Chapter 49

“Who's that?”

Lumingon ako kay Khael kasabay nang pagbalik ko ng phone ko sa bulsa. I smiled at him as I shook my head. “Nothing important . . . It's just my load,” I lied. 

It's an unregistered number kaya hindi ko alam kung bakit ginawi ko na lamang ang tingin ko sa kaniya. Just as I thought, he's looking at me, this time hindi niya tinanggal ang mata sa akin. Not until he stood up and walked towards the side door. 

Alam kong masiyado akong assumera para isipin na si Liam ang nagtext. But my instinct didn't betray me even once. 

I excuse myself to Khael, nagpaalam na may aasikasuhin lang akong iba. Tumango naman siya at sinabing doon lamang siya para mabantayan niya ang foods.
