Chapter 18

Ylaine’s POV

“What is love?” –Teacher.

At doon nagsimula ang kroo kroo sa paligid. Lahat kami natahimik. Ewan ko lang kung dahil ba sa naging interesado bigla ang mga kaklase ko sa topic namin sa TLE or what. Eh ako naman natahimik kasi sadya naman akong tahimik sa klase. Haha.

“Uhh, sir!” –President naming taga salo lahat ng tanong kapag walang nakakasagot.

“Yes, Miss Roxas?”

“Love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure.” –Pagrerecite nya habang hawak ang kanyang cellphone na may dictionary. Pwede naman pala yun.

“Very good, any other?” –Teacher

“SIR!” –Madami na nagtaasan kasi pwede pala mag-google. (Maraming hindi dala ang libro)

“Love can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment.”

“Love can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection.”

“Love may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.”

At madami pang nagsagot na kaklase ko na puro ginoogle.

“As you can see class, maraming meaning kayong naibigay at hindi lamang iyan. Siguro nga wala pa yang 1/4 sa daming meaning ng pagmamahal. Pero ang pagtutuunan natin ng pansin ay ang pagmamahal na hindi na bago sa inyo. What I mean class is the boy-girl relationship.”

Maraming nagkatinginang mga kaklase ko, halatang interesado eh. Dun lang magaling sa mga ganung bagay. Meron pang mga kaklase kong ngiting ngiti at abang na abang sa sasabihin pa ni sir.

“But before that class, what is dating?” Agad namang naglabasan ulit ng kanikanilang cellphone na may wifi or dictionary ang mga kaklase ko at paunahan makasagot.

“SIR!”

“Dating is a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by two people with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse.”

“Dating refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple.”

“Dating is when two people trying out a relationship and exploring whether they are compatible by going out together in public as a couple who may or may not yet be having sexual relations.”

“Very good. So, hindi ko alam kung aware ba kayo sa tradisyon ko, class?” –Ngiting ngiting sabi ng teacher namin. Nagkatinginan kaming lahat. Yung mga kaklase namin eh ngiting ngiti na mukhang ewan. May napa ‘Ohmygosh’ pa nga eh at Op na OP kami ngayon ni Ella.
