PASSION

Xandriah Evory Alvendino
(POV)

"hi auntie" malumanay kong bati kay auntie  Ellyciah nang makapasok ako sa loob ng office niya. Pinatawag nya kase ako dahil sa upcoming event ng intramurals at mukang alam ko na kung anong mangyayare ngayon.

haysss

"hey sweetie how are you?" panimula nito ng makita ako at nung maiangat niya ang kaniyang ulo ay napakunot ang mga kilay nito.

"I'm fine. " bored kong sabi tsaka pinaglaruan ang mga daliri ko.

"what's with that look sweetie? aren't you happy to see me?" she asked wearing a worried expression.

"That's isn't about the reason aunt, stop pretending to have no clues." walang kagana-gana kong turan at napabuntong hininga...

"come here." she said while staring straight to my eyes.

Before I could come near to her I suddenly looked away. Ewan ko ba dito kay auntie may times na napakademanding pero i can't blame her, para naman din kase sa akin yun nga lang may times na hindi ako sang-ayon dahil ayaw na ayaw kong maraming iniisip.

"Ouch.. auntieee!!" I irritatedly said when she suddenly snao her finger to my forehead and i swear na masakit yonn.

"stop pouting and do what i say, napag-usapan na natin toh nung nakaraan araw Xandriah ang you definitely agreed. " she enpanded her explanation that made me even more pouted.

wow this is the first time she called my name.

"auntie naman e, andami ko na nga pong iniisip dadagdagan mo pa, tsaka napakademanding mo po eh di naman kayo ang mapapagod." reklamo ko dito kaya muli akong nakatanggap ng pitik sa noo.

"I know I'm being too much to demand you Xandriah but it's only for your own good and your ti--father also expected you to win this battle at gusto nyang malaman na handa ka na magmanage nito and so am I. " she said and i could see a little bit confusion to her eyes..

"yeah auntie ano pa nga po ba magagawa ko? if you may excuse myself po mauuna na po ako at marami pa po akong gagawin." walang gana kong turan at lalabas na sana ako ng office niya ng bigla niya akong hawakan sa braso gamit ang kanan niyang kamay..

"Xandriah umayos ka.. It is inappropriate to forgo someone behind lalo na't hindi pa tayo tapos mag-usap. " may bahid na diin ang bawat tono nito sa pananalita kaya napakagat labi nalang ako at pumikit saglit.

"sorry po.." mahina kong tugon at huminga ng malalim. "but please auntie let me excuse myself i need something to do pa po." i said without gazing to her eyes.

"Xandriah..." mariin niyang turan ng maglakad ako kaya napahinto ako.

"what is it po auntie?" i did my best not to crack my voice.

"I'm sorry.. it is for your own good and i want the best for you so please do what i say. " sabi pa nito at kita ko sa mga mata niya ang pag-aalala pero wala siyang nakuhang sagot mula sa akin..

Agad kong binuksan ang pinto at tumakbo papuntang elevator para pumunta sa rooftop ng makapagpahangin, tutal wala pa naman akong next subject dahil sa may sakit pa si professor zene.

I am busy watching the beauty of the nature while taking a deep breathing so thatvi could comfort myself. Ayoko kasing lagi nalang si amora at mga kaibigan ko ang nasasabihan ng problema ko ngayon dahil alam kong busy sila and for now, i want to peace my mind alone.

"Penny for you thoughts?" someone asked me from befind kaya di na nakakapagtakang magugulat ako.

"what the freak!? are you going to kill m--oh sorry professor " I apologize quickly when i realized that ate ven is the one who talked.
