CHAPTER 20
USLS
(WARNING! SPG scene ahead!)

It was tough not only for Ayla but for Sancho as well. Their sudden decision made their parents furious and disappointed. But in the end, they ended up getting what they wanted.

"Are you ready?" Sancho asked her.

Inalis niya ang pagkakatitig sa berdeng gate ng unibersidad.

"Of course."

Inilahad ni Sancho ang kamay sa kanya. She looked at it and held it before entering the university to take the entrance exams.

University of St. La Salle in Bacolod. The university of their choice.

Inaasahan na niyang kasabay ng pagpasok niya sa gate na 'yon ay tila bagong kabanata na namang haharapin niya sa kanyang buhay.

Vacation was almost over. Together, they left the resort a week before. She was currently living with her Lola Lucia. And Sancho, he was also living with his mother in Bacolod.

And Brittany? She left her in the resort. She had no idea what was going on inside of her friend's mind but she wanted to stay there. Besides, she wouldn't hold accountable for what trouble she would cause in the future at the resort.

Ilang araw ang lumipas, natanggap sila sa unibersidad na 'yon. Ayla took up Bachelor of Science in Business Management. Meanwhile, Sancho continued the course he was taking up in Manila which is Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Social Studies.

"So, Mr. Arvidsson. Do you mind checking my assignment?" tanong niya rito habang nakasakay sila sa kotse nito. Tila umaaktong estudyante siya nito.

Matapos matanggap ang balitang nakapasa sila ay 'yon ang unang beses na nagkita sila. Katatapos lang din nilang mag-enroll doon. Papunta sila ngayon sa mall para mamasyal at bumili ng mga gagamitin sa pagbubukas ng klase.

Sancho chuckled while driving.

"Do I really have to check that, Miss Ayla? Without any doubt, you're a woman of intellect," anito habang naniningkit pa ang mga mata.

Ayla giggled. "Sir, are you flirting with me?"

He looked at her and grinned. "No, dear. That is so unprofessional. But why do you say so, though?" he said before returning his attention on the road.

"You look like you're flirting, Sir. You're making your voice sexy. And your laugh is sexy, too."

"Ooh, what do we have here? Another episode of Ayla complimenting Sancho?"

She rolled her eyes. "Nevermind, Sir. What now? Are you going to check my homework?"

Natawa ito sa kanya. "What is it?"

Napangisi siya rito. Habang abala ito sa pagmamaneho ay tinanggal niya ang pagkatali ng kanyang damit sa bandang harapan dahilan upang halos iluwa na ng kanyang damit ang kanyang dibdib.

"What the heck, Ayla?" nagugulat na anito nang mapansin 'yon habang nakakunot ang noo.

She bursted into laughter when he lost focus while driving. He even almost hit a post. Mas lalo pang lumakas ang pagtawa niya. Sancho exasperatedly let out a sigh. He glared at her.

"Don't do that again."

Napahagikhik lang siya rito habang nakakunot na ang noo nito ngayon. He remained his eyes on the road and continued driving.

She had been laughing more often lately. Mas lalo pang umigting ang pagsasamahan nila na wala siyang ideya kung ano ang tawag.

Friends? No.
