My Sweet Gulf (Completed)

Gulf's POV

Nahalata ko na parang nainis siya sa kausap niya sa phone. Sino naman kaya tatawag sa akin eh konti lang may alam ng number ko.

"Bakit alam ng prof mo number mo and why the hell he is calling you KANA?"

Alam kong galit siya sa tono ng tanong niya sa akin.

"Maybe sa registration baby. Nilagay ko contacts ko dun."
Hindi ko rin alam bakit kailangan tumawag ni Sir Tul. "And about sa Kana, he said Kanawut sounds cute maybe that's why."

"Why is he acting like a friend? He is your professor Gulf"
Okay, he called me Gulf, it means he is seriously not in the mood.

" Maybe because he is young kaya he's trying to blend with his students"

"Exactly, students. Dapat itrato kayo na students."  Bakit parang galit na galit siya. I wonder what did Sir Tul told him.

"Ano ba sabi niya baby?"

"Bakit curious ka malaman? He even addressed himself as Tul, not even Sir Tul."

"Hindi ko alam. Maybe he's just friendly that's why."

"Tss."

Galit nga talaga siya. Ayaw ko na lang sumagot pa kasi andito din ang mga kaibigan namin.  Nakakahiya naman mag-away pa kami sa harap nila.

Hinawakan ko na lang yung kamay niya na nakapatong sa lap niya. Pero na-disappoint ako ng tinanggal niya at tinuloy niya na lang pagkain.

Hindi ko alam bakit big deal yung pagtawag ni Sir Tul. Dapat ako nga yung magalit kasi sa paraan ng pagsagot niya kanina kay Sir gamit phone ko.

Binasag naman ni Boun yung katahimikan kasi siguro dahil naramdaman niya na ang awkward ng dinner namin. "What about a bit of booze after this?"

"No. Kayo na lang. Wala ako sa mood" sagot ng boyfriend ko.

Ohm even smiled at me. Yung tingin niya parang sinasabi niya na 'Don't worry,okay lang yan'. He's my bestfriend kaya alam niya na ayaw ko sa ganitong mga sitwasyon.

Kahit alam kong may galit siya,hinatid niya pa rin ako. Siguro kasi siya yung nagpaalam kay mom na kakain kami ngayon sa labas.

Nang nasa sasakyan kami, pinipilit kong magsalita at ibahin yung topic pero halatang wala siyang gana makipag-usap. Tumatango lang siya at sumasagot pero alam kong napililitan lang siya.

"What's wrong really?" I curiously asked him.

"You should know it yourself"
Ngayon niya lang ako hindi diretso sinagot. Sanay ako na diretso sumagot sa mga tanong ko at sinasabi niya palagi kung ano laman ng utak niya. But now I'm really clueless where his hate towards Sir Tul is coming from.

I kissed him on his cheek but he got no reaction for me. He just said goodnight to me and left.

I hate this feeling. The first time of him being cold towards me.Now I just want to go to my bed and cry myself to sleep.

Nasa classroom ako at nag-aayos na ng mga gamit ko sa locker kasi tapos na morning class ko. Meron pang isang oras bago mag-lunch so I texted him.

"Done with my class,sabay ba tayo mag-lunch?"

Nagreply naman siya agad. "May bago ba dun? Unless may gusto kang kasama mag-lunch na iba ngayon?"

I texted Ohm. I really need him right now. Siya lang makakapagsabi sa akin kung anong mali nagawa ko.

Nagkita kami ni Ohm sa cafeteria bago pa mag-lunch.

"Now tell me Ohm,what's wrong? I am really clueless right now. Is it about Sir Tul calling me?"

"Uhm,maybe he's jealous" He answered me..

"Why would he be?professor ko yun."

"Baka nararamdaman niya na iba yung treatment sayo ng Sir mo"

Pero wala naman ako nararamdaman na ganun. Puro debate topics lang naman na napag-uusapan namin.

"Tell me honestly, should I just quit the team."

"Gulf, matagal mo na gusto yung debate team. Kung wala naman kayong ginagawang masama just let it be. Si Mew na bahala umayos ng feelings niya."

"Pero, I don't like it when he's acting like that."

"Just prove him, prove him that there's nothing to be worried about."

Mabuti na lang andyan palagi bestfriend ko to support me.

Dumating naman yung tatlo. Umupo sila sa tapat namin. Pero hindi niya ako pinalipat sa tabi niya ngayon.

Kumakain lang kaming lima ng biglang may humawak buhok ko.

"There you are Kana,hinahanap kita kanina bigla kang nawala." Tumingin naman siya kay Ohm.. "so Ohm, you must be his boyfriend, right?"

"Sir No, he is my ...." Hindi ko natapos yung sasabihin ko ng biglang nagsalita pa siya.

"I cooked this, try it. You can share it to your friends." Nilagay niya naman yung lunch box sa harap namin.

"No need sir." Medyo nakakahiya kasi.

"Please accept it. I'm the one who made it. Be the critic and tell me if its not good but don't be too harsh. Just a token for being a great addition to my team." He then pat my head and left.

Nakita ko naman si Mew nakatingin lang sa kinakain niya.

Binuksan naman ni Boun yung lunchbox. It was very well presented. "Aw sh*t nakakahiya kainin, grabe effort."

"Ohm kainin niyo na, busog na ko."

Bumalik na lang ako sa classroom. Baka hindi ko matiis yung cold treatment ni Mew sa akin.
