Twenty Minutes Of Summer

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

"Miss Calli?"

--------

Isang papalapit na mga hakbang ang namayani sa aking tainga. "Veil, sino ang--- Oh Goodafternoon po Professor Luis, pasok po kayo." Magiliw na alok ni Ella sa propesora.

Tumango at ngumiti ng tipid lamang si Miss Calli at naglakad papasok sa loob ng condo.

"Goodafternoon, thanks for inviting me inside. Seems like your friend doesn't know how to take care of her visitor yet her professor." Emphasizing the word Professor. Maarte, may halong sarkastiko niyang sabi at tumingin muna kay Ella bago ako balingan nito ng malamig na tingin.

Ano raw? Ano raw sabi niya? I don't know how to take care a visitor?! Bakit bahay ko ba 'to? Tss. Sungit sungit!

Umatras ako para makapasok ito. "This isn't my house...." I murmured taking away from them. I got straight to the comfort room para i-compose ang sarili ko and to make my self believe that she's real.. And not a clone by herself!

"Holy shit! Dahan dahan naman sa pagkatok, Ella!" I know it is Ella, base palang kung paano siya kumatok ay wagas na.

"Kanina ka pa diyan eh. Ano bang ginagawa mo? Nagbibilang ng yaman? Share naman diyan!" Malokong aniya ni Ella bago ko mapagdesisyunang buksan ang pinto ng cr.

Hindi ko na pansin na kanina pa ako rito sa loob at walang ibang ginagawa kundi ang titigan ang sarili sa kuwadradong salamin. I found myself looks like a stupid after all.... Eh bakit ba kasi umiiwas ka sa kaniya Veil? Eh sabi mo may progress kayo? Anyare na?..

I glared at her at iniwan siyang mag-isa sa labas ng cr. "Hey! This is my place so do not ignore me for Pete' sake!" Acting so mad but she didn't really--

No one's bothered to tell me na darating si Miss Calli sa meeting namin na 'to! And also, I forgot to think the possibility about her presence being present here on our meeting as a head professor in our department.

Minsan talaga hindi na gumagana ang isip ko kapag nabusy na patungkol sa aking trabaho. Iwinaksi ko ang isipin na iyan at naglakad nalang papuntang living room.

I found my professor comfortably sitting at the long couch while her back is facing me. She suddenly talk when she sensed someone is in her behind. "Why didn't you reply on my text messages..and you didn't atleast read my message on instagram." She coldly ask then faced me wearing her signature aura.

Damn that! This is bad, I forgot to reply on her text dahil na busy ako kanina. Shit... Shit... Shit... Damn you Veil!

Before I let myself get explain on why I didn't reply on her text messages ay bigla na namang nagring ang doorbell. Signs that they're already here. As I checked my watch, it's already 12:30 in the afternoon.

I took a seat not so far beside Miss Calli at pabulong na nagsalita. Tipong kaming dalawa lang ang makakarinig.  "Im sorry Ma'am, I forgot to reply, its just I am busy kanina." I apologetically said at alanganin ang ngiti kong ipinakita.

"Seems you aren't so sure sa mga sinasabi mo." Her beautiful eyes squinted as she looked at me.

WHAT THE HELL?! I AM SO SURE FOR GOODNESS SAKE! LAKAS TRIP AH?!

Everyone in the University knows the relationship between Miss Callithea and I. They're all know that our parents have been as business partner for a long time until now. But, they have no idea on what's my feelings towards to my professor.

I kept on holding these feelings so hard until the right time. Kung saan pwede ko nang isigaw na mahal ko 'tong babaeng katabi ko ngayon.

"Im telling the truth. No lies, just truth." Ay siyang biglang pag-alingawngaw ng boses ni Akio, Dale at Tristan.
