Who are you Miss Dela Vega? (University Series #I)

Chapter XLI

Danielle

"Do you like Miss Dela Vega?" Tumingin ako sa taong kasalukuyang nagd'drive ngayon. Napakunot noo ako sa tanong nya. May alam ba sya?

"What do you mean?"

"You like her" this time ay hindi na patanong ang tono ng sinabi nya. Kaya hindi ko alam kung ano sasabihin dito.

"No worries Danielle, hindi ko sasabihin." Natatawa nyang sabi nang tumingin sya sakin ng saglit.

"I love her Haven" sagot ko dito. Wala din namang patutunguhan kung idedeny ko pa.

"Oh. So it's more than what I observed. Pero bakit parang iniiwasan mo sya?" 

Wait, diba she like me? I'm not assuming things pero yung poem, she wrote that for me right? Bakit parang okay lang sa kanya na may gusto akong iba?

"She don't like me back so I'm trying to get over it" plus, there's Trish. I don't know what's going on with them but I think they have some unresolved issues. I was about to let her explain everything kanina, then suddenly Trish came. Bigla na lang akong iniwan ni Miss Dela Vega at hinila yung girlfriend nya. She's really fucking up my feelings. I didnt know what to feel that time, nawala na lang ako bigla sa kanya nang dumating lang yung babaeng yun. She didn't even said anything at umalis nalang ng basta basta hila hila yung girlfriend nya. Maybe I really should stop this.  

My thoughts are interrupted when Haven laugh suddenly. "Why are you laughing?" Naguguluhan kong tanong dito. Nababaliw na ba sya?

"Come again? Prof Dela Vega doesn't like you?" She asked. She stare at me for a second bago tumawa ng malakas.

Okay. She become crazy.

"I didn't know you're so dense Danielle Jade." Naiiling nyang sabi. "If you think she don't like you back, naisip mo din ata na may something si Trish and Prof no?" Huh.

She knows Trish? "Kilala mo yung babae kanina?"

"She's Trish, kapatid ni Patricia. Yung apo ng may ari ng bahay kanina." let me process everything. What the hell. This is too much. They are siblings? Kaya pala tinawag ni Patricia si ma'am na ate kanina!

Maybe that's the reason why Miss Dela Vega came there too. Magkikita talaga siguro dila doon. She lied to me again. Parang bigla akong namanhid.

"Before you conclude anything, sasabihin ko na sayo. Matuto kadin makinig Dani, there's always a two side in every story. Don't be a bias dahil lang sa nakikita mo"

Natahimik ako bigla. Bakit parang madami syang alam kay Miss Dela Vega? Saka naguguluhan ako, bakit alam nya yung nangyayari at naiisip ko? Wala naman akong nakwento sa kanya maliban lang sa sinabi kong mahal ko si ma'am.

"Haven, I thought you like me? Well I'm not assuming things pero yung sinabi mo na ikaw nagsusulat ng poem. Hindi lang basta poem yun right? You're confessing through it. Then how come?" 

I heard Haven laugh once again "Dani, ang sinabi ko -- ako ang nagbibigay dun ng poem. Hindi ko sinabi na ako ang nagsusulat. Magkaiba yun" 

"Then who?" Edi kilala nya diba?

"She actually didn't know na binibigay ko poem nya" natatawa nyang sagot. "I did it because I know na hinding hindi sya magpapakita sayo ng motibo but I guess tadhana na nga siguro ang nagpapasya, parang di ko na kailangan magbigay pa ng tula nya."

What? I'm confused. So it's a she? Not Hades too?

"She? I don't get it Haven"

"Hindi ako yung dapat nagsasabi nyan. I'll wait til she confessed. Ayoko syang pangunahan."
