SIMULA "S-stop.." kasabay ng pagpasok ng kamay niya sa aking skirt ang pagkapit ko ng mahigpit sa aking table. "You want this, don't you?" mainit na bulong nito sa aking tainga. Sobrang kinakabahan ako, nasa school kami at walang hiya niyang ginagawa ito ngayon sa akin. Umiling ako sa tanong niya, nagpipigil ng ungol at baka may makarinig dahil lunch palang at mamaya kaunti ay darating na ang mga studyante ko. "P-please Mr. Fajardo, s-stop it" "Are you going to wear this skimpy skirt and sleeves again?" malamig nitong tanong. "H-hindi na" Umiling-iling ako para tigilan na niya ang ginagawa niya. Ngayon lang siya nakialam sa suot ko at hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit. Pencil skirt lang naman iyon at puting long sleeves. "Good. Don't make me mad again, Mrs. Fajardo, kung ayaw mong hagkan kita mismo dito sa classroom mo" napahinga ako nang tanggalin niya ang kaniyang kamay sa loob ng aking skirt. Seryoso ang gwapo nitong mukha na nakatingin sa akin habang ako ay pinamulahanan sa pisngi. Nagyuko ako para itago ang pagkapahiya. Kung makaasta siya ay parang mas matanda siya sa akin gayong guro niya ako at studyante ko lang siya. 'Asawa ka niya Serene!' Lumipas ang mga sandali nang tumahimik ito bigla. Tumingin ako dito pero wala na pala siya sa kinatatayuan niya. Huminga ako ng malalim dahil sa kaba. Paano kung may nakakita sa amin? Baka mawalan pa ako ng trabaho! -------------- I am Serene Galvez Fajardo, 25 years old, a Math Techear at University of Azet. And that cold, possessive and dominant Havoc Lance Fajardo is My Student, My Husband.
