My Tutor was my Bully

C-31

Waking up in the morning and seeing the face of the person you love sleeping beside. you is the best feeling.

Pinakatitigan ko ang mukha ni Ava. Some strands of her hair was on her face kaya naman hinawi ko iyon. From her knotted forehead my eyes goes down to her curly eyelashes, her nose that was perfectly pointed and down to her pinkish lips that is slightly parted.

I bit my lower lip when I recall what those lips whispered to my ear last night.

I sigh before getting up but I stop moving when she slowly open her eyes and settle her gaze on me.

"Uhh..hi?"- I said to her.

Natigil naman ako sa pagngiti ng dumikit lalo sya sakin at niyakap ako sa bewang.

"Ava.."

"Let's cuddle for a while.."- her bedroom voice said and I can't help but to gulp many times because of that.

"Pero tanghali na"- sabi ko but the great woman didn't listen.

My gaze goes down to her bare back and instead of thinking inappropriate things pinaglaruan kona lamang ang mga buhok nya pero may naalala na namana ako kaya binitawan kona lamang ito.

Geezz Billie tigang kaba? Hala san nanggaling yun?

"This is one of my dream Billie.."

Yumuko ako para makita sya at tumingala naman sya para tignan ako.

"To wake up beside you as if there's nothing to worry about in real life"- she said.

Hinawakan kona man ang kamay nya. I entertwined our fingers together and I smile back to her.

"Ano bang inaalala mo?"

Yumuko naman sya ulit pero nanatili ang paghawak nya sa kamay ko.

"Ava you can trust me and I promise I won't get mad whatever it is"- I assured her.

"The day my parents talked to me and Jasmine they said something that haunts me until now Billie.."

Nanatili akong tahimik at hinihintay lamang na magkwento sya.

She heave a sigh before continuing her words.

"They want me to marry the son of their family friend"

Binalot kami ng katahimikan dalawa. Inangat nya ang mukha nya at tinitigan ako.

"Kaya sinabi ko na intayin mo ako kasi aayusin ko muna lahat para sayo Billie.. Pagod nako isipin lagi na wala akong kwentang tao para sayo dahil puro sakit lang naman ang binibigay ko sayo.. this time I want to follow what my heart wanted even if it means to disobey my parents.."

Namuo ang luha sa mga mata nya at kaagad nyang pinunasan iyon ng tumulo iyon sa pisnge nya.

"I didn't know I will fell deep inlove with a kid I did bully before"- she chukcled and look at me again.

"You're my favorite bully kahit pa ang demonyo mo dati"

Bigla naman sumeryoso ang mukha nya kaya natawa ako at hinigit sya para yakapin.

"I'm just kidding"- natatawa kong sabi at nakaramdam naman ako ng kurot sa tagiliran ko.

"I don't want you to remember me as your bully.. I want you to remember me as your Ava.. the girl who loves you"- she sincerely said.

"Hindi kana man na high no?"- paniniguro ko na ikinatawa nya.

"Of course I'm not. You take away all the heat I'm feeling last night"
