My Professor's Obsession

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

I remained silent inside his car. Hindi ko pinapansin ang mga sinasabi niya at nasa labas ng bintana lang ang tingin ko. I am mad, not with Tim, but with myself. Bianca is right. Nasabi niya kanina sa'min na ikakasal na dapat sila ni Tim but here I am, together with her soon to be husband.

Alam ko namang ikakasal na sila but what can I do? I like him and I would lie if I will say that Tim didn't make my heart flutters.

I sighed and closed my eyes. The face of Bianca when she saw us earlier are popping on my head. She really looks mad and jealous. Though Bianca didn't tell us that she likes Tim, it is very obvious on her actions.

"Katrina," Tim called my name but I didn't answer.

Seconds later, he spoke again.

"About last time. I am very sorry for what I did, Katrina." huminga siya ng palalim bago nagpatuloy, "I was just.. I was just jealous."

Tinignan ko siya at nakitang nakatingin lang siya daan.

"Nagseselos ka kay Trent?" I asked.

He nods then looks at me. "I won't do it again. I won't hurt you again. I promised." puno ng sinceridad ang boses nito habang sinasabi 'yun.

Gusto ko pa sanang itanong kong bakit siya nagseselos pero hindi ko nalang ginawa. I do not want to be sounded assuming.

"Just drop me off on my apartment." I just answered.

Nakita kong humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa manibela. "Can I be with you?"

"No," paghindi ko.

"Please, Katrina. I promised I won't do anything."

Huminga ako ng malalim. "Tim, alam mo namang kaibigan ko si Bianca diba? You are her soon to be husband so as much as possible, I do want any issues."

Tumingin ito sa'kin pero binalik din kaagad ang tingin sa daan. "That's not going to happen, Katrina. I don't like her. I have someone that I loved, that I wanted to marry. And Bianca is not that someone."

Pumikit ako ng mariin at lumunok. Kaya ko 'to. Sasabihin ko 'to sa kaniya.

"Pwede mo namang subokan." I almost whispered.

Kumunot ang noo nito. "What?"

"Pwede mo naman siyang subokang mahalin. Bianca likes you, Tim. Aside from that, you two looked good toget--"

"Stop, Katrina. Don't say that," aniya at bahagyang binagalan ang pagmamaneho, "Don't say that, please."

Natigilan ako at hindi makapagsalita. Damn! Ito na naman po 'yung panunubig ng mga mata ko. 

"You cannot do anything, Tim. Gano'n naman talaga sa inyong mga mayayaman diba? Magpapakasal talaga kayo kahit sa taong hindi niyo gusto," tumigil ako at tumingin sa bintana, "and later on, matutunan niyo ring mahalin 'yung pinakasalan niyo."

Bigla niyang tinigil ang sasakyan kaya napatingin ako ulit sa kaniya.

Pumikit siya ng mariin. "Stop saying that, please." he then opened his eyes and gaze at me, "nasasaktan ako, Katrina. Nasasaktan ako kapag sinasabi mo 'yan. P-parang.. parang binibigay mo ako sa iba."
