CHAPTER 32: INFIDELITY

🌸Red Ashthea Point of View🌸 

It appears that counting the days since I reunited with Niko is easier than counting the days since my vacation to Ilocos Norte. After that night, we stayed on the private island for three more days, and Niko became increasingly conscious of me as if I had become the most vulnerable person in the world.

We've already returned to Manila. He constantly begged me to move in with him, but I refused because the school and my office work are closer to my condominium than his. I promised to meet whenever our schedules allowed, he can even stay here if he wishes.

Niko is driving me to school right now. I still need to return to school, submit several papers, and decide which subject I will teach next semester. The semester will resume on January 3rd.

Nang makapark kami ay maraming student parin ang nasa campus vacinity, clearance day pa kasi hanggang friday, monday palang ngayon. Ang patakaran kasi, lahat tapos na ang clearance pagdating ng December 22.

Ako na mismo ang nagbukas ng pintuan saka lumabas, lumabas na rin si Niko karga ang gamit ko. Nagmukha tuloy siyang alalay kaysa jowa.

"I can carry my things babe" I said at pilit na kinukuha ang gamit ko, nilalayo naman niya agad iyon o kaya ay itinataas lang ang kamay, ang hirap pag matangkad ang kasintahan, talo ka kapag agawan.

"Let me do this please babe?" He said while still trying to take my things away from my reach. Inirapan ko siya at kinurot sa abs. Gusto niyang inaalila siya eh.

Habang naglalakad kami sa hallway ay madaming students ang nakatingin sa amin. So far, wala pa akong nakikita na istudyante na under sa akin. Binilisan ko nalang ang paglalakad, habang si Niko ay nakikipagngitiian sa lahat ng student.

"Babe, I've never been here pero masasabi kong mas mabait ang students dito compared sa former college school namin ni Paxton" sabi niya habang sinasabayan ako sa paglalakad, nakangiti at puno ng enerhiya, I can't cope up with his energy sometimes.

"Not all of them are friendly so stay cautious, may mga students na matutulis ang dila" Warning ko sa kanya, may mga studyante kasi dito na ginagawang big deal kahit mahinang pagbunggo lang sa kanila, based from experience.

"In comparison to people from Germany and New York, I can say that student problems, in general, seem much milder here." tugon niya habang kinukulit parin ako.

Nasa first floor kami ngayon, tinanaw ko ang upper floors kung marami pa bang students, Then I noticed August with Coleen. She didn't appear to notice me at all. Good thing, kaya tinignan ko muna silang dalawa.

Tumigil sa paglalakad si August pati si Coleen then suddenly nagsalita si August, pagkatapos ng kung ano mang sinabi niya ay muli siyang nagpalakad palayo at mag-isa, she left Coleen with a devastated look.

Nag iwas ako ng tingin sa direction ni August, inayos ang damit at hinarap si Niko.

"What time will you be at my condo?" Walang gana kong tanong. He immediately smiled and pinched my cheeks. Kinakabahan ako baka makita kami ni August.

"Around 6 P.M" sagot niya, tumango ako agad saka pinihit ang doorknob ng office door. 

Pagbukas ko ay agad kong nakita si Kate. Nagulat siya at biglang tumayo agad, papalapit sana sakin pero agad napatigil ng maaninag ang body frame ni Niko, pumait ang expression niya.
