My Strict Professor

Chapter 53

Hailey's pov

You know the feeling of being in a ferris wheel? Where you can feel a mixed emotion of excitement, happiness, shock and nervousness because of the wonderful view from above? Na sobrang pinapakabog ung puso mo kasi hindi mo alam kung ano bang dapat mong unahin. Ung magandang view ba o ung sariwang hangin na nararamdaman mo. That is what I feel like right now. Naguguluhan ako. Ano bang dapat kong unahin? Ung kung sino sino bang nasa paligid ko o ung nangyayari ngayon? Or both? Kasi hindi ko alam kung anong meron bakit nandito sila. Naghahalo ung emosyon ko. My eyes are starting to get wet, my heart started to beats faster as if I'm on a racing field.

I'm at the middle of the hall, surrounded by the important people in my life. Starting to my family up to my girlfriend's. Our friends and those people who knows about us since the beginning of our love story.

But what really makes my emotion doubled is when the lights started to turn off, music started to turn on and all you can see is the projector with our pictures together.

I silently covered my mouth to stop myself from sobbing when the first picture flashed on the screen of the projector. That is our stolen picture when she was teaching me a billiard and it looks like she's hugging me from behind.

Yeah, I remember that time. Napilitan nga lang sya na turuan ako tsk. Then after that di pa ako pinagtanggol sa gusto ko kainan na jollibee. Tsk. I hate her that time

'But now, you're crazy for her' sibat ng aking isipan.

Yeah right.

The next picture that flashed is our picture on the beach where we are both in our wacky faces.

Cute. She looks childish on this one and her serious look faded away.

She's always looks so hot on every expression she's wearing. Why so unfair? Doesn't she even have any ugliness?

I'm just staring and watching this slideshow of our pics when I noticed that all people around me are also crying and wiping their faces because of their tears.

When the slideshow started to show its closing content, a familiar voice suddenly speak and the person I love is slowly walking towards me.

This is the moment when everyone around us became a props and only one person is the protagonist. And also, the moment when everything turns into slow mo, including how she walks.

" They said, there is no happy ending, there is no forever. And before, I believed that. I don't or wanna admit it, but I am a bitter one. I am a person who thinks that those are just bullshits. But when I met you, every thought I have for these things turned into its opposites. You made me believed that there is such a happy ending. You made me realized how worth it life is. You taught me the real meaning of life, the reason why I should keep fighting. You made me believed that forever will exist for us. You are the person who didn't stop believing me. You are brave. That in those times that I can't fight my feelings for you because I'm such a coward, you still there, waiting for me patiently eventhough you're hurting too much. 5 years ago since I met you, but I still remember the first time we talked. I still remember those times and memories I have with you since your junior days. "This is wrong" words that I kept telling to myself when I started developing a feelings for you. "Stop yourself, mandy, she's your student" words that kept replaying on my head whenever I'm longing for your presence. But when the time comes that I can finally fight my feelings for you, I told to myself that "uhh it feels so good. It feels so satisfying"I want it for the rest of my life. I want you, I love you. Now, I can finally say, the long wait is over. After all the things that happened, I can finally say that we made it and we passed our test. Our love for each other won, no one abled to destroy that, neither the distance. So now, Hailey Maire Saavedra, I want you to answer the hardest question I made for you. Because if not? Watch your card, there might have a 78 grade in there." Everyone around us laughed when she said those words, even me. So until the end pinanindigan nya talaga ung pambabagsak nya sakin hmm. Panay na ung tulo ng luha ko dito kasi alam ko na kung saan papunta to. Ramdam na ramdam ko kasi ung sincerity and love sa boses ni maam. At ngayong naririnig ko mismo sa bibig nya itong mga katagang to, mas lalo ko syang minamahal. At mas lalo akong nagpapasalamat sa panginoon na ibinigay siya sakin.
