The Final Wish (English Version)

Chapter 22

The next day, everything went pretty normal at Ferrydell University. Professor Diwa returned to his classes. And then, he remembered what he heard from the nurses at the hospital. He, then, wrote a note to Rose.

We need to talk. It is urgent. I need to talk to you and Ms. Acosta. I need to clarify some details that I don't know and/or understand. Meet me at Wake Up Coffee Shop near school once you have been dismissed. I look forward to meeting you there.

Professor Diwa placed it at Rose's locker. Rose saw the note; she was shocked at what it said.

"Eloisa, take a look at this note," Rose said as she gave the note to Eloisa.

"Who could this be," Eloisa wondered as she read the note.

"I don't know, but it is urgent as this person said," Rose said. "Should we go?"

"Hmmmm..." Eloisa thought. "Maybe, but we must study for the final exams."

"Let's just meet the person there," Rose said. "After the clarification, we can grab some coffee and study there."

"Agreed," Eloisa said. "Let's get to class."

After their classes, they went to the said coffee shop and Professor Diwa is waiting for them there.

"Uh.... Um..." Eloisa said awkwardly as Professor Diwa is sitting there casually. "Good afternoon, sir. What brings you here?"

She can't erase the awkwardness about what happened a few days ago. It was awkward for him too.

"Waiting for you," Professor Diwa answered casually.

"I don't get it," Rose said. "Are you here because you are waiting for us to come here by chance or are you the one that put the note in my locker?"

"Take a hint, Ms. Aguinaldo," Professor Diwa responded. Rose finally realized that he's the one that wrote that due to his handwriting.

"Now I understand," Rose said. "So, what is this urgent matter that we need to speak of?"

"First, you should take a seat before we begin," Professor Diwa said as he offered the two seats right in front of him. The girls sat and they looked at each other in the eyes. Awkwardness stirs up at that moment.

"Let's just get to the point," Eloisa said as she took the seat. "Why did you want to talk to us?"

"I'm going to reveal some details provided that you will also answer my questions honestly, do you understand," Professor Diwa said.

"Alright," Rose said. We understand."

"Let's begin," Eloisa said. "Will start with a starter question, what is your full name? This is a question that has been answered by one of the professors at school. I'm just here to confirm it. What is your full name? This is the beginning of answering the questions that are opened during a month long journey of discovering the truth."

"And sir, to be honest, you're not very good with keeping secrets," Eloisa said.

"Alright, you caught me red handed," Professor Diwa said.

"And," Rose asked.

"You succeeded," Professor Diwa said plainly. "It's over. No more secrets to be hidden. There's nothing left to hide. No matter how much I try, it will and always will be revealed. My name is Jonathan Dave Diwa."

"Now, finally," Rose said. "And so the truth floweth forth."

"It seems that you have learned something on our Literature class," Professor Diwa said.
