It was another day, and here I am. Feeling so awkward seeing Ally teaching us in front. S'ya ulit ang teacher namin. Hindi pa raw makakabalik ang dating teacher namin as of now.
Kaya tuwang-tuwa naman ang mga kaklase namin. Mas gusto nila si Ally kesa sa dating teacher namin. Ayaw nila rito dahil sa tuwing papasok ito sa room ay nanenermon muna di gaya kay Ally.
"Okay so, class. Get a one whole sheet of paper, copy and answer." Aniya. I blinked when I realize that I was looking at him for almost a minute.
Naiilang ako sakanya. I still can't forget what he have done last day. When I was done answering ay napatingin ako sakanya. I can sense that someone was looking at me and I bet it was him.... and I wasn't wrong though.
He was looking at me with a little smile forming at his lips and with admiration in his eyes.
Ano nanaman bang pinapahiwatig nya?
"Done?" Tanong nya.
"Hindi pa po, sirrr."
"Wait a minute pooo"
Sagot naman ng mga kaklase namin. He looked away from me that made me look away too.
I can feel my heart racing. Titig palang nya 'yun.
"Okay, 5 minutes left." Aniya.

Nandito ako ngayon sa may parking lot at ina-antay si Kuya Reisee. I was roaming around while waiting when I felt an arm on my waist. I was about to face him ng higpitan nya ang hawak sa bewang ko at ramdam ko ang paglapit ng mukha nya sa tenga ko.
"Let's go home, baby." A baritone voice greeted my ears. Just hearing his voice makes me shiver.
"A-ally?" Ani ko ng bumitaw s'ya sa pagyakap sa bewang ko at pinaharap ako sakanya. Napatingin tuloy ako sa paligid at medyo lumayo rin ako sakanya.
He smile widely at me. "Let's go home, but before that someone wants to talk to you first." aniya ng naka ngiti.
"S-sino?" Takang tanong ko. Ba't ako? I mean wala naman akong ginawa ah...
"Ms. Lionheart." Napa-angat ako ng tingin ng marinig ang boses ni Ma'am Hail.
"Ma'am Hail..." aniko. Napatingin ako sa Isang kamay nya na hawak-hawak ang tyan nya. Pero, Nagulat ako ng hawakan nya ang kamay ko.
Naka ngiti s'ya sa'kin. "I'm sorry, kyrie." Aniya.
I couldn't talk, it's the first time that she calls me by my name. I bit my lower lip. I don't know what to feel.
"W-why po?" I asked. Why sorry? I don't remember her doing anything bad towards me.
"I'll tell you the truth, ky." Aniya at kinatitigan ako.
"I'm pregnant, yes. But, Ally is not the father of my child." aniya. I got froze. What?
I blinked when her words sinks in my mind. "W-what do you mean?-" I asked, confused.
How? I mean.... It was shocking.
"I got impregnate by someone else, it's not ally. For now, I can't explain it to you. But, I hope you understand me, I'm sorry." aniya at niyakap ako. I didn't move. Bakit?
"Go to, Ally. He loves you so much. Take care of him, ky." Aniya at ngumiti. Umalis na s'ya at ako naman ay naiwang tulala.
D-did I hear it right?
Napa-tingin ako kay Ally na naka-sandal sa kotse nya. Nag-hihintay. Nang mag angat s'ya ng tingin ay nagka-tagpo ang aming mga mata. Ngumiti s'ya ng malawak bago lumapit sa'kin. He kissed my forehead before getting my things.
"Let's go home?" Aniya ng naka-ngiti. I bit my lower lip.
"S-si Ma'am Hail?" Tanong ko.
"She can handle herself, she brings her car and she knows how to drive." Aniya at naunang mag lakad papunta sa kotse.
"I missed being here." Aniya ng makapasok kami sa bahay nya.
"But I miss you more, baby." aniya. I bit my lower lip. Inilapag nya ang mga gamit ko sa table at lumapit sa'kin.
"Can I hug you?" aniya. Di ako sumagot. He sighed and pulled me into a hug. Isiniksik nya ang ulo sa leeg ko. I can feel him breathing so hard. His hug became tight.
"I miss you so much, I miss your smell, your smile, your voice, your angelic face. I miss everything about you,baby." aniya sa mahinang boses.
"Now that you're already 18, I guess I can marry you already? Kidding." aniya. Does he mean...
Bumitaw s'ya sa yakap at naka-ngiti akong tinitigan, he's looking at me as if he was scanning my whole face.
"I remember what you told me, baby." aniya at naka-kagat labi pa. Parang pini-pigilan nya ngumiti.
"A-alin?" I asked.
"That you love me." aniya.
"But, before we talk about that let's change first. You're still wearing your uniform." aniya. Tumango naman ako at nauna ng umakyat sa taas. Agad kong isinara ang pinto at sumandal doon.
I place my hand near where my heart, I can feel my heartbeat racing. Only Ally can made my heart feel this way.
Hindi ko alam kung paninindigan ko ba ang sinabi ko sakanya na mahal ko sya. Totoo naman yun, I was just.... Scared.
"Let's eat, baby. I cooked your favorite adobo." aniya ng maka-baba ako. Tumango naman ako at umupo na.
We started eating. Tahimik lang kami hanggang sa basagin nya ang katahimikan.
"What will you take in college?" He asked.
"You're going to graduate, there's just a month left. So, I wonder what you would get in college." dagdag pa nya.
Napa-isip ako. I wanted to take Educ, it was my dream to be a teacher. Well, like him.
"Educ. I want to take Educ." Sagot ko naman. Tumango lang s'ya at nginitian ako.
Ngayon ko lang napansin, napapadalas at ang pag ngiti nya ngayon. Lalo na kapag kausap nya ako. Is he really that happy?
"So," he cleared his throat. We've just finished eating.
I looked at him. He looked at me deeply in my eyes. He smiled. "Do you love me, baby?" tanong nya na nakapag-patigil sa'kin. I bit my lower lip at dahan-dahang tumango.
He licked his lower lip. "Really?" aniya. Tumango ulit ako.
"Then," he trailed off. "Tell me. Tell me that you love me." aniya.
I was scared but my hurt still choose to tell me to tell it to him. It's my chance, no things apart, no things between us. It's just... Us. After of all the things he made for me, he deserves to know it.
I smiled at him before reaching his hands. "I Love You, Ally." I said with all sincerity and honesty.
He bit his lower lip, trying not to smile.
"I've never been this happy into my life, baby." He whispered.
