" Celeste, kamusta? Nakita ko yung result ng assignment mo and exams. " sabi ng kanyang ama

" Ah, yes dad. I'm sorry po. " sagot ni Celeste.

" That's what I said dati diba? Hindi ka kasi nakikinig Celeste. First year ka pa lang pero anong nangyayari sayo? You should listen to me. Hindi kana natuto. " sabi ng kanyang Ina.

" I'm sorry ma. " sagot ni Celeste

" No, I guess you need a tutor. " sagot ng kanyang Ina.

" Mom?? College na ko. " sagot ni Celeste na may mataas na boses.

" Yes, college kana nga pero look at you. You can't handle yourself. " pagsagot ng kanyang Ina

" Okay, okay that's enough. Nathalia, let your kid decide for herself. " sabi ng kanyang ama

" No! Diyan ka magaling eh. Lagi mo nalang pino-protektahan yang anak mo. Kaya ano?! Kaya laging nagkakamali. Napapahamak pa. I'm too stress today, Celeste call Hanz right now. " pagalit na sabi ng kanyang Ina

* Tinawag ni Celeste si Hanz *

" Mom? Yes po? " pagtatanong ni Hanz

" May contact kaba ni Flynn? Call him right now. Yang kapatid mo, binagsak ang unang exam niya. Call him immediately because we need to talk. " sabi ni Nathalia sa anak.

" Ahh, okay po. Okay mom. " sagot ni Hanz

* Tumakbo paakyat sa kwarto niya si Celeste .. *

" Sa bawat tapak ay nasasagupa ko ang bawat pagsubok na hindi ko alam kung paano makapag papatuloy. Sinusubukan man ngunit laging kulang. Ang tanging hangad ko ngayon ay makilala at muling makita ang sarili sa litrato ng tagumpay"

" Haaaay. Lagi nalang ganito Celeste. Hanggang kailan pa kaya? " tanong ni Celeste sa sarili.

* knock knock *

" Cel? I hope things are okay.. Don't pressure yourself too much. It's normal, all of these things are still normal. " mahinhin na pagsasalita ni Maverick

" How sure are you, Kuya? It feels so unfair being the youngest. Kailan ba ako magiging kasing galing niyo? " paiyak na sagot ni Celeste.

" Magaling ka, cel. You know yourself, you know what you can do. Just trust yourself. "

" That's so easy to say, Kuya. Yes you're right! I know myself. But I can't stand for myself. I'm already 19. Pero lagi nalang may kailangan sundin? Kailangan laging bantayan? How can I grow? How can I explore?" pagrereklamo ni Celeste kay Maverick.

" I'm so sorry to hear that. I am sorry. " malungkot na pagsagot ni Maverick

" I would like to say sorry too, Celeste. Sorry if you're not chasing your dreams because of our family. But, trust me, we really want to see you achieving your own dreams. " biglang sagot ni Hanz sa usapan nila Maverick at Celeste

" Thanks for your messages, hindi ko pa birthday. Chos! I'm fine don't worry about me. Sige na, I need to take a nap. " sabi ni Celeste sa mga Kuya niya.

( The next day... )

" Celeste, get ready later after your class ha. May tutor ka mamaya by 4pm. " sabi ng kanyang Ina.

" Ahhh, oh okay po. " sagot ni Celeste.

" Sure, miss! " - Ava

" Here we go again and again. Uy! What if mag group review tayo? " - Kyle ( from class BSA-1 )

" G! I said G ako dyan! Right mga sis? " - excited na pag kakasabi ni George.

" We will join too! " - Jasmin

" Let's meet at the entrance of our school Library by 4pm. See you everyone! " - Ava

" Nag desisyon nanaman siya. Well, let's have our lunch first, mga sis? " - Lexie

" I think hindi ako makaka-join, I still need to do some things. Bye guys, I need to go na ha. " - pag pa-paalam ni Celeste

* pagpasok ni Celeste sa pinto... *

" Oh hello there, Celeste. " - pagbati ni Flynn

"

Wait.. bakit ang aga mo? 3pm pa lang? " - pagtataka ni Celeste

" Maaga kasing natapos yung ojt ko earlier kaya dumiretso nako dito. " - Flynn

" Well, wait for me. " - Celeste

" Yes, of course. Go ahead. " - Flynn

* muling bumaba si Celeste para makapag-simula sa kanilang tutor time *

" So, may I know if you're ready? " - pagtatanong ni Flynn

" Ah yes, ofcourse. " -. sagot ni Celeste

" Well, that's good to hear. Anong lesson na ba kayo this week? " - Flynn

" This is my handouts for this certain subject, it's all about business process and some methods. " - Celeste

" This is a good start, may exams na din ba kayo nextweek? " - Flynn

" Yes, nextweek daw may exam nakami. " - Celeste

" Okay, let's start. " pagaaya ni Flynn.

* Halos dalawang oras na tinuruan ni Flynn si Celeste at dito ay onti-onting natututo si Celeste sa kanyang mga First Year subjects.. *

* Pumasok sa kanilang bahay ang nanay ng magkakapatid na si Nathalia *

" So what's happening here? Dear, kamusta naman ang pag tu-tutor mo sa anak ko? " - Nathalia

" There's no problem at all, auntie. To be honest madali nga lang siyang matuto. "
- Flynn

" Well, that's good to hear. Sabi ko na eh, ikaw talaga ang fit to tutor her. Bata pa lang kayo mas sinusunod kana niya kaysa sa mga Kuya niya. Thanks for doing this, Flynn. " - pagpapasalamat ni Nathalia

" Thankyou din po, auntie. " sagot ni Flynn

* Labis na nagtataka si Celeste habang naririnig niya ang kwentuhan ng kanyang Ina at ni Flynn. Napaisip siya kung sino nga ba ang tutor niya.. *
