He's My Teacher (El Señorita Series #1)

Chapter 14

"Sir. This is my resignation paper" I told my department head before leaving the paper in the top of table.

He look at me before getting the paper. He open it and read. Kinakabahan ako na hindi ko maintindihan. Parang lalabas mula sa aking dibdib ang puso ko.

"Your resigning Miss. Cervantes?" He told me after scanning my paper. Tumango ako sa kaniya. Naka cross ang aking mga daliri sa likod dahil sa kaba.

"I need too Sir. I needed to go back in my country. My cousin needs me and also I have company to run Sir. I build my own" natatawa kong saad. He laugh too a little before looking at me.

"You build? How nice you are Miss Cervantes. I thought you're just kidding. But it was good for your future" saad niya.

Tumango ako dito habang inaalala ang mga araw na nag sisimula pa lang ako sa pag trabaho dito.

He told me that books was not only the product imagination. It was all about the heart of our mind that creates our own world. And our emotion that makes our reader laugh, cry, fall in love, anger, mad and mix emotions.

He even told me that if I want to run my world better step on a single floating stairs that can lead me to the next step.

Hindi ka basta-basta kamamalimut. Maaaring masaktan ka ng paulit-ulit but never stop there. Don't ever got back down. Patuloy ka dapat umapak sa mga apakan ng hagdanan upang mag patuloy kang mag lakad. May mga bagay na dapat binabalikan at bagay na dapat kailangan tanaw na lang ang maiiwan.

Looking back is too far away from going back.

"You learn too much in this wild jungle my Lady. I hope you'll be successful. And for your resignation paper I'll sign it. But can you assure me that you're still here when your book released" nakangiti akong tumango sa kaniya.

Para ko na siyang ama. Nang nag sisimula pa lang dito ay siya ang umagapay sa akin. I also learn that he loss her child that's why her wife leave him. But he still stand strong.

"Sure. I will stay Sir" I answer him with all my respect.

"You know I hate when you are calling me Sir right. Call me Dad Mayumi. You know I want you to be my child. And can you sit. I want to talk to you about Raven"

Nahihiya akong umupo sa upuan sa harap niya. Sabi niya ituring ko na siyang ama. At ituturing niya akong anak at si Raven bilang kaniyang apo. And I'm thankful for that.

"I'm so sorry" I told him.

"Don't you want me to help you Mayumi. You know I treat you as my child so I want to help you" saad niya.

Umiling ako sa kaniya. Ayaw kong maging pabigat sa kaniya.

"Come here my daughter. Can you visit me at my house. I want to see you there with Raven. Can you? Can you Mayumi"

Lumapit ako sa kaniya at niyakap niya ako. Tumulo ang mga luha ko habang yakap niya ako. Siya ang naging ama ko. Pero kailangan ko siyang iwan. Kailangan kong buohin ang sarili ko. Tumayo mag isa.

Sobrang hirap man na iwanan siya dahil siya ang naging ama ko. Siya ang tumangap sa akin. Siya ang taong laging nandyan para sa akin. My Dad.

"I love you dad" I told him as he release me. He kiss my forehead before looking at me.

"You are my child. Maybe not by blood but you are my child okay. Remember I always wanted to help you. Call me if you need help. I will always prioritize you" he said to me.

Tumango ako at pinunasan naman niya ang mga luha ko. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya bago nag paalam. I breath in hard and let it blow out.

So this is it. I will finally go home. Go back where my heart broke ito pieces. Where my heart becomes this solid hard rock. A few more weeks then I'll be there. I'll be back where I should be where.
