Chapter 63
Agad akong namutla sa narinig. Kung alam ko lang na doon niya ako dadalhin ay hindi ako sasama sa kaniya. "T-teka, sandali, Isa. Bakit mo ako dadalhin doon?"
"Because of my brother's sudden disappearance?" tanong niya. Mas lalong napuno ang dibdib ko ng kaba. Kahit ako'y walang maisasagot kung tatanungin nila ako kung nasaan ang lalaking 'yon.
Hindi ko alam.
Ilang oras ang lumipas nang makarating kami sa Mondalla's Residences. Kumirot agad ang puso ko. The last time I went here was with Ismael. I can't help but feel empty.
I followed her to their grand mansion, and just like before, a lot of maids and butlers welcomed us.
"Welcome back, Miss

"What is it now?" Umawang ang bibig ko nang marinig ko ang bungad niya sa Xairome na iyon. "Where are you?" Napalunok ako dahil sa lalim ng boses ng lalaking kausap niya. "Why do you care?" Totoo nga ang balita. She sounded like me. "I've been trying to call you yesterday, but you were unreachable. Where did you go?" "What does it have to do with you?" "We need to talk about what happened." "Come on, it was just a one-night stand. Why are you being so clingy?"

"Do you want me to give him a chance?" sinserong tanong ko. "If that's what you want me to do, I can't do that, and I don't want to do that. I'm still waiting for someone, Sav. I'm bound to marry." Ipinakita ko sa kaniya ang promise ring sa daliri ko. "Waiting for someone requires patience and courage. In fact, it requires a lot. It keeps you awake, hoping that one of these nights he'll appear on your bed and embrace you. You are dying while keeping yourself sane and alive, moving forward even though you are stuck in the loop. It's pretty tiring because you want the situation to change, but you don't have a choice but to see it until the end, not knowing when the end is. That's how it feels, Sav."Hindi siya nakapagsalita, pero nababasa ko sa mga mata niya ang lungkot. I smiled. "Don't be sad for me. Ginusto kong maghintay. Ikaw, if you really want Raviel, why not confess?"

MABILIS akong pumasok sa loob ng bahay ko sa pag-asang madadatnan ko si Ismael, pero ang tanging nakita ko na lang ay ang mga sako ng cat food pati na rin ang iba pang stock ng vitamins.What the hell?Ibig sabihin ang tinutukoy ngang Mael ng cashier ay si Ismael?Agad na umakyat sa dibdib ko ang kaba lalo na't naamoy ko sa pamamahay ko ang matapang niyang pabango.How can he do this to me?Pumunta siya rito, pero hindi siya nagpakita sa akin? Why? Anong trip niya sa buhay? Nagkaroon na siya ng pagkakataong magpaliwanag sa akin, pero hindi niya ginawa?Buong gabi akong hindi nakatulog dahil sa inis sa kaniya. Wala nga siya sa tabi ko, pero kung inisin niya ako ay sukdulan.Nagpaalam

"Motives?"I tried to raise a different issue to corner him. "Why all of a sudden do you ask for my best friend out to date her?"I saw him smirking. "Why? Are you jealous? Was my tactic effective?"I squinted, trying to gauge if he was telling the truth, but based on his aura, he was telling it the other way around. I won't buy his lies that he asked my best friend out just for me to get jealous. I need to know the real answer. "Of course not. Why would I be? There are definitely other reasons.""And what are those?" he sarcastically asked as he stepped closer to me. He touched some of my hair strands and smelled them. "It is because I like you, and I am using Savannah to take you. I can see that it is working."

"Sigurado ka ba sa gagawin mo?" tanong ni Savannah sa akin. We are here at the hardware store looking for something essential for my plan."Bakit? Duda ka ba?" I asked in return. I pulled her by clinging my arm to her so she could follow me to the section of the digital surveillance camera."Hindi! Napakawitty mo nga, eh! Sinong mag-aakalang maiisip mong maglagay ng 360-degree camera na may speaker para mahuli si Ismael na pumapasok sa bahay mo?" natatawa niyang pahayag na hindi maitatangging may halong paghanga sa akin."Well, that's how technology works. Akala niya ba siya lang ang high-tech para maisip na lagyan ng smart door lock ang bahay ko? Syempre, smart din ako, kaya maglalagay ako ng bagay na hindi niya aasahan."

"Loeisal Malmdan Company," I answered. Kasabay no'n ay ang pagtaas ng balahibo ko sa katawan. Sikat ang kompanyang iyon at sila ang nagmamay-ari ng pinakamahal na pabango sa buong Pilipinas. They just started a couple of years ago, but their market is getting bigger now. I wonder how their marketing supervisor works. As a business management student majoring in marketing, I am really curious how big businesses and companies are handled by their marketing associates. Kahit maganda ang products or services, kung hindi maganda ang advertising and promotion, hindi ito papatok sa masa. Dapat talaga ay marunong kang magbenta."You mean that famous perfume company? They say they wanted to conquer the world of perfume."I nodded. That's what impressed me. The mission, vision, and core values of that company are unbelievable.

I have been watching the previous footage of the CCTV, but still, there's no shadow of Ismael. Nakakabalisa din pala ang ganito. Parati kong tinitingnan ang camera habang nagbabakasakaling dumaan siyang muli sa bahay ko, pero wala siya. Wala na ba siyang dahilan para bumisita?I heaved a sigh and just focused my attention on our graduation practice. Ilang araw na ang lumipas nang ilabas na ang resulta ng exams namin. Thank God I passed it all."Wala pa rin siya?" tanong ni Sav.Tumango ako. "It seems like my idea is failing."Tinapik niya ako sa balikat. "Don't lose hope. Magpapakita rin siya sa iyo.""Paano kung hindi?"
Take Me Down, Professor Chapter 71
Reality hits me. Akala ko mahirap na ang buhay estudyante, mas mahirap pala talaga ang buhay kapag nasa labas na ng paaralan. Hindi na pwedeng laruin ang buhay.Marcus University became a part of my life, and a lot of things happened in that place. Nakilala ko si Professor Sybill; lalo na si Ismael. But they are now gone. Mabuti na lang at naiwan sa akin si Savannah.But we are also separating now because we will be crossing different paths. Siya ay mag-uumpisa na ng business, samantalang ako ay sukdulan pa rin ang paghahanap sa trabaho. I already applied to Loeisal Malmdan Company, but I wasn't that confident that my curriculum vitae would lead me to the interview door, so I also submitted to the other companies. I hope one of them will be my stepping stone to my dreams.
