Illicit Affair (GxG)

Chapter 9

"Viv's."

"Okay, I'll be riding with you guys since ang tahimik niyo lalo na pag si Esmé at Solana ang kasama niyo." Ms. Beliciana said while pointing at me and Ms. Vivien, that statement alone earned a chuckle from me dahil totoo nga naman.

"Tch." Ms. Solana hissed bago pumunta sa likod ng Van ni Ms. Vivien to probably put her things, nagsimula na rin kaming maghanda para sa byahe dahil dalawang oras pa bago kami makarating roon.

"Yow, Khio. Sure ka ba na okay ka lang do'n? you can transfer naman para magkasama tayo nitong cousin mo." Maevis was the one who approached me first while the Professors were busy with putting their stuff on the trunk.

"Magkakilala na pala kayo?"

"Yep, kinausap niya ako kanina when I entered the Van. Close na nga kami o!" Sabay hila niya sa balikat ni Ely at inakbayan pa ito.

"I'm not in the mood with all your jokes, Maevis!"

Mukhang aso't pusa pa silang dalawa, jusko parang magulo ata sila sa van pag silang dalawa ang magkasama.

"Ganyan lang talaga si Maevis, pagpasensyahan mo na Ely." Natatawa kong saad as I watch them run around the circles dahil hindi mahampas hampas ni Elyzra yung hinahabol niya.

A few seconds have passed at tawang tawa naman na tumigil si Maevis sa kakatakbo dahil nahablot ni Elyzra ang laylayan ng damit niya. "Peace na nga, eto naman!"

"I swear I'll kill you if you won't stop joking pag nasa loob na tayo ng van!"

"Hindi nga! Pramis!"

Bago pa man mahampas ni Ely si Maevis ay narinig naman kami na may tumikhim sa gilid and it showed Ms. Taylor na nakatitig kay Maevis, her brow raising at her.

"Are you gonna get in or iiwanan namin kayo?" She asked in annoyance, agad naman kumilos ang dalawa and bid their goodbyes at me before entering Ms. Taylor's van. Habang ako naman ay tumalikod na rin para pumasok sa van namin.

"Sit here." It was Ms. Solana na naka shades na while her back was leaning on the seat, nasa front row kasi ito at tinuro niya pa kung saan ako uupo, sa likod ng driver's seat at nasa may bintana rin.

I looked around at nasa likuran namin si Ms. Alarcon habang si Ms. Beliciana ay nasa passenger's seat katabi ni Ms. Vivien. Matapos no'n ay tuluyan na nga ako pumasok at tinabihan ang magandang propesora.

Naunang umandar ang sasakyan nila Ms. Taylor bago ito sinundan ni Ms. Vivien, at nagsimula na nga ang byahe namin papunta sa La Union.

"You guys won't mind if I play something right?"

Ngayon ko lang napansin na may dala palang Ukelele si Ms. Beliciana, she's a music professor nga pala.. no wonder she knows how to play one.

"I saw that twinkle in your eyes, darling. That means it's a yes right?"

I just nodded at her as she started strumming the strings to play some music.

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I looked at Ms. Solana to see if she was listening, the first stanza is quite fitting to what she had told me at the park, so I was curious to see what her reaction would be.

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need 'em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
