He's my Professor

Chapter 2: I'm sorry, Sir Keith

Adrianne's POV

"Ouch Sir! Masakit!!" Sigaw ko. Paulit-ulit na niyang ginagawa yun, sobrang sakit!

"Tiisin mo muna, konti nalang." He answered with his calm voice.

"Huhu Sir sobrang sakit pooooo!!" I shouted. Kahit anong pagpupumiglas ko ay ayaw niya parin tumigil. Sobrang masakit naaaaaa!

"Sa una lang 'to masakit.. Bibilisan ko nalang ang pag--" Bigla niyang inilagay yun..

"Sir mahapdi po!! Sobra! Ouch!!! Sir!" Paulit-ulit ko'ng sigaw pero parang wala eh, he doesn't care about how I feel. Mas binilisan niya ang paggalaw. Ang gusto niya lang ay ang matapos na siya sa ginagawa niya.

"Last na 'to and I swear hindi na masakit." He held my hand and I can't help but to just close my eyes. I almost mouthed curses when I felt the thing na mas bumilis, it was cooling and at last, it didn't hurt.

I opened my eyes when I felt him blowing his breathe to my cuts, betadine lang pala yung huling nilagay niya. Akala ko alcohol na naman, sobrang hapdi kaya!!

"I told you hindi na masakit diba?" He said habang hinihipan yung cuts ko.

"Sir bakit naman kasi alcohol yung nilagay mo kanina!? Sobrang hapdi kaya!!" I shouted at inagaw ko sakanya yung kamay ko, I blew it myself. "Nakakainis ka sir.. Huhu"

"From now on ayoko ng makikitang may cuts ka," He said calmly. "Or else.."

"Or else what?" I asked.

"Or else I'll kis--"

There were three knocks, causing both of us to return to earth. We averted our gaze on the door that was trying to be opened.

"Stay here." Sabi niya then he headed to the door quickly at binuksan niya ang pinto.

Wahhh.. What did he just say? He's going to what?? I hate you Sir! Why do you always keep making heart beat so fast!! Arghhhhhh!

Napatingin nalang ako sa pinto, medyo maliit lang ang pagbukas ni Sir Keith doon, baka kasi may makakita sa amin na kaming dalawa lang. Especially ngayon na naka-dim lang yung lights.

"Sir Keith," I heard an angelic voice of a girl. "Pwede po ba'ng magpatutor sa subject mo?" Her voice sounded so pabebe. Arghh, I want to see that girl. Her voice sounded kinda familiar to me, parang narinig ko na yun dati.

I was also caught by her so called 'palusot', I'm sure it's just an alibi para makasama niya si Sir. Ang basic basic ng subject ni Sir eh. Tss..

"I'm actually not up for being a tutor. And besides, you can use your books as reference." I don't know why pero there's something inside me that felt happy knowing na nag-disagree si Sir. Maybe because he's right, may books naman.

"O-okay sir, sorry po sa abala." I heard how embarrassed the girl sounded, sino ba namang hindi if you got rejected.

I heard the door closed and nakita ko si Sir na naglalakad palapit sakin, "Are you okay now?" He asked.

I waited for him to sit on the chair in front of me then I smiled, "Okay na po sir. Thank you so much po."

He held my wrist then scanned it, "These cuts are so deep," He said habang paulit-ulit na tinitignan yung laslas ko, "Would you mind if you tell me what pushed you to do such things?"

I lifted my face, dahilan para siya din ay mapatingin sakin. Wahh! Is this really happening? Eye-to-eye with Sir Keith Mason Denver?? Uwahhh matutunaw ko siya neto eh.

I don't know pero iniwas ko ang tingin ko sakanya, "N-nothing. A-actually bigla nalang po nadulas yung kutsilyo sa wrist ko while I'm cooking." I lied. P*tang*nang palusot 'yan Adrianne!

"Nadulas yung kutsilyo.. Ng paulit-ulit?" He asked na parang nagtataka.

"Y-yes sir! P-parang ga-ganun na nga!" I said trying to look so believable. Yess!! Maniniwala siya!!!

"You know what.." He went closer to me. "Hindi ka magaling magsinungaling."

Bigla nalang akong napatingin sa mga mata niya, bigla ko'ng nabasa ang sinasabi nito. 'Go ahead, tell it. I'm listening.' <--Ganyan na ganyan yung sinasabi ng mga mata niya.

I let out a fake chuckle then I shook my head, "Kung hindi sana kasi hindi nabulag si daddy sa pera and kung hindi sana siya sumama sa babae niya, baka until now maayos padin kaming pamilya. Baka until now, buo padin kami... Kung hindi niya sana kami iniwan, masaya sana si mommy ngayon.. Kung hindi siya umalis, baka naaalala pa ni mommy na nandito pa ako.. Ang anak niya.."

"It's okay," I felt him wiping away my tears, "Everything's gonna be okay." He assured me.

I glanced at him, causing my glance to be a stare. I-is this him? Bakit parang bigla nalang nagbago ang itsura niya? Why did his dark aura changed into a caring one? Ta-tapos yung mga mata niya, it was full of something na ngayon ko lang nakita. He's eyes we're full of pity.

Don't worry Sir, I also pity myself. I pity myself more than you pity me.

He stood up then he helped me to stand, too. I felt his hands holding mine, now we're facing each other eye-to-eye.

I felt his hands losing grip then it travelled to my cheeks, he caressed it habang nakatingin padin siya sa mga mata ko.

I can't help but to do the same, I caressed his cheeks also. Naramdaman ko nalang ang mga kamay niya na bumababa sa neck ko. His face started to move closer and closer, but when his lips were about to meet mine, I pushed him away.

I don't know why but I just did it, and his reaction reminds me of the same reaction I had when dad chose his other girl over his real family.

The reaction that reminded me of how I felt when someone whom I loved so much left me.

"This is wrong. You are my professor, I'm your student." I mouthed those words at tumakbo na ako palayo sakanya.

I'm sorry, Sir Keith.
