Teach me how to love

"Bat di mo sinabi kanina?" I asked him when he entered our house.

Mas nauna ako sakanya umuwi pero maya maya ay dumating narin siya.

"I didn't know that was your section. Not my fault" He said and went straight to the stairs.

Wala naman akong magagawa kaya nagbihis nalang ako. Mas nauna pa siyang pumasok ng banyo kahit nauna ako umuwi.

"Labas" sabi ko at pumasok sa cr. He was still wearing his boxers so I had the courage to say that. Hindi naman siya lumabas pero naghubad na ako.

The shower glass is transparent kaya nakikita niya ako sa loob. I showered even if he looks at my body. Wala na akong pake gusto ko na matulog. Pag tapos maligo Kinuha ko yung towel at lumabas na.

Simpleng white shirt at short ang suot ko. Ito narin ang pantulog ko. Humiga ako at nag scroll sa social media.

"I'll be your teacher this semester" sabi niya.

"Ano naman" sabi ko. Alam ko naman na eh.

"You told me to tell you" seryosong saad niya

"Ok" sabi ko nalang at tumalikod sakanya.

"Mom will probably visit next week sa school" sabi niya kaya napaharap ako.

"Bakit daw?"

"She wants to visit us?" He said but it sounded like a question.

"Ahh ok" sabi ko at tinabi na yung cellphone ko.

"Wag ka na magtampo" sabi niya sakin at natawa ng konti.

"Sino ba nagtatampo? Ako? Hala 'di ako?" Sabi ko at inirapan siya.

"For the record, ako yata dapat ang kailangan magtampo. Ms. Gracia" he imitated my voice and looked at me.

"Kailan ba tayo kinasal? Diba bago palang syempre di na yon maiiba agad" pageexplain ko pero ang totoo niyan ay hindi lang ako nag declare.

"Ok single ka pala" sabi niya.

"May asawa na ako" sabi ko at hindi na siya biniro baka mainis to sakin.

"Hindi Ms. ka palang eh" tumawa siya ng mapangasar na tawa. He was being sarcastic.

"Gusto mo makita yung asawa ko?" Tanong ko at hindi siya sumagot.

I got my phone and turned on the front cam.

"Ito oh gwapo yon eh"

Binigay ko saknaya yung cellphone ko tapos natawa nung nakita niya yung sarili niya.

"Ok" sagot niya at binigay yung phone at tumalikod sakin.

"Sige single nalang ako" sabi ko at nakita ko siya na humarap sakin.

"Ms. pwedeng manligaw?" Tanong niya.

I was surprised at ni hindi ko magawang tumawa dahil kilig na kilig ako. Tangina nambibigla naman yung pagpapakilig mo!

"jokes on you I'm already your husband. Hays so lucky talaga" napairap ako sakanya. But he was right, I'm actually really lucky.

"Goodnight" sabi ko at pumikit na.

When I woke up ay tulog pa siya kaya nauna na akong naligo. I got ready and a while later he woke up. Naligo nadin siya and He was already ready. Parehas kaming madalas hindi kumakain ng breakfast kaya hindi na kami nagluluto sa umaga.

"What if dito na ako bumaba?" Tanong ko sakanya.

"Baka makita nila na bumababa ako sa kotse mo" sabi ko pa sakanya.

He looked at me "Ano naman? You're my wife" sabi niya at pumasok na kami sa parking.

"On papers" sabi ko at natawa kaso hindi siya nagsalita.

Masama ba yon? Totoo naman eh pag nalaman nila na kasal na ako ay maiisue pa tapos syempre magkakaproblema pa kami tas mastress pa yung mga magulang namin.

It's better to be safe dahil at the end of the day ay asawa ko parin naman siya.

I was dumbfounded when he left the car first as he wait for me to go out. Nilock na niya ang kotse pagbaba ko.

Sabay kaming pumunta sa elevator. Kakausapin ko sana siya pero may mga pumasok na na students so I didn't.

"Bat parang tulala ka?" Tanong sakin ni Yna.

"My immaturity saying hello again" natatawa kong sinabi sa kaibigan ko.

"Alam mo beh ok lang naman maging immature basta wag lagi. Naalala mo dati diba mas immature pa tayo pero may immaturity parin naman tayo ngayon. 'Di ko alam kung gets niyo pero ayon nga" sabi niya and I do understand her.

The door closes.

The first subject is him.

"For today you will be making an essay. For the last semester it's all about making essays. Every activity that I will give you needs to be completed so that I can sign your clearance at the end of the school year" he was confident as he say those words.

Hindi siya tumititig man lang saakin. He was just focused into teaching everything about essays. May mga tricks and other things pa siya na binibigay saamin.

"We still have twenty minutes and I want you to write an essay about..." he paused.

"What topic do you want?" Tinanong niya yung nasa harap na student.

"Dahil last time yung wedding sir bakit hindi ngayon about naman sa pagbuo ng family"

"That's quite a topic, Mr. Gelo" sabi niya at natawa nadin ang lahat.

But I was just looking at him. He was not happy as he tries to hide.

"That's our topic...pass your papers on Friday. I will not accept late submissions" he got back to his desk.

Nakaupo na parang walang pakiramdam. He was cold. He looks so cold. He was the definition of handsome but cold proffesor.

"Sir, kailangan po ba hard copy?"

"No here's my email" kumuha siya ng marker at nilagay sa board.

"Pwede po ba sa facebook nalang or instagram?" Pangungulit ng isang estudyante.

"I have all my accounts in private" sabi niya at binigkas ang email.
