My Professor's Obsession

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Kaagad kaming kumain pagdating namin sa canteen. Mabuti nalang at wala pang masyadong estudyante kaya hindi kami natagalan sa pag-order.

"Bia, we're really super duper curious about the photo." Panimula ni Althea.

We are all here in one medium size table. Katabi ko si Nicole while kaharap naman namin si Bianca at Althea.

Bianca drink some water before she spoke. "Supposedly, dapat ay sa Italy gaganapin ang engagement party namin. Maybe the photo you saw was the time when we went out to have fun," Bianca replied which made us all surprised.

"You mean e-engagement? Ikakasal k-kayo?" Gulat na tanong ni Nicole.

Bianca nodded. "Yes but sadly, he refused." aniya at tumingin sa'kin.

Napalunok naman ako sa klase ng tingin nito. She is looking at me as if I did something horrible to her.

"He refused? So, he rejected you? Gosh! You're perfect, Bia. Ano pa ba ang hinahanap ni sir?" Althea strongly stated.

"Because he doesn't like me."

"Ano? I mean why? Bakit hindi ka niya gusto?" Singit na tanong ni Nicole.

Bianca smirked without removing her eyes on me. "Timothy loves someone else."

"Ano?! Sino naman?!" Sigaw ni Nicole kaya napatingin sa amin ang ibang kumakain. Nag peace sign naman siya at tinakpan ang bibig niya.

"Someone we all know," Bianca stated.

"Paano mo naman nalaman na may mahal na iba si sir Tim kaya hindi siya pumayag sa engagement?" Curious na tanong ni Nicole and I want to thanks her dahil 'yan din ang gusto kong itanong.

"He told it to me right in my face. Sinabi niyang hindi ako ang gusto niya and he loves someone else," uminom muna ito ng tubig bago nagpatuloy. "But he have no choice. Our parents are doing their best para makasal kami."

Silence prevails over us after that. Walang kahit isang nagsalita sa'min dahil sa gulat. But some questions on my mind have been answered dahil sinabi niya. Kaya pala parang close sila ni Tim. Ikakasal pala sila.

"Kat?" Gulat akong napatingin kay Bianca nang tinawag ako nito.

"Bakit?" I asked.

"What if ikaw 'yung gusto ni Tim?" Ngumisi siya at nilaro ang buhok niya. "Ano ang gagawin mo?"

Natigilan ako at hindi nakapagsalita. I do not know what's with her at naisipan niya akong tanongin ng ganiyan.

"Impossible naman 'yan," sagot ko at pilit na tumawa.

"Just what if, Kat." She replied while rolling her eyes. "I wonder kung ano ang gagawin mo. Iiwasan mo ba siya dahil magkaibigan tayo or aagawin mo siya kahit alam mong ikakasal na kami. I'm really curious."

Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. Even Nicole and Althea feel the tension between us. I took a breath and was about to answer her when someone called my name.

"Katrina!" Sigaw na ani Trent at lumapit sa'min.

Napangiti naman ako sa biglang pagdating ni Trent. He really is a life-saver.
