To Get Justice And You || Mikhaiah

Prologue

AIAH

I am late! I cursed under my breath, while making my way to our barracks. Papunta pa nga lang, pero late agad!

Alright, calm down, Aiah! It's first day so it's understandable. Besides, the reason why I'm late was worth it! Nag enjoy naman ako, but still, of course this is what I got the next day.

I'm breathing heavily when I reached our barracks, the barracks was really for the military. But since specialized course ang sniper training, at dahil marksman ako. Two barracks were made. And it will take a while to get to the barracks.

Doon ko lang na-realized kung gaano ako ka late. I reported duty for an hour late! May isang battalion na na naka assemble roon at chine-check ng mga trainers na nasa likod.

An official examined me as I swallowed hard, pero sa dulong row ako pina pila para mas lalong ma check.

After making my way to the last row, a senior approached me. Immediately.

Tangina.

"You're late"

Based on the senior's tone, he wants me punished. Obviously.

If we're not in an official ground, I would've asked to be punished. Kasi 'yon naman talaga dapat. But still, I have to listen to what they would ask me to do. Mga mas nakakataas sa akin ang hinihintay ko.

He scoffed. "Ang kakapal naman pala nitong mga taga ibang bansa, first day pa lang? Ganito agad?" Kumunot ang noo ko, may kausap siya, pero hindi ako.

Kausap niya 'yong senior na nasa parehong row lang.

For sure this senior infront of me is talking about me, akala niya ba ay may lahi ako? Alam kong maganda ako, pero...

Hindi na ako nag abala na tingnan kung sino ang kausap niyang senior, one thing for sure, it's a girl.

And I can tell that she was nearing me. May chine-check siya pero mukhang patapos naman na.

"Not you though" He told the girl "Itong mga 'to lang, kung may mas mayabang at makapal ang mukha, dapat nga 'yong mga kagaya niyo dahil walang magagalit"

Hindi siya pinansin nito. She was just focused and very serious on her job. She didn't even throw a look on him. Not even once.

"Itong mga 'to, first day pa lang, ganito agad. Mas maayos pa ang credentials niyo rito. Basta talaga mga taga ibang bansa eh 'no?"

"Careful, she can understand you" The girl said, napa ayos ako ng tayo roon.

The other senior looked at me. Alam ko sa sarili ko na maganda ako, truely...lagi akong napagkakamalang may lahi, madaling mapansin 'yon. But how could she know na nakaka-intindi ako ng tagalog?

Is it because of my data? Did she checked my data? Even if she did, there's no way that she will remember each one of us here.

Nasa gilid ko siya, though, I didn't see her face that much, she's checking the other soldier beside me. I glanced at her and checked the insignia and the name tape. My breathing hitched after reading it.

Lim?

Lim.

Maraming Lim sa mundo, pero sinong Lim lang ba ang kakilala ko? Si Mikha lang!

Teka...

I let out a long and heavy breathe, trying to calm myself. Maraming Lim sa mundo, this could be another person, right?
