"Wala ka bang tiwala sa haba n'yan?"
We doubled over in laughter.
"Teka, may naisip din akong paglalagyan ng watermark," I said.
She rolled her eyes at me. "H'wag ka na, gaya-gaya ka, eh. O, sige na, pasok na ako at alam kong may klase ka pa, puro kabastusan na naman pinag-uusapan natin. Anong dinner natin mamaya?"
"Ako na ang magluluto," I told her. "Daming laman ng ref, eh. Ayoko namang masayang lang ang mga 'yun"
"Akala ko ako. Balak kasi kitang ipaghahanda ng kakaibang putahe."
I wiggled my brows at her. "Mukhang mas interesting 'yang recipe mo, magpapa-buffet ka ba?"
"Oo, eat all you can."
"Sige."
"Bawal magtira, ha..."
"Oo. Lahat ng pwedeng tirahin sa'yo titirahin ko."
She hit my arm with her fist. "Lalabs, sobrang bastos ka!"
"Ayaw mo?"
"Na masyado mo akong sini-sexualize? Of course, I love it. Gustung-gusto ko kayang nagpapabastos sa'yo."
"'Yan tayo, Mrs. Yu, eh."
"O, sige na at baka ma-late ka pa sa klase mo."
"See you later. I love you."
"I love you, too," she replied before tiptoeing to kiss me on the cheek.
"Gianna!" I heard someone call my wife's name out.
I turned around to find Gian smiling at both of us. "Musta, Redley?" he genially asked.
"Okay lang."
Classmates nga pala 'tong dalawang 'to...
"Cool," Gian said before he addressed my wife. "Anong nangyari sa'yo, classmate? Absent ka yata last week? Sayang 'yung additional .25 sa grade for perfect attendance."
"Oo nga, eh," Green answered. "May inayos lang. May pa-surprise exam ba?"
"Wala naman pero may group report. Anyway, I included you in my group, isinama ko na ang pangalan mo sa listahan."
Pabida-bida rin 'tong isang 'to, eh.
"Naku, salamat."
"'Tsaka, I have notes if you want to borrow them. Alam mo naman 'yung lectures ni Osalvo, napakahaba."
"Hala, thank you talaga. Mamaya ipa-photocopy ko," Green replied before she turned to me. "Sige na, Lalabs, at baka ma-late ka pa sa klase mo."
Pucha, Red, group report lang 'yun at notes, h'wag kang magseselos para kang tanga. 'Tsaka sabi ng asawa mo may girlfriend na raw 'yang si Gian...pero crush n'ya pa rin 'yan dati...she liked him even before she started liking me...
"Lalabs, okay ka lang ba?" I heard my wife ask.
I automatically smiled at her. "Oo, may iniisip lang."
Bakit nandito pa itong isang 'to at hindi pa pumasok sa classroom nila?
I took my wife's hand in mine before I brought it to my lips. "Text mo ako pagkatapos ng klase mo, okay?"
"Oo naman," she said wrapping her arms around my waist. "Miss na kita kaagad..." she added.
I enfolded her in a hug before kissing the top of her head. "Ako rin. O, sige na pasok ka na sa loob. I love you."
"I love you, too," she said before waving goodbye.
I watched her and Gian walk inside the classroom until they've taken their seats.
