Surrendering Dreams (Amor Series#1)

Kabanata 52

Nangyari nga ang gusto kong mangyari.

I was again enrolled in Law school using my own money. I just don't want to involve Greyson in my financial problems. As long as I can, I wouldn't bother him just to ask for his money.

Mayroon naman akong naipon kahit papaano dahil tumutulong ako kay Greyson at sa kumpanya ni Serene. 

Mayroon din naman akong nakuha mula sa life insurance ni kuya at medyo malaki-laki rin 'yun. Kasya na sa pag-aaral ko sa law school at sa mga pangangailangan ko hanggang sa maging abogado ako. Nagta-trabaho pa rin naman ako.

Gusto pa sana ni Greyson na siya ang magbayad ngunit pinigilan ko siya. Hinayaan naman niya ako sa kung anong gusto ko dahil wala naman din siyang magagawa. He knows that I wouldn't accept his money. He knows that I am independent. He actually respects my boundaries, especially that we aren't still married.

Nahuli lang ako ng isang taon sa kanila dahil kulang ako ng isang semester bago maka-tapak sa fourth year. Bagong blockmates at bagong kakilala na naman. Block section kasi sila kaya kahit i-take ko ang isang semester at mga subjects ay hindi pa rin ako makakasali. I was practically an irregular student.

It was actually better. No Greyson means I could focus more plus I have a chance to be the Valedictorian in our batch. I just felt like Greyson was generous enough to take the spot for the Valedictorian, which didn't happen the last time because my grades were barely hanging.

Maybe the good side of it is I'll be meeting new people, new friends and classmates to be exact. That way, I wouldn't be so dependent on him.

I woke up early to go to work so I would finish my work earlier because I still need to study. Besides, I have missed a lot of things and maybe I wasn't that good at studying because I stopped. The motivation and the rush that I felt may no longer be here.

Nandito ako nakatambay sa cafeteria mag isa dahil may klase pa si Greyson. Mamaya pa naman ang klase ko dahil wala ang prof sa unang subject. I actually like to go inside the library, it's more peaceful and quiet there, but it was already occupied by first year students who are panicking because it's their first day. I was like that too before, so I'll just give it to them.

"Hi, is this seat taken?" Someone asked.

I looked at her and she looked so pretty and elegant. She has that awra, I knew from that moment we could become friends. I wasn't really familiar with her or I just didn't bother remembering people's faces. My focus was clearly on studies and Greyson.

"No, go ahead." I said before smiling. It was a small smile. I have my fair share of friends, but I wasn't that friendly. I am the type of person who doesn't give a fuck unless you introduce yourself first. It's okay to have few friends with substance, than to have many friends who are mostly fake.

"Hi, we're blockmates pala. I am Maze." She said before smiling. She has a beautiful smile. I wonder if she's a model or something.

"Tanya." I replied. They said to make friends in law school because you're going to live in the small world of law. All of you would probably see each other in law firms, court, during trial and negotiations. I am nice to those who are nice to me.
