Knock Again, Professor [GL• #1]

Chapter 30

Saji's POV

After hearing Sam's explanation and everything that happened before. I was overwhelmed with pain and a deep longing for the years we had lost.

It felt as if time had slipped through our fingers, leaving us both to grapple with the weight of what once we had.

Nasa labas kami ng hospital sa may parking lot, tulog na rin si kuya Zaint nung dumating kaming dalawa kaya, hindi rin kami nagtagal sa loob. I don't want to associate with her grandparents so I tell her to immediately to leave them. I'm glad that I didn't see Sam's murderer mother.

"Where are we going?!" tanong ko nung mag-iba ang daan na tinatahak namin. "Akala ko ihahatid mo na ako sa bahay?" I added.

"As I was saying, I want to make things right, kahit it's been so late na," sabi nya at maya maya pa ay huminto kami sa isang police station.

Umawang ang labi ko at nagulat nung makita ang napaka raming paparazzi sa labas ito.

When they noticed Sam's car, their cameras turned towards us.

"Sam, what's happening?" I asked, full of confusion as I looked at the multitude of cameras with their flashing lights. The sheer number of them was blinding me.

Sam got out, and I quickly followed. They bombarded us with a barrage of questions.

"Ma'am, is it true that you were the one who had your mother, the famous business tycoon, imprisoned?!" one reporter asked, his voice loud and demanding.

I was taken aback when I heard it. Numerous questions were running through my mind, but I chose to push forward despite the crowd blocking our way. I held Sam's hand tightly so she wouldn't get squeezed by the mob.

"Ma'am, how long did you keep your mother's case a secret?" another reporter shouted, thrusting a microphone towards us.

"Why did you decide to take action now? Is it related to your position in the company?" tanong muli ng isa na para bang inaakusahan si Sam.

"Is it true that you have a relationship with another woman?" a voice called out from the back.

"Is the business tycoon also involved in the mysterious disappearance of some of your investments?" Muling tanong ng isa.

"Is your mother responsible for the accident that happened to your eldest sibling?"

"No comment, sorry," Sam gently said, trying to walk through the relentless crowd.

"Ma'am, is your engagement to the future CEO of Sartoni Apparel CLC line, Sir Patricio Sartoni, just a cover-up to distract from these scandals?" tanong muli ng isa pa.

Sa mga tanong nila ay mas lalo lang akong naguluhan sa nangyayari.

"No comment," Sam repeated, shielding her face using her palm from the cameras.

The questions were relentless, and the flashing cameras were dizzying me.

A few police officers finally approached us and helped us move away from the bunch of paparazzi.

"Thank you po." sabi ko nung makapasok kami sa loob.

Nakasunod ang mga paparazzi pero hindi na kami ginigitgit dahil may barrier nang mga police na humaharang sa kanila.

Lumapit si Sam sa isang desk chief. "Saan po si Miss Sarina Pendleton?" malumanay na tanong nya rito.

Ngayon ay naiintindihan ko na, nasa kulungan kami ng kaniyang Ina nya.
