I Don't Want To Go Back

"May balak ka bang i-pursue 'yung Med? Any of the major aside from Med Tech since ayan na 'yung course mo now." Kylo spoke.

We're currently studying inside the coffee shop, nu'ng nakaraan ko nga lang nabasa 'yung pangalan ng coffee shop na 'to. It's called; Palangga Kafe. I think "palangga" is an ilonggo word means love or mahal.

Actually, ako lang talaga sana ang magaaral dito para sa licensure exam but Kylo insisted and message me to come and study with me since BAR exam na rin nila next next month. Mas matagal silang pinag-pre-prepare, they had 6 yata? Or 7 months to prepare, siguro kasi mas kailangan nila 'yon? Oo, tama.

Kaya ang ganap ngayon ay, ito we're just eating some snacks and resting for awhile. We agreed to have some rest every two hours of studying, his tip. Para hindi raw ma-drained.

"Maybe, yes. Maybe, not. Nakakapagod din kasi, you know." I chuckled while flipping the pages of my thick reviewers.

"Mukha nga.." he whispered, looking at my thick books and reviewers.

"Makakapal din naman 'yung iyo, nakakapagod ba?" I glanced at his thick reviewers. He have law books here too and thick reviewers, makapal din 'tsaka mukhang mabigat dahil hardbound cover ng law books niya.

Magkano kaya law books nito?

"Nakakapagod," he laughed. "I have no choice."

"What do you mean?"

"Mas mahirap mag shift ng course e, 'tsaka ayos naman 'yung Law." He nodded. Seryoso bang ayos lang?

He's taking up legal management, tama ba 'yon?! Oo yata. Wala naman akong alam sa mga gano'n, I'll search some terms para mukhang matalino ako.

"But Law isn't your first choice?" he suddenly broke our eye contact and just took a sip of his cup.

"No," he answered. I just watched him as I waited for his answers, but seems like he doesn't want to so I fakely cough. "It's fine." I said, maybe he understood what I meant so he smiled at me.

"Maybe next time, I could tell you why."

I nodded and just finished my food. We agreed earlier that we'll go home after. 'Tsaka ko nalang daw siya i-"date", or whatever kapag hindi na mas'yadong busy. We're both busy, so yeah. Maybe next time.

"Hatid kita." He spoke beside me. We're currently outside the Palangga Kafe, I'm thinking if saan p'wedeng maghintay ng grab, since I didn't bring my car. Nasira yata 'yung makina, I don't know. Biglaan din. But since Kylo insisted, I climb up in his car.

Wala pang thirty minutes nakarating na kami sa condo building ko. I went out his car but I didn't closed the door yet.

His eyes met mine. His hand was holding the steering wheel, I could see his calm arms and his watch on his left arm. His white simple shirt and black cargo pants suits on him well. Palaging ganoon ang suot niya, at sigurado akong panay plain na puti at itim na tee shirt ang nasa closet niya.

"Take care. Message me when you got home." I simple said and didn't let him say any words and just closed his shotgun's door.

I turned my back as I walked through the building's pathway in. A beep snapped me a bit, "Noted, Ma'am! Take care!" Kylo shouted.

I didn't turned my back because I know that I am blushing right now. I can't even hide my smile! Damn.

I just did was run inside the building while holding my hot and red cheeks.

Dana's squealed filled my ears while I was cooking something to feed her goddamn ass. We fucking met at the elevator with my hot and red cheeks, sama mo pa 'yung halos 'di maputol kong ngiti. She assumed easily and started interrogating me.
