--- in which, Alice Aleztrada met the reason and inspiration behind her success.
In short, she again, met her ex, Kiro Saavedra, and now, A Professor from the Compitetor University.
"ba't ba ang bitter niyang si Prof. Aleztrada, ha?" I heard the two students chuckling while I can feel their stares behind me.
"What can you do ladies? She's actually born like that." I turned my head sidewards, and boom, there he is, the devil has arrived. I want to tell him to get the fuck out again in my class, my school, my life but I can't especially, in front of my students.
"Hey, Aleztrada." Hindi ko siya pinansin at tinuloy parin ang pagsusulat ng mga notes sa board.
"Get the fuck out, Saavedra."
"Wanna know what was my reasons?" I turned my head to him.
What?
What Saavedra? Bibigyan mo ko ng closure in front of my students. Really, Saavedra?
"Come to Airport by nine, Aleztrada. I am not expecting you, being late. Not when you are the most perfect girl in the town, so act like it, Aleztrada. See ya."
Airport? What the fuck?
Really, Saavedra? Really?
Love is unpredictable. It makes you dream, makes you believe in forever-until it shatters you.
Sayra Dixit once believed in love. She believed in stolen glances, whispered confessions, and fairytales that ended in happily ever afters. But all those dreams crumbled the day she confessed her feelings to Rithvik Rajvansh-the school's cold, unattainable genius-and was brutally rejected.
Years passed, and Sayra buried the girl who once loved so openly. But fate had other plans. Now, she finds herself bound in an arranged marriage with the very man who broke her heart.
He is no longer the boy she once adored. And she is no longer the girl who waited for him to notice her. But then, why does his presence still send her heart racing? Why does her indifference feel like a punishment to him?
"I don't believe in love anymore."
"Then I'll teach you how to believe again."
