Aggressive Lover [COMPLETED]

BTH THI CED

CHAPTER SEVEN

NARAE BURSTED out laughing after hearing his rants. Agad niya namang sinamaan ng tingin ang nakababatang pinsan. "Stop it, Narae."

Huminga ng malalim ang dalaga. "Wait." She even signaled him to stop talking. Akala niya ay titigil na ito kaya lang ay mas lumakas ang tawa ng pinsan niya.

Mas lalo tuloy pumanget ang mood niya saka ininom ang beer niya. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi mawala sa isip niya ang nangyari kaninang umaga.

Anurak wasn't expecting to see the person who took away his sanity as one of his students.

"I swear, Narae. If you don't stop laughing, I'll leave right away."

Para namang nahimasmasan ang babae saka tumingin sa kanya. May papunas-punas pa ito sa gilid ng mga mata nito na para bang naluha siya sa katatawa. "I'm sorry, Oppa. I couldn't help it. Napakamalas mo naman kasi." She softly chuckled. "I can't believe it. Para tuloy gusto kong silipin si BBB. Kumustahan, ganern!"

Nailing naman si Anurak. "I doubt he remembers you."

Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ng babae saka nagtatanong na tumingin sa kanya, "You mean to say, he forgot you?" He nodded. "Woah. But how are you so sure? Malay mo nagkukunwari lang siyang nakalimutan ka niya."

Isinandal niya ang likod niya sa sofa. "I don't know, nóng săao, but the way he looked at me... I'm pretty sure he's puzzled."

Narae reached for her beer bottle and took a sip. "Ang saklap naman nun. Akala ko pa naman happy happy ka na."

He flatly looked at her. "If he remembers me or not, isn't the case here, nóng săao."

Narae raised an eyebrow. "Then what is?"

Anurak gave her a really look. "It's pretty obvious. It's our status, nóng săao."

His cousin still looked confused. "What about your status?"

"Narae! He's a student, and I'm his professor," he exclaimed.

"And so?"

Anurak was close to giving up. "And so, what happened to us should not be repeated."

"Says who?"

He blows out a breath. "Says the law! Says me!"

Narae was now giving him a deadpan look. "Seriously? That's your worry?"

"How can it not be?"

The lady shrugged. "Don't mind me. Focus on your problem."

Seryoso siyang tumingin sa pinsan. "What do you mean?"

Narae shook her head. "Nothing. I was just wondering, your situation when you were looking for BBB was kind of familiar with Dom's for Kuya Angelo. So if my analysis is right, you must've had feelings for BBB. Maybe not a strong one but going there."

It was Anurak's turn to laugh. He finds his cousin's words funny and he couldn't stop laughing until he became all serious. "Why the hell would you think that?" He took another bottle of beer and quickly finished it. "Feelings, feelings. They're not for me, nóng săao. What we feel is pure lust. Hindi uso sa atin ang feelings na 'yan."

"That's what Dom used to say. Look at him now."

"My point is we're different people. The thing called love may have affected Dom, but it doesn't mean that it will also affect the rest of us."

Narae shrugged. "If you say so, Oppa. If you say so." She finished her bottle and looked at him. "So what's your next move?"

His forehead creased. "Regarding what?"

The lady grinned at him. "Regarding BBB."

Anurak couldn't help but palm his face. "Forget him. Avoid him. Don't talk to him."

"Oh, that's nice. I am positive that you won't be able to do any of those things."

Napabuga naman siya ng hangin. Kahit naman siya ay hindi naniniwala sa sinabi niya. Paano nga naman niyang gagawin 'yun kung nasa iisang paaralan lang sila? And worse, the one he wants to forget and avoid is his student for the whole school year.

Naniniwala na siya. Malas nga siya katulad ng sinabi ng pinsan. The guy stayed in his mind for more or less a month and when he finally tries to get him off his mind, he meets him on the very first day of classes.

"Good morning, Sir. I am Worachet Khankham, twenty years of age, and you do seem familiar, Sir."

Anurak's eyes widened in shock. Words weren't able to leave his mouth. Nakabawi lang siya nang marinig niyang magsalita ang isa pa niyang estudyante.

"Please don't say he looks like your future boyfriend," a male student said, which earned laughs from the class.

Pilit na nakitawa na lang si Anurak para itago ang kaba at pagkagulat. Hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siyang nakita na niya ang matagal na niyang hinahanap o matatakot para sa trabaho niya.

He just let this man lose his innocence through him and now he'll know that he's a student of his?

"Hey, stop it. Worachet's a straight guy, people," biglang agaw atensyon ng lalakeng katabi ni Worachet.

Yep, I'm pretty sure he's straight. Anurak thought to himself. Pinilit niya ang sarili na magsalita para mawala na ang awkward atmosphere sa gitna nilang dalawa.

Ramdam pa rin kasi niya ang seryosong titig ng estudyante sa kanya, kaya naman mas lalo siyang kinabahan.

"All of you really have a sense of humor. I'm pretty sure that we'll all get along for the whole school year," wika niya sa klase na in-agree-han naman ng karamihan. "As for you, Mr. Khankham, maybe you saw me last year. As I said, I have been a professor on this campus for two years now."

Tinanguan lang naman siya nito bago ito tuluyang umupo. Nagtuloy-tuloy na ang pagpapakilala ng iba pang mga estudyante, at kahit natapos na sila ay ramdam pa rin niya ang titig ni Worachet.

Anurak keeps on shrugging the unknown feeling caused by his student's stares but it won't come off. Kaya naman nang matapos ang klase nila ay nagmamadali siyang lumabas ng classroom at dire-direstong naglakad papunta sa faculty room.

He needs to calm down. He needs to think straight. He needs to move, decide, and talk accordingly.

Anurak can now say that they're living in the same world, walking on the same road. He needs to be careful.

Hindi pwedeng may makaalam na may nangyari sa kanya at sa estudyante niya.

Anurak frustratedly pulled his hair. How can I be so dumb? He wanted to blame himself if he ever goes jobless, but it's all in the past.

Wala naman talaga siyang kaideya-ideya noon na magiging estudyante niya ang lalake. At kung totoo ngang hindi siya nito naaalala ng tuluyan ay kailangang manatili itong ganoon.

I wouldn't let a single mistake ruin my dream job. Never.
