Chapter 5 

N A M E

Mimi is absent today. Umuwi ito ng probinsya para sa lamay ng abuela nito. Namatay kasi abuela ni Mimi from her father's side.

With Mimi absent, ngayon ko nafeel kung gaano ko naenjoy company ni Mimi. It is as if nasanay na ako sa kaingayan nito at naninibago ako ngayon sa katahimikan. It also means I have to do everything alone today. What a lonely life I have.

Feeling down, I went to the cafeteria alone. Ang haba ulit ng pila. I guess I have no choice pero ang makipila. Kapag kasi andito si Mimi, magaling yun sa pagsingit kaya di na ako nahirapan pang makipila ng mahaba. Kekeke!

After I got my food, pagscanned ko ng cafeteria ay wala ng bakanteng upuan.

Saan ako kakain?

Dumako tingin ko sa area na nakareserved for the jjang.

Dun kaya?

Natetempt akong dun kumain pero biglang nagplay sa utak ko yung bilin ni Mimi.

Okay...wag na nga.

In the end, umalis ako ng cafeteria dala ang mga pagkaing binili. I searched for a place kung saan maayos akong makakakain.

Naglakad ako sa mga hallways. Lakad lang ng lakad. Until I reached the end of the top floor. Nagulat ako ng makitang sa dulo nun ay may hagdan paakyat and there is a door. I opened the door. Pag-open ko, the wind immediately blew my hair. Nalaman ko na kaagad kung nasaan ako.

Whoa! I'm on the rooftop!

May rooftop pala ang school nila? Mimi toured me around the school. But she didn't mention about this place. Siguro she thought this rooftop insignificant kaya hindi nito nabanggit.

Pinag-aralan ko ang kabuuan ng rooftop. It's only a wide open space surrounded with chain link fence. Ayaw siguro ng school na may estudyanteng magsuicide roon.

I went near the edge of the rooftop, holding the fence in my hands, while looking down. From the top, you can see everything from below. There are students walking and playing around.

When I looked straight, I gasped at the view. I can also see the vicinity of the town. From the mountains on the side, the blue sea on the west, the structures on the main area, and the sky above.

"It's nice here," komento ko habang umuupo sa nakitang bench. May bench pa dito. Ang galing naman!

Huh! Maybe I am bound to find this place. Yeah, may puwede na rin akong tambayan habang wala pa si Mimi. Pagbalik din ni Mimi ay sasabihin ko sa kanya ang rooftop na ito.

I started eating the snacks I bought. I was busy eating when suddenly somebody spoke in a loud authoritative voice. Nagulat ako dahil hindi ko iyon inaasahan.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" asked by the owner of the voice. He sounds mad and angry. I detected a little bit of surprised and curiosity.

I turned around. I was blinded with sunlight and didn't see the face of the intruder. What I'm certain of is that he is a male student from his built and uniform.

"Uhm...eating?" I replied and went back to eating. I can't continue looking at his direction because the sunlight hurts my eyes. I might go blind if I persist looking. Might as well eat than go blind.

I heard footsteps coming near me. It stopped in front of me. My eyes gazed down and saw a pair of nice shoes.

"Don't you know that this is my territory?"
