Sleeping with My Professor

Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanila at hindi makapaniwala na magkasama silang lumabas sa isang cubicle at sa girl restroom pa.

Lumapit sakin si Nicy. "Just pretend that you didn't see anything, bye, let's talk later" she said before leaving with Jacob.

Agad akong napailing saka natawa sa sinabi nya. Mukhang nagkaayos na sila. May label na siguro sila. Pagpasok ko ng office ni Kai agad syang tumayo sa upuan nya saka lumapit sa akin. He gave me a tight hug and a kiss on the top of my head. It's as if I've been gone for so long beside him. He still held me in his arms as if he didn't want to let me go. I looked at him and saw in his eyes that he seemed to have something he wanted to tell me. 

"Do you have a problem?" I asked him. He led me to his seat and made me sit on his lap, wrapping his arms around me. 

Hindi ako sanay na tahimik sya, may nangyari kaya kanina habang umalis ako saglit? May kausap kasi sya kanina bago ako magpunta ng restroom. Huminga sya ng malalim saka iniharap ako sa kanya. Hinihintay na magsalita sya. 

"Ms. Domingo came here earlier because we have an important matter to attend to in Canada regarding the business that Dad plans to establish there. Ms. Domingo also mentioned that my presence there is necessary. I've already talked to Mom and Dad because they're in Canada." He explained to me. Aalis pala sya. 

"But the decision to go or not is still up to me, maybe I won't go for now because you won't be with me--" 

"You should go" I interrupted him. I looked at him. "You should go because you're needed there. I can manage on my own, Nicy is here anyway, and my baby bump isn't that big yet" I said, holding my stomach. My baby bump wasn't noticeable yet since I was only two months pregnant. Malulungkot ako Oo hindi ko naman pwedeng itangi yon dahil hindi ko sya makikita. Gusto ko kasi sya ang paglihian ko. Ang gwapo nya kasi. 

Hinawakan nya ang dalawang kamay ko saka dinampian ng halik ang likod ng palad ko. "It's tough" he whispered, facing my hands. I looked at him and immediately smiled, reassuring him that I would be okay.

"How many days will you be in Canada?" I asked him. Baka naman saglit lang yon. 2 days? o kaya 1 week? Mabilis lang naman lumipas ang araw. 

"1 month, love" he said. My mouth dropped open at his response. He would be there for a month. I thought it would only be a week. I looked at him and slowly nodded. 

Mabilis lang ang araw, kaya ko naman maghintay. Baka nga hindi ko namalayan nandito na ulit sya sa tabi ko diba? kaya ayos lang sakin. 

Sa araw ng sabado sya aalis. Meron pa akong 3 days para makasama sya. Lulubusin ko na. Niyaya ko sya manood ng cinema. Tumambay sa sea side at pinapanood ang sunset. Kumain ng ice cream. Sumakay ng ferris wheel kahit na natatakot ako. Hindi ko pinakita na malulungkot ako dahil alam kong hindi sya tutuloy. Kailangan sya ron dahil sya ang magmamana ng B&A. 

Mas lalo akong nalungkot ng hindi sya pumayag na ihatid sya sa airport baka raw kasi mapagod ako at makasama daw sa babay namin. Pero hindi ko yon pinakita sa kanya. Nakatanaw lang ako sa sasakyan nyang paalis ng bahay ko habang kumakaway ako. 

That's when I couldn't help but cry when he left; I couldn't hide my emotions anymore. I would miss him terribly even though it was just for one month. Hindi biro ang 1 month matagal kaya yon! Even three days without seeing him, I miss him so much.

Napapunas ako ng luha ko ng makarinig ng doorbell sa labas. Nakita ko ron si Nicy na kumakaway sa akin. "Sasamahan muna kita hanggang hindi pa umuuwi si kuya. Naka leave rin ako ng 1 month" sabi nya sa akin.
