Entry 05

I don't know how I survived the one whole month and a half without throwing a punch or a kick to Dax's face. Yes, it's been that long already. I can't also believe that it's been already almost two months since the school year started and there's no day had passed that, that guy never ruined my peaceful day. Simula nang makilala ko siya ay naging maingay ang tahimik kong mundo. He will appear out of nowhere to say things I'm not interested to hear. Kahit inamin niya noon na alam niyang naiinis ako sa kaniya— kaya siya nag-apologize— ay patuloy pa rin siya sa kaniyang pangungulit.

Hindi ko alam kung anong pinaglalaban ng determinasyon niya na lagi akong gambalain. Susunod siya kahit saan ako magpunta, magsasalita siya kahit hindi ko siya kinakausap, ngingiti at kakaway siya kahit hindi ko siya pinapansin. I just don't understand him. Especially that after he apologized, and he seemed like he'll changed the way he shows himself in front of me, I thought he'll finally stop. But he never did. Or maybe not yet.

"Bababa lang ako, Tri, hija. Titignan ko kung ayos na ang tanghalian mo."

Nag-angat ako ng tingin mula sa libro na aking binabasa at tinanguan si Nanay. She went out of my room and closed the door. It's Sunday today, again, and I just came back home from Church. It's not that I really care how fast the days are passing by, but it still surprises me whenever I realized that days, weeks, or months, had already passed without me getting aware of it.

Nalalapit na rin ang midterm exam kaya naman mas nagiging madalas ang paalala sa'kin ni Daddy na kailangan kong doblehin ang sipag ko sa pag-aaral. Wala akong ibang iniisip sa school hanggang pag-uwi kundi pag-aaral. I trust myself and I don't doubt my own skills, but I refuse to believe that I can always be the best like my parents want. I can't be perfect. I can't do best things always.

I resume reading the book I bought online last year, dahil apparently ngayon lang ako nagka-time na basahin ito. It's a classic English novel written by Louisa May Alcott. Nasa kalagitnaan na ako dahil kahapon ko pa naman ito sinimulan. I'm a fast reader and I can finish a book in one sitting, however, this book is too thick to finish in one sitting.

I was browsing another page when something caught my attention. Binaba ko ng kaunti ang libro at mula sa aking kama ay inikot ko ang paningin sa buong kwarto. Nang wala akong makitang ano mang kakaiba ay ibinalik ko ang atensiyon sa pagbabasa.

I flipped another page when I heard it again. It sounds like a thing or what is being thrown, or guni-guni ko lang? I ignored it again when I finally heard it clearly. It's the sound of something falling.

Falling? What kind of falling?

I decided to close the book and placed it on the table near my bed. I jumped out of my mattress and lifted my head to check the ceiling. Wala namang crack ang ceiling ko kaya siguradong hindi iyon ang naririnig ko. I turned around to check every stuff I have when my ears detected where that strange sound is coming from.

With my determination and curiosity combined to find out what it could be, I walk towards the balcony. Nakakasigurado akong dito nanggagaling ang tunog na iyon. Tunog na kanina ko pa naririnig dahilan para hindi ako makapag-focus ng maayos sa binabasa ko.

"Where these came from?" I hissed to myself as I bend my knees to grab the small stones scattered on the floor of my balcony.

My eyes narrowed as I tried to check where these all came from when my head was slightly hit by something. Napahawak ako sa likod ng ulo ko at kahit hindi naman masakit ay nairita pa rin agad ako. I abruptly stood and walked towards the railings because I finally realized that there is someone throwing pebbles on my balcony.

And I wasn't wrong.

That idiotic smile coming from an idiot himself is standing a little bit further under my balcony. Nang hindi niya agad ako napansin na sumilip ay nakita ko kung paano siya umambang magbabato ulit ng pebbles. I gritted my teeth to control my irritation.
