PURSUING OUR DREAMS

02

nagising ako sa liwanag na tumama sa mukha ko.it's already morning,parang isang oras lang ang tulog ko.

umupo na ako para hindi na ako antukin.kinuha ko ang tali para makapag ipit na ako ng buhok.

while doing that,i heard some noice.i look at the kitchen and found my mom with her friends.mukhang may bonding yatang magaganap.

"mare,sino naman yang nasa sala?"i heard one of my mom friends asked.

"nako hayaan niyo yan,anak lang yan ng katulong namin.puno na kasi ang kwarto ng maidsroom kaya diyan muna pinatulog."

"wala ba kayong guestroom?"the other one asked.

"it's still on the process of making padin kasi."pagsisinungaling nanaman ni mama.

really?ganito na ba talaga niya ako ka ayaw at natatawag niya akong anak ng kasambahay?walang masama sa ganon pero hindi iyon totoo.

nakayuko nalang akong nag aayos ng hinigaan ko.refusing to look at them because they will look at me with pity.

i'm her own daughter but she let me sleep in the living room.hindi ako maarte o ano pero anak niya padin ako.sana mas binibigyan niya ako ng atensiyon.

i bit my lower lip because i don't want them to hear that i am crying.tumango nalang ako sa kanila bago dumiretso sa bathroom to prepare myself for school.

after getting ready,bumaba na ako para makapag almusal.mukhang nasa living room sila dahil wala ng tao sa kusina.

i guess i'm eating alone again.i grab a plate and put friend rice,hotdog,and nuggets on my plate.

after i'm done eating,nagpaalam na ako kila mama but i guess she doesn't hear me.

while walking to school,my phone began to rang and i emmedietly answer when i saw the caller.

"Hi!"i greet him.i'm so happy that he called.i'm having a bad day.

"how are you?"his voice are deep.i like hearing it.

"i'm good."i lied.ayoko lang na mag alala siya.

"no you're not."i heard him laugh.he really knows me so well huh.

"how did you know?"i asked curiously.

"because i saw you walking like a zombie.you're having a bad day huh."he said.what?he saw me?where?

i look everywhere and saw him standing in the other way.nakasandal pa sa poste.he smiled at me and waved his hand before walking towards me.

"Kyle!"i shout at him and he laugh before hugging me.i missed him.

"where have you been huh!"i accused him!iniwan niya ako!

"it's nothing."he said and tap my hair.i smiled at him and we started walking.

he's Kyle Reyes.my one and only bestfriend.we are on the same grade but not in the same section.he's nice,handsome,and sometimes sweet.

i really like his personality because he accepted me for who i am.my imperfections,my insecurity,and all.

a lot of girls dream about having him as a boyfriend kasi full package na.

parang kapag naging boyfriend mo siya,hindi mo na siya papakawalan kasi nasa kaniya na ang lahat.

that's why sometimes,may mga babaeng nagagalit sa akin kasi bakit ako lang ang laging kasama ni Kyle na babae.i don't even know why.may mga kaibigan siyang lalaki pero ako lang talaga sa babae.

matagal na kasi kaming mag bestfriend.simula bata pa talaga.

"are you free after school?"tanong niya.iniisip ko kung may gagawin pa ako after school.

"no."i said.his face turned to sad realquick huh.

"anong gagawin mo?"he asked.

"i have a korean class."i said.

"buti pinayagan ka ni tita."he told me.hindi niya alam.

"no.i'm self studying.wala naman akong pera pang pa tutor.alam mo naman na pangarap ko makapunta sa korea."i said to him.

i want to go to korea.gusto ko maging kpop artist.i want to have a group and be a singer.kahit alam kong imposible,gusto ko padin ituloy yun.

"i will support you.kahit maging sikat ka na at hindi kana maabot ng iba,wag mo akong kakalimutan ha?"sabi niya.i looked at him and nod.

kung matupad man ang pangarap ko,ikaw ang pinaka huli kong maiisip na kalimutan dahil ikaw ang nakasama ko sa lahat.

after walking with him.nandito na din kami sa school.i grab my i.d and swipe it so that my parents will know that i'm in the school,although baka hindi din naman nila pansinin yun.

while walking with kyle papuntang second floor.we saw a poster sa may billboard ng faculty room.

it's a poster and date kung gusto mong mag audition sa music club.as far as i can remember,inanounce dati ng principal na kapag napili ka ng president ng music club or ng teacher na naka assign dun,pwede kayong igawa ng banda so that you can perform for the events in school.

"you want to join?pwede kang mag practice jan para hindi ka na mahirapan sa audition mo sa korea."i heard kyle behind me.he's right.

"tara audition tayo?you know how to play guitar naman right?if ever na makapasok at makapag audition tayo,we can form a group."i told him.

"yeah sure.for you."he agreed so i smiled at him.mamaya pa naman ang audition so pumasok muna kami sa first period.i'm excited!
