When Opposites Attract [On-GOING]

Chapter 6

Dane's POV

Days had passed, all went smoothly. Just normal days for a student.

Today is Friday. Walang klase. May congress ang mga teachers. Division-wide siya. And since there's no class for today, it will be a long weekend.

6:00 a.m

Napabangon nalang ako sa kama ko. Kinusot-kusot ko ang aking mga mata at tsaka humikab. Muli kong naalala ang pangalan niya.

Liam Maverick Alviar

Even though I knew his identity, there's no change at all. I still hate him.

Little did I know, last section pala siya. It's not that I'm downing him, but his looks doesn't define his section. Sabagay, looks are deceiving.

Pumunta akong washroom para maghilamos at magtoothbrush. After that, I quickly changed my clothes into a jogging attire, since there's no class. Matapos kong magbihis ay pumanhik ako sa baba. Nadatnan ko si Manang kasama si.... Daddy. Nagkakape si Daddy habang nagbabasa ng diyaryo.

"Daddy." I smiled genuinely. Nakuha ko ang atensyon niya. Ginantihan niyo ako ng ngiti.

"My baby girl's already awake." Sabi niya tsaka sinenyasan akong umupo sa tabi niya.

"Good morning! Daddy! Manang!" I feel energized today. Because of Daddy's presence, I gained energy in an instant.

"Hija, magandang umaga rin." Nakangiti ring bati ni Manang tsaka inilapag ang Italian Chocolate Coffee ko. Agad itong bumalik sa kusina.

"How's work Dad?" I asked. Ibinababa niya ang binabasa niyang diyaryo, humigop sa kape niya tsaka tumingin sa'kin.

"Exhausting baby." He said while massaging his head. Ramdam kong pagod talaga si Dad. "I'll be going to Cebu." He added out of the blue. My energy was gradually decreased.

"I-is that so Dad? When?" Hindi ko ipinahalatang nalungkot ako. I don't want him to think more, to be stressed.

"9 this morning. Hinintay lang kitang magising so I can tell that I'll be out. Maybe a week." Mababakasan ang lungkot sa tono ni Daddy. Ako mismo ay nalulungkot rin. He's getting busier. Kaya pala naka-formal suit siya. May maleta pa siya. Tumingin ako sa malayo at uminom sa chocolate coffee ko.

"Babawi ka naman po diba?" Sabi ko nang hindi nakatingin sa kaniya. Pero alam ko, nakatingin siya sa'kin na puno ng pag-aalala. I wish.

"Of course baby. Basta ikaw." Binaling ko ang tingin ko sa kaniya. He's smiling. I smiled too. He glanced at his wrist watch. "I guess, I'll go now. Take care baby." Sabi niya tapos akma siyang tatayo pero niyakap ko siya.
