My suspension lasted for two weeks. The rest of the class gets expelled. My parents paid for the medical expenses and also sent money to the Yanongs for a nose job. It was demeaning if someone asked me.
Hindi ko alam kung paanong napapayag ang buong board na paalisin ang dalampu't siyam na estudiyante. Is my father that powerful? I know we're rich. Filthy rich. But I didn't expect that money could really do wonders.
Wala silang sinabi sa akin tungkol sa meeting. Even Mayor Escalante didn't tell me anything about the decision. I just heard my parents talking in the study room. Hindi maayos na naisara ang pintuan, kaya naman narinig ko iyon nang magbalak akong magtungo sa theater room ng manor.
"I talked to him several times, but all of those talks were technical," said Papa.
"Really? Everyone watched the video. Half of them were against Farida's two-week suspension. It was a surprise that Mayor Escalante sided with us, darling."
Mayor Escalante?
"It's still a mystery to me. That young man persuaded half of the board to be lenient to Farida. Kung tutuusin, puwede siyang mailagay sa alanganin sa ginawa niya. But he still chose to side with us."
"Marco mentioned that Mayor Escalante was a victim of bullying when he was young. Maybe he felt bad for our daughter?"
I smiled and walked away. Hindi ko alam ang buong pangyayari. Ngunit ang malaman na isa siya sa mga taong nakiusap na babaan ang parusa sa akin ay nagdulot ng matinding kasiyahan sa puso ko.
Naging mas madalas ang pag-uusap namin sa text. He's a busy person, so we didn't meet again after our last meeting. He also lent me the book I wanted that day.
Kaya naman nang matapos ko ang libro, agad ko siyang binigyan ng mensahe. I was over the moon. I enjoyed the book, and I was looking forward to borrowing another one.
Farida:
Hi! I finished the book. It was so good, and I couldn't get over it! I wonder if you have had Carry Me Home. It was one of your recommendations, and I skimmed the reviews of that book. :)
It's Saturday in the afternoon today. Kaya naman laking gulat ko nang mag-reply siya kaagad.
Mayor Escalante:
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Of course, I have it. I'll lend it to you.
Farida:
Really? Thanks!
Mayor Escalante:
Are you free tomorrow? I don't have meetings or visits tomorrow. Puwede kitang imbitahin dito sa opisina. You can choose the books you want.
Namilog ang aking mga mata at tumuwid. Tuwing linggo, madaling araw lagi ang gising ko dahil nagsisimba kami nina Mama at Papa. After that, we will have our breakfast outside.
