Mr. Professor and I

4

"Guys! I will go first. I have an important appointment today" nagpaalam na ako sa mga kaibigan ko para pumunta kay sir prof, hindi na rin ako sumama sa cafeteria para kumain.

"Okay. Take care, Sovi" Bella told me while sweeping the room. She's one of the cleaners today, so she does her job. She's responsible as always. 

I'm already walking towards my professor's faculty. I think he's waiting for me so I walk fast as can. I'm here in front of his door and I knocked twice before opening the door. I slowly walk inside. I saw him doing something, I think he's busy. 

He glanced at me "Just seat. Wait for me, I will finish this first" he told me without looking at my face. I just sat and wait for him to be done. It's almost half an hour but his still not finish. I stand and he glanced at my direction.

"Where are you going?" he asked while holding his pen and tapping his table. He waited for my answer.

I get my bag on his couch before talking to him "I think I need to go home, you should finish your work first. I'll come back tomorrow" I walked immediately and open the door. I'm a bit disappointed. I feel sorry for him because he's too busy and I added to his work.

Pababa palang ako sa hagdan ng may biglang humila sa kamay ko. I looked back to see who pulled me. I saw a tall man holding my wrist. Hindi ko s'ya maaninagan dahil sa ilaw na nasa likod niya. He suddenly talked. Habang nagsasalita s'ya unti unting nagiging malinaw ang itsura n'ya sa mga mata ko. 

"I'm already done. Don't go" He told me he looks serious while staring at my face. Did he really follow me? hindi ko naman sinabi na sundan n'ya ko! hindi rin naman ako galit sakanya! pero bakit? bakit s'ya nandito?

"I think you need to rest si-" he cut me off

"I'm fine. Let's go back" he suddenly walk and pulled me while holding my wrist. I look at his face while pulling me back to his office. He's handsome especially when he is serious I really like him since the first day I saw him. But he doesn't like me back. I'm fine!

Nakabalik na nga kami sa office n'ya sinimulan n'ya na akong turuan. Dahan dahan n'yang pinapaliwanag sa'kin ang bawat steps sa pag solve ng isang problem. I'm happy because I can finally understand it, he's very patient to me. He didn't complain kahit puro ako tanong sakanya mas pinapaliwanag n'ya pa sa'kin lalo. I'm lucky he helps me.

The next day, I go to him immediately after the class. Hindi ulit ako sumabay kila Jason, hindi na din ako kumain sa cafeteria. Alam naman nila na may tutor ako every end of the class so they didn't force me to go with them instead they all supporting me.

"Hi sir, I'm here now!" I greeted him with a big smile on my face. 

"Okay let's start," he said and now he teaching me another topic.

Halos dalawang linggo na akong tinuturuan ni sir kaya mas lalong magaan ang loob ko sakanya. Dumideretso na din ako agad sa office n'ya kahit hindi ako kumatok sa pinto, he already knows that's me so he just let me in. Maaga ang uwian namin ngayon kaya maaga din akong pumunta kay sir. Maaga din n'ya akong natapos turuan kaya inalok ko muna s'ya mag meryenda. I buy turon, kwek-kwek, and gulaman. I treat him because he help me without replacement.

While we were eating I suddenly asked him. "Sir prof?" I call him first.

He looked at me "Why?" he asked
