Rue's POV
"Ruella Venice Flovira! Anak ka ng tatay mo, bumangon kana diyan!" tawag sa akin ni mama habang kinakatok ang pintuan ng kwarto ko na parang masisira na sa ginagawa niya.
"I'll be there in a minute, Mama!" tipid na sabi ko.
"Mal-late kana anak, first day of school mo ngayon." paliwanag ni mama habang panay katok pa rin sa pinto.
"Lalabas na po ako, Ma. I'll just take a shower muna." nahihikab-hikab pang sabi ko kay mama.
"Okay, just go to the dining area after you take a bath ha, your dad is here." pagpapaalam sakin ni mama.
I went to my bathroom to take a shower and all, after that I go straight to our dining area.
Sumalubong sa akin ang tingin ni mama at papa.
"Good morning, my angel." my dad said and kiss my forehead.
"Good morning, Dad. I thought you were on a business trip?" I asked my dad because that was what I thought.
"Oh baby, I don't go there because your mom asked me to. She's jealous of my client," he whispered, laughing, and Mama gave him a dangerous look.
"Oh shut up, I'm not jealous of her. Paa ko lang yon!" Mama said inirapan pa si Papa, kaya natawa kami ni Papa.
"You know that you're the love of my life, hon. I love you more than you love me. You're the only one who looks beautiful in my eyes!" sabi ni papa at tinuro naman ako ni mama.
"Our daughter is gorgeous too." nakangiting sabi ni mama.
"Kanino pa ba magmamana, syempre satin. Oh siya kumain na tayo!" pang-aanyaya ni papa, lumapit kami ni Mama at inayos ang gagamitin namin.
This is how I want my future family to be like.
"Mom, Dad, I'll leave na po baka malate pa ako." pagpapaalam ko sa kanila.
"Hindi ka pa kumakain anak" sabi ni Mama.
"Baka po sa cafeteria nalang ako kumain, sorry mom." sabi ko habang inaayos ang sarili.
"Honey, your contact lenses hindi mo pa nasu-suot." sigaw ni Mama. My mom knows I use contacts to avoid people staring in my eyes dahil awkward at nad-distract din ako sa kanila.
"Mom, Dad, I'm gonna go na talaga." nagmamadaling sabi ko and kiss them on the cheek.
We may look like a simple family, but my mom is an architect, my dad is an engineer, and I handle my own business, which no one, not even my parents, knows about.
They only know that I'm living my life. Three years ago, I graduated from Senior High School with an ABM strand, which is quite different from the course I pursued. But it's fine with them as long as I'm happy. I want to be like my mom and become an architect.
There's a reason I chose the ABM strand: at that time, I was already starting my business. Now, I'm feeling bored with life. I'm earning money without doing much, except signing papers, as my secretary handles most of the tasks. To add a little excitement to my life, I decided to pursue an architecture course three years ago. Isang taon nalang ay g-graduate na ako.
*************
I'm in my car, heading to my best friend Jen's house. After 10 minutes, I arrive and see Jen waving excitedly, like a happy kid.
"Good morning bff, Nikie texted me earlier, sunduin daw natin siya. Sira kasi car niya." paliwanag nito sa akin at saka umupo sa passenger seat.
We're on our way driving to Nikie's house, nadatnan namin itong nil-lock ang pintuan. Nang makita kami ay lumapit na siya sa amin at nakipagbeso.
"I'm sorry Ven, my car broke yesterday and I called the car technician and he said hindi pa raw tapos." sambit nito pagkapasok sa kotse. Iba kasi ang way ng bahay nito, napalayo kami sa University.
We arrive at school, ang daming students na nagkalat sa corridor. It's still early pa kasi.
"Tol, balita ko may bagong hot na Professor"
"Bes, bading na ata ako. Ang ganda niya!!"
"I saw the new professor earlier, she's so fine!"
"My gay ass can't handle it!"
"Pre ang ganda ng bagong Prof, hindi na talaga ako aabsent nito."
I heard some gossip to those students walking in the hallway but I decided to ignore them.
"Hey Ven, do you hear that? There's a new professor daw in Architecture Design" sabi ni Jen na sinundan ni Nikie "Yeah, I heard she's hot daw but she look like a terror " segunda ni Nikie kay Jen.
"Stop gossiping guys, why don't we see it ourselves?" sabat ko sa dalawa at agad naman silang tumango.
Nasa amin ang atensyon ng karamihan at ilan ay nag-iingay, ngunit nang may marinig silang nakatakong naglalakad papasok, tumahimik ang lahat at agad tumikhim ang bagong pasok.
Nang makita ko ang kanyang mukha ay nagsimulang magkarera ang tibok ng puso ko.
Oh my–she's the girl I slept with!
She looked stunning in her blouse and pencil skirt; kitang-kita ang hubog ng katawan niya. Nalipat ang tingin ko mula sa kanyang dibdib pataas sa kanyang mukha. She's too serious, hindi tulad ng nakita ko sa bar, kung saan kulang na lang ay magwala siya dahil sa pagkawild nito.
She has hazel brown eyes, a small and pointed nose, and those lips—I remembered what they tasted like. Parang bumalik ako sa ulirat nang marinig ko siyang magsalita.
"Good morning everyone" she greeted us with a deadpan look.
"Good morning Miss-" natigil kami dahil hindi namin alam ang pangalan niya, "Fernandez. Miss Fernandez." inilibot niya ang tingin at napako ito sa akin.
Nagsimula na namang maghabulan ang tibok ng puso ko, natatakot, kinakabahan pero nangingibabaw yung sinasabi nilang 'I can feel the butterfly in my stomach' totoo pala iyon akala ko biro-biro lang.
"Let me introduce myself to this class. I'm Sage Fernandez, your Professor in Architecture Design." nakapoker face pa rin, samantalang ako ay parang nauubusan ng hininga.
She's going to be our professor, gosh!
"And you, at the back with the pink top and spider design, introduce yourself to the class. The person beside you will be next once you're done." walang kaabog-abog na sabi nito.
Tiningnan ko si Jen at muntik na akong matawa, halatang kinakabahan ito namumutla at nanginginig ang mga kamay nito.
"I am Jennah McKenzie, I'm 21 years old nakatira sa tirahan." sinubukang alisin ang kaba nito gamit ang pagbibiro ngunit mas lalo itong namutla nang magkunot ang noo ni Miss Fernandez.
"Next." ma-awtoridad na sabi nito at may kunot ang noo, tumayo ako pilit na inaalis ang kaba at nagpakilala.
"Hi, hi, mabuhay! My name is Ruella Venice Flovira but you can call me Ven. I am majoring Architecture because I want to be like my mom." tumitig ito ng napakalalim, naaalala niya ba yung nangyari samin?
Kinakaban ako, it's understandable Ven, she's really intimidating.
