Chapter 2

Mark's point of view.

After the entrance ceremony ay agad kong pinuntaha si Meyumi. I saw her walking palabas ng gym.

"Meyumi!" I shouted from the top of my lungs and run towards her. She turn around and look at me with her cold brown eyes.

"  Yes Sensei?" I stop this is the first time I heard her voice, It was sweet but there's a coldness in between of her words. I take a deep breath and take a courage to speak to her, but there's no word came out on my mouth instead I hug her tighly. I close my eyes when I feel the warm.

I know this is not rigth hugging a student like this lalo pa't isa akong Teacher but I can't resist. Kaunti na lamang ang mga estudyateng nasa gym dahil karamihan sa kanila ay pumasok na sa kani-kanila silid-aralan.

"Meyumi, I miss you so much." I embrace her more tightly, I can smell her perfume. Sobrang bango nito at halatang mamahalin ang amoy. In a moment of seconds I feel that she's pushing me gently. Dahil siguro sa gulat ay ngayon lang siya nakapag-react. Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap sa kanya at tiningnan siya but I was shock that her reaction is still the same, same stare with her cold brown eyes.

"Sorry sensei but haven't we met before?" She said with a cold voice. I was frost in my place with her words. My heart beats stop for a second. Her words keeps repeating on my head. I was ready for this but why I'm still hurt?

"H-hindi mo n-na ba ako naaalala,! Huh? Meyumi?" Bahagya siyang umiling habang hindi pa din mag babago ang kanyang emosyon.

" Sorry Sensei but I didn't know you." With those words my heart shultered on a million pieces. I'm so speechless that I can't even move a bit. " Sorry Sensei but I have to go, I have a class to go with." She bowed before she leave me can't move on my place. I can't stop her cause I don't know what to say. I was staring at her leaving until lost on my sight.

Napabuga na lang ako ng malalim na buntong hininga at napayuko. What do I expect? I love a little girl na wala pa sa tamang pag-iisip sa mga panahon na yon. Napakabata pa niya noon kaya hindi niya pa alam ang ginagawa niya at 12 years na ang nakalipas at malamang na nakalimutan na niya yun. I sigh and fix myself , may klase pa pala ako.

" Mark." I was shock when someone grab my shoulder and call my name. I chuckle when I saw who is that.

" Megumi, what I mean is Mrs. President Arlond." Bahagya siya napatawa dahil sa aking sinabi hinarap ko siya na may pormalidad.

As you remember Megumi is the owner of The Academy and the beloved wife of Louis.

" Nagkita na pala kayo." Wika niya saka bahagyang ngumiti. Senenyasan niya ako na mag-usap kami habang naglalakad. We started to walk.

"Yah, She change a lot." Napangiti ako ng mapait ng maalala ko ang kanyang nga sinabi.

" Sorry for what she said, she actually know you, but he want to stay away from you." Napalingon ako kay Megumi at magtataka siyang tiningnan "I don't want to hurt you, but this is the fact, Meyumi don't want to fall in love with you again because she already set her goal in life." Lalo pa akong naguluhan dahil sa mga sinabi ni Megumi. Fall in love with me again? Goal in life? Fuck Tachibana's sometimes I can't understand them.

"Hi-hindi kita maintindihan Mrs. President." I said confusely, she out her hand on her back and look on our way.

" Since mamatay ang mga magulang namin, she said into what she is right now. She is heartless, loveless at walang pinapakinggan kahit na sino kundi ang sarili niya." Nagsisimula ko ng maintindihan ang lahat. Last year ay namatay ang mga magulang nila Meyumi at Megumi dahil sa isang xar accident. Meyumi was with their parents when the car accident happen. After the accident their parents die and Meyumi fell in coma for half a year. Nasa japan sila that time kaya hindi kami nakapunta sa libing at burol ng mga magulang nila o bisitahin man lang si Meyumi sa hospital tanging si Megumi lang nakakabisita sa kanila.

"Dahil ba yun sa pagkakacoma niya?" Seryosong tanong ko sa kanya. Bahagyang tumango si Megumi at malungkot akong tiningnan.

" Masyadong napuruhan ang kanyang ulo sa aksedente kaya naman nawalan siya ng emosyon, she just feel empty right now. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat gawin sa kanya pero sana bumalik pa siya sa dati." Megumi eyes become sad and painful. Ngayon ko lang nakita ganito kalungkot si Megumi. I know she's a tough woman dahil kung hindi sa kanya ay siguro hindi ganito kaganda ang buhay naming lima. She save us from despair and give us hope to live with.

" May nabasa ako sa isang libro na naglalahad tungkol sa kaso ni Meyumi. To activate her feeling again she had to feel in love again." Hindi sana ako maniniwala sa sinabi niya pero isang Megumi Tachibana ang nagsabi ang babaeng alam ang lahat.

"What do you mean?" I ask confusedly, she just giggled, I know that giggle, she's thinking something crazy again. Ilang taon na kami mag kakilala ni Megumi kaya may mga bagay akong kabisado sa kanya tulad na lang ngayon.

" Can you help with that?" She said with a michievous smile. I just blink my eyes twice dahil hindi ako makapaniwala sa modd changes ni Megumi. Hindi pa din siya nag babago.

" Help you with what?" She just smile more evilly and stare at me. I have a bad feelings with this.

" Mommy!" Pareho kaming napatigil sa paglalakad ng may batang babae ang lumapit kay Megumi at yumakap. She's beautiful like her mom, and she's look like her aunty when she was that age.

" Lian, my baby girl." I smile when the little girl smile at me and hug me tighly.

" Uncle Mark." I caress her hair and smile. Lian Michelle Tachibana Arlond is the second child of Megumi and Louis, she's a beautiful  8 years old little girl.

"I will discuss that to you later, ihahatid ko lang si Lian sa school niya." Sumama na si Lian sa kanyang ina at nagpaalam na para umalis.

Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako at tumungo sa aking klase.
