 CHAPTER 3:

If you come with ME, Then YOU will see

The next morning, Maaga ako nagising at nag prepare going to school. Nagtuturo ako ng Business Management for fourth year students. Minsan naman, sa company ako ni Papa nagwowork if I don’t have classes.

I arrived at the University 30 minutes early than the usual time so I decided to stay at the garden just located at the back of the school.

“Hmmmm… Sarap naman ng simoy nang hangin dito! Ang fresh!” sabi ko while opening my arms and welcoming every breeze passing by my body.

Such a nice sanctuary!!!!

Umupo ako sa isang rock bench at huminga ng malalim.

“I am getting married.” I whispered to myself. I can’t believe na nangyayari pa talaga ito sa 21st century! Akala ko sa libro lang nagaganap o di kaya sa mga traditional families. My goodness gracious! Hindi pa ako handa! Much as I wanted to get married, but not in this early age! “For god sake! I’m only 22!!!” I yelled to the wind. Haaaaay, pampatanggal stress lang. Wala naman katao-tao dito so okay lang sumigaw.

Since no one is around, Tinanggal ko yung pagkakatali ng buhok ko kasi ang sakit na sa anit. Then I removed my eye glasses para makapag-pahinga naman ang aking mga mata paminsan-minsan. My eyesight is not so bad pero I had to wear one so that it could be corrected.

I took my pocket book out of my bag and started reading it. “The Great Escape from an Arrianged Marriage”. Oh diba, ganda ng librong binabasa ko? Tamang-tama para sa akin.

Maganda talaga ang ambiance dito. Relaxing and very solemn. Magandang tambayan kapag may pinagdadaanan like me. Hindi ko alam kung itutuloy ko yung pagpapakasal dahil hindi ko naman kayang suwayin ang gusto nila Mama at Papa. Sana lang ay hindi maganda ang ugali ng papakasalan ko para hindi na talaga matuloy.

Pero, sabi ni Mama, gwapo at mabait daw yung guy? Mama never complimented a guy very much aside from kay Papa. High standard ang taste ni Mama so baka all in one package nga yung ipapakasal nila sa akin. Hmmm… I’m getting curious now.

“Fvck it!!!! Arggghhh!!!” Napatalon ako sa kinauupuan ko nang may biglang sumigaw. For Pete’s sake! Umagang-umaga may nanggugulat! Sino ba yun?

Huh? Si Timothy Philips?

“Ah…Did I startle you?” tanong niya sa akin ng mapansin niya ako. Natulala ako kasi, Kinausap niya ako? The Ice Prince of this University is talking to me?

I just nodded.

“Oh, Sorry about that.” Woaaaah! Tell me I’m dreaming! Tell me this is just my imagination! A guy like him is saying sorry? Am I hearing it right? “I’m just frustrated.” Sabi pa niya. Woaaah. Sa pagkakaalam ko, he defies profs like me so I bet he won’t talk to me. Hindi ba niya ako kilala? Ay oo nga pala, I removed my signature look which is yung hair-do ko na neat bun and eyeglasses.

“It’s okay. But you really did surprised me back there.” I replied nang mahanap ko na ang boses ko. Okay lang siguro kung hindi niya ako makilala at saka it made me more curious nung may ganitong side pala si Timothy. Hmmm…

New fact I learned about Timothy Philips

He can actually say ‘sorry’ …
