I'm courting my geek Professor [PUBLISHED BY VIVA PSICOM]

Chapter XLVIII (She resembles me.)

Feels like we’re playing hide and seek

Cause I’m still searching for you, Mr. Geek.

I couldn’t find you by my side anymore

Guess you already walked out of the door.

 

So I shut my eyes as I walk under the rain

Hoping every drop will wash away the pain.

Yet all I can see is the image of you

Whispering to me the words “I love you too.”

 

With those words in endless replay,

Seems like everything fix is starting to sway.

And with this heart of mine that is in vain

I won’t be surprise that I’d end up insane.

 

Xavier, is this really we’ll ever be?

Then, come and return my heart’s key

Cause from this circumstance, I wanna be free

And be able to smile ‘til the next time we see.

 

PS.

It will always be you, I’m gonna miss

And it will only be you, I’m gonna share a kiss with.

I promise you.

 

Will you promise the same?

 

 

SOMEBODY’s POV

 

“Xavier? Si Arellaño?” Mahinang tanong ko habang hinahawi ang buhok nyang nakaharang sa mukha nya.

Itinupi ko at inilagay sa drawer ang basang papel na naglalaman ng tula nya para sa kung sino mang Xavier na yan. It seems like may pinagdadaanan sila sa buhay pag-ibig nila kung pagbabasehan ang gawa nyang tula. I could feel its pain kasabay pa ng sulat-kamay nya na halatang not in the mood to write. Nahahalata ko kasi sa penmanship nya na parang nang isulat nya ‘yon, nanghihina ang kamay nya. Andami kasing unnecessary markings na kahit sino di sasadyaing gawin ang mga iyon.

Pinatuyo ko ang buhok nya gamit ang tuwalya. Pinapalitan ko na din sya ng damit sa mga babae kong kasambahay. Basang-basa kasi sya kanina sa malakas na ulan ng muntikan syang masagasaan ng driver ko.

Dahil nakatingin ako sa labas, nakita ko syang galing pa sa isang hotel. By her looks, para syang wala sa sarili nya… or shall I say, depress?

Buti at nakapag-break agad si Aris nang tumawid sya. Then and there, she collapsed. Buti nalang at nasalo sya nang isa sa mga bodyguards ko.

“Xavier…” Napabuntong hininga ako nang marinig ulit ‘yon. He keeps on calling that guy’s name. Ang kilala ko lang naman na Xavier ay si Mr. Arellaño na nakasagutan din nya noong nakaraan.
