If he gives you peace of mind, you are with the right person.
That thought lingered inside my head these past months while I'm in a relationship with Reed Declan. Kahit hindi kami magkausap all the time, kahit hindi siya nagte-text minsan, it didn't bother me. Ewan ko, basta ang alam ko lang, I'm at peace.
Sa loob ng walong buwan, hindi man lang ako nag-aalala na baka may iba na siya or something because he assured me that I'm the only one.
“Ate Haze, okay lang po ba kayo? You look creepy po. Kanina pa kayo nakangiti,“ Solanna's voice echoed inside the room.
Ngumisi lang ako at kinuha ang worksheet niya. Kanina pa pala ako nakangiti. Hindi ko mapigilan, eh. Sa walong buwang relasyon namin ay hindi pa ako umiyak. Those months were filled with joy and love. Isang karangalan para sa isang taong katulad ko na hindi pa lubusang naging masaya sa buong buhay ko.
“Sana hindi niya makita. Please... please.”
Kunot-noong nilingon ko si Solanna. She's mumbling words I couldn't understand while her eyes were closed.
“Bakit nasa credit side ang depreciation expense? It should be in the debit side,” ani ko habang nakatingin sa papel.
Hindi siya umimik kaya napalingon ako. My eyes widen when I saw tears running down her cheeks.
“Solanna, what's wrong?” I panicked.
She sobbed silently. Tumayo ako at hinagod ang likod niya. Bakit bigla-bigla nalang umiiyak 'to?
“A-Ate... I'm sorry. I'm just pressured po.”
“Shh... it's okay.” Pinunasan ko ang pisngi niya gamit ang hinlalaki.
“Mababa po ang grades ko noong midterms sa FABM. Nahihiya po ako kay Mommy because she expected me to excel in that subject. I only got 87 po at mas mataas si Precy sa 'kin because she got 90!”
Natigilan ako. Nagkulang ba ako sa pagtuturo sa kaniya? Did I failed her?
“It's not your fault, Ate. Kasalanan ko po kasi naubos ko po 'yong time ko kakanood ng kdrama instead of reading my book. I even forgot the difference between the major accounts! Nalilito na po ako,” she exclaimed hopelessly and cried again.
“Grade 12 ka na, Solanna. Dapat gamay mo na ang basic informations sa subject na 'yan.” I sighed heavily. “Fine. Let's have a review regarding that matter. Sa major accounts ka lang ba nalilito?”
Tahimik siyang tumango.
Muli akong umupo at kumuha ng papel. Nilista ko ang mga dapat niyang matutunan para sa araw na ito.
“Okay, let's start with the assets. Uulitin ko, ang current assets ay short-term while the noncurrent assets are long term.”
“Yes, Ate. I remember the difference of the two.”
“Hmm. Kapag sinabi ko ang account name, you should classify it as Current or Non current assets. Do you understand?”
“Y-Yes po,” she said nervously.
Tinali ko muna ang mahabang buhok bago magsimula. Hanggang baywang na ang haba nito kaya medyo naiinitan ako kahit may aircon.
“Cash?”
“C-Current Asset...” alangan niyang sagot. Naglilikot ang mga mata.
“Inventories and supplies?“
“Current Asset.”
“Short-term investment?“
“Current Asset.”
