{13} night confrontation

Start from the beginning
                                    

Leni was just looking at him, not saying any word and sweating a bit. 

"Professor Leonie Robredo, would you like to be my loving girlfriend?" 

As Migs drop the question, students started cheering. Leni is now feeling the pressure. She doesn't want this but at the same time, she doesn't want to embarrass herself.

But, why would she agree on something she doesn't even want to?

"Migs.. I know you like me and all but.. I am rejecting." Leni said that, with a brave heart.

The whole crowd gasped at the answer Leni dropped. Leni started giving Migs back the bouquet to him and smiling at him. 

"I don't want to force myself into something I am not really into. So Migs, I am sorry. I know I might embarrass you and all, but I am not really into guys anymore." 

At that statement, made Migs' eyes wide. Leni doesn't want to hear a word from him anymore, so she started walking away without further hesitation. "Leni! Wait!" 

Migs wants to catch up to Leni but instead, he just stayed in his spot; watching Leni walk away from him.

-

"So.. you told Migs that you're not into guys anymore?" Risa repeated; Leni nods afterwards.

"At least I'm honest. I don't really see myself having a boyfriend anymore after having one from the past. Basta, ewan. Am I making sense?" 

"Yeah, yeah you are making sense." Risa commented, making her sigh a little bit. "So.. does that mean you can be into girls now?" 

That made Leni smirk a little bit Oh Risa, kung alam mo lang. "I mean, yeah. That's the point. So.. ikaw? Kamusta ka? Been a while." 

Risa sighs before answering, "You know Prof. Villanueva? The guy I told you once?" 

That made Leni's face immediately turned cold, "Yeah, the jackass that stole your emotions from you?" 

Risa widens her eyes after that Teka, I haven't even told you the story about him? "Wait, kanino mo nalaman about him?"

"Kiko. He knows what happened. So, what's up with that jackass?" Leni crosses her arms after.

"Uhm.. nagpaligaw lang naman ako saglit. But in the end, I realized na it wasn't really developing or what so I decided na itigil na niya dahil it will not develop anyway. 

At bakit ka naman magpapaligaw sa taong sinaktan ka na?! "Nagpaligaw? ka? for what reason?" Leni commented with a tone in her voice. 

"I don't know.. I was also shocked sa sarili ko dahil umagree naman ako agad." This made Leni's eyes roll to the side. 

"Oh Risa, you're not being honest here. I've known you for 6 years at alam ko kung kelan ka hindi nagiging honest. So, what's the reason?" 

Risa did a strong gulp after that before answering, "Now you pointed that out.. It's because I was hurt, you know? Nasaktan ako; to the point I have to use someone just to get revenge and make the other jealous. Which is; wrong, I know." 

Risa releases a sigh before continuing, "But I realized that my heart is now owned to someone else kaya pinatigil ko na panliligaw, fortunately; it's a healthy ending naman. Mark wants me to be happy with that person, so you know.. as long as we're okay pa rin naman in the end. No conflicts or whatsoever." 

Sino ba 'yang someone na 'yan? "Oh, I see. At least he knows that you're happier with someone naman, diba? That's the good part. So, sino ba?" 

That made Risa hesitant on what she's going to answer but instead of answering, she just stared at Leni.

Leni was just staring at her back; with one eyebrow up. Getting confused on why Risa was just staring and not answering. 

"Hmm? Sino?" Leni asks once again.

But instead, Risa rolls the beads of her light pink bracelet between her fingers as she stare at Leni; indicating Leni that it's her. 

Leni notices that immediately, looking at her fidgeting with the bracelet she bought and gave. Is it me? Or am I being too delusional?

[Extra Scene: Ted, Sonny, Dean 2]

"Ay! Hindi naman pala nag agree si Prof. Robreds sa girlfriend application ni Prof. Zuluage pare eh!" Ted shares the gossip he got from one of his friends that witnessed the moment.

"Mabuti naman kung ganun. Sana gumalaw na si Prof. Honti. Inip na inip na ako." Sonny complains. 

"Same, dude. Alam mo 'yun? They have this indescribable chemistry like holy shit? They look so good together? Why aren't they together?!" Dean grunts, definitely getting frustrated on the professors they're shipping.

"Hay nako, hintayin nalang natin. Baka magsigalawan na ang mga tinatawag nila Prof. Pangilinan na 'kuhol'." 

The three cackles at the codename that was invented by the professors that are filled with gossips about the two. Eventually, those code names would change again.
