The Beki Professor

Dobol Trobol

Vice drove his car all the way back to his house together with his co-teacher Billy. They were supposed to buy costumes para sa ihahanda sana nilang surprise party kay Vhong sa kanyang birthday sa susunod na linggo. Hindi man ganun ka close si Vice sa kanilang lahat, ay hindi rin naman niya sinasara ang kanyang pintuan sa kanyang mga katrabaho. Lalo na kay Vhong. Billy had no choice but to text his co-professors..

To: HU U Profs

Abort mission. May problema na naman si Prof Vice. Pabalik na kami diyan. Ano na plano?

"You know you can tell me everything brad." he gave him a pat on his shoulder and just looked away. Vice's eyes were focused on the road at halatang malalim na naman ang iniisip niya. Knowing him, mahirap basahin ang tumatakbo sa isip nito.

meanwhile, nakauwi na si Karylle sa bahay nila kaya naman tinext na niya si Vhong.

To: Sir Vhong

Just got home! Thank you again!:) From your kuripot student.

Her mom saw her smiling infront of her phone kaya mabilis din niya itong inusisa. "Looks like you're texting him na ah. Take it easy Ana Karylle." she looked up and just shook her head. She went upstairs sa kwarto niya para buksan ang kanyang laptop at magresearch muli ng mga kailangan niyang gawin para mapansin ng kanyang crush. "Seriously? Kapal naman ng mukha ko kung gawin ko 'to!" nabasa naman niya ang isang nakasulat sa forum na sumayaw sa harap ng crush niya dahil makakatulong ito sa pagpapaimpress.

She laughed and just went with the other options instead.

"Write him notes. Teka. I did this na pero na wrong send naman! But wait, if I do it properly baka naman matanggap na niya." she agreed with herself kaya naman mabilis din siyang naghanap ng sticky notes sa kwarto niya. Luckily, she found some. "From now on, walang araw na di siya makakatanggap from me. Except for the weekends of course!" she took her fountain pen and tinabi na ito sa table niya. She was about to text Anne but then bigla namang tumunog ang cellphone niya.

From: Sir Vhong

Ur welcome., kW p b. :-)

"Why does he type like this?" tanong niya sa sarili niya while typing down her reply. "Pero cute naman. In fairness..."

To: Sir Vhong

See you this Monday!!:)

She was about to hit the send button when a notification popped out.

From: Anne

Someone saw you at the mall kanina with Professor Vhong. Is this true?

"Oh no..." she gasped at muli na naman siyang kinabahan. "How should I explain this to her? I really don't want to hurt her feelings. I know for sure there's nothing going on between me and Prof Vhong, but this would really make her jealous. Hindi ko man lang siya sinabihan... Oh gosh. How?!" gusto man niyang magtanong sa best friend niya, pero hirap na hirap naman siya dahil si Anne lang naman ang best friend niya sa ngayon. Ayaw din naman niyang magsinungaling pa, kaya she decided to do the right thing. Tell Anne the truth.

To: Anne

Uhm. Yes. Nakasalubong ko kasi siya. We watched a movie lang naman and talked.

"I'm really sorry.. Wag ka sana magalit." sabi niya nang maisend na niya ang text niya. Ilang segundo lang ang lumipas at sumagot na ito.

From: Anne

What.
