I'm yours, Professor (Quadro Series #2)

Chapter 18

She's currently somewhere around a resort just walking. She wanted to isolate herself, hindi niya alam kung ano ba dapat maramdaman niya sa oras na iyon. Lahat ng bagay ay pumapasok sa isip niya. She even lost her phone. Ilang oras lang siya nag drive hanggang sa natagpuan niya sarili sa kung saan man siya ngayon. She's inside a beach. The place is a paradise.

Paradise with tall walls. Pinapalibutan kasi iyon ng mataas na bakod. The inside is filled with different kind of stalls. Madami din cottages, nagkakalakat lang. Parang may carnival doon, malinis din ang paligid at puno ng mga ilaw at mga yacht, also may mga playground at iilang rides doon. The place si simply magnificent. She wonder kung bakit hindi niya alam tungkol dito.

It's like a small little world full of colors, pero ang una talaga ng atensyon niya ay ang isang malaking restaurant na parang may kalayuan sa entrance ng resort. The restaurant was big, kahit malayo nakita niya ang pangalan noon. It's Maroon Restaurant. The place has a decent amount of people.

Iyon ang mga lugar na gusto niya kung gusto niya mapag-isa. What happen a while ago was tense. Pakiramdam niya bumibilis pa rin tibok ng puso niya. Sa totoo lang hindi niya na din alam kung ano mangyayari sakanila ni Kate ngayon. Kaya siya umalis kasi gusto niyang mag- isip. Pag-isipan ang gagawin niya ngayon. Lalo na nawala ang isang kaibigan niya. It's sad, ang sakit.

She was soaking her feet in the beach and was about to walk away when she hear someone call he. Her forehead crease seeing a girl waving at her jogging toward her. Medyo malayo kasi ito sakaniya at nagsisimula na ding dumilim, nang makalapit na ito ay agad naman nanlaki ang mata niya ng makilala kung sino iyon. "Quinn?!"

Quinn smiled before excitedly rush to hug her while squealing. "Attina! Oh my god! It's been so long how are you?"

She smile, parang gumaan pakiramdam niya ng niyakap siya ng kaibigan niya. It's been years. "Just taking a break." She stated before letting Quinn go, both of them are friends since high school. Quinn was the only girl who stay with her even though she's a part of a special class. Person with disabilities and such. She had Amaurosis fugax or fleeting blindness and somehow she recovered.

Quinn hum. "Taking a break?" She look at her with a knowing look. She just smile before looking around. She heard Quinn sigh gently before holding her hand. "You know, my husband restaurant is near here. Punta tayo doon at tamang -tama nandoon ang mga anak ko."

Quinn was smiling brightly as she spoke, lalo ng ng sinabi nito tungkol sa anak at asawa nito. She never saw her mom look so happy while taking about them, especially her. A familiar sadness coat her but she immediately discard the feeling, agad siyang ngumite kay Quinn bago tumango. "Of course, gusto ko din makilala ang mga inaanak ko."

Quinn chuckle. "Dami mo nang utang. Maraming birthday na dumaan ninang." Pabirong saad nito habang iginagaya siya sa direksyon ng Maroon Restaurant at doon niya naalala kung sino ang asawa ng kaibigan niya, akmang magtatanong siya ng magsalita si Quinn. "Before anything else. I would like to ask you a small favor, kung okay lang sayo?"

Agad naman siya tumango. "Oo naman. Ano ba yon?"

Quinn smiled. "Can you please be mindful with your tone and action around my husband? Like don't touch him suddenly or raise your voice around him." Her forehead crease, mukhang napansin ni Quinn ang pagtataka niya. It's not a common thing you hear. "It's not like I'm territorial. It's just my husband has problems with girls, he's recovering slowly and doing good but you know. I just hate triggering him."
