My Professor's Love [ UNEDITED ]

Four

"Baby, I promise to marry you in the near future." sabi ng batang lalaki

"Promise,baby?" sagot naman ng batang babae

"Promise."

Nagising ako dahil sa tunog ng alarm clock, it's already 5 am at 9 am pa naman ang klase ko.

Naghilamos muna ako bago bumaba para magluto.

"Good Morning." I greeted him but instead of anwering me, he just give me a cold stare.

Ang sarap pumasok sa frezeer.

Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at naghanda na para magluto.

Dito na ba magsisimula ang kalbaryo ko? Si lolo naman kasi ipapakasal na nga lang ako sa lalaki pa na ito na ubod ng sungit.

Im craving for chowfan at buti nalang at may ingredients naman tsaka may natira pang kanin kagabi kaya iyon nalang ang ginamit ko.

After I cooked ay kumain na kami, tahimik lang siyang kumain kaya tahimik lang din ako, alangan naman na mag ingay edi para akong baliw non'.

7:45 ng umalis ako sa bahay dahil mahirap ng malate siya pa naman ang prof namin ngayon sa drafting baka pagbuntungan pa ako ng galit niya.

And thanks god dahil nauna akong pumasok kesa sakanya, hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko, malaking problema ito pagnagkataon na malaman ng campus. I know everything is in control dahil kay lolo pero hindi niya naman makokontrol ang utak ng mga estudyante dito.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako ng pumasok ito, and as usual the greetings then he discuss something and give us our project which is to create a portrait either our self, family or whatever basta human portrait.

Pagkatapos ng klase ay nagyaya ang dalawa na bumili ng mga kakailanganin namin sa drawing, meron naman na akong stock pero dinagdagan ko nalang incase na magkamali ako kailangan ko din kasing gawan ng portrait si Kuya Ethan dahil malapit na ang birthday nito.

I don't know why, but instead of making a sketch of my own self, it turns out that I'm sketching a little girl sitting on the swing and a little boy was kneeling infront of her, hindi ko na ito nilagyan ng mukha dahil hindi ko naman talaga alam kung ano ang ginagawa ko.

NAGKANYA KANYA kaming ayos ng pumasok si Sir Claveria, this is it. After 2 days of giving this assignment to us  ay ito na nga at ipepresent namin bago isubmit.

At dahil nga nasa unahan ang surname ni Maye ay siya ang naunang magpresent.

It's her beside the plane.

"When I was a kid, all I want is to fly around the world, sometimes I really wanted to become a bird that can fly without expenses, and here I am starting to earn my wings to fly without borders."

She really want to enter aviation dahil ito talaga ang gusto niya, but instead of pursuing tourism he studied archi, she can gain a wings in archi but also she can make her dream come true.

Next on the list is Patch.

A portrait of her family. I smiled. I know she missed her family in the province.

"Everyone wanted to have a complete family beside them, creating a family portrait help me not to give up easily. I know even though they are far from me they still support me to my chosen career." she suddenly wiped her tears before continuing.

"I may not have a complete family because they leave me years ago and that was the tragic memories of me, but i'm being thankful because I still have my siblings to guide me. And I know, not now but soon that I need to bid my goodbye here in the world to be with my parents in the other world, but we still need to pursue what we started to earn the wings that we really wanted."

Patch, at the young age lost her parents because of a car accident at graduation namin iyon sa highschool, papunta na sila sa school ng may nakasalubong itong 10 wheeler truck. Her father is dead on the spot while her mother died days after.

Tumayo na ako para salubungin siya ng yakap, she's crying and I know she's hurting, Maye did the same. Hanggang sa ako na ang tinawag kaya iniwan ko muna kay Maye si Patch at pumunta sa harap.

I cleared my throat before I speak.

"I unintentionally made this portrait-"

"Why unintentionally?" Sir Claveria asked, napairap nalang ako, sa lahat naman kasi na nag explain dito e' ako pa ang tinanong, ako pa talaga ang pinaka last na tinawag niya e' hindi naman ako ang last letter.

"Because I don't know, that night I was about to create a portrait of my own but my hands starting to create this kind of picture." I breathe again before I continue.

"I don't know if what, when or where this picture happened, but it always pop up in my dreams sometimes it has a different scenario's but most of all is this kind of scenario."

"Why they don't have any faces?" gatong naman na tanong ni Louie

"Saan ka nakakakita ng panaginip na may mukha aber?"

Nagtawanan naman ang mga kaklase ko.

"Enough. Continue," malamig na sabi ni sir habang naka kunot ang noo.

"Okay. So this two made a promise to each other that-"

"What kind of promise?" Louie said habang nakikipag apir pa sa kaibigan nito at tumatawa.

"Pwede ba, huwag kang gatong ng gatong kita mong nagsasalita yung tao e." pagsusungit ko dito, kainis kasi nakakapagod kayang tumayo.

"So iyon na nga, in my dreams this two made a promise that they will marry each other in the near future. So in the end, I finished making this portrait to know this kids not only the kids but also I want to visit this place because it is very familiar to me."

I looked at Sir Jekyll na nakakunot parin ang noo hanggang ngayon.

"And also to know the meaning of the words from my grandpa."
