C78 Chapter 77

It's like these scenes only happen in teleserye and then here I am now... me and Trigger. Hey, I know if this line is full of cliche, but if it's really just a dream, I don't want to wake up.

"What are you thinking?" I turned my gaze to Trigger. We are now side by side while holding hands sitting on a bench on top of the mountain overlooking the entire city of Baguio. Trigger brought me here after class, I was even surprised when I saw him leaning on my side of the corridor where the back door of our classroom is.. I even saw us leave the building together, I was a little nervous but Trigger's touch my hand disappeared like a bubble my worry.

"Where are we going?" I asked Trigger. We had already passed the entrance of the subdivision and of course while Trigger was driving, he held one of his hands in my hand again. In terms of things, Trigger and I are always holding hands while driving.

"Just somewhere out there." He gave me a simple answer while he was driving up the mountain. I was about to complain that Mama might look for me when we go to bed and for sure that will worry me again which I don't want to happen.

Trigger's parents might also wonder because we are always together, especially his Mommy stays at their house more often. And I don't know if it's just me or Trigger's Mommy always doesn't treat me well, especially when the two of us meet, which I don't want to happen but I don't know, it always happens that we end up alone and then He said and asked me the same things.

"Does my Angeline like Trigger?" Trigger's mommy asked me when she caught me watering the plant while she was having a snack. Geez! It looks like he's going to have a picnic here! I just started watering and it's been a long time. Why should I leave it? Mama is supposed to be the one watering and since there is no school and I am not doing anything, I have volunteered.

"Yes?" Why is he asking me? Why not Trigger? Shit! It's not possible because Tirgger might tell about our relationship! He grinned at me as if he got a clue. My heart kept beating faster and I felt like he had done me wrong and he was just catching me. Overthinking is really annoying!

"I said hi, do you already like Trigger at your school? Is he dating someone or maybe she is my girlfriend because he just doesn't tell us. When I ask that boy, he always frowns and I don't get any answers. Our only son is really young."

I stopped watering because of what Trigger's mommy said. He drank a staa and then he turned to look at me, immediately our eyes met and then he said –

"I just hope that if Trigger has something he doesn't end up with cheap low class girls, you know that I'm not belittling but Trigger never deserves a house maid, a daughter of a house maid. A girl of our level, who is my class, educated and belongs to the high city like us, is more suitable for him. I don't want her to end up with a house maid. Maybe later he's just going to manipulate Trigger so he's getting close to my son."

"That's not true." None of my own answer to Trigger's mommy and I realized what I said too late. He raised an eyebrow at me. He didn't even say anything but I was shrinking.

"What do you mean by your answer Angeline?" He asked me rudely. I bit my lower lip and then I shook my head one after another but he still didn't convince me, he just stared at me. I was about to tell him again when Trigger's Daddy suddenly came so he lost his attention on me. "Hon, I thought your date was tonight." Mrs. said clearly. Steinfield to his wife.

"Our meeting ended early." Mr. answered. Steinfield and only then did he notice my presence when they sat at the table where Mrs. Steinfield.

"Oh Angeline, you're watering right now." And then Mr. smiled at me. Steinfield. I also tried to smile at him and then I wished him a good afternoon and once again the attention of the Steinfield couple returned to each other. It's really good that Mr. came. Steinfield but maybe Mrs. Steinfield.

When I finished watering the plants, I was about to leave the garden when I heard Mrs. Steinfield. Just then I turned my back on them, I closed my eyes tightly before Mr. Steinfield.

I know it. I know he wasn't just telling me that earlier to share with me what he wants and his opinion for Tirgger's love life. I know he hit me that way. Sigh. He doesn't want Trigger to have a child of sleep. He doesn't want me for his son. For Trigger. I took a deep breath before slowly facing the Steinfield couple again.

"Yes?" I answered him. It's good and I don't have to go near them anymore because I can't take it anymore. For the very first time in the many times that I had encountered the Steinfield couple just now I felt that our worlds were very different, that no matter how close I am to her, we are still very far apart. They are very difficult to reach.

"Think about what I said Hija, I don't want you to regret everything in the end, I hope you can think of all the help we and your Mama have given you, especially your Mama, you should put her first before others." And then he avoided looking at me and turned his attention to Mr. Steinfield who also just finished talking on the phone. What does he mean? My he knows. Don I'm sure but what? What does he know that I don't know? Why is Mama also involved?

"Nicole!" I immediately lost my attention to what Mrs. Steinfield when I heard Ciffer's voice. I immediately frowned and looked in front of me.
