Chapter 3

"Dr. Callos only filed a week leave. However, if his important trip get extended, expect my supervision to your class to be extended as well," Dr. Zaragosa said. "Pero siyempre, sana hindi na ma-extend. I'm taking another degree as of now, so, my schedule is really hectic."

Siya ba talaga 'to? 'Yung lalaking nando'n sa napanood ko? Hindi ba ako namamalikmata. I mean, he's a doctorate holder and pursuing a double degree.

How come he's a sexual worker?

At ano... P'wedeng ma-extend ang pag-substitute niya? No way!

"Dr. Zaragosa, ano po 'yung second degree na pinu-pursue mo?"

Nilingon ko ang nagtanong no'n- walang iba kung hindi ang nag-iisang Garnet Salvador na dakilang interesado basta gwapo. My dear best friend winked at me and I could see the excitement on her eyes.

Ano kayang magiging reaksyon niya kung sabihin ko sa kaniya na si Dr. Zaragosa ang lalaking may-ari ng malaki at mahabang tutut?

"I'm taking a degree in forensic science."

Sabay-sabay namang napa-woah 'yung mga classmates ko. Kahit ako, hindi ko mapigilang humanga sa kaniya. Double degree 'tapos pareho pang mahirap na programs.

Kaya bakit siya nasa isang porn video kung may ganito siya katinong buhay?!

"Don't worry, Beta class, I am more approachable and less strict than Dr. Callos. I will allow you to do what you think is better," Dr. Zaragosa said, taking off the face mask he's wearing.

Parang gusto kong matumba 'tapos magpalamon sa sahig nang talagang makumpirma ko nang siya nga 'yung nasa napanood kong spg. That sinfully handsome face.

"Sir, ikaw lang po ba sa family niyo ang may heterochromia?" One of my classmates asked.

Those peculiar set of eyes... Siya nga 'yon. I mean ilan lang ba ang may heterochromia na kondisyon. I will never forget his face. That angular and strong face made me come just by staring at me through the screen.

"Yes. I was adopted though. So, hindi ko sure kung 'yung biological parents ko ay may same condition. But my twin sister has normal set of eyes."

"Sir, ang ganda siguro ng kakambal mo," biro ng isa kong classmate na lalaki pero hindi ko magawang pagtuunan ang pinag-uusapan nila.

Paano nila nagagawang mag-usap nang ganiyan habang nanlalapot na ang namumuong pawis sa noo ko?

I bit my bottom lip. My heart was erratically beating and my insides were clenching, because of the tension... And awkwardness. Naglakad palapit si Dr. Zaragosa sa working station ko and my body instinctively moved backwards. I almost hit the sterilizing machine behind me.

"Okay ka lang ba?"

Nanlalaki ang mga matang napabaling ako kay Alex. I nodded slightly and bowed my head, averting my gaze to the tiled floor.

"Let's all work together. I expect everyone to do their tasks efficiently. Being in this industry means working meticulously and smartly. I hope everyone will learn a lot in this practicum, okay?" I saw his black shoes walking towards my direction. "Gagawin ko rin ang best ko na maituro ang mga nalalaman ko."

Nalalaman? What? Like how to take a woman from behind?

Ahhhh! Bakit ba kasi siya nandito?!

"What's your name?"

Biglang tumahimik ang buong room and I felt heavy stares at me. Teka? Ako ba 'yung tinatanong niya?

"Clarisse," Alex whispered and I gave him a sideway glance, still bowing down. I arched my brows at him and he gave me an are-you-crazy look with widened eyes and clenched jaw.
