The Arrogant Professor is My Husband

C H A P T E R 3:

Cassandra POV

Matapos ang naging usapan noong nakaraang pagdalaw ng mga Dewisht sa bahay ay nag proceed na sila sa pagpaplano ng kasal. It is a church wedding, hindi ko alam kung sino ang mga pupunta dahil wala akong balak sumali sa preparation ng kasal. Sa Friday na ang kasal at malapit na iyon dahil Monday na ngayon.

"Mii tulala ka nanaman, iniisip mo pa rin ba iyong kasal mo?"

"Hindi iyon mawawala sa isip ko Ashley dahil sa Friday na ito. Alam mo namang ayoko pa ikasal."

"Mii wala ka ng kawala, hindi mo na iyon matatakasan."

"Bahala na kung anong mangyayari."

"Anyways Mii, I just heard na iba na language professor natin."

Sasagutin ko palang sana si Ashley ng pumasok ang aming language professor.

"Good morning everyone, I am Ashton Luire Dewisht. Last Friday I didn't meet you because of the emergency meeting."

What the hell!! Bakit siya pa ang professor ko?

Bigla akong kinalabit ni Ashley.

"Mii your fiance right? Siya iyong sinabi mo last week noong nag usap tayo pagkatapos ng family gathering niyo."

"Yes Ashley and huwag mong lakasan at baka marinig ka."

Diin kong sabi sa kanya.

Buti na lang dito kami sa dulo umupo kaya hindi masyong naririnig ng ibang classmates namin ang aming pinag uusapan.

"Who's your class president?"

"Si Cassandra Villafuente po sir."

Hindi pala ako nakita ni Ashton kaya bigla siyang tumingin sa gawi namin ni Ashley. Nakatingin rin kasi ang iba naming classmates kaya nakita agad kami ni Ashton. Hindi niya inexpect na ditong section ako kabilang. Nahati kasi sa tatlong section ang fourth year tourism students.

"Miss Villafuente, simula ngayon ikaw ang representative ng klase niyo. You will be responsible sa pag pass ng assignments and projects sa office ko."

"Yes sir."

"Report to my office after class, I will give you work to do this week. I may not be around dahil maraming akong aasikasuhin with my wedding."

I gasp when I heard him say that, pati ang mga classmates ko ay halatang na dismaya sa narinig. It's obvious that they like him, and I won't deny the fact that Ashton is charismatic.

"Sir kailan po ang kasal niyo?"

"On Friday, anyway si miss Villafuente na ang bahalang magbigay sa inyo ng mga ipapagawa ko."

"Sir pwede po ba kaming umattend sa kasal niyo?"

"No, it's a private wedding kaya hindi pwede. Kung wala ng tanong, goodbye class."

Pagka alis ni Ashton ay hinila ako palabas ni Ashley, nagpahila na lamang ako.

"Alam mo Mii bagay kayo ni sir."

Tinignan ko siya ng masama. Alam niyang ayoko sa taong iyon dahil isa siya sa problema ko.

"Hahaha, ngumiti ka naman Mii. Hindi ka na mabiro." "Ano order mo, ako na bibili."

"Blueberry ade at cheesecake na lang Mii, thank you."

Umalis na si Ashley para umorder ng pagkain namin at ako naman, I'm browsing in my social media. I was replying my brother's message when I recieved a notification informing me that Ashton Luire Dewisht send me a friend request sa lahat ng social media platform.

I just ignored it, bahala siya sa buhay niya.

"Here is your order Mii."

"Ang bilis mo naman yata?"

"Aba pasalamat ka na lang dahil pina una ako ng mga juniors, sa haba ng pila aabutin ako ng 30 minutes kakahintay."

"Ohh, I thought you threaten them."

Pabiro kong sabi sabay tawa.

"Mii pasalamat ka gutom ako dahil kung hindi sasapakin kita."

Tumawa na lang ako dahil sa kanyang sinabi.

Sa mga hindi nakaka alam, si Ashley ay may gusto sa kuya ko. They're compatible naman, maganda, mabait at mayaman si Ashley ganun din si kuya. Ang problema nga lang ay magkaiba sila ng ugali. Si kuya seryoso palagi, pero itong si Ashley ay medyo maloko, lukaret. Maikli ang pasensya ng kuya ko kay Ashley but I can see it with my both eyes iyong tingin ng kuya ko kay Ashley, they have a future together. My brother is 30 years old while Ashley is 23 years old.

"Pupunta ako sa office ni kuya mamaya, sasama ka ba?"

"Talaga? Sige sasama ako."

Nakita ko ang kinang sa mata ng kaibigan ko. I can't stop smiling dahil konti na lang magiging pamilya ko na si Ashley, I always dream having a sister. Konting push lang sa kuya ko bibigay din iyon.

"So anong balak mo Mii, ikakasal ka na."

"Ganun pa rin, itutuloy ko ang pangarap ko. Wala akong pakealam sa kasal na iyan, kahit pa malaman ng lahat na ikakasal ako sa lalaking iyon. Wala akong pakealam, sa papel lang naman kami kasal."

"Hindi mo ba siya susubukang kilalanin?"

"Wala akong balak kasi after a year, I planned to divorce him."

Syaka I don't even like him, he's too arrogant, think highly of himself.

Alam kong pagkatapos ng kasal ay ipapa alam nila sa buong mundo na kasal kami. Two powerful family united to become one. That would be a talk of the town for a week or so. But I need to stop them, hindi pwedeng may maka alam na kasal kami, I won't allow it.

"I hope you'll be okay Mii. Basta ako maid of honor sa kasal niyo."

"Oo naman, eh sino pa ba at syaka si kuya daw Best man."

Namula si Ashley sa sinabi ko, kinikilig nanaman to panigurado.

Buti na lamang at andito si Ashley dahil kung hindi? Mababaliw ako sa kakaisip ng mga nangyari at mga pwede pang mangyari.

"Tara na Mii, next class na natin."

"Let's go."

Napahaba pala ang paglagi namin dito sa cafeteria dahil hindi ko napansin na tapos na ang aming spare time.

"Hello Tourism student, I am Prof Ace Engelbert your Risk Management professor."

"Sir bago ka lang po ba dito?"

"Yes, miss?"

"Sharmaine Yu po sir."

"Yes I am new because I'm a fresh graduate from this university also. Anymore questions?"

"Wala na po sir."

"Well then, what is risk management? Anyone?"

Nagtaas ako agad ng kamay.

"Yes miss?"

"Cassandra Villafuente sir."

"I'm sorry for my negligence of your names, I'll try to remember and memorize your names. Okay proceed."

"Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and controlling threats to an organization's capital and earnings. These risks stem from a variety of sources, including financial uncertainties, legal liabilities, technology issues, strategic management errors, accidents and natural disasters. A successful risk management program helps an organization consider the full range of risks it faces. Risk management also examines the relationship between risks and the cascading impact they could have on an organization's strategic goals. This holistic approach to managing risk is sometimes described as enterprise risk management because of its emphasis on anticipating and understanding risk across an organization. In addition to a focus on internal and external threats, enterprise risk management (ERM) emphasizes the importance of managing positive risk. Positive risks are opportunities that could increase business value or, conversely, damage an organization if not taken. Indeed, the aim of any risk management program is not to eliminate all risk but to preserve and add to enterprise value by making smart risk decisions."

"Very good miss Villafuente, I hope alam niyo na itong lahat." "Okay so, we don't manage risks so we can have no risk. We manage risks so we know which risks are worth taking, which ones will get us to our goal, which ones have enough of a payout to even take them."

"We have four main risk management strategies, or risk treatment options: Risk acceptance, Risk transference, Risk avoidance and Risk reduction. I want you to research about this and make a report. You are all 21 in your section so group yourselves into 4 groups."

Nagtaas ng kamay ang iba naming classmates.

"Sir kailan po ang report?"

"On Wednesday, and students I know all of you may have encountered one of the risk I mentioned. Risk avoidance, in life it is a decision to avoid a risky events. Can someone give me an example?"

"Sir, I'm Yanna Azure."

"Okay, you may proceed."

"Risk avoidance, in love when we find something that might hurt us, we purposely avoid that something or someone na magiging cause ng heartbreak or pain. That is a risk avoidance because we know that we can take a risk for that person we love but because we know that it will hurt us then we put an end to it."

"Thank you miss Azure, well said. That's all for today. Goodbye class."

Pagkalabas na pagkalabas ni sir Engelbert ay lumapit ang apat naming classmates.

"Cassandra, Ashley pwede ba kaming maki grupo sa inyo?"

"Sure walang problema, dba Cass?"

"Yeah. Add na lang kayo ni Ashley sa group chat at doon natin pag usapan ang mga gagawin."

"Sige thank you."

Mga classmates namin na sina Kiesha, Rowelyn, Aemie and Sandra ang ka grupo namin ni Ashley at walang problema doon dahil kilala na namin silang masipag at pursigido.

"You know Ash, you can take a risk for Kuya, because you can never avoid him lifetime."

"Risking is not good for me Cass. Kaya shut up ka na muna. "

Pinapahirapan ni Ashley ang sarili, ayaw niyang magpatalo that's why hahayaan ko muna silang dalawa ni kuya na gumawa ng paraan para sa kanila.

"Tara na Ashley sa office ni kuya, wala na tayong next subject."

"Let's go!!!"

"You're too hyper Ashley, take it down."

"Excited akong bwisitin ang kuya mo kaya tara na at dadaan pa tayo sa coffee shop, bilhan natin siya ng meryenda."

Natatawa nalng ako sa kalokohan ng kaibigan ko.
