wow! Why didn't I saw this kanina?!
"Pili na.." He said. I bite my lower lip looking at the variety of fried and oily foods.
"Masarap ba 'to?" I ask pointing at the fried siomai.
Jiro laughed and nod.
"Yes it is. Gusto mo?" He ask and I bite my lower lip before nodding.
"Stop biting your lower lip first and I'll buy you 4." He said and my eyes widened. I immediately remove my upper teeth set on my lower lip.
"Good." He said before handing the vendor 20 peso bill. The ate prepared the order before handing me the paper plate that contains 4 siomai.
"Ikaw?" I ask and Jiro shook his head head.
"To be honest may baon ako." He said and I nodded.
Just we are about to transfer in the next kubo when someone suddenly called my name.
"Laura!" My head immediately snapped at the direction where the scream came from.
My eyes immediately widened as I saw Ali from the second floor of the main building. She's waving her hands so I can clearly see its her.
"Dyan lang kayo! Dyan lang! Wag kayong aalis! Subukan niyo umalis pepektusan ko kayo!" She said before entering a room.
"Oh god !Tara alis na tayo!" I said panicking. But Jiro only looked at me confusedly.
"Hindi ba sabi niya 'wag daw tayong umalis dito." He innocently said. I hissed stomping my feet on the ground.
"Ugh fine!" I said giving up. We stood in between two kubo while waiting for Ali.
Shit! She's gonna know who is Jiro now! Yes, she know about him already. But she doesn't know his name or his look. Now she's gonna meg him!
Oh gosh!
"Hey biatch!" Ali greeted as she arrived in front of us.
"Kakain palang kayo?" She excitedly ask. I look at Jiro before nodding.
"Pasabay ha! May baon ako." She said raising her tupperware.
I nodded before we head to the kubo. Me and Jiro beside each other while Ali is opposite to us. We started to eat and I just can't help but to glance at Ali in time to time.
Did she forget about what I said to her weeks ago? Or is she just acting like she doesn't know him so that I won't feel embarrassed or what. What if I told her this is Jiro then she suddenly say that he's the guy I like?I'll immediately follow it na he's just my PA.
Baka kasi masabi niya na fusto ko si Jiro. It'll be a lot of embarrassment. But I think it's better if she knows him. Pero dapat sa kaniya lang muna. Hindi dapat niya sabihin pa sa iba. Dahil magkakaharap naman na rin kami ngayon tatlo. Sasabihin ko na.
"Uhm.. Ali, remember what I told you two weeks ago?" I ask, Ali lift her face up before nodding.
"Uhm..Ali, this is Jiro.. uhm.. my-
"PA? Personal Assistant? I know Laura, you don't have to remind me. Masaya ako na nakita ko rin itsura niya." She said smiling. My eyes widened a bit and smiled.
"Yeah he is, the one I told you na kasama ko bumili." I said and she nodded.
"Sana all may PA, para ka tuloy artista." She said pouting and I laughed.
"Yeah.. hahaha." I shyly said before looking down at my plate.
"Ang gwapo mo pala 'no?" She suddenly said making my head snap up.
"May jowa ka?" She ask hear head leaning on her hand.
"Ali.." I warned but she just look at me.
"What? I'm just asking him. Ang cute kasi." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Ang rupok." I whispered.
"I know, now may jowa ka?" She ask again. I hear Jiro chuckled.
"No maam, I'm single." Jiro politely replied. Ali's eyes widened and she even squealed.
"Oy! Bet ko 'yang 'Ma'am' 'Ma'am' na 'yan ha! Pagpatuloy mo!" She said and I rolled my eyes while Jiro laughed.
"Anak po kayo ni Mrs. Elazar right?" Jiro ask and Ali nodded.
"Adviser ko po siya last year." Jiro said and Ali's eyes widened, full of panic.
"Hala! Weh?! Wag mo sabihin kay mama na tinanong ko sayo 'yon okay? Ha?" She said and Jiro laughed before nodding.
"Good, ay wait! Ano pala name mo?" Ali ask.
"Jiro Oliver Engrasio." Jiro replied and Ali gasped.
"Ang ganda ng name mo! Jiro Oliver!Pak na pak boi!" She said and me and Jiro laughed.
"Thank you Maam." Jiro said and Ali shake her head.
"Tama na 'yung Maam! Baka mapagkamalan nanaman akong Teacher! Hinto!" She said and we bursted into laughter.
"Okay, then what should I call you?" Jiro asked and Ali look so shocked.
"Ay shet wait! English 'yon!" She said pinching the bridge of her nose looking at the ceiling.
"Sandali lang ha mabilis lang 'to." She said then remove her hand form her nose looking back at us.
"Englishero ka? Sana all." She joked and I chuckled.
"Alejandra Ivette Elazar. Ali nalang, subukan mo akong tawaging Alejandra pepektusan kita." She said and we once again started laughing.
"Uy ganito talaga ako ha !Sabog pero maganda." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Ang hangin." I murmured but she heard it.
"Narinig ko 'yon Laura Kassandra!Hinto!" She said and I just chuckled.
"Bagal niyo kumain 'no?" She said and I just laugh a little after taking a bite of my food.
"Una na ako, babalik na ako sa faculty ni mama. Bye bye! Enjoy kayo! Jiro bantayan mo 'yang si Laura! Congrats den, balita ko 1st ka Jiro tapos 2nd si Laura. Congrats!" She said and I smiled.
"Thanks! Thank you din sa tulong niyo!" I said and she just nodded while walking away.
As she is no longer at our sight,me and Jiro looked at each other before he burst into laughter making me confuse.
"Bakit? May dumi ba sa mukha ko?" I confusedly ask touching my face and the side of my lips.
Jiro shook his head while laughing.
"H-Hindi.. hahahah.. ang ingay pala ng anak ni Maam Elazar. Akala ko tahimik gawa nang hindi halos nagsasalita kanina. Tapos bigla nalang ganun." He said and I just chuckled.
"Yeah.. ganun talaga siya. Pero mas maingay si Gwen-
My eyes widened and I just realized I dropped a name of one of my friends. It might not be a big deal for others. But for me it is.
Si Ali pa nga lang ang nakikilala niya and I'm already nervous kanina. What more kung si Gwen. Mas maingay, mas madaldal, mas sabog, mas kalog.
"Gwen? Sino 'yon? Friend mo rin?" Je ask. I pursed my lips before slowly nodding.
"Pero hindi na importante-
"How come na jindi importante eh friends mo sila?" He cut me off. I hiss before taking a deep breath.
"Basta, kung si Ali nga ganun na mag tanong. Lalo na yung iba. Si Gwen, mas maingay siya, mas madaldal. At mas magulo. Tsaka she curse a lot even in public. Even at Ali's house. So I'm not yet ready to introduce them to you." I explained. Jiro just nodded before shrugging.
"Okay. .as you say." He said before standing up. When I saw his plate already empty I hurriedly take my last spoon before following him.
We disposed the cups and utensils we used. Then I suddenly got thirsty.
"Let's buy some water. Ako na ang magbabayad." I said and he chuckled before nodding. In the same stall we bought siomai we bought two cold water bottles.
"Nabusog ka ba?" He asked and I nodded.
"Good.. next time, sa pagmamahal naman kita bubusugin.
