UNIVERSITY SERIES: TOTGA EDITION

Simula

Entering College is another phase of our life that we need to survive for us to have a better future.

"Casper,bilis!" Excited kong tawag sa kanya dahil ngayon ipo-post ang mga natanggap sa Student Assistant Program ng University namin.

Nakapamulsa siyang lumakad sa gilid ko, at kung hindi ko pa hihilahin ay hindi magmamadali.

"Why need to rush, Bella? Andami pang tao sa una, mainit at siksikan." Casper lazily said while I'm dragging him in the front of the bulletin board.

He's right, marami ngang tao, probably mga kasabayan ko sa mga nagapply para mapabilang sa SA Program, ito kasi yung program ng University namin. You'll work in your vacant, and in return they will shoulder half of your tuition fees.

Nilingon ko si Casper, he's white, tall and lean. He's wearing a glasses that made him look serious and stern. His hair is a jet-black, and in a clean cut. He's taking Chemical Engineering, and I am proudly to say that he is my boyfriend.

"I need to know if I passed, kaya pagbigyan mo na ko, please?" Malambing kong sabi sa kanya para mapailing na lang siya at tumango.

Nilingon ko ang bulletin kung saan marami pa ring nasa harapan at tila hinahanap ang mga pangalan nila, Ngumuso ako dahil medyo maliit ako at malabong makita ang pangalan na nasa una.

Tumingkayad ako, pero naramdaman ko na lang ang kamay ni Casper sa baywang ko. Nilingon ko siya at suplado niya kong tinitigan, habang hinila ang dulo ng dress kong suot.

Umakyat ang dugo sa pisngi ko, at saglit na tumigil sa pagtingkayad.

"Masisilipan ka sa ginagawa mo, Why did you even wear a dress for a casual event in your department today, huh?" Ngumisi ako dahil nagsisimula na namang maging grumpy ang boyfriend ko.

He doesn't smile, and instead pulled me in the side.

"Ako na titingin ng pangalan mo, just stay there." He ordered a bit pissed as he made his way in the ocean of students, he easily get infront because of his tall height.

Ngumiti ako, Perks of having a tall boyfriend.

Sinulyapan ko siya na pinapasadahan ang listahan habang may iilang estudyanteng babae na tila mangha sa kanyang kagwapuhan. I pouted a bit, Gusto ko sanang sabihin sa kanila na boyfriend ko ang tinitingnan nila!

"Ano? Nandoon ba pangalan ko?" Agad kong tanong ng lumapit siya sakin, his dark eyes darted at me.

"Oo." buo nitong tugon para mapatalon ako at mayakap siya. Pinagtinginan kami ng ilang estudyante kaya naman agad akong kumalas at hinila siya patungong cafeteria.

"Bakit kapa nagapply ng SA? May isa kapang part-time kapag Sabado diba?" Bulong ni Casper sakin habang nasa linya kami at namimili ng ulam para sa lunch,

I get the tong and put two chicken thighs on his plate, and a bowl of veggies in the side, and then in my plate.

" Cas...I need it, medyo marami kasing gastusin si Mama sa bahay, malapit na rin kasing mag highschool si Brooke," ani ko at inikot ang tingin ng sa ganon makahanap ng vacant table, and luckily wala pa masyadong tao dahil may event sa Auditorium.

"I can lend a money to you, kung gusto mo.." sumimangot ako habang binababa ang tray ng pagkain namin. Naupo siya sa tabi ko, at nilagay ang bag ko sa gilid niya.

"I told you, kaya ko naman..and hindi dahil boyfriend kita, ay okay na humiram ng pera, baka ano pang isipin ng mga tao sakin,"

He eyed me sharply, as he gave me spoon and forks, I whisper my thank you as I start to dig in.

"I insist, Bella. You've working your ass too much, if you continue doing that you might get sick." Pagpapatuloy niya para nginitian ko na lang siya.

I get his point, pero ang hirap kasi sa sitwasyon namin, Casper is a son of a Congressman in our Municipal District. Noon pa man ay sobrang hirap nang ligawan session namin dahil na rin doon, I have living my life in a normal teenage way too far from his.

Insecurities and doubt is always there, at mabuti na lang nacope-up namin. Sinagot ko siya noong second year College na kami.

A lot of people is still questioning why me, of all girls...but instead of paying attention, I just learned to focus to our relationship. After all, buhay namin to. No one should question that.

" Thank you, love. Pero I'm fine, okay? I won't get sick. I'm strong!" I even showed my muscles even it was too small just to make a point on him.

He just sighed, as he rested his hands at the back of my chair.

" You're always saying that, pero madalas ka pa ring dapuan ng sakit. You really love to make me feel worried for your health, " anito para matawa ako.

I playfully look at him and kissed his cheek fastly before returning in my food. Natahimik siya sa ginawa ko, I smirked.

"You really know how to make me shut up." He said but a smile is now crepted on his lips.
