For the rest of the afternoon, I felt eyes on me, hundreds of them.
Some curious. Some stunned. Some admiring. Some terrified.
But one pair followed me like a shadow.
Ryan.
With every building I entered, ramdam ko yung presensya niya.
With every corner I turned, naririnig ko yung faint echo ng footsteps na alam kong kilala ko.
May parang gustong sabihin ang katawan ko na hindi ko maintindihan—akala ko dati kailangan ko siya.
Ngayon, kailangan niya ako.
At yun ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ako pumipihit pabalik.
Hindi pa… but I knew this moment would come.
When classes ended, I walked toward one of the empty consultation rooms near the library—mahaba ang hallway, tahimik, at walang masyadong dumadaan. Perfect place to breathe.
Perfect place for confrontation.
Pagpasok ko, sinara
