The whole time I'm in school, I was frowning. Well, that was really my usual mood. Pero kakaiba ang simangot ko ngayon. There was a story behind it for this time.
Magugulat na lang ang mga kaklase ko na nagdadabog ako. Noong tinanong ako ng teacher kanina, everyone was shocked, I couldn't answer correctly.
The short-term light mood that was given by Aze last night, hanggang doon na lang 'yon. Dahil ito na ang araw ng awarding ceremony. Of course, I couldn't help but to frown. What should you expect from me?
Tapos na ang mga klase, pinapila na ang lahat ng estudyante para magpunta na sa auditorium. Nauna na ako sa auditorium dahil ako ang bibigyan ng award. Pinagpalit ako ng damit dahil mag i-speech na naman daw ako. Lahat ng bawat gawin ko sa araw na ito ay tila labag sa loob ko.
I couldn't look at those students who were with their parents, dahil naiinggit lang ako.
It is my turn now.
"And now, let us grant recognition to Nakisha Rae Lizano who took the first place in Speech Delivering Competition; carrying the name of our school. Let us give her acclamation with standing ovation!"
The whole auditorium is now filled with yells and claps as I walk the stage.
Habang hinihintay ko ang driver namin, ang mga estudyanteng napapadaan sa akin ay cinocongratulate ako. I don't respond, of course. Napapatingin lang ako sa kanila. 'Yong iba ay nagbubulungan pa noong hindi sila nakarecieve ng response from me.
Kakatapos ko lang magdinner, gutom na naman ako. Bumaba ako para kumuha ng snacks sa kusina. Sakto pabalik na ako sa kwarto nang dumating sila mom and dad.
"Naki, how was school?" Dad asked while taking off his shoes.
Now you have the guts to ask me? Hindi sana kayo magtatanong niyan kung pumunta kayo kanina.
Hindi ako sumagot, instead, dinaanan ko lang sila nang hindi sila tinatapunan ng tingin.
Bastos na kung bastos, anong gusto nilang maging reaksyon ko matapos nila akong irefuse?
I couldn't help but to cry again. I was crying while eating the snacks I got.
I screamed on my pillow to release the anger and disappointment that keeps on lingering in my system.
Until Aze chatted.
Kung nagchat ka para pagtripan ako, 'wag ngayon, please.
