"Class, dismissed." I said and cleared the things that I wrote on the white board.
Nagsilabasan naman sila at naiwan si Angel. Napatingin ako sa girl friend niya at ngumiti naman ito. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil mukhang hindi na ito nagtatanim ng galit sa akin.
"Do you have questions regarding our topic, Mister Cañete?" I asked formally and stopped fixing the papers that is needed on the office.
"Uhm... please talk to me as your friend, not as your student." Aniya na ikinagulat ko naman.
We don't have a lot of interactions that's why. I nod and he sighed.
"How are you? Nililigawan ka pa rin ba ni kuya? Sinasaktan ka ba niya?" Aniya sa tonong nagaalala at napatawa naman ako ng mahina.
"I am totally fine now and the truth is.. balak ko na talagang sagutin ang kuya mo last week noong dumating si mom pero mukhang pagod siya at hindi ako nakahanap ng tiyempo. Maybe later? Tingin mo? Is it a good time?"
Napakamot naman siya ng ulo at umiling iling agad.
"I don't know. What if I am courting you too? Is that alright?" Aniya at nagulat naman ako. Napangiti na lang ako, I know he didn't mean it.
"You're my student and like a brother to me, Angel. You know that. And your brother already own my heart. You'll find a girl, eventually." I said to assure him and gave him a hug.
He hugged me back but he looked sad. Tinap ko ang likod niya at napapangiti. Napabitaw lang ako sa kaniya nang nasa may pintuan na ng room si Darko.
Kumunot ang noo ko dahil hindi na ba siya nakapaghintay sa parking lot para sunduin pa ako?
"Sinasabi ko na nga ba!" Aniya at lumapit sa amin.
Hinila niya ako kay Angel at napatawa naman ako sa reaksiyon niya dahil mukhang malungkot pa rin si Angel.
"Why do you keep hugging my brother while you can't even hug me back sometimes?" He said with his hooded eyes.
"Nakukulangan ka sa ginagawa ko?" Pagbibiro ko at agad naman siyang umiling ng mabilis.
"Una na ako, kuya, ate." Ani ni Angel at nginitian ko naman siya. Tumango lang si Darko.
Niyakap niya ako bigla nang makalabas na si Angel.
"Damn, you really know how to turn the tables huh." He said and then he helped me taking the papers to the office because he carried it all.
Napapatingin ang ibang estudyante na nakakasalubong namin at karamihan dito ay mga babae. Wala naman akong ginawa dahil totoo namang agaw pansin ang suit and tie niya rito sa hallway. Ang laki niya pa at maskulado kahit pa naka tuxedo ay halata.
We went straight to my apartment because he told me he'll cook for me.
While on the way to my apartment, I saw Cd's car in a parking lot of some restaurant and I suddenly missed him. He's been a good friend to me and he helped me a lot. Maybe we should hang out some other time when our schedule is not tight.
"Don't you think you need a bigger apron? Mine is too small for you but you keep on using it." I said while tying it on his upper waist.
"I like what's yours. I like to wear this blue apron. Akin na 'to ngayon, sayo yung pink." He said with a smirk on his lips.
He will cook a pasta as I requested. I was about to help but he told me not to and just rest while waiting.
Naka tank top na lang siya ngayon na puti at visible ang tattoo niya sa likod at ang sa dibdib niya ay talagang nakakabagbag ng damdamin. Hindi ko akalaing gagawin niya iyon. At nang makita ko rin ang daliri niya na mayroong pangalan ko.
