The Man I Can't Reach (COMPLETED)

Chapter 41

Tama nga ang sinabi ni Andrea. Bago ako pumasok ngayon ay chineck ko muna lahat ng schedule ko, magiging kaklase ko, and everything that should be checked out.

Last night, I really don't want to believe that Travin will be my classmate. It'll be another hellish way! Another nightmare for me again. I can say I moved on a lot, pero may natitira pa ring sakit. I wish I can easily forget things if I want to. Kung sana gano'n kadaling kalimutan ang ginawa niya sa akin, matagal ko ng ginawa.

"Welcome on the academy, Ms. Valencia."

It's ma'am Luteria who greatly approached me on the gate of Lourdes College. She's wearing a pencil skirt for pete's sake. Ilang taon na ba siya? I suggest long dresses for hear, but I'll become a rude girl if I tell her 'bout that.

I smiled at her, "Thank you for your warm welcome, ma'am Luteria."

She nodded with a wide smile on her face, "Miss Pasciras would like to meet you after your class. You can meet her in her office."

I just nodded.

Pagkatapos ay umalis na siya. I missed her too, but sadly, she's not my professor in my fourth year college. Nakangiti ngunit kinakabahan kong tinungo ang building naming Engineering students when my phone suddenly rang.

"Did you arrive safely?"

Napairap ako sa simpleng tanong ng kapatid ko sa Australia. Duh. This is Cagayan de Oro. I've lived here for one year! Kahit one year, hindi naman ako inosente rito. Nalibot ko na ang buong Cagayan, at 'yung iba ay kasama ko siya.

"Yuno, I told you, I don't need a bodyguard." Naf-frustrate kong sabi sa kaniya.

I can manage to go here in Lourdes on my own, but Yuno insisted to get me a bodyguard. A bodyguard that won't tag along with me all around. 'Yung simpleng susundo at maghahatid lang sa akin. Baka akalain pa ng iba na mayaman ako. I don't want to be the center of attraction.

"You need it. You're a girl. You need to be protected."

I rolled my eyes again, "Yes, I'm a girl, but I can protect myself, Yuno..."

He laughed at the other line, "Really? You can? You didn't even finish your taekwondo class here."

Natigilan ako saka napapikit ng mariin. I should haven't bring that topic up, right? Hell! Uungkatin na naman niya ang hindi ko pagtapos sa taekwondo class ko!

"Okay, fine! Just make sure na hindi bubuntot buntot sa 'kin 'yang tauhan mo. Marunong pa naman akong mag-taekwondo, baka siya pa pagbuntongan ko."

He chuckled, "'Kay. You have your class today. I'll better hang up. Bye, lil' sis. I love you!"

Mahina akong natawa sa sinabi niya pero napangiti rin sumunod. My big bro never really failed to make me smile and laugh.

"Bye, Yuno. I love you too," I replied.

"Where's the 'big bro'?"

I'm pretty sure he's knotting his forehead now. I laughed at him.

"Sa next na. H'wag kang OA diyan." Natatawa kong binaba 'yung tawag saka nagtungo sa room namin.

I have a hectic schedule here. Hindi ko lubos akalain na halos whole day ako every monday, wednesday, and friday. We have 18 units, can't they divide it properly? Kami pang mga estudyante 'yung iipitin nila.

Gosh! If only I know I'm gonna face hell here, sana sa Xavier na lang ako nag-aral. I know they'll accept me there, duh.

Okay din sana kung may kaklase ako kina Jiyon, John, Andrea, at Faye. Pero kamalasan nga naman, ni isa, wala! It's only him! Dammit! Bakit kasi iba ibang kurso 'yung kinuha nila? Bakit ayaw nila ng engineering? Takot ba sila sa numero? E ako nga, big enemy ko noon 'yung mga numero pero ngayon best friends ko na sila.
