IF THIS ISN'T LOVE CHAPTER 02
And as the nights and days come, the normal days of us ignoring each other and not talking to each other began. Since what happened. I hit his core, I know that. Ngayon nanalangin ako na sana ay hindi ito malaman ng mag asawang Lopez, ayoko na ito ang maging dahilan ng pagkawala ng trabaho ng mga magulang ko na alam kong matagal na naming ikinabubuhay.
My parents has a great relationship with his parents kaya ayokong sirain.
As I entered my first class, my pulse quickened with anticipation. This was the moment I had been waiting for, since then I was excited for a college. The first step on a journey that promised both challenge and reward. With determination blazing in my eyes, I took a seat, ready to prove that my background did not define me, but rather fueled me drive to succeed against all this odds someday.
Pumasok na ang prof pagkatapos ng ilang minuto. I'm originally from Ilocos Norte that just moved into Manila. Even though I didn't want to leave that province so bad. We did it for my dad. I guess he wanted a new life here in Manila. I saw how my parents work so hard when we were in Ilocos. Our grandparents already work on Lopez's family dito sa Manila. And now my father following my grandparents footsteps.
But my dad is not contented on our life so he's seeking for a big opportunity cause who wouldn't? Noong dalawang taon palang ako, my dad decided to accept the Lopez's offer. For their family and love ones, kung ako nga sila gagawin ko rin iyon. This is not just a big sacrifice for my Mom but for me too. Pero dahil nga parang hindi rin ako lumaki sa Ilocos, tinanggap ko dahil dito narin ako nasanay.
May isa pang upuan na okupado at wala pang nakaupo.
"Tristan Knight Lopez." What? He takes this class too? The Prof called but no one answered. Sobrang tahimik ng tawagin ang pangalang iyon na para bang may dumaang anghel.
"Mr. Tristan Knight Lopez? Wala pa?" This time she asked the whole class."He will be late ma'am."
A man in her white skin, a well built body with a pretty face answered. Napatingin ako, and he also turn his eyes to look at me and smiled. Riel. I gave him a small smile in the end. Ngayon lang ako nag sign up sa klase na ito kaya hindi ko alam na tine take din pala ito ni Riel and Knight?
The prof asked me to introduce myself since bagong mukha daw ako. When it was already my turn to introduce myself. A man in her black compression shirt paired with a loose pants and a high black Balenciaga boots scream as he entered the room. All attention was shifted onto him as he confidently walk to his seat. Ang bag niya ang nasa isang balikat lang with his jacket. Ilang babae sa buong classroom ang nagbulungan at nagsimulang magliwanag ang mga mukha. His scent embraces my nostrils. Wow. All I could say in my head. But Damn him.
He is tall, lean,about six footer above but more masculine and his built, all I can say is he maintain his body with those broad chest, muscles in their right places. He is definitely a woman's type to he exact. His almond brown eyes was hit by the sunlight coming from the window as he sats. Even when sitting, still so masculine. Isinandal niya ang likod sa upuan pagkatapos isabit ang bag niya at ang jacket. His nose were so pointed, his lips. Damn, he has those kissable red lips I've ever seen in my entire life. Oo siya lang talaga. And I hate how good he looks that I come into the fact that I am complementing him like it's my first time seeing him.
I admit, no one in my class back then was this fine. His hair was brushed up, kaunting buhok ang nalalaglag sa mukha. He has this bad boy aura and look with his thick but clean eyebrows and long eyelashes that women would be insecure about him. Or love about him. Obviously, I can tell from this girls with us inside the room.
