All Chapters of June (Gugma Series) : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Prologue"Bye, Professor! See you!Stepping out of the faculty building, I was greeted by a sudden burst of wind that tousled my hair and made me feel alive. With the day's academic duties behind me, I couldn't wait to head home and unwind. Joining the throngs of students making their way out of the building, bigla akong nasabik para sa darating na gabi. "Sir, dating gawi?" A colleague made a drinking gesture with his hands."Pass muna, Sir. May importante po akong lakad ngayon," napakamot ako sa baba ko. Every Friday, they always invite me to join them for a drink. It relieves our stress and is extremely beneficial to us. We usually rent a resort cabana and drink until we pass out."Sige, Sir. Pag-amping sa imong pagmaneho. Sa Resort lang kami, baka lang gusto mong sumunod kapag hindi natuloy ang lakad mo," pabiro pa siyang sumaludo sa akin bago sila humiwalay patungong University quadrangle. Ako naman ay naglakad papunta sa reserved parking space kung nasaan naka-park ang aking Lex

Chapter 2: Second Day With HerIt was a beautiful, sunny morning, and all I wanted to do was clean the house. I feed my cat and then go to the kitchen to make something for breakfast, but there was nothing in the fridge, so I drove to the nearest grocery store and bought some items. I get fruits and vegetables, meat, laundry detergent, and other items. I used to have a girl who would help me with all of this grocery stuff, but that was about all she was good for, I reminded myself. Don't forget how much she hurt you.Bumalik ako sa bahay at idinikit ko ang mga palad ko sa mukha ko at huminga ng malalim. Mahirap magpatuloy lalo na kung wala ka nang gana sa buhay. Napailing ako. No! I still have a purpose in life: teaching. Sa sandaling dumikit ang aking puwetan sa sofa ay may kumakalampag sa pintuan. Nakalimutan ko na namang isarado ang gate. I should buy an automatic gate one of these days.Itinuloy ko ang pagsandal sa sofa ngunit hindi tumigil sa kakakatok ang taong nasa labas.I gr

Chapter 4: SunshineThe next day, rays of sunlight woke me up. I had to get up quickly because I had to go to university today. After I finished my morning routine in the bathroom, I went to the balcony and did my morning stretching. But as I stretched my shoulder, I noticed someone inside my yard. Pinaliit ko ang aking mga mata dahil hindi ko maaninag ang taong iyon sa sobrang tindi ng sikat ng araw.Si Skye! "Hi! Maayong buntag!" she yelled, waving her hands while swinging on an old tyre hung from a narra tree. "Come out! Please push me! I'm with your baby!"Pinaliit kong muli ang mga mata ko habang nakalagay ang kamay ko sa noo ko. She's wearing a facemask; my cat is on her lap; and he's wearing a...A facemask?!What the hell!"Can you fucking take off his facemask?" Galit na sigaw ko. Ang aga-aga, hina-highblood niya ako. Mabigat ang mga hakbang kong bumaba sa spiral staircase na nakakonekta dito sa taas at sa malawak na bakuran. Nag-iinit ang ulo ko habang lumalapit ako sa kany

Chapter 6: Hell SubjectSkye's POVNakahinga ako ng maluwag nang pinaupo na niya ako. I can hardly look at him. Even when he started talking to the class, hindi na ako nakapagconcentrate. I looked around, and everyone was paying close attention to the person speaking in front of them, na himalang mangyari dahil maiingay ang blockmates kong 'to. I noticed Cattleya, who is dreamily looking at the guy whose sleeves are now rolled up. He's tall, probably six feet or more. He had dark hair, deep icy blue eyes, a strong jawline, and full lips. Shit! Ngayon ko lang siya natitigan ng ganito katagal! Mas matagal pa kesa sa lantaran kong pagtitig kay Anton ko. And he's hotter than Anton! How on earth? Shit! No! Dapat loyal ako sa crush ko. Dapat kay Anton lang ang pagtingin ko. Anton is my childhood crush kaya dapat sa kanya lang ako. "Miss Torres? Miss Torres?" I heard him call my name again.Mabilis akong tumayo. "Po?" I'm fidgeting with the hem of my blazer a little."You appear to be

Chapter 8: Talk With Him "Women does truly have that talent," Professor Hugh said, nodding slightly and looking at me with an odd expression. He turned away from me and grabbed the food I had brought for him.Naguluhan ako sa sinabi niya kaya sinundan ko siya hanggang sa kusina. "What do you mean? He can't see my worth, so I need to move on!" galit na pagrarason ko. "I saw him pleasuring another girl, anong gusto mong gawin ko? Magpakatanga?" Nagsimula nang mangilid ang luha sa gilid ng mga mata ko. Masakit sa pakiramdam but I'm not going to show my weakness to him or anyone else.Tiningnan niya ako habang inililipat niya sa plato ang dala kong ulam. "Wala akong sinabing magpakatanga ka. In general, I'm learning that women have the ability to move on that fast.""O-of course, we know our worth. I know... I can... I can still find a guy who sees my worth."He stared at me with an amused expression in his face. "Yeah, you can. But you won't be able to found him if you continue being a
