"Excuse me!"
I shouted while running. I am late for Pete's sake. I woke up late and there was a traffic.
I breathe deeply before slowly opening the door of our classroom. I am currently on my 3rd year med school.
"Good morning, Miss Villalva." my professor sarcastically said.
"AH--SORRY FOR BEING LATE, DR.CRUZ," i smiled at her and walk to my desk.
My seatmate immediately pinch my waist. I looked at her sharply.
"Can't you wake up earlier than 5?" she whispered.
I just ignored her and opened my textbook. Good thing my prof didn't gave me a punishment. Maybe because it's our final week for this year.
After my three classes for the day i went to a bookstore. The time is already 8 p.m. but i'm still here wandering around the city.
I looked for something to read during my free time. I smiled when i saw the book that i'm looking for. I was about to get that one last copy when someone touched it first.
"Owh," i whispered in a disappointed tone.
"Uhm--excuse me miss," the man called me.
I looked at him and i was in shock when i saw his face. Omg, he's an angel. His face features was really great.
"Are you still getting this book?" He asked me.
"Oh-yes. But you get it first so i think. I'll just look for another book." I smiled at him.
I turned my back at him and look for another book. Though, i was really sad. I've been dreaming to have that book since the first day it was published.
I worked and sold some of my stuffs just to buy the whole damn series. Well, i can really buy it but i feel upset if i'll buy it using my parents money.
"You can have it,"
I was froze on my place when i heard what the man said. I looked at him with my unbelievable expression. Is he serious?
"Well---really? Are you sure?" i asked.
He hold my hand and put the book there. I was about to thank him but he immediately walked through the door of the bookshop and leave.
"Thank you," i smiled and went to the cashier.
I can't believe that this book will be displayed on my room. I am waiting for a taxi infront of the shed when the rain suddenly poured.
What a day. I don't have any umbrella. I sighed in disappointment and just hugged my bag. If this get wet, it'll be the most devastating moment of my life.
"Miss?" a car stopped infront of me.
My eyes widened when i realize who that person it. It's the man who have me the book.
"There will be no taxi here. It's unsafe for you being alone in that shed. There's a typhoon. Will your boyfriend pick you up? He should be here.Tsk." the man said.
I blinked twice because of disbelief. Oh. Is he mad?
"Mister, i don't have boyfriend and i have no choice but to wait here because i live in Makati and it's few minutes drive from here." i politely said.
He nod slowly and looked at me again. He opened the passenger's seat so i was shock.
"I'll give you a drive. We live in the same city and uh--building," he offered.
I thinked twice because i was scared. He's a stranger so why would i go with him. But if i still stay here--it's dangerous.
I looked around and there i find a cctv. I smiled and went inside his car. If i die tonight a cctv footage will be a great help.
"Don't worry. I am not a rapist. I'm just an engineer." he chuckled.
"I'm Alliah Celestine Villava. University of the Philippines MedSchool." i introduced myself.
"Engr.Elias Cohenn Ygnacio. Also a Up graduate."
I smiled and took my phone out. I lowered the brightness and searched his name on social media.
I grinned and sent him a friend request on facebook. A follow request on Instagram and Twitter.
Good thing his phone didn't make a noise. He's cute. He's also an engineer that made him more attractive.
He has a perfect haw line and a moreno skin. His eyes were deep and a pointed nose. He's dashing in his suit and brushed up hair.
The car was really silent that made the atmosphere so awkward. I took out my phone again and plyed a music.
'ILYSB by LANY'
I heared him humming while the song was playing. Is he a fan too?
"Yes. I am a fan," he smiled at me.
Omg, am i too loud? Or is hhe a mindreader?
"Oh. By the way, would you like to borrow the book?" i asked him.
"Is that okay with you?"
I nod at him and get the book out of my bag. I put it at the backseat that made him curious.
"You can read it for the mean time. I still don't have time to read the story. I'm reviewing dor the finals."
"Oh-thank you." he replied.
I just gave him a small smile and pay an attention on the road. It is really windy. Good thing i bought supplies yesterday.
The music stops when my phone rings. It's my mom. Calling.
"Eomma," i answered.
"Do you have supplies?" she asked me.
"Yeah. I think it'll be fine for 3 days if the typhoon will be staying for few days, "
I heard her thanked God. She called my dad and told him my situation.
"Arasseo,take care." my mom told me before hanging up.
I just smiled and send him a vurtual hug. How i miss them both. I wish i can have a vacation in Korea next year.
"We're here," Elias break the silence.
"Thank you! I'll pay you next time." i happily told him.
He chuckled at me. I stared at him for a long time.
"Unit 302. A sushi will do," he gave me a smirk.
"Hmmm? Okay," i opened the passenger's seat door and went out.
We both ride rhe elevator and went ro our floors. Mine was in the 8th floor and his was 9th floor.
When i arrived at my floor i waved at him. He also waved at me and said.
"Nice meeting you, Dr.Villalva."
