I was so engrossed in putting color on the gown that I had drawn. This served as my stress reliever. Kapag pressured ako sa school at kay mommy, nagguguhit nalang ako ng mga gowns. Hindi ko kasi masagutan iyong activity ko sa Science. Nakakalula na iyong mga elements and numbers. Gusto ko naman bigyan ng magandang tanawin ang mga mata ko. But nobody knew that I drew. Lalo na rito sa bahay.

I was almost done but the knock on my door made me panick. Agad kong nilabas ang science book ko at inipit ang drawing sa ilalim.

"Come in!" I pretended that I was answering my activity when kuya came in. May dala siyang baso ng gatas at nilapag niya iyon sa desk ko.

"Are you busy?"

"Uh, just answering my module. Hindi ko masyadong makuha ang solution kaya na-trap ako sa number five."

"Kapag hindi mo masagutan ang isang item, iwanan mo. Lumaktaw ka sa sumunod so that your time is not wasted. Tapos balikan mo kapag tapos ka na." Tumango ako sa advise niya.

"Okay. Thank you."

"But..."

Taka akong tumingin sa kaniya. "What?"

"Are you really answering?"

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Of course! Ano pa ba ang gagawin ko?"

"With that color pencil?"

I looked at my hand. Oh, God! Hindi ko pala nabitiwan 'tong color pencil. I held my chin up.

"Yup! What's wrong with using color pencil in answering my module?"

"Nothing is wrong. But, Li'l Sis, using different color of pen in your module is prohibited. Black ink lang dapat 'di ba?" He chuckled. "Show it up."

"What?"

Tinaasan niya ako ng isang kilay. "Your drawing, let me see it."

Umiling ako. "No. Hindi ako nag-drawing."

"That speaks volume with your fingers." I spread my palms and saw my colored fingers.

"Fine. I just drew this out to detach myself from stress. It's nothing serious." Nilabas ko ang sketchpad ko saka pinakita sa kaniya. Kinuha naman niya iyon.

"This is thrice better than mine!" I gave him a confused look.

"You also drew?" I asked in a big wonder.

"Yup. Being a designer is the dream that I never had." Kahit na lalaki siya kumilos at umakto, hindi pa rin niya maitago ang pagiging malambot. Binuklat niya pa ang ibang pahina. "They're beautiful. Nag-aral ka ba sa pagguhit nito?"

Umiling ako. "Nope. Just my hobby."

"Do you want to pursue this?"

Sadly, I smiled. "Mom would prolly kill me if I would."

"Follow your dreams. Make it for me. Kapag natupad mo 'yan. Parang natupad mo na rin ang pangarap ko."

"If I will become a designer, will you wear one of my gowns for me?"

"Not just your gown. I will buy your designs."

"Promise?"

Ngumiti si kuya. His face faded and then I woke up with tears in my eyes. Panaginip ba 'yon o nangyari 'yon kagabi? Kinapa ko ang phone ko sa bedside table at tiningnan ang oras.

"Oh, my God!" Mabilis akong napatayo. It's eight in the morning! Late na ako. My phone rang and saw it was Dolce calling. "Dolce, sa'n kana?"

"I'm on my way."
