“A-Are you sure? You really want me to go there?” my boyfriend asked me and i just smiled bitterly.“Oo naman‚ she’s there still waiting for you” i said and a tear escape from his eyes. tf‚ bakit? akala ko ba ginusto niya ‘to?
“L-Love...please‚ a-ayoko” he said and hold my hands.
I removed his hands‚ “Sinabi mo sakin na mahal mo siya. Limang taon na tayo‚ tapos malalaman ko na two years na pala kayo. Nakakatuwa ‘di ba? Bakit hindi mo panindigan ang bata?”
“Kaya ko naman na akuin at panindigan ang bata pero‚ w-wag naman ganito na pinagtatabuyan mo ako” kahit nauutal at mahina ang boses niya ay naintindihan ko pa rin.
“Kung ayaw mo na pumunta doon ay aalis na ako. Marami pa akong dapat na gawin na mas mahalaga pa sa usapan natin” i said and i left him alone.
I know that leaving him alone will be the best thing I will do in my entire life, and I guess was right.
Nabalitaan ko na pagkatapos naming magusap ay umalis na sila ng bansa kasama ‘yung babae niya,
I just want him to be happy and their child to have a complete and happy family,
Like he always wanted before when we’re still together.
Nagsimula na din akong ipagpatuloy ang pangarap ko, ang maging teacher ng mga bata.
I chose this job because, I just want to follow and rebuild what my mother made.
Napili naman agad ako bilang isang kindergarten teacher malapit lang sa tinitirhan kong apartment.
Umaga hanggang hapon ang pasok ko kaya pagdating sa gabi, gagawa naman ng lesson plan ng mga bata at mga pwede pang ituro sa kanila.
Kauuwi ko lang sa bahay nang biglang may nag-text sa akin,
From: Principal
Good afternoon, Miss Kaiya Maurizia. May isang bagong student na nag-transfer lang kahapon, I want to move that child to your section. If you want to accept it, just come to my office tomorrow.
Another student? Hindi ba halos one week na ang pasukan,
“Kaiya?” isang boses nang lalaki ang narinig ko,
Iminulat ko ang mata ko at nakita ko si papa at mama,
“Take care of yourself, love. Kumain ka ng masustansya at marami, para naman tumaba ka” laging paalala nila sa akin, tuwing dadalawin nila ako sa panaginip ko
Nagising ako sa sinag ng araw na nagmumula sa bintana ko,
“Good morning, universe!” maligayang saad ko at saka nag-iinat ng katawan,
Nagbukas muna ako ng Facebook account ko at,
Bakit puro notification ‘to? Pero hindi ko na lang pinansin at bigla na lang nagchat ang co-teacher ko sa akin na kaibigan ko,
From: Akemi Sylveon
Uy, bumangon ka na diyan at may chika ako sayo!!
From: Akemi Sylveon
‘yung ex mo nakabalik na daw ng bansa, at take note single naman daw pala ang ex mo
From: Akemi Sylveon
May company na din pala na manage ang ex mo, grabe na ang news ngayon
Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko nang sunod-sunod na nabasa ang chat sa akin ni Akemi,
Agad akong naghanda para pumasok na kahit wala pa akong kain, baka ipagkalat na agad ni Akemi ang balita sa iba
Habang nagla-lock ng gate ng apartment ko ay bigla na lang may nagbusina sa likuran ko,
“Daichi?”
“Hop in, he wants to see you”
“No, he won’t. After 7 years, I don’t want to see him. I know that he’s happy with his family” saad ko at nagdire-diretso na sa paglalakad,
Hindi naman sobrang layo ang school na pinapasukan ko pero honestly nakakapagod pa rin,
Nang makarating ako sa tapat ng room ko ay kita ko ang kumpulan ng mga teacher at mga bata na may sinisilip sa loob ng room ko,
“Excuse me, padaan po!” sigaw ko para maagaw ko ang atensyon nila,
“Ayan na si Ma’am Kaiya!”
“Swerte ni Kaiya, ano?”
“May anak na pala sila?”
Rinig ko na mga bulungan at sigaw ng ibang students at teachers sa akin,
Nang makapasok ako ay nakita ko siya nakasandal sa maliit na upuan na pang-kinder lang naman na bata ang kasya,
He’s wearing his white long sleeve polo na naka-tuck in sa trousers niya na black,
He brush his hair when he saw me, bigla na lang siyang ngumiti
“Hi po!” nagulat naman ako nang biglang may lumapit sa akin na bata na hindi nalalayo sa mukha niya,
Anak nila ‘to, anak niya ‘to sa ibang babae at hindi sa akin.
Galit man ako pero sa amo ng mukha ng batang babae na ito ay parang nawawala na ang galit ko,
Be professional, Kaiya. Inhale, Exhale, Inhale and Exhale,
“Are you the new student?” I kneel to the floor, para pumantay ako sa kaniya
And she just nodded at me,
“You’ll be my new teacher po?” she asked me and i pinched her cheeks,
“Yes, baby” I said and she ran towards to Kenichi,
“Daddy, she’s beautiful right? Like mommy?” she asked Kenichi, at ngumiti lang siya sa bata
Nagulat ako nang tinapunan niya ako ng tingin,
“But, your mommy is so much beautiful than your teacher, baby” he answered,
Kung hindi ba nang-aasar ang isang ‘to? Hindi ko talaga tatanggapin ang bata na ‘to
Pansin ko ang pagkawala ng mga tao sa paligid ng room ko,
Lumapit muli sa akin ang bata habang hawak niya sa kamay ang daddy niya,
“Ma’am Kaiya, I’m Akia Lucerne po. And this is my Daddy Ken po” she joyfully introduced herself to me,
Pero bakit Lucerne? I thought that he’s the father of Akia?
“Baby, your mother is waiting for you in the car, daddy will talk to your teacher for a minute” at hinalikan niya sa noo ang bata,
She waved at me at agad na tumakbo palabas ng room,
“Your reaction when Akia introduced herself gives me a hint that your thoughts will kill you again” he whisper to my ears,
“Don’t treat Akia the treatment you gave me before. First of all, listen to her first when she made a mistake and don’t just listen to those people around you. Akia knows herself more than anyone else” he added and he walked away.
His words might kill me, kung nakinig ba ako sa kaniya magiging ayos kami? Dapat ba hindi ako narinig sa sinasabi ng iba at mas nakinig ako sa kaniya?
But his words aren’t that worth trusted, he once said that he won’t say anything that will hurt my heart.
He once said that he’ll be there when I need him,
And he once said that he will listen to me through ups and downs, but he won’t.
Why would I listen to a cheater like him, again?
