Our Fated Encounter [Completed]

Chapter 4

"Why is there a problem with that?"  she asked

Out of all the students in this university, who would have thought that the student I'll be wasting my time with for the next few months would have to be him? The past encounters we had were enough for me to say that I'm not a fan of this idea. I'm not saying that he's a bad person or whatsoever but his presence itself just gets on my nerves.

Out of all the possible students here in AU, it had to be Alvarez himself. But why does it have to be him? I remember telling him earlier that I didn't even want to spend another second with him but here we go and I receive an unexpected 'not so much of a blessing' after knowing it's him.

"Miss Gonzales, are you okay?", she asks me again 

This situation is making me overthink too much, which is bad for me and it seems like this person is actually enjoying it. I don't want to ignore such an opportunity that's knocking on my door and most importantly, it's in my favor. Sayang naman kung tatanggihan ko 'to just because I'm annoyed with him, ang babaw ko naman kung ganun.

"Yes, I'm fine po."

"Are you sure?" paninigurado niya pa kaya tumango nalang ako. I didn't want to tell hermy reasons when it seems to petty to even listen to.

"Okay. So, are you willing to accept this offer?" she asked me

What should I say? What should my decision be?

I was busy with my thoughts as to what my response should be but in the corner of my eye, I can see him smirking at parang nagpipigil pa ng tawa niya, saya niya ah.

I needed to focus. Is it a yes or a no?

After moments of thinking I finally agreed to it, as if I would let that big of an opportunity slip through my fingers just because of him. I'm just hoping that I wouldn't regret this decision of mine.

"Ok, so I guess you can start later."

"Later?!" we both shouted in chorus once again.

"Gusto niyo bang ma bingi ako?" naiirita niyang tanong

"Sorry po."

"How long should it take po pala? And up to what time po ba?"

Sana hindi matagal!

Magdadasal talaga ako na sana matapos kaagad.

Yan lang naman po ang hinihiling ko sa ngayon, sana po pagbigyan niyo ako.

I didn't want to spend much time with this guy right here because if I do, I think I'll lose my sanity due to his overconfidence and he just assumes too much. But I really don't have a choice dahil ilang buwan ko rin naman 'tong kailangan gawin.

Sana lang talaga di magtagal.

"I think about 2-3 hours, just depends on the needed time but as much as possible 2-3 hours." she answered

Ano daw? I just wished that it wouldn't take that long tapos 2-3 hours? 1 hour or 1 hour and 30 minutes would have been enough kaso wala na akong magagawa.

"Okay. Will we do it in the classroom after class or sa library po?"

"His father already has a room assigned to you here in school, so you can freely teach him there. It's away from the noise so it's convenient." She answered, "I believe it's in the second floor. Just ask John, he knows where it is."

I just nodded as a response

"Okay now that it's settled, get back to class."

We both simply nodded at her.
