Untangle Me Free

Chapter 4

Special

"Alas otso pa po ang unang klase ko."

My phone is on loudspeaker and Papa is on the other line. He called while I'm getting ready to school. Not a single day without him calling me, I feel so much loved!

"Alright. I have to go, don't forget to eat your breakfast. I love you."

I jumped onto my bed to get my phone. "Yes, Pa. Take care, I love you."

Nang matapos ako sa pagaayos ay bumaba na para kumain. I saw Jiro looking all cute with his uniform. I went to him and kissed his cheek.

"Good morning, Baby."

"Good morning, Ate!" He replied, smiling.

"Where's Mama?" I asked.

He pointed at our kitchen. Agad naman akong gumawi sa kusina, nakita ko si Mama at tulad ni Jiro ay hinalikan ko ang pisngi.

"Kumain na tayo. Handa na sa hapag."

I chose to eat a pancake. Hindi ko kaya na rice agad sa umaga kaya lagi ay ganito, kung hindi ay cereal.

"Anong oras ang uwi mo?" Mama asked.

"Alas sinco po pero depende kung may mga gagawin pa." Sabi ko bago isubo ang pancake sa tinidor ko.

Pagkatapos kumain ay naunang umalis sina Mama dahil mas maaga ang pasok ni Jiro saakin. I texted Maggie where we'll meet before entering the car. Medyo malayo ang bahay sa Centro kaya maaga kaming umalis ni Mang Gardo.

Nang makapasok sa eskwela ay hinanap ko agad si Maggie, pero mukhang wala pa siya. I decided to review our lessons before the holidays. Baka lang magkaroon ng surprise quiz. Sigurado ay susubukin nanaman kami ni Engr. Morata sa Physics. Ayaw niya talaga na napapahinga ang mga utak namin.

Ilang sandali pa ay nakita ko si Maggie kasama si Nico. Did I just ruin their moment? I should've waited for her somewhere close to our room so she could be with her love longer.

Tumango lang si Nico sakin and waved goodbye to Maggie. Ang lapad ng ngiti ni Maggie kahit pa nakaalis na si Nico. Naiiling nalang ako at natatawa.

"Kayo na?" I asked.

She flashed a smile and winked at me before entering our room. I groaned. Impatiently fishing a direct answer. I poked her so I could get her attention.

We graced our way to our seats with my eyes still pierced at her. She nodded and placed her index finger across her lips. What's with all this secrecy? Is she not allowed to date anyone?

I'm sure malalaman din naman dahil mapapansin sa magkasama sila palagi.

True enough, sa isang linggo na pasok ay madalas namin kasama si Nico tuwing free time. We'll talk about school stuff since we're on the same line. Sa mga kwento ni Nico ay nagpapahiwatig na siya sa mahirap na gawain sa course namin. I shouldn't be shaken by that, I prepared myself to this.

Since Nico is doing his thesis, Maggie often helps him. Madalas ay nasa library kami para mga kailangan niyang data. Ayos lang saakin dahil nagaaral din naman ako ng lessons namin. Paminsan ay gumagawa ng plate, it's nice to be with a senior since he knows what to do.

May mga pagkakataon na umuuwi sila kina Nico dahil naroon ang mga kagamitan niya kaya nananatili nalang ako sa library tulad ngayon habang naghihintay ng sundo. I searched for a book where I can read more about our topic in Physics.
