"You will be conducting a practical research for this semester. I will create five groups and each group shall contain six members. The deadline of the research paper will be before the final examination and the defense will be after the examination. That's all, good bye class." Our prof said and left the room.
The room was once again filled with questions kung sino ang ka group nila and what would be their topics. Habang kaming tatlo, nakatunganga and waiting for someone to pick us up.
"Ano na? Wala talagang may gusto sa atin? Hindi naman tayo pabuhat ah." Kianna said that made me laugh.
"Kaya nga. Hoy! Walang pipili sa amin?! Kami na bahala sa pancit canton at ganda!" Sigaw ni Norielle that earned a laughter from the whole class.
"Mama mo ganda. Edi wala ka ng nai-ambag kung yun ang ambag mo." Tristan said, Jamuel's bestfriend and teammate.
"Talaga ba? Eh ikaw, anong ambag mo?"
"Tanungin mo nga muna kung may ka grupo na kaming tatlo." Sabi ni Tristan.
"Magnificento!" Biglang sigaw ni Kianna na ikina gulat naming tatlo.
"Wala pa kayong ka group Tristan? Sakto, tatlo kayo, tatlo kami. Tayo nalang." Sabi ni Joreen.
It was indeed a good idea, but not for me and Jamuel. Baka sama ng loob at sagutan lang mai-ambag naming dalawa.
"Tayo nalang? Luh, may jowa kana Kians." Sabi ni Tristan kaya binato siya ni Joreen ng notebook.
"Gago. Tayo nalang magkaka-group. Walang may gustong pumili sa amin eh." Kianna said and Jamuel's friend agreed on it.
Kristoffer created a gc and doon nalang daw namin pag-usapan kung ano ang topic naming anim since they still have to attend their training.
Jamuel's part of the school's varsity team. He has the height and body of a basketball player and his dad is also a former basketball player.
"Tara, nood tayo ng training nila." Norielle said.
"Asus, gusto mo lang mapanood si kwan eh. Pero g! Let's go!" Kianna said at hinila na kaming dalawa ni Norielle.
I was very hesitant to join them at first but I was left with no choice. It's been a week since nagkasagutan kami ni Jamuel. I've been messaging him for almost a week now too. He's really persistent on ignoring me.

Hi Jamuel. I'm really sorry sa nangyari kanina. I know that was such a wrong move. How can I make bawi sa'yo?

"Hindi yata kayo nagpapansinan ni Jamuel ngayon? Anyare? Galit parin?" Norielle asked me and I just nodded at her.
"Ewan ko, ayaw niya yata talaga sa presence ko." Sabi ko and smiled sadly at them.
"Aba gago" Kianna said out of nowhere that made me laugh.
"Your words, Kians!"
My eyes are locked at him while playing basketball. He look good on his jersey. His curly hair suits him very well and his cute lips is making me smile.
He's so tall, and handsome as hell.
How I wish he can also notice kung gaano siya kahalaga sa akin. Should I be mad at him for being so selfish after I confessed? Or he has the right to be mad at me dahil maling mali talaga na mahulog ako sa dapat kaibigan lang talaga.
I guess it was all my fault.
I'm taking all the blame, but do I really deserve all the pain that I'm going through right now because of a confession? I guess so. Hindi na magbabago 'yon.
Bumalik ako sa realidad when my phone beeped. I opened and I saw Dad's message that he's infront of the school's gymnasium and he's going to fetch me.
"Guys, I have to go now. Dad's here, uwi na raw ako. Hindi kayo sasabay?" I told my friends and they said manonood muna sila. Lumabas na ako ng gymnasium and saw my Dad's car na naka parking and he's outside his car.
My Dad's handsome. Sabi nila, the reason why me and my sister are beautiful was because my Dad's genes. He's tall and handsome. He's already around mid 50's yet he still looks like he's around 20.
Gugulatin ko sana siya pero I can see that he's talking to someone on his phone and he's smiling so genuinely. Is he talking to my mom? Hay, how I wish Jamuel would also smile at me like that whenever he's talking to me.
"Yes Meredyth, pupunta ako ng Bulacan bukas and will fetch you. I already fixed your condo, doon muna kayo magi-stay for the mean time. Okay?" I heard him say that made me shock.
Meredyth? Who the heck is that? Maybe his relative? But he could've mentioned it to us na, or we could've met them already.
"I know. I'll just fetch my daughter and we'll talk later. Yeah, I can't wait for her to meet Ynabel and Ysobel. I'm sure they will get along very well." Dad said that made me even more confuse.
"Tell Sofia that I miss her, Dyth." He said kaya mas lalo akong nagtaka.
Who's Meredyth? Who's Sofia? And why does my Dad miss them? Who are they?
"Dad." I said and he immediately looked at me and smiled. He smiled at me and hugged me too.
"Get inside now princess, Mom's preparing a good dinner right now." He said and I just smiled at him.
While inside the car, I was very hesitant if I should ask him about that Merydyth and Sofia. I wanna know if they have a big role in our life, specially in his life.
A lot of what ifs are going through my mind. What if they are my Dad's other family? No, it can't be. Si Mommy lang ang natatanging asawa ni Daddy. Did he have an affair behind my Mom's back?
"Are you okay, Bel? Anything bothering you?" Dad worriedly asked me. I looked at him and bumuntong hininga.
"I'm alright daddy, school works lang." I said and he nodded.
"Dad.."
"Yes sweetie?"
Should I ask him? Pero baka pag sinabi ko, magagalit siya since I eavesdropped from his conversation with that woman.
"I love you." I said and smiled at him
"What's with the suddenly I love you 'nak? Anyways, I love you more than everything." He said and I just smiled at him.
I just hope that my Dad won't be like the other guy's out there. He's my last ace. And if he also disappoints me, baka masiraan ako ng bait.
Hindi ko na siguro kakayanin kapag mismong tatay ko na ang manakit sa akin. I had enough with Jamuel's, I hope my Dad won't hurt me. Won't hurt us.
