The moment Mrs. Guangco entered the room, the silent yet chaotic murmuring took place. Everyone has having the same reactions and excitements except me.
With a fresh smile plastered all over her face, she greeted the whole class a ’good morning’ and everyone responded cheerfully.
“As I had mentioned last week, we will be having a special- class field trip next Saturday. The dean already signed the paper and after final deliberations, it has been decided to conduct this field trip at The Ruins at Talisay City. So, I came here today to inform everyone about this. The detailed informations about this trip was already posted at the bulletin board. Just check it out there,” Mrs. Guangco informed.
She answered some of my classmates’ questions before turning her back. But then, she faced us again before she went out of the door.
“And oh, by the way, the two majors at education department will join us also. So, expect that this would be a big trip. Prepare yourselves, okay? Bring adequate amount of water and necessities. Never forget, be with your study- partners on Saturday,” Mrs. Guangco added before she walked towards the hallway.
Umaliwalas ang mukha ko matapos na marinig ang huling sinabi ni prof.
Kung makakasabay namin ang mga nasa education department, ibig sabihin nito ay makakasama ko si Kino! Knowing his jolly and energetic personality, for sure mas magiging extra enjoyable and field trip na ’to!
Bigla tuloy akong nakaramdam ng excitement. Kung kanina ay nagdadalawang- isip pa akong sumama, ngayon ay buo na ang desisyon ko. Sasama ako sa field trip para naman magkaroon ng bagong experience. Tsaka sayang din ang instagramable pictures na hindi ko makukunan.
I tilted my head towards my side to check if what’s the person beside me has been busily doing. Nakita kong nagte- take down notes ulit siya kagaya ng palagi kong nakikita sa tuwing sinusulyapan ko ang ginagawa niya.
“What is it?” He voiced out.
“Ha?” Inosente kong tanong.
He stopped writing and I saw how he gently closed his notes before he moved his body to face me.
“You’ve been staring at me for too long. You have a question?”
Saglit akong napabusangot para mag- isip.
Should I ask him?
I mean, it’s not that I care if he will go or not. Either way, it doesn’t matter, right?
“Sasama ka?”
Bago ko pa man mapigilan ang sarili sa pagtatanong ay tuluyan nang lumabas ang mga salita sa bibig ko.
Umayos siya ng upo at isa- isang inayos ang kaniyang mga gamit sa ibabaw ng kaniyang desk. Inilagay niya ito sa loob ng kaniyang bag.
I patiently waited for his answer while I was paying attention to his every move. Nang maipasok niya ang lahat ng gamit sa bag ay isinara niya ang zipper at isinukbit ang bag sa kaniyang kanang balikat tsaka ako hinarap.
“I am not sure. But I think I won't be able to come,” he finally answered.
Tumango- tango ako.
“Oh, really?! Uy, don’t worry, okay lang!”
Hindi ko maitago ang malapad na ngiti sa aking mga labi.
Kumunot ang kaniyang noo matapos na makita ang reaksyon ko sa kaniyang sagot.
“Are that happy that I might not be able to come?”
Sunod- sunod akong umiling.
“Uy, hindi ah! I mean, baka may importante kang lakad sa susunod na Sabado. Huwag kang mag- alala, hindi naman strikta si Mrs. Guangco. Paborito ka kaya no’n! Kapag nagtanong siya, ako na ang bahala.”
