My Strict Professor

Chapter 4

Mandy's Pov

Argh it was a tiring day for me. I am here at my room, staring at the ceiling while listening to my favorite song. I don't know what am I feeling right now e. You know that feeling when you became sad just in one blink but you don't know why. Maybe, overthinking is eating me.  

Can I just share one thought of mine?

I was affected by Hailey's attitude lately. She's not usually like that e. She's active and joyful in class, but why is she acting differently? She's so quiet and sometimes it looks like her mind is flying at the other thoughts. She's not focusing on me!  

Another thought of mine that I can share is about one of my student.  She talked to me yesterday about her love life problem and I honestly didn't expected what she said. It's about her sexuality. She's one of the grade 10 students and one of the beautiful girl that I've seen. She came out at the closet. 

Sinabi nya sakin lahat ng tungkol sa sexuality nya, kung kelan nya naramdaman at kung paano. Sobrang bigat na daw sa dibdib kasi wala syang mapagsabihan kaya nagpunta sya sakin. At tama ang pinuntahan nya. I'm always saying to my students that whenever they have a problem don't hesitate to open up with me. I am always ready to listen at all their problems. Mapa love life man yan or kahit anong problem. Kapag ready na sila mag open up at wala silang mapagsabihang iba, sakin sila lumalapit. And I really appreciated those students na nagkekwento nga sakin. Gustong gusto ko na nagoopen up sila sakin kasi alam kong pinagkakatiwalaan nila ako.

Nasa malalim akong pag iisip ng biglang tumunog ung messenger ko.

"Maam. Do we need to right the correct answer behind the bond paper? " It's Hailey. Parang kanina lang iniisip ko palang sya. Na coconfuse talaga ako dahil sa inasal nya kanina e. Ayoko naman kasi na may sama ng loob sakin ung mga studyante ko.

"Yes po" sagot ko nalang. Gusto ko sana'ng tanungin si hailey kung okay lang ba sya pero, i don't know, it looks like I don't have the courage to ask that. I can't explain what am I feeling rn. 

Hinihintay ko kung mag rereply pa ba sya pero di na sya nag reply. 

After 30 minutes, I started to feel sleepy so I did my night routines and started to fall asleep.

It's Sunday morning and I'm going to church with my family.  Nakasanayan na namin na every sunday sinisikap namin na makapag simba. I'm always praying to give my family a long life e. And also my tatay. May sakit kasi sya and medyo humihina na ung katawan nya. After one hour, the mass ended up and we decided to eat at the restaurant.

"Oh mandy wala ka pa bang ipapakilalang bf sa amin? " tanong ni tatay

What? Ung ibang magulang pinipigilang mag bf mga anak nila. Samantalang ako? Pinupush na nilaa? Hays

"Argh tay namaann. Wala pa sa isip ko yaann. Mag-iipon pa po ako ng maraming pera para maipagamot kayo" naka pout na sabi ko. Tumango nalang si tatay at nginitian ako.

"Napakabait talaga ng bunso natin" pahabol na sabi pa ni tatay. Buti at di na nang asar sila kuya about sa bf bf na yan. Wala pa kasi talaga akong balak.

"Hi po Tay, nay, mandy, mga kuyaa.. Babe" nakangiting bati ni ate Jasmin. Sya ung gf ni kuya clar. Ang tagal na nga nila eh. 1 year na silaa and yes kami nalang ni kuya carl ung mabait na anak. Kami nalang ung single e. 

"Oh upo ka muna jasmin"  alok ni nanay kay Ate Jas  

"Thank you po nay.. Sorry po pala di na ako nakasama sa pag simba nagkaroon po kasi ng emergency sa office eh"Nahihiyang sabi ni ate jasmin. May kaya din ung fam nila ate Jas at may ira sila ng isang kumpanya. Maganda at mabait din sya kaya ng tinutukso namin si kuta clar na baka ginayuma nya tong si Ate Jas e. Lol.
