Days passed by too fast when you're happy. Days passed by too slow when you're sad. In my case, I am beyond happiness kaya naman hindi ko na namalayan na third year college na pala kami at mag OOJT na.
My Dad is finally okay. Mukhang nasobrahan lang siya sa trabaho. Kami naman ni Sir, este, Gab ay okay din. We would sneak out silently and do our intimate things.
"Dad, are you sure it's okay to leave you here? Marami namang food manufacturers dito sa atin." Nag-aalala kong suhestyon kay Daddy.
He's watching me as I packed up my things. Bukas na ang alis namin. Sir, well, Gab, he already filed something to our school. He's no longer my prof.
"Just take care, hija. Wag mo kong bibigyan ng sakit ng ulo at baka lumipad pa ako pa-Maynila." Napangisi ako sa sinabi ni Daddy saka mahigpit siyang niyakap.
First time naming magkakalayong dalawa. Plus, he's getting old. Gustuhin ko man na umalis na si Daddy bilang mayor ay alam kong parang inalis ko na rin ang kasiyahan niya.
"Take care too, Dad. Don't stress yourself too much, 'kay?" He let out a small laugh and kissed me on the top of my head.
Kinaumagahan ay maaga akong nagising dahil maaga rin ang alis namin. I brought one big luggage, one big backpack, and a small sling bag. I wore a black skinny jeans and white shirt.
Mahigpit kong niyakap si Daddy bago sumakay sa van namin. May nirentahang bus ang BSU para ihatid kami sa Maynila.
I saw my classmates who are all excited for the OJT. Of course, who wouldn't want to have fun?
Sa apartment ako ni Andy tutuloy. Mayroon pa kasing vacant room doon na pwede kong rentahan. I want to learn life the hard way. I am no longer the Mayor's daughter in Manila. I am just a nobody.
Halos sampung oras mahigit ang byahe namin. Gab would fetch me from where we will be dropped off. First sem palang, wala na si Sir Gab sa BSU. Miss na miss ko na talaga siya.
Nakarating kami sa Manila around six in the evening. Agad kong nakita si Gab nakasandal sa kanyang blue Mazda. Wow! Mukhang rich kid to ah!
"Si Sir Lacson!" Narinig kong hiyawan ng ilan sa mga kaklase ko.
"Hindi na natin yan Sir!" Napairap ako ng marinig ito galing sa iilan ko pang mga kaklase.
Agad silang tumulak palapit kay Gab. Bitches! Walang yayakap sa future ko!
"Hi, Sir!" I saw Gab smiled while his eyes directly went on me.
"Hindi niyo na ako Sir. Gab will do." Mas lalong lumakas ang mga tili nila.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito, Gab?" Napailing ako sa maarteng tanong ni Fiona. Agad silang inasar ng mga kaklase namin.
"Sinusundo si Donna." Sabay-sabay nila akong nilingon habang hila-hila ang aking malaking maleta.
As I went near him, I heard them hissed. Tumingkayad ako para maabot ang kanyang pisngi. I planted a soft kiss.
Maamo akong tiningnan ni Gab. "Hungry? Let's go grab dinner, you possessive girl." He chuckled on my ear.
Sabay naming nilingon ang mga kaklase ko. I saw bitterness on Fiona's face. Tumikhim na lang ako.
"Wag na kayong umasa pa kay Gab! May Donna na pala yan eh! Hanap na lang iba!" Jerard said then winked at me.
Gab motioned me to slid inside his car. Tumango siya sa dati niyang mga estudyante bago pumasok sa kanyang sasakyan.
"That's illegal!" I even heard Fiona said.
"Hindi na nga natin yun prof! Ano bang illegal diyan eh hindi naman nag take ng exam for teachers yang si Gab! Hinire lang siya dahil kapos sa tao!" Naiinis na sigaw ni Ella kay Fiona.
Mabilis nang pinaandar ni Gab ang kanyang sasakyan. Inis akong humalukipkip.
"That bitch likes you!" I groaned in frustration.
Naramdaman ko ang kamay ni Gab sa hita ko. Kunot-noo ko itong tiningnan. "Calm down. I'm all yours." Nanunuya niyang saad.
"You better be!" I angrily warned him. He chuckled and drove near a restaurant.
Hinayaan ko na si Gab na mag order para sa amin. I silently sat on my chair while staring at Gab as he states our orders.
"How's acads?" I asked him right after the waiter left us.
"Usual." He shrugged his shoulders and grab my hand on the top of the table.
"God! I miss you." He whispered. I felt like my face turned red about his sudden confession.
"I...miss you...too." I warmly said. "Finally we're free to go out." I added.
Ngumuso ito dahil sa sinabi ko. "Free to do intimate things in public." He said teasing me.
Agad kong hinila palayo ang aking kamay. "PDA! Didn't know you want that."
Humalakhak ito at saka umiling sa akin. "I want to do every single romantic thing with you, Donna."
I bit my lower lip. God! "Nag-aral ka lang ulit ganyan ka na."
Natahimik lamang kami ng dumating na ang order namin. Inilapag ang steak at red wine.
"This is one of my fave resto here." He said after slicing my steak and giving me my plate.
"I've been to Manila before when I was young. Wala akong alam dito." I chuckled.
"You'll know every single place here with me...and our memories together." Ngayon ay mas lumakas ang kanyang tawa dahil sa pamumula ko.
"God! You're so cute everytime I'm making your heart flutter."
Natapos ang dinner namin ng may ngiti sa mga labi. Pakiramdam ko ay hindi steak ang kinain namin kundi sandamakmak na mga chocolates.
"You don't want to stay at my condo?"
I shook my head. I want to deal with my life through the hard way. Magandang offer iyon dahil magkasama kami pero alam ko rin naman na magagaanan na naman ako sa buhay.
"I'm okay with my apartment na. I want to learn a lot of things too." I honestly told him.
Nang makarating kami sa aking apartment ay hinatid niya pa ako hanggang sa may kwarto ko. Maliit lang iyon pero may lutuan na at banyo.
"Parang condo na rin naman, diba." I told Gab while he's busy looking around my room.
Naisip ko na halos same lang naman sa condo, mas malaki at mahal lang ang condo kaya dito na lang ako sa tipid. May isang kama, mesa, lutuan, cabinet at maliit na banyo.
Inayos ko na ang mga damit ko. Gab helped me organized my things.
"Do you want me to buy you a television? Or aircon?" I shook my head.
Hindi ko rin naman kasi iyon magagamit kaya tinanggihan ko na.
"I'll be busy with my OJT. Sayang lang yung pera mo. Besides, I'm okay here. Nasa kabilang room lang si Andy-" I was cut off by his harsh reaction.
"What?!" He unbelievably said.
"Calm down! He's inlove with Charm!" I assured him.
He calmed down and nodded. "Can I sleep here for tonight?"
