I hurriedly went inside my room the moment I got home. Nakakapagod mag-alaga ng bugnutin
.
I scoffed, "Pasalamat siya, inalagaan ko siya." I whispered as I closed my eyes.

Buti na lang, nakapagbasa ako ng kaunti doon sa Biology book. Kaya kahit nag-alaga ako ng damulag, natuto pa rin ako.

Speaking of which, kamusta na kaya yun? I opened my phone and stared his number for a little while?

Should I text him?

"Ah, tangina." I cursed. I put my phone at the table. Inalagaan ko naman na siya so maybe that's enough.

Pero, hindi e. Paano kung, his sister failed to go in his condominium.

I got panicked and typed at the messaging app...

I shook my head, "Nah. Mapaghahalataan ka lang na concern." I said at ibinalik ulit ang phone sa table.

"ARGH!" I shouted out of stressed. Bakit ba kasi masiyado akong nag-aalala sa lalaking 'yun. He's just my professor.

I came back to my senses when someone called my phone. It's caller ID is just a number, who is it?

"Hello?" I greeted.

"Hello, kuya. This is Farry. I can't go there kasi may tatapusin pa kaming thesis, e. Get well soon, brother. Muwah." someone said then ended the call.

Napakunot naman ako ng noo? Who's this? Probably, wrong nunber.

I was supposed to lay down again when it strucked me.

Farry? Francisco's sister?

Then I remembered. I get her number from Francisco's phone then texted the girl using my number. Baka napagkamalan niyang ako.

Without further ado, I changed my clothes.
I knocked on Gerard's bedroom, "Hey, big brother!"

He looked at me, "What?"

"Change your clothes. Ihatid mo ako." I said.

He followed me and after a while, we reached the parking lot.

I entered the car and Gerard started the car engine.

Sino bang pupuntahan mo dun, ate?” he asked.

Proffesor ko.” I answered shortly.

Napakunot naman siya ng noo, “What for? Hindi ba, tapos na class mo sa kaniya?” he asked.

He’s sick. And my conscience  couldn’t bear na iwanan siyang mag-isa dun.” I said.

Hmm. Baka naman…”

“He’s harmless, okay?” I butt in, “And if you’re thinking na may namamagitan between us, there’s nothing.” I explained.

He chuckled, “Okay. Defensive.”

I just scoffed then rolled my eyes. How malicious people are nowadays.

We reached the condo and reminded Gerard to fetch me at 10.

As I reached his unit, I pressed the doorbell. Hopefully, gising pa yun.

The door opened after seconds and I greeted him with my smile. I chuckled when I see his reaction.

Gulat na gulat?” I laughed. “Good evening.”

“Wh-what are you doing here?” he asked.
