Karma Satomi
Call me people pleaser, I don't care.
It's life. If pleasing other people will get me a lot of friends and connection. Then, why not? I'm tired of being alone all the time, anyway.
People will always anticipate that you have a good attitude and humour if you are someone like me who doesn't have the brain and the beauty that everybody expects you to look like. How unfair, right? That's why I ended up being a people pleaser. It's hard for me to say "no" because I'm afraid of disappointment. My brain had taken the temptation to please people, to see them happy with my efforts until I was able to gain their trust, but the consequences of pleasing others didn't ever cross in my mind. Not until today.
Why did I end up in this situation? I don't know. I don't remember. I can feel the death glares of the students as I passed by their hallway. Kitang kita ko sa gilid ng aking nga mga mata ang bulungan nila dahil sa nangyari. They might think that I'm cruel because of what they think that I have done. I didn't do it, but they have evidences and I don't know where they got it from.
As I opened the door to our classroom. No one dared to speak. No one dared to look at me. They just stared blankly to the person standing in front of the class. Waiting for my arrival.
"Satomi," he said, not saying my first name. I looked at them to see their reaction, and unlike earlier, all I could see now is pure disgust and loathfulness. Pinagmasdan ko ang mga matang minsan ko ng prinotektahan ngunit wala akong makitang pagkalungkot o awa sa kanilang mga mata. How can they easily judge me without hearing my side? I guess that just how anger consume them. The good deeds you did will not be acknowledged because they expect you to be like that since you're not pretty like Emma Watson and genius as Einstein.
Napabaling ang aking paningin sa lalaking kaharap ko, na hindi ko namalayang nakalapit na pala saakin.
"Just like Icarus, you never listen. You let your wings burn for your own desire. I warned you not to let your emotion dictate your own decision," iniwas ko ang aking tingin dahil hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin. How dare him compare me to Icarus.
"Are you really sure that my wings are burnt?"
