[Nhelandrie's POV]
Tiningnan ako ni Vice mula ulo hanggang paa. Nakakunot ang noo nito at parang hindi makapaniwala sa pinagmamasdan.
What the fuck daw... nagmumura pala siya-
"Ba't?!" bigla na lang niya ako hinatak sa collar ng shirt papunta sa loob.
"Sit down."
"Teka, kung papagalitan mo ako, mind as well hear my expla-"
"Sit your ass down. That's an order, Mr. Aguilar," napa-igting na lamang ang panga ko bago sinunod yung utos niya.
Pinanood ko siyang pumasok sa restroom at pagbalik niya ay madala na siyang maliit na puting box. Nilapag niya sa lamesa at binuksan bago umupo sa tabi ko.
Tahimik niyang kinuha ang isang maliit na ointment sa box at napaatras ako nung akmang lalagyan niya na sana ang pasa sa pisngi ko.
"Ice dapat, hindi ointment," iling ko.
"I prefer using this. It's an ointment made by my family. I know how to use this thing, so shut up," napatikom na lamang ako ng labi at napapikit nung dahan-dahan niyang nilagyan ng ointment ang pasa ko.
"Woah, it's cold," reaksyon ko nung ilang segundo ang dumaan matapos niyang lagyan ng ointment ang pasa ay unti-unti itong nagiging malamig at ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang sarap sa pakiramdam na gamutin.
"See? You should try trusting me kahit paminsan-minsan lang," she smiled. Wait... she smiled? Napatulala ako nung may biglang kumalabog sa loob ng dibdib ko. Her smile is genuine and like a star you're willing to stay up all night just to witness it.
Nung napansin niya ang reaksyon ko ay mabilis ding napawi ang ngiti niya... ang kanyang ngiti na gusto ko ulit makita.
"Y-you just smiled," tila hindi gusto ng isip ko na sarilihin ko lang ang nararamdaman ko.
"Oo naman. Tao rin ako. Ano akala mo sa 'kin, robot?" I chuckled. That was my first impression of her.
"Nagmura ka rin kanina," I recalled.
"I was just worried after seeing your face but I realized na sanay ka pala sa mga ganito... after hearing things from your parents." Yeah, right. She's obliged to know everything about me dahil sa bahay niya ako titira sa buong buwan.
Nilagyan niya ng anti-septic ang cotton bago maingat na nilagay sa mga gasgas at hiwa sa panga ko para linisin ang mga sugat.
"Are you with Mr. Klaxira?" nagulat ako sa tanong niya.
"Paano mo nalaman?"
"Your shirt. Mr. Klaxira is the only student I know who changes his uniform every after school. He always wear nothing but H&M brand." I looked down on my shirt and realized na H&M nga talaga ang suot ko. Guess wala akong kasalanan na alam ni Vice President na siya kasama ko.
"Di mo ba siya isusumbong o kahit ako?"
"Wala naman sa rules and I think it's a wise decision," she said bago nilagay ang used cotton sa isang plastic. I can say that she's fit for her role as a Vice President and I don't think the 'heartless' fits her.
"Napikon ako kanina sa nakasalamuha namin ni Prince at hindi ko lang napigilan ang sarili ko. Masyadong bad temper kasi ako at ginugulpi ko ang mga taong nakakapagpikon sa akin." I explained with a sigh.
"I understand," she nodded her head and I was left breathless when she cleared some few strands of my hair away from my face. Our face is just inches away from each other but I couldn't be distracted by what she said.
"No one understands me." Umayos siya ng upo sa tabi ko matapos kong sabihin iyun.
"I fully understand you, Mr. Aguilar. We're just exactly the same. Pain is the real reason why we're alive." I glanced at her face but it shows no emotion... but something inside me felt that she's glad.
"You don't know me, Miss Vice President." No one does. Vice doesn't have any idea about what happened to me in the past and just thinking about it again made me clenched my fists.
"I don't need to know everything about you to understand what you feel," she don't get it.
"You don't know what pain is. Well, you have a perfect life. You're a Student Council Officer, you have a good circle of friends, you have your own house, and everyone admires you. That's heaven, not pain." Nais ko lang iparating kung gaano siya kaswerte. Madami siguro diyan na na-iinggit sa kinatatayu-an niya ngayon.
"Perfect life? Di mo matatawag na perfect life 'to. My life is not a synonym of heaven. You think I wanted all this? You think i'm happy, Mr. Aguilar?" Humarap siya sa akin and even her face is merely showing any emotion, I could still see a single tear hiding in her eyes.
"Siguro ito yung sinasabi nila na life is fair dahil unfair ito sa ating lahat. You wanted a life like mine and I wanted a life like yours. Nagiging unfair lang ito sa pananaw natin kasi di tayo kuntento sa kung anong meron tayo. You think magiging fair ang life kung magkakaparehos tayo ng buhay? I don't think so. We, humans, want something more than we always receive."
She got a point... but i'm curious of why the heck she's not happy with her life at all.
"What about you, Mr. Aguilar? Are you happy with your life?"
I have a sinful past that always stop me from moving forward and I feel empty.
"I'm not," I answered honestly.
"Nakikita mo ang mga bagay na meron ako pero hindi mo makita yung mga bagay na nasa iyo. You have an amazing parents na hindi ka iniiwan kahit anong mangyari, you can freely go against the rules without minding other's opinions and you have a friend like Prince. Nakikita lang natin kung ano ang kulang but either way, we're both the same and that's what I like about you," she raised my chin using her finger at sinalubong ng mga tingin ko ang kumikislap niyang mga mata habang pinagmamasdan ang mukha ko.
Vice President is acting weird. We're definitely complete opposite. How come we're alike?
"I want to show you something. Follow me."
