Aizen
Days had passed at ngayon ay July na. I would say to myself that I hate my birthday that is coming nearer but who am I to fool? I never hated it. I just...hate how that special day makes me feel that I am really alone.
"Yitsoel, you are spacing out again on my class." I snapped out when I heard his voice.
"I am not," I replied and looked at the board. It was completing a square and I kinda make a face. Although I hate this subject, I still have enough knowledge for this.
"Then answer what's written on the board." I stand up and get a piece of chalk.
x²+3x-18= 0
x²+3x= 18
1/2 (3)= 3/2→ (3/2)²= 9/4
x²+3x+9/4= 18+9/4
x²+3x+9/4= 72/4+9/4→ x²+3x+9/4= 81/4
(x+3/2)²= 81/4
x+3/2= ±√81/4
x+3/2= ±9/2
x+3/2= 9/2 or x+3/2= -9/2
x+3/2-3/2= 9/2-3/2 or x+3/2-3/2= -9/2-3/2
x= 6/2 or x= -12/2
x= 3 or x= -6
Umupo ako nang matapos kong sagutan ang equation sa board.
Everyone is silent with their jaw dropped. When I looked at him, I don't know but I saw a smile crept on its lips but when I blinked, it was gone. Or am I just imagining things?
He looked at everyone and started discussing again. As he dissmissed the class, I hurriedly went to the cafeteria and bought something to eat.
I was walking towards my dorm when someone pulled my hand and I am surprised to see who it was.
"Sir Eudler!" I shockingly said.
He wasn't smiling neither he wasn't mad or angry. His face was blank that made him looks superior in my eyes. He's an eye-catching to everyone, no wonder why young girls are falling for his charms.
"Come with me." Hindi pa man ako nakakaangal ay nahila na niya ako. Gladly, wala kaming mga nadaanang estudyante dahil kung hindi, samu't-saring lait at husga na naman ang matatanggap ko.
That's how people live. They won't live without judging others or insulting them with their painful words.
Tsaka lang ako nabalik sa ulirat nang makita ko ang office ni sir. What are we going to do here?
"Sir, teka lang ha. Bakit mo ba ako hinihila at ano namang gagawin natin sa office mo? If I am not mistaken, I didn't do anything stupid in your cla—" He cut me off.
"Just shut up." Duh! So bossy.
He let my arm free as he gets the key inside his pocket.
Inserting it the doorknob and I am surprised to see what's inside... A cake and a balloons!
"Next week is your birthday right? Sorry if I can't do this surprise on your exact date. I have schedules there and—" Hindi ko na siya pinatapos dahil niyakap ko siya nang mahigpit. Naiiyak ako. And so my tears started dripping down my eyes. This is my first time to be surprised in my birthday. First time na may mag-abalang bumili ng cakes and balloons para sa akin. And that first time happened with someone na hindi ko ineexpect na magsu-surprise sa akin.
"Thank you. Thank you, sir!" I cried in happiness. My tears making his clothes wet doesn't seems bother him so I hugged him tighter as I felt his arms snaked on my waist.
I felt my heart beats faster tham its normal beat. At...naririnig ko rin ang napakalakas na kabog ng dibdib nito. It's like our hearts beat in rhythm.
"You are welcome..." His voice were soothing and relaxing that everyone might wish to hear.
"Let's eat," he said and pulled me as he made me sit down on one of his single sofa. I saw how he locked his door and went to his, wait—is that kitchen set?! Kailan pa siya nagkaroon non? Napatingin ako sa tapat ko and my eyes widen. There is a round table here. Mas lalo tuloy itong nagmukhang bahay para sa akin. Kulang na lang ay magkaroon na ito ng isa pang room for his bedroom.
Nag-sliced siya ng two pieces of chocolate cake at inilagay sa maliit na platito.
"Happy birthday, Aizen." Those words...those words are one of the thing I wish back then.
"Bakit...?" I asked out of nowhere.
"Bakit ano?" he respond as he took a forky bite of his cake.
"Bakit mo ito ginagawa? This is far beyond a student and a teacher relationship. T-This is all news to me. Hindi ko naman hiniling na gawin mo ito," naguguluhan kong saad. He just stared at me for a while.
As if searching something from my face that made me kinda embarrassed. May dumi ba ako sa mukha? He stared too much!
"You said it all. Hindi mo ito hiniling and I am doing this not because you wish for it but because I want you to feel it. Stop cursing your life. Nasa mga tao sa paligid mo kung paano ka nila pasasayahin at kung paano nila gagawing enjoyable ang buhay mo but do not lean on them too much. Sometimes, you have yourself when you got none." My heart jumps a bit sa mga salitang binitawan niya.
His words, his deeds, his... gestures. If I'll not stop myself, I might fall for him.
Who wouldn't fall for him? No one would fall for him because he had all the traits, a person would love to get and to be with.
I guess, my first time wasn't bad at all. Or was it?
