Maaga akong gumising dahil ang sabi ni ate ay maaga raw nila akong susunduin sa bahay. When I woke up, I ate first and then I took a shower. I didn't wash the dishes anymore 'cause I was already running late. Maaga naman ako nagising ngunit sadyang mabagal lang ako kumilos.
I just wore a tank top and a mom jeans. Nag-ayos muna ako nang kaunti sa aking mukha bago bumaba sa sala at suotin ang aking sapatos.
Ate called me and told me that they were already outside. Pagkatapos niyang tumawag ay lumabas na ako ng bahay na bitbit lamang ang aking phone.
I fell asleep during the whole trip, I just woke up when ate woke me up. Still sleepy, I looked out the window to see where we are now. I was confused while looking outside.
Why are we in a school?
Wait.....this school is familiar to me. Ah, oo! This is the school near the mall. This is the school kung saan nag-aaral si Zale. But why are we here?
Dito ba ang handaan ni Zale? Buong tao sa school papakainin niya? Gano'n ba sila kayaman?
"Oh, Elysia, Bakit hindi ka pa bumababa? Tara na, malalate tayo riyan sa ginagawa mo." Napabaling ako kay ate nang nagsalita siya. She was already outside with kuya Croy. I took my phone on my seat before I went out from the car.
"Dito ba kakain?" tanong ko nang mag-simula na kami mag-lakad.
"Are you already hungry?" kuya Croy asked me.
I'm not hungry yet but if he wants to buy food for me, who am I to refuse? Like, biyaya 'yon, noh. 'Wag nga raw tumanggi sa grasya, sabi ni mama.
"Gutom na ako. Bili muna kaya tayo pagkain?" ate Ezlyn suggested.
Alam kong ikaw ang asawa pero ikaw ba ang tinanong? Joke lang.
"Bakit bibili pa? I thought we came here to eat." I gave them a bewildered look.
Dito ang handaan ni Zale, hindi ba? If not, why we are here?
Nagtataka nga ako kung bakit dito magce-celebrate si Zale. Siguro friendly siya and he is friends with almost all the people here so instead na papuntahin pa sa bahay nila, rito nalang dahil baka hindi kasya sa bahay nila.
Pero hindi naman friendly sa 'kin si Zale.
"Huh? We're here to watch Zale's graduation, not to eat, Elysia," ate spoke.
Ha? Graduation? Bakit kasama ako rito? Kapamilya ba ako?
Gusto ko lang naman makikain sa graduation celebration. Bakit ipapanood sa 'kin ang buong graduation ceremony?
"Mukhang gutom na gutom ka na nga. You're already spacing out. Ganyan ka pala magutom." Kuya Croy chuckled.
The next thing I knew, we were already eating our food. Naka-upo kami sa pinaka likod. Dito pwede umupo ang mga gustong manood. The ceremony was already started before we came.
Kanina ko pa iniisip kung bakit ako nandito ngayon sa school ni Zale para manood sa graduation niya.
Ano ako, kapamilya niya?
"Bakit kayo nanonood ng graduation ni Zale?" I asked them.
Grabe rin 'tong si ate, e. Ako nga na kapatid niya hindi niya pinanood 'yung graduation tapos kapag si Zale papanoorin.
Hindi naman masakit.
"We just want to," kuya answered.
"Bawal ba?" si ate.
"E, bakit ako kasama? Kaya pala ang aga niyo 'kong sinundo." Ang tanga ko rin at hindi ako nagtaka bakit maaga ang handaan ni Zale.
Pero malay ko ba, diba? Kala ko malayo ang location ng lugar kung saan magce-celebrate si Zale kaya maaga akong sinundo.
