Case 2: The Secret of Artisan
Eats (The Journalist's Work
Chapter, Part One)
ROSALINDA
"WHY did you leave at Kendo Club?" I asked, as I gave him a cold water bottle. Tinanggap niya naman iyon saka ako'y tumabi sa kaniya.
"I don't want to stay at that club anymore, they are just pissing me off. Gusto nila, lagi sila ang tama at walang balak na makikinig sa'kin kahit sandali lang." Nangangalit niyang sabi habang binubuksan ang takip. "Anong tingin nila sa'kin? Walang ka-alam-alam sa kendo? I've been doing kendo since I was five. They shouldn't question my skills and experience." Nilagok niya ang lahat ng iyon ng isang inuman. His eyebrows telling me how pissed he is, with his frustrating eyes.
I don't know how we become close. But after that murder case, we become open to each other and act like we have known each other for years. Naging malapit kami sa isa't-isa at palagi kaming magkasama. He's comfortable with me, and I am too.
"Like, what exactly?"
"They refuse to join the competition in August. They simply want to sideline me," he explained. "Their goal is to keep me from shining in front of others; they crave all the attention for themselves. Tch!" Napailing ito.
"Aren't they skilled?"
"They are, but they can't beat me. Numerous Kendo mentors want me at their seminars and workshops - and always brag me to the other mentors in Kendo, that's why these fools hate me even more."
"Noon pa sila ganyan?"
"Oo, noong junior high pa. Gusto ko ngang umalis rito para walang gulo pero ayaw ng tatay ko." Inis niyang sabi.
No wonder why he is always so furious with them. Tinapon niya ang water bottle sa malapit na basurahan at muling bumalik sa tabi ko. But this time there's no space between us, kaya autoamtiko akong lumayo ng konti sa kaniya. I don't want people to think we're something or whatsoever that could possibly create a rumour.
"Of all clubs, why do you choose the Journalism Club?"
"Noon pa lang talaga ay interesado na ako sa ganyang profession."
"Why?"
"Because of my mother." He looked at me and went on. "She influenced me and inspires me, seeing her on the news and her own platform really gives me light and more prone to knows deeper of what's the Philosophy of Justice." He said it calmly, but the expression on his face said otherwise. He looks so angry, for no reason.
"I see, but about the reason why you call me here?"
"Right, I just want to do me a favor." A favor, huh? "I'm not actually an official member of the Journalism Club yet, they told me that there's something we should do that's part of the application. All of the students who apply to the club should have given us at least a writing report or blog to be passed. It depends on us what kind of topic we will talk about to our work. If they like our work, we will officially be members of the club and if they don't then, unfortunately the students have to find another club to join in. Any content, as long as it is not dangerous or traumatizing." Mahaba-haba niyang salaysay.
"So?"
"They told us that they will appreciate it more if it's a blog rather than writing, dahil marami nang mga members na nagsusulat kaysa mag blog. They encourage us to make it a blog instead, if I follow what they want, I'm surely an official club member, right?"
