"Your daughter is colorblind, Mr. Alcanatara."
Silence filled the clinic. Mrs. Alcanatara started sobbing while her husband was comforting her.
"H-how is that possible?! Sabi mo sa amin healthy ang anak namin! What is this, a medical scam?!"
"Your child is healthy, Mr. Alcantara. The eyesight of the infant in a woman's womb isn't observed that much. My deepest apologies."
Mr. Alcantara was still comforting his wife when the doctor spoke again.
"Well, on the bright side, Mr. Alcantara, at least your daughter isn't blind. A colorblind person can be healed too, but it takes a long time."
"We hope for that healing to come soon. We want our daughter to appreciate the colours around her."
The couple left the clinic. And was picked up by their driver immediately at the hospital entrance.
"Javier natatakot ako. Paano kung hindi na talaga makakita ng kulay ang anak natin? Anong iisipin ng tao sa atin?"
Mr. Alcanatara was speechless. His world was suddenly depressed.
"Y/N, just answer the damn question. What colour is this apple?! Wala ka bang natutunan sa mga inaral natin?!" The teacher yelled at Y/N.
"I-I don't know po.."
"Dang it! Ang bobo talaga ng kabataan ngayon! Lalo ka na, Y/N!"
Everyone started laughing while Y/N was there standing. Her eyes were about to release its tears.
"A-ano?" Mrs. Alcantara was stunned to speak.
"T-tinawag po akong bobo ni Ms. Ramirez, Mommy."
"How dare her! Bukas na bukas ay ipapatawag ko siya sa Principal!" Yelled Mr. Alcantara.
"Eh kasi naman po Sir, tinatanong ko lang naman po kay Y/N kung ano ang kulay ng apple. Sir ang simple lang po ng tanong ko."
"Well, inalam mo ba kung bakit hindi siya makasagot?"
"Sir di ba siya tinuturuan ng magulang niya? Aba'y napaka pabaya naman ng magulang ni Y/N kung ganun."
"Paano kung sabihin kong walang nakikitang kulay si Y/N?!" Mrs. Alcanatara spoke. She had enough of Ms. Ramirez's insults.
"Nako! Dahilan dito, dahilan doon. There's no more colorblind people here sa mundo!"
"Eh kung ipapatay kita ngayon? Sumosobra ka na sa pang-lalait sa pamilya ko, Ms. Ramirez. If you were my daughter's biological mother, maiintindihan mo ang sitwasyon."
"Now, now, Mr. Alcantara. Huwag naman po pabigatan ng mga salita. Ano po ba ang nais niyo na gawin ko para matapos na ang kaguluhang ito?"
"I want you to fire that teacher, Mr. Principal. Bukod sa inuunderestimate niya ang pag-aalaga namin sa anak namin, tinawag niya pang bobo ang anak namin. Isn't that considered VAWC, too?"
Ms. Ramirez's eyes were suddenly filled with fear. "M-Mr. Alcantara, huwag naman po ako matanggalan ng trabaho. Dito nalang po ako kumikita ng pangkain sa pamilya ko!"
"Sorry, but you should've thought about that before saying those words to the poor child. Ms. Chloe G. Ramirez, you are fired."
Ms. Ramirez sobbed as she left the office. "Thank you so much for the immediate action, Mr. Principal. As a reward, here's P50,000. Enjoy the money."
"Mr. Alcantara, please, I only did my job to serve and make this school a better place for children like Y/N. I can't accept that big amount of money."
"Me and my wife insist. Sadyang inihanda namin ito kagabi para sa inyo. You deserve it for your honest service."
The principal nodded with tears of joy. He happily accepted the money and escorted the family out of the school.
"So yeah, ganun talaga ka-hirap ang buhay ko."
"Pero wala pa ding karapatan na tawagin kang bobo nung teacher na yun! Did she go to jail after getting fired??"
"Wala na kaming nabalitaan about her. Ang alam ko lang, sa public elementary schools na siya nagtuturo."
"Ahh, well deserve! You know what? How about mag ice cream tayo?"
"Sure! Pero ikaw na bahala pumili ng flavour a, alam mo na kung bakit."
Felicia nodded. And they went and got ice cream for themselves
