Nandito ako sa classroom and Math subject ngayon. The only subject I've hated. Math is really hard to understand that's why me and math aren't really for each other. But our teacher made me realize that Math time isn't bad at all.
"In this sequence, we need to find x." Mr. Dionson stated.
"Sir? Bakit niyo po ba hinahanap si x, eh.. ex na nga siya?" ungot ng isa kong kaklase na si Berto dahilan para magsitawanan ang buong klase dahil sa hugot nito.
"Wow.. ang lalim ng pinaghuhugutan mo ijo. Aling balon ba yan?" natatawang komento ni Sir kay Bert. "Pero ang halaga naman ng (x) ay di matutumbasan kahit nino." Patuloy ni Sir.
"The x we're finding here.. is as same as the literal x you've been saying. X in math has its big role on this sequence but the x we are finding is the solution not a problem itself. I have something to share a story who is about the X."
"Eto na magk-kwento na si Sir. Sa araw ng kabataan niya." komento naman ni Dash kaya agad namang nagsitawanan ang buong klase kasali si Sir Dionson.
"Ehem.. So, There's a friend of mine who really love his bestfriend. But his bestfriend had a boyfriend already. And my friend got really broken upon hearing that news. That his beloved doesn't love him. But that doesn't makes him leave his bestfriend, martyr na kung martyr pero siya ang laging takbuhan ng bestfriend niya t'wing nagkakaproblema o tampohan sila nung boyfriend niya, he even do advices and he really do everything just to make that girl happy even if that means breaking himself, its okay as long as that girl is laughing and smiling."
"He really didn't leave his bestfriend side. He is one call-away. 24/7 awake when it comes to this girl. And his bestfriend's relationship isn't really well. Napapadalas na 'yung iyak ng babae sa kanyang bisig at nasasaktan talaga siya para sa babae kase sa t'wing nakikita niya ang agos ng luha sa mukha nito mas doble ang sakit na epekto sa kanya non, parang pinipiga ang puso niya. He really try to divert his feelings towards other girls or ladies take note gorgeous ladies trying to get his attention but his heart chose to close its door because it just belong to only one person and that is Jeia." pagpapatuloy pa nito.
Pero what caught my attention is the name he mentioned. It was my mom. It made me gasp in shocked and everyone turns their head's on me habang ako ay natutuliro sabay iling sa aking naiisip. Hinde pwede yon. My mother's only bestfriend is him.
Tiningnan ako ni Sir, sa mga mata nang seryoso tsaka siya nagpatuloy. "Their relationship comes to an end, but their relationship got its fruit. Oo nagbunga ang relasyon nila. Nabuntis si Jeia, pero Jeia chose to kept it to herself. She didn't let her ex-boyfriend knows that their love once had a fruit. Because she thinks that her boyfriend doesn't want the baby. So my friend who really loves Jeia is willing to stand as a father to the baby, but Jeia refuses his offer. My friend got rejected and again but he didn't really leave Jeia's side. He was even there all throughout Jeia's giving birth to a cute-adorable baby girl named Amara Jeianna." I heard my classmates gasps in shock, so as me and i didn't even notice that my face already bloated in tears but i stay my sight to my teacher.
"So.. P-papa you aren't really my f-father?" As much as i wanted to stand strong but i can't help to stutter.
He sighed at my statement. "You are big now baby.. you deserved to know the truth. And yes, I am not really your father by blood but I do love you as a daughter like who's really mine." He got teary eyed as he said that statement. Napasinghap naman ang buong klase sa nasaksihan nila, hinde naman napigilan ng kaklase 'kong si Berto na magsalita.
"So, Sir ikaw yung bestfriend na super martyr????" tanong niya.
Ngumiti naman at tumango si Papa. "Amara's mom who is Jeia, died a years ago due to depression. After gaving birth to Amara. Jeia decided to tell it to her ex-boyfriend na nagbabakasakaling magkabalikan sila dahil may anak silang dalawa. Let me named her ex he's Daniel. But Daniel got already married. So he really refused and he doesn't really claimed the baby as his. That makes Jeia crazy, she can't accept what his ex have said, and she even didn't listen on what others will tell to her even her parents and even me. Napabayaan niya na ang sarili niya pati ang baby buti nalang mahal na mahal ng parents niya ang apo nila. Jeia shouted everyday that she really loves Daniel. Nasasaktan ako na makita siyang ganun pero di ko siya iniwan lagi parin akong nandun upang pakalmahin siya kahit puro kalmot at sampal lang inaabot ko sa kanya hinde ko parin siya iniwan. I make her calm with my words which doesn't really works. One day nagkasakit si Amara at dinala siya sa hospital lahat ng tao sa bahay nila Jeia ay sumama dahil sa pag-aalala sa bata kahit ako nandun ako at ako pa mismo ang nagsugod kay Amara dun kaya naiwan si Jeia don. Na dapat hinde na namin ginawa.. kase pag-uwi namin ang nadatnan namin ay si Jeia na nakalambitin at may hawak na isang pirasong papel. Dali-dali akong tumakbo papalapit sa kanya habang sandamakmak na luha ang bumubuhos sa aking mga mata baka kase... baka kase.. masasalba pa siya dahan dahan akong lumapit at tumungtong sa upuan na siguro'y ginamit niya.. At dahang niyakap siya habang dahan-dahan tinatanggal ang pagkakatali ng kumot, tsaka siya nilapag sa higaan niya at agad na pinulsuhan siya ngunit wala na akong madama at nanlalamig na siya, wala akong nagawa kundi ang humagulhol sa sakit na nararamdaman ko sa araw na'yon. Habang ako'y umiiyak sa pighati ay inabot sakin ng nanay ni Jeia ang sulat na hawak hawak ni Jeia, na naglalaman." Mahabang kwento ng papa ko habang tumutulo ang luha sa mga mata niya kaya dali dali akong lumapit at yumakap sa kanya para ipadama na ako ay nandito para sa kanya.
Niyakap at binigyan ako ni Papa ng isang tipid na ngiti habang nagpapatuloy sa kwento niya. "Ang sulat na 'yon ay naglalaman nang habilin. ARES, SIGURO'Y NABABASA MO'TO NGAYON HABANG UMIIYAK.. NGUNIT TOL 'WAG KA NANG UMIYAK, WALA KA NAMANG KASALANAN.. GUSTO KONG SABIHIN SAYO NA THANKFUL AKO NA MAYROONG IKAW SA BUHAY KO NA HINDI AKO INIWAN AT NAGSTAY KAHIT HINDI NAMAN NIYA RESPONSIBILIDAD. PRE ALAM KO NAMAN YUNG NARARAMDAMAN MO PARA SAKEN NGUNIT DI KO IYON KAYANG SUKLIAN KASE BAKA DUMATING ANG ARAW NA IWAN MOKO DAHIL LANG SA DI NA TAYO MAGKAIBIGAN KUNDI MAGKA-IBIGAN.. AYOKONG MAWALA ANG KAISA ISANG TAO NA SOBRANG IMPORTANTE SA BUHAY KO AYOKO KITANG MAWALA KAYA HINDE AKO NAGSISI SA DESISYON KO KAYA SANA WAG MONG SISIHIN ANG SARILI MO.. OH SIYA NGA PALA ALAM KONG DI MO PAPABAYAAN ANG ANAK KO IHINAHABILIN KO SI AMARA SAYO SANA WAG MONG PABAYAAN AT MAHALIN MO SIYA NG PARANG IYO GAYA NG PAGMAMAHAL MO SA ISANG TULAD KO. MAHAL KO ANG ANAK KO ARES NGUNIT DI KO SIYA KAYANG PALAKIHIN NG GANITO ANG ESTADO. Yan ang nilalaman ng sulat." sabi ni Papa habang naluluha parin kaya niyakap ko siya.
"T-thank you papa. Sa lahat nang ginawa mo para sa akin. Nagpapasalamat ako kase kayo yung naging papa ko at hinding-hindi kita ipagpapalit kahit nino. I love you po, Papa ko." Nakangiting sabi ko kay papa.
"Mahal din kita, Anak. Di man nasuklian ng iyong ina ang pagmamahal ko, binigyan naman ako ng Diyos ng pagmamahal na di matutumbasan ng kahit nino, at yun ay ang pagmamahal mo, anak ko." Naluluhang sabi ni Papa slash Math Teacher ko.
"So, that was the story of the X, class. The ex who can't really replaced with someone even the most better one, in a girl who is deeply inlove with her past. Class Dismissed." Nakangiting sabi ni Papa sa klase.
