"Miss Navales, what is Politics?" Tanong ng Professor namin sa Society and Good Governance na subject.

"Politics can be refer to as an activities associated with governance of a country or other area, specially the debate or conflict of individuals or parties having or hoping to acheive power."

"Ok, what can you say about the political issue in your country which is the Philippines?" She asked again. Myghad, ang taray naman ni maam.

"Well, maam. We do really have a very nice political leaders and good governance." I started.

"But I'm really disappointed with my kababayans right there because of thier stand and views in politics are just highly influenced by thier teachers and professors and not totally from thier ways of probing and contemplating. That goes to show that I studied here to learn more about political stance and issues and many mo---"

"Wait, speaking of Filipinos and your kaba-ba-yans. You guys had have a new classmate. He's from the Philippines too."

"Come in Mr."

Na shocked ako ng bonggang-bongga when our professor introduced him. Sinundan niya ba ako? Or what?

"You mist sit beside Ms. Navales." Utos ng prof namin sa kanya.

*krriinngg.......*

"Okay, let's continue our discussion tomorrow. Please, do save your ideas. We have a recitation after which."

"Okay, maam. Bye!" Sagot nang karamihan.

Mabilis akong lumabas ng room namin na super lamig. As I walked on the lobby, I recognized that he's following me.

"Hey, iniiwasan mo ba ako?" He asked. Binilisan ko pa ang paglalakad.

"I searched you for so long. What happened? Are you mad at m? Ano bang kasalanan ko?" He exclaimed.

Wait, pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga amerikano at amerikana dito. E englishero kasi tong si Rivero, akala mo naman hindi ako pinay.

"Hey, Steph. Please, talk to me."

I stopped, hinarap ko siya.

"Gusto ko nang maging malaya. I want to be free. Free from danger, free from conflict, and feee from you." Sigaw ko sa kanya. At yong mga students na naglalakad ay napahinto dahil sa sagutan namin.

"Why?"

"Because my life became a mess when I meet you. Stop chasing me. We aren't meant to each other." Aalis na sana ako nang bigla niya hatakin ang kamay ko.

"No, I wont." Then he grabbed my face and kisses my lips so softly and gently. Focc!

"Huy! Yon na yon? Hanggang doon lang? Kwento mo pa sakin anong nangyari sa states!" Pagmamaktol ni Grace ng bigla kong isinara ang aking laptop na ilang oras na naming hinahalungkat ang mga litrato at larawan namin ni Rivero.

"Grace, I'm tired." Reklamo ko sabay higa sa kama at pumikit.

"Ang daya! Akin na nga yang camera!"

"So yon! Doon nagtatapos ang aming epic na pagkikita ni Rivero." Tugon ko kay Grace na kumakain ng chi'chiria sa aking tabi habang naka dapa sa kama at kinukulikot ang DSLR na camera na kanina pa niyang hinihiram dahil sa Journalism nila.

"So hindi siya na coma?" Tanong niya.

"Hindi ko alam. Eh kung nacoma yon dapat di na niya ako sinundan sa States."

"Paano 'pag magkita kayo? Anong gagawin mo?" Tanong ni Grace.

"Edi 'hi' ulit." Mataray kong sagot.

"Professional na ako, Grace. Ang dami ko nang naipanalong kaso, pero hindi ko kayang maipanalo yong nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. Hindi ko parin siya nakakalimutan. But I'm trying my best to forget him whatever it takes."

"Paano mo makakalimutan kong mahal mo parin?" Madiin niyang tanog ulit.

"Kaya nga susubukan kong kalimutan."

"Ang chossy mo kasi. Ayan ikaw rin ang nag suffer. Ambait na ng tao sayo ikaw pa tong ma arte." Tinamaan ako sa sinabi ni Grace. Totoo naman kasi. Kasalanan ko siguro dahil masyado akong umarte kaya ako yong nag suffer sa huli.

"Wait, may ibibigay ako sayo." Tugon ko kay Grace at lumabas ng kwarto papuntang sala.

Akmang bubuksan ko na yong aparador ng mag flash report news.

"Magandang hapon Pilipinas. Sikat na Basketball Player ng Pilipinas na si Ricci Rivero, ikinasal na sa isang non-showbiz lady na si Kyla Abrea, let's watch this."

"Beautiful in White"

As the music starts to play, the bride were started to march, everyone stared at her; thier eyes widened.

Her curly black hair were in loose, fitting her white-silky long gown, making her look gorgeous and elegant bride. And when the man held his hand, it's really obvious that he felt a little bit nervous.

"My wife it seems like you were nervous" He whispered. The ceremony continues until

"You may now kiss the bride"- the Father inquired.

As the man get-off the bride's veil, she closed her eyes and whispered "I love you, Ricci Rivero." And painted a sweetest smile on her face while feeling the gentle caress of the groom's finger on her cheeks. Ricci gave a deep breathe and whispered back,

"I love you too, Eunice Neptuno."
