Embracing My Shepherd [COMPLETED]

Chapter 8

Doll...

After what he said I couldn't help myself but to think deeper. Progress not perfection. It's not that easy to do. Lalo na't kung alam mong madami ang umaasa sa'yo... na may na aantay sa'yo maging isang perpektong tao... na may mad-dissapoint kapag... hinayaan ko ang sarile ko...

I wasn't able to enjoy my youth. Bata palang ako tutok na ako sa pag a-aral... kasi hindi naman ako katulad ng iba na kahit hindi mag review nakaka-perfect. I'm not gifted to be naturally smart like others, kailangan ko pang mag sunog ng kilay para lang sa mataas na grades na 'yan.

To satisfy them... To satisfy... her....

I smiled as I noticed the growing the reader's view. I couldn't help but to feel kilig as I read the readers' compliment towards my works. These are my type of blush.

The day has already passed by and here I am getting ready for another day in school.

Nang matapos mag ayos ay hindi na ako kumain nang umagahan. Hindi ako kumakain ng umagahan, hindi na ako sanay kumain... I eat too little...

"Hey," Nagulat ako nang makita kong nakasandal si maivann sa poste ng ilaw malapit sa aming bahay suot ang kaniyang uniform.

"Ginagawa mo dito?" My forehead creased as I ask him that question while walking towards him.

"Hi rei!"

Napalingon naman ako sa likod nito at nakita si felix na naka squat sa lapag habang may hinahawakan na pusa.

"Ginagawa n'yo dito?" I asked curiously while watching him pat the cat's head.

"Sinusundo ka," kindat nito kaya napalingon ako kay maivann na nag kibit lang nang balikat.

"Kaninong idea 'to?" Pumeywang ako sa harapan nila habang tinataasan silang dalawa ng kilay.

"Si ven-" felix couldn't finish his word when he was suddenly cut off.

"Are you just gonna talk? We're gonna be late." Saad ng lalakeng naka sandal sa poste ng ilaw bago umayos ng tayo.

Napakibit balikat na lang ako at naunang mag lakad papuntang sakayan, ramdam ko naman ang pag sunod nila sa akin.

"Hindi ba't di naman taga dito 'yan?" I asked maivann beside me as I point at felix in front na nauuna.

"I don't know. He knocked on my door earlier." Napatango ako. "I'm as shock as you are." He said making me chuckle a bit.

"Hala miu!" Napatingin ako sa harapan nang may tinawag si felix.

I saw miu stop to look at us and waved when she saw us. "Commute ka lang?" Tanong ko nang makalapit.

"Yeah. Wala ung driver eh." She said.

"Ayan! Sakto! Hati hati na tayo sa pamasahe!" Felix suggested that we all agreed on.

Sa likod na sana ako didretso ngunit may humawak sa aking bag dahilan na mapatigil ako at mapalingon.

I saw maivann holding the strap of my bag as his annoyed eyes glanced at me. My forehea creased because of the familiar emotion I saw.
