I was sitting by the window, watching the tree outside and looking at the leaves falling from it. I believe there is still an hour until class ends today.
It's starting to get dark outside. I returned my focus to the front to listen to the person speaking. Time flew by, and the class was about to end.
Tumingin ako sa relos na suot-suot ko. Five...four...three...two...and
"Class dismissed. See you next meeting." Finally. Last class ko na for today, and it's Ms. Casabueno's subject. The last time I saw her was in the club. For the past few days, I've been receiving food from her. Lagi niyang ipinaabot kay Macey or Paulo. Mine- message ko naman siya if may natatanggap ako. Just a simple thank you message.
"Lucy.." Tawag pansin sa akin ni Professor. Sandali akong tumingin kay Gianne at tumango para mauna na siyang umalis.
"Yes, Professor?" Tanong ko, tumingin tingin muna siya sa paligid.
"Puwede ba tayo mag usap?" Medyo pabulong nitong tanong sa akin. Tumango lang ako at umupo nalang ulit. Hinintay namin makalabas lahat ng estudyante. Ng makalabas na ang lahat ay nilapitan ko na siya.
"Professor, ano pong pag uusapan na'tin?"
"Uhm, about last time sa club." Oh. Does she even remember what happened? "Salamat sa paghatid sa amin ni Andrea. Sorry for causing you trouble."
"It's okay, Professor. I'm actually glad to see you having fun. You should do that often, basta magtira ka ng pang uwi mo." Nakangiting sagot ko sa kanya.
"Pasensya ka na talaga sa amin ha." I gently nodded my head, still smiling at her. "Gusto mo bang mag dinner sa bahay ngayon?"
"Uh, maybe next time, Professor." I would love to have dinner with them. Gusto ko kasi ang luto ni Professor, ang problema lang ay may lakad kaming apat nila Macey ngayon. "Promise."
"Promise ha. Sige, ingat ka pauwi."
"You too, Professor. Mauna na po ako." Paalam ko sa kanya at naglakad na palayo.
"Lucifer." Bago ko pa mabuksan ang pintuan palabas ay tinawag niya ulit ako kaya naman humarap ako sa kanya. "I don't regret it."
Don't regret what?
"I'm sorry, Professor, what's that?"
"I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable. I'm sorry if I violated you, hindi ko sinasadya. Alam kong mali yung ginawa ko, at kung magagalit ka sa'kin, maiintindihan ko. Pero ng malaman ko na ikaw yun, I never regretted it, even for a second"
Oh. It's totally fine with me.
"It's okay, Professor. I'm not angry at you. You're drunk, and I understand that. May mga bagay talaga tayong nagagawa pag nakainom. Wala namang problema sa akin yan, Professor. Mabuti nalang din ako yung nahalikan mo, siguro kung ibang tao yun baka kung ano pang gawin sa'yo. Mag iingat ka lang din sa susunod, ha? We're good, Professor. Don't worry about it too much."
We are okay, Katrina. Don't confuse me. Let's stay where we are, as friends.

Naandito ako ngayon sa kendo practice room at waiting para sa sparring session with one of the kendo member.
Actually, ayaw ko siyang kalabanin. Madalas kasi pikon siya at laging nagagalit ng walang dahilan. Hindi ako sure if inis or may personal na problem ba siya sa akin, as fas as I know hindi naman kami close nito. Ewan ko ba dito kay sensei at lagi kami ang pinagtatapat nito.
