“Bayad po.”

I was on my way to school ng nilamon nanaman ako ng fiction world. Nasa jeep ako ngayon, at dahil medyo malayo pa yung destinasyon ko ay naisipan kong magbasa ng libro na binili ko kamakailan lang. Reading is my hobby, no! Reading is my comfort.

“Just like people, happiness come and go. There's no such thing of being happy forever. There will be always a day that will make you hate the world. That's how things work.” Pagbasa ko sa isip.

Come and go, it's just a simple word but it has a lot of hidden reasons.

Napabuntong hininga ako, does it make sense? I value people, but they didn't value me. How unfair. Or maybe it's just me who believes that no one values me.

“Ineng paabot naman.” Napatingin ako sa aking gilid ng may maramdaman akong mga daliri. Nanayo tuloy ang mga balahibo ko.

“Ano po yun?” Kinuha ko yung nakasabit na earphones sa tenga ko para marinig ng maayos yung ale.

Maingay kasi yung jeep, tapos nakikinig pa ako sa music, kaya hindi ko talaga siya maririnig.

“Paabot ineng, kanina pa kita tinatawag.” Abot nito sa barya. Agad ko namang kinuha iyon at saka inabot sa driver. Malapit kasi ako sa driver, at ako lang naman ang pwede niyang pag abutan ng pamasahe.

“Salamat ineng.” Tinugunan ko naman siya ng may pilit na ngiti.

Nagpatuloy na ulit ako sa aking binabasa, ang ganda kasi ng kuwento nila. It's about a suicidal girl who met a man that completely changed her dark world. The man taught her what's the real purpose of life and the beauty of it. He gave her the light that symbolizes hope to continue.

The girl wishes to end her life because there was no hope for her. She felt like she was born to be just a puppet and impress the people. It's the man who save her, he taught her how to overcome the problems in life, he taught everything about how good life is. He taugh her how to be happy, a happiness that only herself could give.

How I wish there's someone like him who will teach me how to be happy too.

It's me, Aleha, a prisoner of my own imaginary thoughts. Minsan napapaisip ako, am I still living or am I just imagining things.

It's hard to fight back when you knew no one will side you. It's hard to fight when you knew that no one believes on you.

“Para po.” Pagpahinto ko sa jeep ng marating ang destinasyon.

I entered the main campus gate, I suddenly stop as I glanced to the school's building, I can see from here the top of the building and behind it is the clouds that moves from the sky. A great scenario that can be compared to a movie.

This is the place where everything begins.

Ito ang eskwelehang nagbigay ng maraming pagsubok sa buhay ko. Ito ang eskwelahang minsan ko ng tinawag na impyerno.
