Does it look good? No, add more details. Okay! Now i know what to do. Hmm, but something ain't right here... Why can't it look perfect? Damn it! What the f---?
"Huh?" I came back to reality when i felt like someone was watching me.
"Ikaw po ang nag-drawing niyan?" I looked at the kid while still processing what just happened.
"Yes, kid. Why did you ask?" I answered his question.
"Nothing po. It looks beautiful po kase. Hehe." The kid said with sincerity.
I know.
"Thanks!" I said.
Shit! I don't know. I don't know how to build up a conversation with this kid. Shit! What if he's just kidding? Or laughing deep inside?
Then suddenly, I remembered something.
Tears are starting to come out from my eyes. I felt so miserable, but i couldn't just break down infront of an innocent kid.
...
Dumiretso ako sa library upang makapag-aral sa exam mamaya. Pinili ko ang pinakamalayong parte ng lamesa. So that, i can study peacefully.
While studying... i saw the same kid from the Art Room.
Then, his gaze turned into mine darkly while he smiled like a creep.
Kumunot ang noo ko. Anong problema ng batang ito ha?
Panic is running through the veins of my mind. Like shit! Of all student, ako pa talaga ang pinakahuling hindi pa nakapasa. My hands are trembling already. Damn! I can't handle this horrible feeling.
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag pagkatapos ng lahat. Dala dala ang aking mabigat na bag. I decided to go to a coffee shop for a while.
"Cheese Cake and Cappuccino, please." I ordered.
"With milk?" The cashier asked.
I simply said "no" and then found a comfortable table for my self.
"Please, let me work here." I begged for the ninth time.
The owner gave me a disgusted look.
"What can you do? Using that hands of yours? Hindi ka ba pinapakain sa inyo? E maski pagserve siguro ng orders mabali yang buto mo!" Ang pinakawalang salita nito.
Masakit.
Unti unti akong nawawalan ng pag-asa. Everyone betrayed me. And yet, here I am, struggling to survive. Facing all their karmas like I deserve it.
That's when I realized that my life was messed up.
"Here's your order, Ma'am."
Did I space out again?
"Thanks!" I said.
I sighed. Ano pa bang bago?
