After Minutes (After Trilogy #2)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

I have a class in NSTP ngayon, I don't usually attend this pero kasi Tita Emma invited me. Gulat na gulat nga si Reid nang pumasok ako sa klase

"Naniniwala na akong someday, puputi rin ang mga uwak" I just sat beside him and pinch his tagiliran. Satisfied naman ako when I heard him winced, nakangiti tuloy ako buong klase. Our prof discussed lang naman yung mga lugar na pupuntahan sa second sem since on the ground training na daw kami sa susunod na semester

I am still nervous para mamaya. Mac even messaged me na hintayin ko siya sa labas ng building ng CEAS dahil dito ginaganap ang mga lecture for NSTP class. May dala akong chocolate cake para sa family niya, pinaiwan ko na muna sa canteen para hindi masira yung icing

I really don't know what to bring kaya iyon na lang naisip ko. Mabuti na lang hindi ako nalate sa class. I am wearing a gray shirt and a maong pants with white shoes. May uniform kasi for NSTP na polo shirt but it's so hot kaya nag shirt lang ako

"Tara puntahan natin si Yumi sakanila" pag aya saakin ni Reid but I shook my head

"May pupuntahan ako" tinaasan niya naman ako ng kilay

"Talaga? Saan naman?"

I smirked at him "Mac's house. We are going to eat lunch. His family invited me"

He clapped his dramatically at pumikit pa nga kaya mahina akong natawa

"Nag mamature na talaga ang Navreen namin, hindi na siya kaladkarin ng mga lalaki. I am so proud of you best friend"

I playfully bow at his words at nagpaalam na. Makikitambay na lang daw siya kila Charles, if I know magpapalibre lang yun sa food house ni Tita

Pumunta na akong canteen to get the cake at bumalik sa CEAS to wait for Macoy. Nakita ko kaagad siya with his white shirt and gray jersey shorts. Basa ang kanyang buhok as he fix it with his fingers

"Hello! Let's go na?"

"Nagdala ka ng cake?" anito at kinuha saakin yung box

"Yup! I think Michael will love it and your sister Emily" napangiti naman siya kaya sinabit ko na ang braso ko sakanya as we walk palabas ng campus

My batchmates are looking at us since kaming 1st years lang naman ang may NSTP and most people around here naman are just varsities o kaya naman may practice na dadaluhan. Napatingin naman ako sa grupo nila Kate na tinitingnan ako at tinaasan ng kilay like they are asking me a question pero nginitian ko sila at umalis na kasama si Mac

Pumara si Mac ng Jeep at sumakay na kaming dalawa. We are sitting in the middle part and medyo siksikan nanaman. He is sitting on the edge malapit sa babaan

"Kinakabahan ka ba?" tanong niya bigla saakin pero umiling naman ako at nginitian siya

"Now that you're here with me, I don't feel nervous at all"

"Sus! May pa ganyan ganyan ka nang linyahan ah" natatawa niyang sambit as he pinches my cheek

"Seryoso nga. Of course noong una kinakabahan ako pero I think your family like me naman" tumango tango naman siya

"Oo, lalong lalo na si Michael"

Pagkarating namin sa may sakanila nakita ko kaagad na busy silang lahat. Tita Emma is cooking, Mr. Lopez is helping his wife, Emily is cleaning the house tapos si Michael naman naglalaro lang sa phone niya

"Ma! Andito na kami, may dala si Navreen ng cake oh"

Napaangat kaagad ng ulo si Michael as he rush into our side
