I Like You, Teacher

Aira's POV

"So Ayie, kayo na ba?" Kuya Elmo asked me. We're currently having a dinner at a restaurant. Complete ang family namin and also, we're with Pancho.
"You shouldn't ask Ayie that, dapat ang lalake ang sasagot nyan" Dad chuckled.
"Okay then. Pancho, are you and my sister in a relationship already?" He asked Pancho.

Tumingin naman sakin si Pancho with a smile.

"Not yet but I'm hoping very soon" He answered. Dad leaned back.
"Di naman po ako nagmamadali eh. I'm willing to wait kahit matagal. She's still not ready and I respect that. I'll wait hanggat sa ready na ulit sya mag mahal" He looked at me. I just smiled.

Nagpalakpakan naman sila Kuya kaya napatawa naman kami.

"This guy is something" Kuya Tim said.
"Basta ako, ang gusto ko lang naman mamahalin at aalagaan ang anak namin. Wala akong ibang hinihiling kung hindi yun lang" Mom suddenly spoke.
"Yes po Tita, I'll take good care of her like what I'm doing now. You can count on me" Gab also said that. Naalala ko na naman sya. We already have our own lives kaya I should stop thinking of him na.

Pancho has been courting me for a few months now. Sinabi ko naman sakanya na hindi pa ako ready na mag entertain ngayon pero he told me that maghihintay sya. He just asked for a favor. He asked me to allow him to be around me. Habang nag aantay daw sya, gusto nya nasa tabi ko lang sya.

He wants to show me the things that he's willing to do for me. I allowed him naman pero I told him na I can't promise him anything. Di ko masisigurado na I can return the love that he's giving me. He's aware of that.

We're now in front of my house. Hinatid ako ni Pancho since tapos na dinner namin.

"So, when will I see my sunshine again?" I chuckled.
"Can you stop that?" He also chuckled.
"Why? You are my sunshine. My only sunshine" He sang those last words. Ganito sya eh. He look so cool on the outside pero pag kasama nya ako, he can be like this. I may not feel something for him yet, but I really appreciate it when he makes me laugh.

"You're busy na din, diba? You have a project on Ilocos" He's an architect. I don't have a thing for architects ha, nagkataon lang.
"Oh yeah, oo nga pala. I'll be gone for a few weeks. Don't miss me too much. Dadalhan na lang kita ng mga pasalubong" Tumawa naman ako.
"Yeah yeah, I won't miss you" Biniro ko naman sya.

Hiniwakan nya naman dibdib nya, parang pinaparating nya na he's hurt. Natawa na lang ako.

"Maybe a little bit then?" He smiled.
"My day's complete. Nakasama kita tapos ngayon, you said you'll miss me" He smiled. Gosh.
"Saya mo naman masyado Mr. Architect" He nodded.

I patted his shoulder.

"You should go now. Papasok na din ako" I said then suddenly hinawakan nya yung kamay kong pinapat yung shoulder nya.
"But really, you always complete my day. My life. I hope one day, you'll allow me to complete your day also. I hope you'll allow me to love you, to enter your life" He caressed my hand.

"Pancho, I told you already. I'm not yet ready" He nodded.
"I know. I'm just you know, reminding you na andito ako. I won't get tired" He replied.
"Why are you still waiting when there's no certainty about us?" I asked him. I looked him in the eye.
"Because I like you. That's how much I like you. Kahit walang kasiguraduhan, I'm willing to risk it all" He smiled. He's smiling pero his eyes tells me otherwise.

I appreciate everything he do for me pero I'm afraid na baka in the end, masaktan ko lang sya. Hindi ko alam kung I'll let him enter my life. I'm not sure kung in the end, mamahalin ko ba sya. He's such a great man kaya ayaw kong masaktan sya.
