06

Kahit saan ko ibaling ang mga mata ko hindi ko makita si Dad. He did not came to my special day. I expected him to do that. Just my Mom and Me. Hindi ko na hinintay na matapos ang program dahil agad akong umalis palabas doon. 

Nang marating ko ang bermuda grass sa malawak naming field I quickly removed my heels and let my feet touch the grass. I'm still wearing my toga and our academic regalia. I laugh a bit while remembering every memories that I have here as a president. I remember how diffident I was before, like i'm taken by coerce. At first being a leader is not I want but when time passes I learned to love it until my heart profound with it. 

My hair is waving with the wind. I slowly sat in the grass, I hugged my body tightly. I can't take the fact that I'll miss being here but it's not healthy for me anymore. Stressed, pressure, anxiety. I can't handle these things on my own in this busting environment. I want a place we're I can build my self alone without a noise and distraction––

I stopped thinking when I felt someone standing next to me. "Aren't you going to give me my own privacy here?" I mocked. I didn't bother to give it a look. I'm indolent with that. 

Akala ko ay aalis na ito pero naramdaman ko na lang ang pag upo niya sa tabi ko kaya tuluyan na akong tumingin sa kanya. Suddenly my blood boil with anger. What is he doing here? Seating next to me like an innocent guy. 

Pinagmasdan niya ang bawat detalye ng bawat palapag, like he's going to memorizes it. Ngayon ko lang napansin na may nunal pala siya sa gilid ng kanyang kilay. I immediately looked away from him. I'm mad at him so why do I feel safe whenever he's next to me? 

"Aren't you going to celebrate with them?" I asked while not looking at him. Kita ko sa gilid ng aking mata ang paglingon niya sa akin. "How about you? Aren't you going to celebrate with them?" panggagaya niya sa tanong ko. 

"For what? I'm going to leave them. I don't want to hear their complains and disparage for me." I heard him chuckling. 

"Such a puerile," he murmured. My eyes went widen. Mas lalo pa siyang natawa dahil sa mukha ko. 

"How, How could you! Kapal ng mukha mo to say that word," nanggagalaiti kong ani. I pointed my finger at his face. 

Nalukot ang mukha ko ng bigla siyang tumawa. My face went blank. My hands is itching to slap his face. He's happy to see me like this? Nang mahimasmasan siya ay inayos niya ang kanyang eyeglass at muling tumingin sa akin. His face went serious. 

Tumayo siya while I'm still seating. Nakatalikod na siya sa akin. I looked up at him. He's staring at the sky and he's murmuring something. "I'm happy that you let yourself be free from this kind of world. I'm always here for you–them." Kunot ang noo ko sa mga sinabi niya. 

Dahan-dahan siyang humarap sa akin. Nakababa ang tingin niya sa akin habang ako naman ay nakatingala sa kanya. Napa pikit ang mata ko kapag tumatama ang tirik na sinag ng araw. Hindi nawala sa paningin ko ang nakangiti niyang mukha. Pinilit kong tignan ng maigi ang mukha niya pero mas umiibabaw ang sinag raw na ngayo'y tumatama sa aking mukha. "I'm willing to meet you again, can you wait for me?" suddenly my heartbeat stopped in unfamiliar way. His eyes has spark that I can't explain with. Did his heart stopped too? 

Ilang araw ko ng hindi nakakausap si Dad, kahit sa pagkain ay hindi ko siya na dadatnan. I had no force to asked from Mom if where's Dad or what is he doing now. I knew that until now he's not accepting the fact that I choose my own plan rather than the original plan made by him. 

Sinamahan ako ni Mom sa pagpunta sa bago kong papasukang academy. This academy is second ranking in most popular academy here in the Philippines. Malaki ang pagkakaiba ng pinagmulan kong academy kaysa dito. If sa pinagmulan ko ay maraming cases ng discrimination dito ay mas lamang sa pagiging tahimik. Every student here has there own business and space. When we tour the whole campus I clearly see how they cared for the nature. A lot of trees and plants around.
