3 Tres

"Aiden! Wait up! I have something to tell you!" I approached him and mockingly gave my test paper to him.

"What's with this?" He asked.

"There! Look at it. Diba ikaw nagcheck niyan? Bat may corrected by Aiden❤️?" I actioned the heart one.

"I didn't draw that." He didn't hesitated to have an eye contact to me.

"Yes you did." I said.

"Psh. Ewan sayo." And he left me there smiling.

I was walking down the road when someone was walking behind me.

"Bat di moko hinintay?" May tampo yung boses niya.

"Ewan sayo." I walked as fast as I can and reached our house.

Lagi niya kong kinukulit dahil sa lagi kong pangiiwan sakanya sa classroom dahil sa tampo ko sa Aiden❤️ na hindi niya maamin amim saakin simula pa nung nagusap kami.

I smiled remembering our cute childhood. Aiden was my first love. I even dreamt of him always. And now, he is my boyfriend. A very loving boyfriend.

"Hey, you still awake?" My phone vibrated beside me.

"Uhm yes." I replied.

"I wanna see you baby. I'm outside." I didn't hesitated to reply instead I rushed out.

I saw him with his usual office wear. A very handsome man. But my eyes started to water when I saw his eyes. His sad aura pierced my heart. I ran fast to him and hugged him.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Nothing. I just missed you." He said.

"Are you sure?" I asked and he nodded.

"Can we go to the playground? Have some talk?" And I just found ourselves sitting at the near swing.

"What would you do if I will leave?" He seriously asked me.

"Why? Are you going to leave me?"

"Just answer my question please?"

"I'll cry. Because you left me ofcourse."

"Mmm." He just nodded.

"Why did you asked that kind of question?" I asked.

"Nothing. But when I leave, please promise me that you'll not cry and get over me. When Ieave, please forget me."

After that talk, I haven't seen him for almost 3 years. And now, I'm already college. Way back then I was 17 when we had that talk. I'm here at london and uuwi na ako sa Pilipinas.

"Anak." Mom said and hugged me but I froze when I saw a man standing near us.

"You came back.." he said while holding a bouquet of flower.

"Why are you here?" I said angrily.

"I'm here for you. I want you back baby." He said and started to cry.

"Want me back? You cannot have me anymore. It's already over. I already moved on. I already gave you up. You left me without any single reason and now you want me back?" I shouted.

"Please hear me up. I didn't mean to leave you. It's just tha-"

"Shut it up. I don't need your reasons. I'm over it." I said and pulled my baggage and walked towards the exit.

"That night when I came and had a talk, yun din yung pinatawag ako sa office. Ang sabi nila, kung ayaw nilang kumalat sa buong campus, hiwalayan kita or makikick out ka. So I did what's the best. Hindi kita hiniwalayan, umalis lang ako at pinalabas na naghiwalay tayo. And now, I'm here, babawiin ka. I'm sorry." He said and cried.

"I'm sorry den. Wala kanang mababalikan. I'm getting married 2 weeks from now and I'm pregnant. We'll go goodbye." I said and rushed to our car.

"Anak, what was that?!" Bulalas ni mom.

"That's just an excuse mommy. Let's go."

"Makipagbalikan ka sakanya. I won't start the car until hindi ka nakikipagbalikan." Sabi niya at lumabas sa kotse at hinanap si Aiden.

Lumipas ang ilang araw at diko padin hinaharap si Aiden. Not until nadatnan ko siya sa sala.

"What are you doing here?" Taas kilay ko siyang tinignan.

"I want you back." He uttered.

"Hindi nako babalik. Hindi na. Masyado pang masakit Aiden." Bumalik nako sa kwarto ko pero bago ko paman yun mabuksan ay nagawa na niyang hawakan ang pulsuhan ko.

"Sorry if nagawa ko yun."

"Pero pwede mo namang sabihin sakin yun noon. Gusto ko ding malaman yung mga yun. Hindi lang naman ikaw yung may hawak ng relasyon natin noon. Sana sinabi mo upang di ako nasaktan ng ganon kalalim." Iyak na sabi ko.

"Kaya nga binabawi kita. I'll give you time to heal yourself. Just say if you're ready. I want you back. I already resigned. I wanna spend my life with you. I want to treasure every moment with you. I want you always by my side. I'll always be right here. Hihintayin kita. Hindi nako nagtuturo, I'm already a lawyer." And he turned his back. I was left dumbfounded.

And yes, he's my teacher and I'm his student..
