Aggressive Lover [COMPLETED]

BTH THI KEA

CHAPTER NINE

ANURAK FIXED his tie first before he entered his next class. "What's up, everyone?" He immediately smiled. "How's everyone's day? Exhausting? Fun? Exciting?" Most of his students groaned which made him chuckle. "Oh come on. You still have to finish my class."

He saw his students pout. Ito ang isa sa mga rason kung bakit niya ginusto noon na maging guro. He likes seeing how the students react to each of his remarks. Plus, he likes the vibes. The work might be stressful but it's all worth it when he sees his students' accomplishments. Saka nakakapag-flashback siya sa mga panahong nag-aaral pa rin siya.

"Don't give me those frowns," natatawa niyang saad. "Anyways, today's discussion is very much easy to understand." He sat on the teacher's table while holding his marker and then pointed at the guy beside Worachet. "Mr. Yang, what do you remember about algebra?"

Tumayo naman ang lalake saka sinagot ang tanong niya. To be honest, he really doesn't care about what he answers, Anurak only cares about the fact that this Mr. Yang is whispering while laughing with Worachet. Sa hindi malamang dahilan ay naiirita siya rito.

When he saw the guy stop talking, he showed him a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Yang. You may now take your seat." Bumaba siya sa lamesa saka naglakad papunta sa board at nagsulat. When he finished writing, he faced his class. "As you can see on the board, we'll be having a class project." A female student—the one beside Worachet—raised her hand. "Yes, Ms. Navarro."

She stood up for a moment. "Are we going to submit the project to you or to our representative?"

Anurak thought about it for a moment before smiling at his student. "Which one would you guys prefer?"

The class answered altogether. "Class representative!"

He chuckled because of it. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you prefer your representative because you won't be pressured to submit your works."

Tumawa lang din ang mga estudyante niya, halatang tama ang sinabi niya. Naiiling na napangiti siya sa inakto nila. "Okay then. I'll just discuss with you the mechanics of the project then I'll have to talk to your class rep." He paused for a moment. "Have you guys done the election for your class representative?" Tumango naman ang karamihan. "Okay, that's great then."

Nagpatuloy lang si Anurak sa pagdi-discuss ng mangyayari sa project nila. Tahimik lang naman ang buong klase habang nagsusulat sa kanya-kanyang notebook. Habang nakatalikod sa klase ay ramdam ni Anurak ang kakaibang titig sa kanya. Hindi niya malaman kung tama ang hula niya pero sinusubukan niya na lang itong ipasawalang bahala.

At nang matapos ang isinusulat sa board at saka siya humarap sa kanyang mga estudyante at ngumiti. "As you can see, guys, your first project in my subject is just a piece of cake." His smile suddenly turned into a smirk, making the ladies stare at his face with admiration. "But never lower your guard. It's only easy because we're just warming up. As we reach the end of the semester, a lot more difficulty will be added to your projects and performance tasks. I may look like an angel sent from heaven, but trust me, I like challenging my students until they reach their limit." Bumalik siya sa pagngiti. "Anyway, our class ends there, but I would like the class representative to stay for the time being for the discussion of your submission. As for the rest of you, you may now take your leave."

Magalang na nagpaalam ang mga estudyante niya sa kanya. Tumalikod naman siya at ibinalik ang atensyon sa bag para kuhanin ang listahan niyang nakahanda para sa magaganap na submission of projects. Ibibigay na lang niya ito sa class representative para mas maayos ang sistema ng mangyayari.

Naramdaman naman ni Anurak na may nakatayo na sa harapan niya kaya naman nakangiting humarap siya rito. Unfortunately, his smile almost turned into a frown—good thing, he stopped midway. "Mr. Khankham, am I correct?" He had to suppress his urge to grimace at the sight of his student. Silang dalawa na lamang ang natitira sa classroom kaya naman mas awkward ang nararamdaman ni Anurak.

Worachet cleared his throat before opening his mouth to answer him. "Yes, Sir. I-I am the representative of the... the class, what can I... do for you?"

This is definitely awkward. Anurak thought to himself. But as long as he couldn't remember what happened between us, that'll be fine. Anurak smiled at his student. "Right. Here you go," sabi niya sabay abot ng listahan. "Use this list to track all the submissions of projects that'll happen in this class. Then give it to me together with your projects by the end of this month."

Tumango naman si Worachet na hindi ata napansing nakatitig lang kay Anurak na para bang pinag-aaralan siya nito ng mabuti.

Anurak couldn't help but clear his throat. "Do you have any questions?"

Wor nodded and asked in a soft voice—almost as a whisper. "Are you the Anurak Saetang of DAWN? Like the owner of LUST DAWN?"

He wasn't able to hide his shock at the boy's question. So he remembers? Why the hell do I feel happy about it? Anurak once again cleared his throat. "I ahm... yes. W-Why do you ask?" alanganing tanong niya sa lalake.

Tinitigan na naman siya ng binata, at sa pagkakataong iyon ay hindi na maiwasan ni Anurak na mailang. "So you do know Ms. Narae, Sir?"

This time, Anurak frowned. "Yeah. Why?"

Worachet smiled—genuine to be honest, which made the lines on Anurak go deeper. Nanatiling nakangiti si Worachet saka umiling. "Nothing, Sir. She just visited me last time and then I could somehow remember her, and you as well, Sir. I just got curious."

He unconsciously raised both of his eyebrows as he tried to pick up Worachet's emotions. And a question that personally made him grimace escaped his lips. "You like her?"

Worachet instantly blushed as he looked away. Ilang beses pa itong tumikhim para pigilan ang nagbabadyang ngiti saka tumingin sa kanya at umiling. "N-No, Sir. Of course not."

Anurak seriously had to stop himself from rolling his eyes at the guy's answer. Pinilit na lang niya na ibahin at tapusin ang topic kesa mas mairita pa siya. "If that's all, Mr. Khankham, then I better leave. I have other classes to attend."

Worachet smiled and slightly bowed his head at him to show respect. "Thank you, ajarn."

Tinanguan niya lang ito saka nauna nang lumabas ng kwarto at naglakad pabalik ng faculty. Sa hindi niya malaman ay iritadong-iritado siya.

So he likes Narae? Why the f*ck does he like her anyway?

Bigla naman niyang naalala ang sinabi ng lalake kanina. She visited him? I should really talk to Narae. Tumango na lamang siya sa naisip saka tuluyang pumasok ng faculty room.
