"How is Professor Villanueva, Ma'am?" I asked Professor Villanueva's friend, siya kasi ang kumausap sa nurse dito.

We are at the clinic because the professor passed out in the hallway. I carried her here because no one tried to carry her earlier.

"Kulang sa pahinga at walang maayos na kain, Ms. Gonzaga." sabi niya.

Ngumiti ako sa kaniya at tiningnan ang propesorang nakahiga ngayon. Mahimbing itong natutulog.

"Go back to your class. I will take care of her. Thanks for your help earlier."

"Wala ’yon, Ma'am. Alis na po ako."

Yana immediately questioned me about what happened but I was speechless when our next professor entered.

After class I went with Yana to buy healthy foods. Nalilito pa siya sa mga pinagbibili ko pero hindi naman siya nagtanong.

"So what happened?"

"Nawalan lang ng malay kanina dahil kulang sa pahinga." sabi ko ng makaupo na kami.

I'll go to clinic later to see if  she's still there. I want to see her eat, ayaw kong mangyari ang nangyari sa kaniya kanina.

Hindi ko nga rin maintindihan ang sarili ko kung bakit ganito ako mag alala sa kaniya. Iba na talaga ang napapansin ko sa sarili ko. Dati lang naman attracted ako sa kaniya, pero ngayon, lumalim na ata.

The hell, Sam.

"Hindi ko na nakikita ang cousin mo in the tourism department anymore."

I looked at Yana when she said that. Even me, I don't see her anymore and she doesn't text or call me anymore.

"I'll go to them later."

Tumango siya at nagpatuloy na sa pagkain. After that, nagtungo na ako sa clinic dala ang pagkaing binili ko, pero ang nadatnan ko lang ay ang nurse.

Maybe, she's in her office.

Dumiretso ako sa office niya at hindi ako nagkamali nang makita itong nagtitipa sa kaniyang laptop ni hindi niya napansin ang pagpasok ko.

I coughed to get her attention and she looked up. I smiled widely at her but she just stared at her laptop again.

"What are you holding?" she asked but her eyes were on the laptop

"Food for you. Eat first before continuing what you're doing."

"I'm busy. Ilagay mo nalang diyan, thank you."

I shook my head and put the food on her table. She just looked at me. I took her laptop and put it on the sofa. She did nothing and just stared at me evilly.

"You passed out a while ago because you weren't eating properly so you should eat first before continue what you're doing."

"I'm your professor, Ms. Gonzaga."

"I don't care. Just eat, Professor."

I smirked when she started eating. Naupo lang ako sa sofa at tinitigan itong kumain.

"Don't stare at me, I will kill you."

"Kill me then, kill me with your love."

She just shook her head and continue eating. Wala rin naman palang nagagawa ang professor sa akin. Akala ko ay pahirapan pa itong pakainin mabuti nalang at hindi.

After she ate, inayos niya ang pinagkainan niya and walk near me. 

She took the laptop from the sofa and glared at me. I stood up and just smiled at her.
