The Tranquility in You

Chapter: 5

Exam days na and proctor ako ng advising ni Jance. Before I went to the assigned room ay kinausap muna ako ni Jance.

"Hey, natanggap mo ba yung care package na pinadala ko?" He asked worriedly.

"So ikaw pala." I concluded. "How did you know?"

"Before I left ay napansin kong nag-iba ang aura mo and mukhang nanghihina ka na nun so I figured na you were overwhelmed by the work load kaya I decided to send a care package."

I nodded in amusement.

"Well thank you, nakatulong ang pinadala mo for me to recover."

"Umayos naman ang pakiramdam mo?" He asked kaya tumango ako. "Alright, sabay na tayo I need to talk to my class first."

We walked to the room at nagtakbuhan ang mga students sa upuan.

"Aba, Grey." Pag-puna ni Jance sa mga estudyante. "Takbuhan ah. Anyway, I came by to check on you and announce na next week na ang intrams kaya umayos kayo."

After he made a few more announcements ay nagpaalam na siya na aalis na siya.

"Okay, you have 1 hour to complete this exam. Be quiet and goodluck." I stated.

Matatalino ang mga batang ito, nahahalata ko yon. Jance is always very proud of these children.

"Ma'am Lalaina tinatanong ni Axel kung ano daw po kayo ni Sir Jance." Sigaw bigla ng isang student.

"Ahh friends kami ni sir." Nagtinginan naman sila na natatawa so I got their point. "Oh ano yan."

"Eh ma'am bagay po kasi kayo ni sir. Ang lakas ng chemistry niyo." Axel stated.

Axel was Jance's favorite, para silang magkapatid in a way.

"Naku hindi, nag hiheal na si sir ninyo. Huwag natin siyang madaliin sa mga ganung bagay."

"Ma'am healed na daw po siya." Saad ni Axel. "Sabi niya po ay ihanap ko siya dahil ready na daw po ulit siyang magmahal."

I was shocked since he didn't tell us na he was looking for someone already. I was really happy for him, it took him 3 and a half months to recover.

After exam week ay intrams na. Bukas na ito gaganapin and kasama ko si Jance at Oscar sa bahay for preparations. Kasali kasi si Jance sa Mr. Faculty na gaganapin rin after intrams kaya as early as now ay inaasikaso na namin. Kasama dapat namin si Ella kaso she was unavailable.

"Laina, anong mas bagay? Itong blue or red?" Oscar asked at sinapak siya ni Jance.

"Don't call her that, ako lang ang pwedeng tumawag sa kaniya ng ganiyan."

"Ang possessive naman ng best friend na toh!" Oscar complained. "So ano nga ang bagay kay Jance?"

"Hmm, blue. Hindi bagay sa kaniya ang red."

"Ahh akala ko kasi ikaw." He said.

"Ewan ko sa'yo." I said then took my instax to take a photo of them. "Cute."

I placed my camera down then went to prepare some snacks. Naghanda lang ako ng chips and coke.

"Guys, una na pala ako may ano.." Oscar looked at me then smiled. "I just need to be somewhere."

"Wag na nireject ka na. So ano yun, situationship na kayong dalawa ngayon?"

Hindi siya sinagot ni Oscar at nagmamadaling umalis.

"Ay ako na diyan, Laina." He said then tied two strings together. "Laina, may ano ka ba? Anong tawag dun? Glue gun!"

"Wala eh, hindi ako pinapayagan nina mommy na gumamit ng glue gun kasi napaso ako dati nung bata so I developed a trauma."

"Ay ganon? Okay, iuuwi ko na lang ito tapos sa bahay ko itutuloy. Sound good?"

"Go lang."
