"Okay everyone, distribute the exam papers carefully. Pass it on the back."
Today is a short exam day for Leni's students. For this first exam, it's Microeconomics and multiple choices. Macroeconomics will be at the second day.
As Leni started distributing the papers and students passing it on the back. The professor took a seat on her chair as she observe every single one of them.
But until then, she looked at one stack of papers and taking some out to check. In the meantime, she saw in her peripheral vision; one student was just looking at her.
So she did was to also stare at the student with her glasses a bit down, "Sa exam ang tingin, hindi sa akin."
The student immediately looked back at the exam paper after Leni pointed it out, so she returned to checking the papers that the students passed a while ago.
After a few minutes, her phone vibrated; so she took it out to check on why.
Risa sungit
Labas ka saglit sa room. May ibibigay lang ako sa'yo.
Risa? Wala ka bang klase ngayon?
"Alright. Magsagot lang kayo dyan. Ang tumingin sa sagot ng iba, tatapikin ni San Pedro. Lalabas lang ako saglit." Leni stood up from where she was sitting to exit the classroom.
As she stood out, she saw Risa on the side of the corridor. She was handling one paper bag. Leni closes the door so that the students wouldn't hear them that much.
"Hi, my Prof! I bought you something!" Risa started pulling a pack of peach mango pie from the paper bag. Wow, my Prof na ulit ang tawag sa akin after calling me Leni for almost 2 whole freaking months.
"Thank you, Ris. Nag abala ka pa. Wala ka bang klase ngayon?" Leni asks.
"Kakatapos lang actually, so napagisipan ko to give you something to eat while exams for your students are happening. Eat well, my Prof!"
Risa gave Leni the paper bag and grinning afterwards as Leni was just looking at her with a slight grin on her face also. Ganda mo palagi, Ris.
"Thank you. See you ulit later." Leni thanks the taller professor and also getting surprised at what the taller professor did next; giving her a quick peck on the cheek.
It made the smaller professor startled for a while; also holding the cheek that Risa pecked on. Risa started walking away to the exit of the building with her still looking at Leni from behind; waving and smiling.
It's like Leni's world slowed down for a bit after that. But she just smiled as she returned inside of the classroom with a paper bag in hand. She saw that her students are still answering, so she took a seat again.
"Sana all po may peach mango pie." Sonny suddenly blurting it out while he was just looking at his exam paper. On the other hand, Leni raises one eyebrow up.
"Sonny? Chismoso ka talaga ng taon. Siguro tumingin ka kanina sa bintana."
-
Since Sonny was sitting on the back near the window area, he immediately looked at the window as soon as Leni exits the room.
"Uy gagi tignan niyo, si Prof. Hontiveros oh. May dala dala para kay 'girl friend'," Sonny told everyone in the class that some went to check; especially Ted and Dean.
"Ay wow sana all, peach mango pie!" Dean blurts out, making the whole class chortles as some only listens to what's happening outside.
"Ano ba naman 'tong si Prof. Hontiveros, ngiting ngiti. In love yarn?" Ted gossips as they kept watching from the window. And then, they also saw the quick peck on the cheek.
"Ay hala ka! May pag tuka! Lumakas na loob!" Sonny chortled that made the whole class say 'ayieee' in a medium volume so that they can't be heard by the two. As soon as they saw Risa walking away and Leni about to enter the room again; they all went back to their respective seats.
Acting like nothing happened, Leni enters the room with her handling the paper back with one hand as Ted, Dean and Sonny were just looking at her as she walk to her table.
And to think that Sonny is the bravest of them all, he said the impossible, "Sana all po may peach mango pie."

[5:23 pm]
Leni is just in the first floor of Leong Hall, trying to grab coffee to end the day. As she was waiting for her coffee to brew, Migs walked towards her to check up on her.
"Hi, Leni! Musta araw?" Migs asks as he leans his side on the wall as Leni was just waiting for her coffee to brew. Leni looked up at the standing professor before answering.
"Ayos lang naman. Nakaraos naman na sa exam mga bata. Ikaw?" Leni responds as she looked away again to look at the coffee brewing.
"I am also doing alright. Same thing! First exams are done!"
Meanwhile, Risa was taking the steps down towards the first floor of Leong Hall. As soon as she arrives, she saw Leni and Migs talking on the coffee brewing area of the first floor.
Risa immediately felt heat inside of her guts, so she walked towards Leni's.
"Pero yung chance kasi na maging ouster movement yun, it might be possible- hi Prof. Hontiveros!"
Migs immediately noticing Risa behind Leni, which made Leni jump a little bit. Risa on the other hand, places one of her hands around Leni's waist.
"Hi, Prof. Zuluaga. Is your coffee done now, my Prof?" Risa in her cold tone of voice as Leni was just sweating even though it's cold inside of the building. And in the exact moment, the coffee has done brewing.
"Ah.. kakatapos lang. Pagkadating na pagkadating mo, sakto." Leni grabs the coffee cup that has black coffee in it, putting a lid on.
"Uwi na kayong dalawa?" Migs asks as Risa was just staring at him. "Yes. Just waiting for her." Risa responds.
"Ingat kayo!" Migs said his goodbyes as the two female professors started walking to the exit; Risa still keeping her hand wrapped around Leni's waist. Yeah, stare at it, Zuluaga.
"Pardon me, professor? Bakit nakalagay ang kamay mo sa bewang ko?" Leni nervously asks with a slight chuckle as she drinks her coffee while they walk together.
"So I can keep you safe." Risa responds immediately. Ha? As if naman makikidnap ako?

[Extra Scenes: Caught in the Act (Prof. Kiko and Prof. Lei)]
Lei and Kiko were just standing in front of Ateneo Art Gallery building while they just talk for a while before going home to their respective condominiums.
"May napansin ka ba sa kuhol ko?" Lei asks, Kiko responded with a shook on his head. "Ano? Hindi eh. Ano meron sa kuhol mo?"
"Gaga, tumatapang ata. Nawawala na ata pagkamanhid ng gaga." Kiko widens his eyes out of surprise. "Trully?! Nako nako, gumagalaw na kuhol mo! Sana all! Yung akin eh may sagabal pa rin pero yun, torpedo pa rin. Onti nalang babatukan ko na. Charot."
Lei cackles at to what Kiko said. In the meantime, Lei saw in the background; Risa and Leni walking together and.. Risa's hand wrapped around Leni's?
"Ay shuta, Kiko, tingnan mo yun." Lei points at their direction as Kiko turns around to look. It made Kiko slap his hand on his mouth after seeing that.
"Ay?? Ay?! May label na ba?!"
