Chapter 28: Freshmen

"Before we start our class, can I have your own opinions with this question. Is justice serve nowadays?" tanong ng professor nila. Naglalakad ito paikot-ikot sa bawat linya ng mga upuan, nakakatakot ang kaniyang awra idagdag mo pa kung gaano kalakas ang pagtunog ng takong ng kaniyang sapatos kapag tumatama sa sahig.

Ang nahuli niyang isang freshman na lalaki na nakatitig sa kisame at hindi nakikinig sa kaniya ay ginulat niya sa pamamagitan ng pagtawag sa kaniya gamit ang kulay ng damit niyang yellow.

"Mr, on a yellow vintage yellow shirt sitting on the right side of the corner, busy staring at the ceiling may I have your answer?" ma-awtoridad na utas nito.

The man pay attention after hearing what she said, mistulang nabuhusan siya ng malamig na tubig ng marinig 'yon.

"I think Ma'am, it's no." matipid na sagot niya.

"Why?" their professor followed up, by this time, her right eyebrow arched.

"It wasn't explainable at all, observe the society nowadays and you'll find out what the answer on what you were asking for." matapang na sagot nito.

Tumango lang ang guro, sinenyasan na ito ay umupo na.

Sunod niyang tinawag si Sapphire na nasa harapan at nakikipagdaldalan sa katabi nito.

"Ms, talkative on the in front, wearing a red backless, showy dress, may I have your own thoughts?" pagpuna nito sa kaniyang kadaldalan.

Napalunok si Sapphire nang tawagin siya, subalit wala siyang pamimilian kung hindi ang tumayo, sumagot at kung hindi'y mapapahiya siya sa unang araw niya as a college student. She wasn't ready, but, she have to.

"It's yes Ma'am, a living example is my Lolo who's the current Governor of our neighboring town, he's indeed a very awesome and skillful person when it comes to politics, he had accomplished a lot of projects who uplift the rights of every youth on education, he has also a law firm wherein Lawyers who are very smart and courageous are doing their best to give a free consultation on every citizen who can't afford to pay and attain justice, he's also doing everything to stop the discrimination towards the LGBTQ Community for instance, he's making sure that every women is empowered enough to face the struggles of life." saad niya.

Pinalakpakan siya ng karamihan, except kay Niana na nakangisi sa gilid, hindi ito sang-ayon sa kaniyang sinabi. She hurriedly raised her left hand before their professor pick another one to answer her question.

"Yes Ms?" tugon ng kanilang guro.

She stood up, and breath in and out.

"The goodness of justice wasn't seen and serve nowadays, it's more often the audacity of our leaders towards their implementation of bad governance, trashy presidency, negligent economy, rampant cases of crimes and drugs, increasing cases of poverty, corruption, injustice among the different social classes is just only few of those unmentioned visible results. I want to condemn Ms. Sapphire on what she have said a while ago, well, Ms it's only in the neighboring town that you have mentioned, our main point is our country as a whole, its justice system to be exact. But, it's okay I respect yours as might as well the freedom of speech and expression." wika niya.

Making everyone left speechless, pati ang professor nilang mukhang terror ay napa 'woahh' rin ang bibig.

Kapag college ka na ten minutes na lang ang breaktime, kaya dali-daling tumakbo si Niana patungo sa department ni Gneiss, ang kaso, bigla siyang hinarang ni Sapphire with that expression full of wrath.

Napa-arko ang kilay ni Niana sa ginawa niyang pagharang ginawa pa nitong barikada ang sarili niyang kamay para lang pigilan siya.

"What?!" iritadong sagot ni Niana.
