KOLE UNIVERSITY

Kailangan kong mag focus despite of what happened. Aim your goal Bernadette and relax. Nag lalakad ako ngayon papunta sa classroom ng makita ko si Marco. Nilapitan ko siya, syempre surprisa haha I creep behind his back and wrapped my arms to him. I felt his embrace while grooving just like dancing without music. Well our hearts plays the melody that goes with the rythm. Humarap na siya sa akin...

"Babe, you know that you still owe me something?" tanong niya sa akin, sa nangyari wala na talaga akong maalala.

"Do I?" kaya tinatanong ko siya and he nods molding his brightest smile. Nagulat nalang ako when our lips collide and goes in their rythm slow and passionate. Humiwalay siya sa akin saka hinalikan yung noo ko at niyakap ulit. His gestures help me out of burden. I cuddle him. Buti nalang sa ibang hallway ako dumaan kaya walang tao dito madalas kasi music hall ito kapag binuksan yung pinto. Hanggat maaari mapanatili yung katahimikan sa area na ito.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" tanong ko kay Marco.

"I was waiting for someone," he stated and I just nodded.

"I got to get going babe, I don't want to be late for class. See tou later after my duty," aniya ko

"Su-sure I'll wait you sa parking lot," sabi niya sa akin. I hug him for the last time and passed through the hallway.

CLASSROOM

"Everyone I received a notice about our current prof in this subject. He not feeling well and needs a further treatment. Anyways this is Lorenzo Cruz our Senior and he will be guiding us to cope in this subject," pakilala niya kay Lori.

"Nice to meet you people," bati niya sa lahat. "I am related with Mr. Palmas and tasked to help you guys with these," paliwanag pa ni Lori. Natapos na ang introduction at napag usapan kung anu-ano yung mga kinakailangan para ma fulfill ang subject na ito. Although pwede naman na magkaroon ng substitute teacher pero patapos naman na kami kailangan nalang makapagpasa ng mga unfinished activities and such.

"Nadi!" tawag sa akin

"Lori!" bati ko sa kaniya

"I know what happened to your parents, how are they?" pag aalala niya

"How did you know? Anyways they are still inside ICU" saad ko sa kay Lorenzo

"My Uncle was also involved in that accident. Magkakasunod daw yung mga sasakyan nila sa highway and when we say highway continuous yung mga vehicle pwera nalang kung may tolls. The truck driver was drunk driving and that's how it ended. The truck driver was caught dead while my umcle and your parents are in critical condition. But I know they wi~" aniya but our conversation was interupted by a phone call.

"Yes I'm on my way Sir," nag mamadaling sabi niya sa kabilang linya. Natapos yung call at humarap sa akin.

"I need to go Nadi, Uncle needs me," saad niya sa akin kaya tumango nalang ako.

Lumipas ang oras at natapos na din yung shift ko. Dadaretso na ako sa ospital para dalawin sina Nanay at Tatay.

"Excuse me you're Bernadette right?" tanong sa akin ng babae.

"Yes po," sagot ko sa kaniya. She smiled at me.

"Hi! I'm Klein Johnson, Marco's friend." pakilala niya sa akin sabay abot ng kamay niya sa akin.

"Hi! Bernadette Smith," saad ko sa kaniya.

"I'm here to give you this," abot niya sa akin ng isang kulay Rosas na kahon. Kinuha ko iyon at nagpasalamat.

"Marco gave that to me. Anyways I need to get going. Bye!" sabi pa niya. Binuksan ko yung binigay ni Klein sa akin. Nakapatong sa sandamakmak na Pink na Roses ang isang chocolate na naka imprinted yung note niya sa akin. Find your heart cause I already found where mine is, babe I love you...

Napangiti naman ako sa nabasa ko. Napalingon ako sa paligid ko at doon ko napansin na sa isang kotseng white naka tayo si Klein kasama ang isang lalaking morenong matangkad. Pareho silang naka ngiti sa akin habang hawak nila ang lalagyan na heart shaped Ferrero Rocher na chocolate. Hindi ko maipaliwanag pero sobrang saya ko ngayon at hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti at maluha. Tinawag nila ako at pinasakay sa loob ng sasakyan. Nag tungo kami sa stop over sa isang highway. Huminto ang sasakyan at pinababa nila ako dito sa madilim at walang katao taong parking lot. Nagulat ako ng biglang nagliwanag ang isang pickup truck. At alam ko na kung sino ang may pakana.
