Chapter 39

Mga ilang oras din akong naka tulog at nang magising na ako ay agad kong chenek yung oras sa phone ko at nakita kong mga 12:05 na ng tanghali. Kaya nagmadali na akong mag ayos at sinundo yung mga bakla. 

Mag-gagabi narin nang makabalik ako kila mom. I really enjoy spending my time with my friends, after namin maglunch ay naglaro naman kami ng different kinds of video games maghapon.

We are currently all sitting in our dining room, eating dinner nang magsalita si dad. 

"Kamusta na ang pakiramdam mo nak?"

"Ok naman na po daddy." I said at bumalik na sa pagkain.

"And how about spending your time with your friends?" Pahabol pa na sabi ni dad. 

Saglit naman akong napa angat ng tingin kay mom, she just nodded her head like she was asking the same question like dad. 

I smiled at them. "It was pretty good," I said, and took a bite of the food that was left on my plate. "Actually, we were planning for a sleepover, maybe soon."

I smiled widely. Damn I'm so excited for that. 

"That's great." They both said and smiled at me.

Time went so fast and I'm now here in my room, anxiously staring at my ceiling. I keep debating with myself if I should text Ms. Avi again. Ewan ko ba kung may anong kirot akong naramdaman sa puso ko for the fact na hindi manlang ito sumasagot sa mga text at chats ko. 

I let out a heavy sigh. Maybe she's busy - pero kahit na, kahit seen lang eh. But what if galit ito dahil inabala ko yung dapat na mangyari sa'min nung araw na yun? I know she's being spiteful and I hate her for that. 

Argh! I can't get her off my head. Cause my mind just keeps going back to how soft her lips are and the sounds she makes... And it is driving me insane.

My thoughts were interrupted by a faint knock. I quickly jumped off my bed as I heard my dad's voice behind my door. 

"May I come in?" I moved to the side of my door to let him in. "Ba't gising ka pa nak?" Tanong ni dad and I just shrugged before climbing back up to my bed. 

"Hindi po kasi ako makatulog." Mahinang saad ko sa kanya because the truth is... my mind was occupied by Ms. Avi. 

He slowly walked towards my bed and lay beside me. He gently pulled me and I rested my head against his arm.

"Why? is there something bothering you?" I reluctantly shook my head. Yes

"Dad, can I ask you something?" 

"What is it?" I let out a small sigh bago marahang umupo at tinignan sya. 

"Pano nyo po malalaman na in love po kayo sa isang tao?" I asked curiously.

"Well-" He began. "Some of the love symptoms that you may feel." He slightly chuckles as he said 'love symptoms'. "You can't focus on what you're doing or being distracted easily by thinking about them. You can't even eat and sleep properly, still thinking of them. Ayaw mong napapalayo o makitang may kasama silang iba, they're always on your mind etc." Paliwanag nito na agad na naghatid ng ngiti sa mga labi ko. Muli akong nahiga sa bisig nya.

"Is this all about your Professor?" He ask lowly hindi na ako nabigla pa kasi kailan ma'y hindi ko nilihim sa kanila ang kasarian ko - pero teka wala akong natatandaan na naikwento ko ito sa kanila 🤔 

I felt my cheeks flush but shyly nodded anyways. "How did you know that, dad?" Takang tanong ko rito rinig ko ang pagtawa nito. 

"Actually, your mom told me of how obsessed you are with your Professor." Pang-aasar pa nito pero dama ko ang saya nya habang sinasabi nya ito.
