Chapter 8
Love song"Ameliah, I told you to sign up for the ballet class!" sigaw ni Mommy sa akin nang makaalis si Daddy sa bahay.
"Mom, if she doesn't want to, leave her alone," said Kuya Sentinel.
"What? So, anong maiibigay niya sa pamilyang 'to? Lamon?" Mommy asked with a shout. Tahimik kong ipinagpatuloy ang pagkuha ko ng aking gamit habang harap-harapan kong naririnig sa asawa ng umampon sa akin na palamunin lang ako.
Ano bang want n'ya? If only I can work at this age, I will naman, e. Alam ko naman na kailangan ko mag-giveback.
"Mom, Daddy's not pressuring her. Si Dad ang kumuha sa kaniya kaya let him decide," si Bella naman.
"No! Sasamahan ko s'ya sa school today and she'll enroll!" galit na sabi ni Mommy. Tahimik akong dumaing when she pulled my arm para makalabas na kami ng house. "Pabigat na nga, matigas pa ang ulo!" she added.
Her words never leave my mind. Sa tuwing gabi ay napapanaginipan ko ang mga sinasabi at pananakit niya sa akin. She slapped me thrice already with her sharp words. Mabuti na lang Chano's there for me na handang makinig ng cry ko.
"Hoy, ano yan, ha?"
I quickly turned off my laptop when Romulo make silip to it.
"What?" naiinis kong tanong. I hissed at him kaya natawa siya.
"Yeah, I get. Rimbo is Chano and you're Freeda in your story, right?" nang-aasar na tanong ni Rom. Sumandal siya sa upuan na katabi ko, he pointed Chano using his lips.
Chano is way far from us. He's currently playing basketball with his classmates. He's the worst player, I swear. No lies or paninira.
"You like him din naman pala, e. Why don't you make patol?" Rom asked again. Sinimangutan ko na siya this time. He's so epal! "Malapit na ang Valentine's Day, ah? What's your plan?"
"Wala," tipid kong sagot. I opened my laptop again and continued what I'm writing.
Rom's right. I've been writing this story... of ours since last week. I don't know what's gotten into me and I did this. This is so nakakahiya kapag nalaman ni Chano—
"Eyes sparkling, heart beating so fast. The most fascinating man is standing in front of me," Chano cut me off while reading what I'm writing.
Kaagad kong isinara ang aking laptop dahil doon. Pahiyang-pahiya kong nilingon si Chano at malakas na itinulak sa mukha. Dahil sa aking ginawa ay natumba siya sa damuhan.
"Aray ko! Grabe ka naman! Inaano ka ba?" nakanguso na tanong niya. Tumayo siya at pinagpagan ang kaniyang damit na nadumihan. "Porket sinabi kong gusto kita ay sasaktan mo ako ng ganto?" he added dramatically.
"Baliw! You're looking at what I'm doing kaya! That's bawal!" bwelta ko bago siya talikuran. Rimbo and Freeda. That's the title of our story, I just hope it goes well.
I'm still wondering what our future will be. Sana maganda para maganda rin ang ending nito.
"Miss Zeich, I'd be really glad if you accept our offer," sabi ng publisher na ilang araw na akong kinukulit. "The demand of readers for a physical book and special chapters!"
"Miss, wala akong pake kahit matuwa ka o hindi! Sino ka ba?" pikon kong tanong. I rolled my eyes on her dahil hindi na ako natutuwa sa pangungulit niya.
Hindi ko maunawaan kung paano nito nalaman ang bahay namin ni Chano. Pinuntahan pa ako para lang sabihin na gusto nilang ma-publish ang Rimbo and Freeda. Tsk! Kapag pumayag ako ay malaki ang chance na mabasa iyon ni Chano, nakakahiya! Baka sabihin pa ng isang iyon ay patay na patay ako sa kaniya.
