Chapter 12
"SAAN KA RAW i-aassign, Ash?" Tanong ni Clementine.
She's talking about the OJT. We're back at school today and it was exactly the topic. I-aassign kami sa iba't-ibang lugar kung saan may open for on the job training.
Inilagay ko ang bag ko sa lamesa ng cafeteria at umupo. "I still don't know. Hindi pa nagse-send si Sir ng email sa akin e. How 'bout you?"
"Hindi rin. Baka naman nagbago ang isip ni Sir at iaanounce niya nalang in person."
Napatangu-tango ako sa sinabi niya. We already bought snacks at seven-eleven earlier kaya hindi na kami bumili pa rito sa cafeteria.
Clemy's been wanting to be a Flight Attendant that's why she's currently taking Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management. Gayunpaman, pareho lang naman kami ng professor sa OJT kaya nagtatanungan nalang kami.
Bevien's taking Bachelor of medicine, bachelor of Surgery(MBBS) since she wants to be a doctor. Ibig sabihin, huli siyang makakagraduate sa amin ni Clemy dahil lima't kalahating taon siyang mag-aaral.
Yes, we have different courses. But we still do hang-out since we're high school buddies and this is already a habit. Eating and having fun with them.
"Damn. Gusto ko na yatang mag-shift ng course."
Pareho kaming napatingin ni Clemy nang magsalita si Bevien. Her face looks so sad.
"Bakit naman? Ngayon pang isa't kalahating taon nalang nag inaaral mo? Duh. Ang oa mo naman Vien."
She pouted, "Minsan ko nalang kayo makikita kapag nagsimula na iyong 12 months compulsory rotatory internship ko."
Natawa ako sa sinabi niya.
"And kung nag-shift ka, sa tingin mo ba makakasabay ka pa rin sa amin? No. Dahil syempre babalik ka sa una. Atsaka hindi naman kami magkasama ni Ash e. Sa isang aircraft ako maaasign, Vien. At sa isang kompanya naman si Ash." Pagpapaliwanag ni Clemy kay Vien.
"Yeah. I'm just saying. As if namang papayagan ako ni Mommy at Daddy na mag-shift no?"
That's right. Bevien belongs to a family of doctors. And her parents wants her to become like them. Ang maging isang tanyag na doktor. But I doubt if Vien's just doing this for her parents. Sa napapansin ko, gusto niya rin naman siguro ang course niya. Sa tingin ko gusto niya talagang maging doktor.
"Right. Ipagpatuloy mo nalang 'yan."
I sighed.
It had been a week since that day happened. The day that I drove Keifer away from me. Hindi na nga siya nagpakita simula pa noon. And I hate myself for missing his presence.
Itinaboy ko siya. Dapat masaya ako. Dapat masaya ako dahil maiiwasan ko na siya at maiiwasan ko nang maramdaman ulit ang sakit na naramdaman ko kay Nikki.
But I'm not.
Pero kahit ganoon ang nararamdaman ko, hindi ko paiiralin 'to. I have to be strong no matter what. Kaya pinipilit ko ang sarili kong maging abala sa ibang bagay kagaya ng pagbabasa ng libro tungkol sa mga fashion designing.
"May problema ka, Ash?" I automatically gazed at Vien.
Napakurap kurap muna ako bago ako napilitang ngumiti at umiling. "I'm just tired."
Bakas ang pagdududa sa mukha ng dalawa.
"Something's really off with you." I browed, "minsan mo nalang kami sigawan. Minsan mo nalang din kami iniirapan. OMG, nagbabagong buhay ka na ba, beshy? For good?!"
