Chapter 13
"Cheers to another anniversary, Shamxia University!"
Hundreds of woohs and whistles aired for the next ten seconds. Halos mabingi ang tainga ko. To make it worse, hindi pa kami nakakaupo simula noong dumating kami. Every seat was occupied here.
"Weird talaga ng mga tao, 'no?" Nakangiwing ani Derwick. "Why would they be happy for being older? It sucks. Makes me want to kill myself more."
"Hindi ka para maging suicidal ngayon, Der." Si Maelle.
"I'm just saying. Ang hirap maging matanda. Masakit na nga ang katawan mo, mas masakit pa sa bulsa. More age, more expenses!"
Undeniably yes.
"For now, let us all wait for another speaker!"
We all groaned. Especially me. Do I still have to say that I have gone through this event for like... almost half of my life?
"Good morning, students!"
"Should we leave the campus?" Derwick suggested.
"It's kind of too late for that." Maelle said.
I crossed my arms.
She's right. Mas ayos na rin sigurong maghintay—labag man sa loob ko.
"Our university has been our home for a long time. It has never been easy to keep everything..."
To hell with this.
Hindi na ako nakatiis. Kinuha ko muna ang phone ko upang maglibang. I was thinking of playing pool for a while when I saw a message. It's from the flower shop.
Ser, xori ho borlog na tulip. Bka ho my iva p kyong us2?
Kumunot ang noo ko.
What?
I think it's the first time na naka-receive ako ng text mula sa may-ari ng flower shop. And boy, was I expecting to have a head to head comprehension with a couple of sentences?
Hello, no.
"Uy, ano iyan?" Pag-usisa ni Derwick na ikinatuwa ng isip ko.
He might understand this message more than me. I don't know, I used to think na ako ang pinaka-jejemon sa aming magpipinsan, hindi pala talaga!
Napangiwi siya. "Jejemon amputa. Textmate mo?"
"What do you mean textmate?" Apela ko.
Natawa siya. "Wala! Kimmy lang!"
"What does it says?"
Kinalabit niya si Maelle na bored habang nakatingin sa harapan. Agad naman nitong nilingon ang kaibigan. Tumaas ang kilay niya at saka lumipat ang tingin sa akin at sa phone.
Nangiwi rin siya. "Sino iyan?"
"Ewan ko kay Rhys."
"Can you just tell me what does it says?"
"You can't understand that?" Kuryosong tanong ni Maelle.
"Yeah..."
"Siyempre, rich boy!"
Stereotypes again. "Nakakaintindi naman ako. Ibang level lang talaga iyan."
"Sabi mo boss, eh."
"Wala na raw iyong tulip." Pagta-translate ni Maelle. "Baka may gusto ka pang iba?"
My forehead wrinkled.
That's rare. Mukhang ngayon lang nawalan hg tulips sa shop. Kung kailan pa talaga gusto kong bumawi?
