Perfect Imperfection (ON HOLD/REVISING)

Two

Chapter Two || Tour Guide

They said, you have to have the patience to wait for everything, cause you might have regrets when you missed a chance.

Take things slowly, but surely. Mag hintay ng tamang pagkakataon at panahon.

Rember what happened to the famous Romeo and Juliet? Parehas nilang kinuha ang buhay nila dahil sa maling akala. Hindi hinintay magising ni romeo si juliet eh.

Well hindi ko sila masisi, Shakespear was a legend.

Pero kung paghihintay at tamang timing nga lang naman ang paguusapan, hindi na ako lalayo.

I was always the one to take things in the fastest way. Hindi ako nag-aaksaya ng oras. Hindi ngayong i missed half of my teenage life dahil sa mga maling taong pinakisamahan ko.

Pero mukhang iba ang plano ni Mr. Guevarra at ng principal sa akin ngayong araw at pinaghihintay nila ako sa wala.

Tour Guide?

Mukha bang yun ang kukunin kong course sa college? I'm hellishly bad at places! Nawawala pa nga ako sa supermarket!

I never applied for this! And if given the chance, i never will either!

Ngayong stuck ako ngayon sa mismong harap ng gate ng school, wala nang ibang tumatakbo sa isip ko kundi ang pinag-usapan namin ng principal.

Yesterday 4:30 pm || Principal's Office

"Good afternoon ma'am, Alexis De Guzman from 3-A. Pinatawag nyo daw ako." Pagbati ko.

"Oh yes, yes miss De Guzmam. I did call you, for some reason." tapos ngumiti sya. "I really wanted to ask you to see me personally but my schedule was not at my side so, i had to ask Clinton to tell you."

Clinton? As in Mr. Guevarra?

"For what reason sir?" tanong ko with straight face.

"As you can see, it's been a long time since may pumasok na big time sa school natin. I was talking about Mr. Montero, Cyrus. His family basically drawn a lot of income and publicity for our school."

Where is he going with this? Magku-kwento ba sya ng talang buhay ni Cyrus? Yun ba ang ipinunta ko dito? To be a story buddy?

"So, sorry for being blunt but what does this have to do with me sir?"

Mukha ba akong interesado sa buhay ni Cyrus? Well sorry to say i'm not. Ang daming babaeng handang makinig sa kwento ng buhay nya at wala akong balak maki pila.

"Okay. Hindi na ako magpapaligoy-ligoy pa Miss De Guzman." He smile widely. "We have a new top comer in Mavillon High International and i want you to personally welcome him as he enter the  premises as my proxy. I really wanted to be the one doing that but sadly mayroon akong business appointment sa Singapore."

It took me a whole minute to analyze kung ano man yung sinabi nya bago ako napatayo at napasigaw.

"W-what?"

"I know i know. It's a huge pressure for you dear but i know you can handle things really well. You're one of the most outstanding students here in Mavillon but i kept missing the chance to make you feel that the school trust you too. So i'm giving you the opportunity to prove us again that you are one of our most excellent students."

"Teka Mr. principal hindi nyo po naiintindihan! Why do i  have to do this? Hindi ba dapat mga faculty members o di naman kaya, kayo. Kayong mga board members? Sabi nyo nga big time tong taong to so why would you let a junior like me handle a job like this? Is'nt this too much?" Kung saan saan humahampas ang mga kamay ko dahil kulang pa ang mga salita para i-explain sa kanya kung gaano kawalang patutunguhan yung sinasabi nya sakin.
