NAKAUPO, habang nakasalungbaba na nakikinig ako sa discussion. It's all about Rizal's life.
Minsan naiisip ko, natutuwa kaya si Rizal na pinag uusapan siya? Na lahat ng nobela at mga naging kasintahan niya ay hahalungkatin pa?
Tamad na tamad ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit nitong nagdaang araw ay pagod na pagod ako kahit wala namang masyadong ginagawa.
"I'm tired"
Naibulong ko na lang.
Nagulat na lang ako ng biglang may isang dutch mill with bread ang inilapag ng kung sino sa desk ko.
Napataas tuloy ako ng tingin. It was Vael, nakatalikod na siya saakin habang pabalik sa unahan kung nasaahan ang upuan niya.
Our blockmates kept glancing at us, looking confused and whispering to each other. It was clear something had caught their attention, but nobody dared to say anything out loud.
Professor Ramirez raised an eyebrow, clearly not happy with what had just happened. He turned to Vael, ready to lecture.
"Mr. Alcaraz, I don’t appreciate that kind of behavior—interrupting class like that—"
"Teach."
Vael’s calm interruption was almost like a command, and just like that, everything changed. Professor Ramirez, who was about to go off, immediately stopped mid-sentence, his frustration melting away. He just blinked, straightened up, and carried on with the lesson like nothing had happened. It was as if the whole scene had been erased from everyone's memory—except mine.
The class continued without a hitch, and our blockmates went back to taking notes, none the wiser. I sat there, my mind racing. Did anyone else notice that? Of course they don't.
But when I looked at Vael, he was just staring ahead, like he hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary.
Napalunok ako ako at tiningnan ang pagkain na nasa harp ko.
My phone beep.
"Eat up, you didn't eat your breakfast right?"
Vael texted.
Hindi ko alam ngunit may kung anong nagdiriwang sa tyan ko.
Inabot ko ang drink. Maingat at dahan dahan ko yung ininom kasabay ng pagkain ko sa sandwich.
Napangiti ako ng malasahan ko ang ham and cheese sa sandwich. Saan niya kaya to nabili? It's tasty!
My phone beep again.
Kinuha at tiningnan ko ang message.
"I made the sandwich, of course its tasty "
Basa ko sa text niya. Napatingin tuloy ako sa direksyon niya. And an unexpected warm smile plastered in his face.
Napanganga ako at napahawak sa aking dibdib kung nasaan ang puso ko. Damn his smile was heart melting!
Tumikhim ako at iniiwas ang aking tingin at ibinaling na lang sa may bintana.
CLASSES WERE OVER. I was already outside the university gate when a guy called my name. I turned around to see who it was.
It was Yon, my childhood friend.
