Chapter 17 - Options & Answers

Pag-alis naming ng studio ay bumalik muna kami ng pad ko para makapagpalit kaming pareho. Pupunta din kasi kami ng SP Princeton University after. We would meet up with Max and Sam there together with Axl, Dimitri, Yves and Lucien at sabay sabay din kaming mage-enroll.

This would be the last semester for Max, Sam and I because we're finally graduating on March samantalang si Aramis at yung apat naman ay kukuha ng special classes.

Special classes are for those who are already handling their own or their family business at hindi din lahat ng enrollees ay naga-grant ng special class. Students who wants to get in this class would need to pass a special examination. After nun ay mga proofs and requirements about sa klase ng business na hina-handle mo.

Kung may sarili kang business, three years would be the minimum kung gaano katagal ng nagra-run ang sinasabi mong business. At para malaman kung successful ba, kailangan magpakita ng profit and loss ng business na iyon at doon ibabase ng university kung pasado ka.

For the students who are handling their family business, kailangan ng proof na hina-handle mo nga ito katulad ng nakapangalan sayo ang business or nai-transfer na ang business under your name. Kailangan ding mapatunayan na maayos mo iyong naha-handle and same with former, three years din ang minimum ng handling.

Two years lang ang kalangan nilang ilaan sa special classes na ito at after nun ay ga-graduate na sila ng walang ibang iniisip.

Sa dami ng enrollees na halos puyat at pagod ang inabot para lang pumasa sa special classes, para namang naglaro lang sina Aramis, Dimitri, Yves, Lucien at Axl. They passed the exam with flying colors at yung requirements naman ay ipinasa lang din nila ng walang kahirap-hirap.

I really didn't expect them to be so intellectual. Hindi sa minamaliit ko sila ng dahil lang sa laking probinsya sila, but it was because of their looks and personality.

Aminin na nating lahat na hindi lahat ng gwapo, matalino. At hindi din lahat ng matalino ay gwapo. Sobrang playful din nila kung kaya't hindi ko inakala na iba din pala sila pagdating sa pag-aaral.

You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Matatanga kayo gaya ko.

Nagtatawanan pa kami ni Aramis as we got off the elevator to the floor where my pad is located. However, we stopped on our tracks and our laughter died the moment we saw a man standing outside my pad.

Agad na kumuyom ang panga ko ng gumawi ang tingin ng lalaking iyon sa amin. It was none other than Greg.

Halos dalawang buwan palang ang lumipas simula ng maghiwalay kami pero napakarami ng nangyari. Ni hindi ako na-stress sa paghihiwalay naming except lang sa kagagahan ng fiancée nya. But looking at him right now, he was a total mess.

"What the hell are you doing here?" tanong ko rito.

"Babe. / Honey?" sabay na tawag naman ni Aramis at Greg sakin which after a few seconds made them meet their gaze.

"Sino sya?" Greg growled, not bothering to even look at me.

Sobrang sama ng tingin nito kay Aramis. Like if he has a gun in his hands right now, he probably would've shot him the second he heard him call me 'Honey'.

And as I turned to Aramis, it was the very first time I saw his expression turned cold. I already sensed that I didn't need to explain who Greg was. Sa tingin palang nya dito ay alam kong nakilala nya na agad kung sino ito that's why he kept mum.
