Secret Feelings / KathNiel

Chapter 5

DJ's POV

Kasama niya si Quen. Great. Just great. So wala si Quen bukas sa school.

Hay, eto nanaman tayo DJ eh. Wag ka ngang malungkot. No negative thoughts.

Bakit pa kasi si Quen? Bakit hindi nalang ako? De loko lang. That will never happen. Well wala akong magagawa.

Hindi nga ata ako abot sa Top 50 eh.

Hindi ko nalang inisip yun. Iniisip ko nalang si Kath at ang yung good news na yun na sinasabi ni mama.

Enjoy na enjoy ako nagda-daydream sa dining table. Bigla bigla lang may tumalbog na kamay sa harapan ko.

"ANO BA? Maaaa!!!" I shouted.

She laughed. "Enjoy na enjoy ka diyan ah. Tapos mo na ba ang homeworks mo?" She asked.

"Opo ma'am."

"Weh? Kakauwi mo lang kaya." She told me.

"Eh madali lang ang homework eh at maikli lang." I answered.

"Sige. Mabuti naman. Oo nga pala, susunduin mo ang kapatid mo sa airport ah kasama ang kaibigan niya." She added.

"Ha? Bakit ako? Saka hindi pa ako nagdri-drive ma!" I told her.

"May meeting kasi ako! Mag taxi nalang kayo."

"Ano ba ang meeting mo na yan?" I eagerly asked her on what the meeting is. I'm so curious!

"Bukas nga diba?" She answered.

"Oo na. Oo na."

"Wag mong kalimutan ah! Hatid mo ang kapatid mo. Ikaw pag nakalimutan mo!" She tried to scare me so that I won't forget.

"Hindi ko yan makakalimutan!" I promised.

"Siya na bahala mag text sayo kung saan at kailan mo sila ihahatid." She explained.

// The next day //

Kakagising ko lang at pagkatingin ko ng cellphone ko 6:37 am palang. Ano? Too early!!!

Tapos napansin ko din ang pangngalan ni Kath. She texted me.

From: Kath

DJ! Ngayon na daw ang competition namin. Buti na nga lang na nagreview kami ni Quen. Ang bilis nga eh. Anyways, goodluck sa mga tests mo. Sorry pag hindi ko na ikaw na tu-tutor. :(

No need to reply. :)

Ha? Bukas na agad? Ang bilis! Kakarating lang ata nila the other day tapos may competition na? Hindi ko yan kaya! Kaya mo yun, Kath? Wow.

At dahil doon naalala ko na may test kami ngayon. Good thing na tinuruan ako ni mama. Pero masmagaling magturo si Kath. Pati na din ang sister ko buti nga uuwi na siya mamaya.

When I arrived school, grabe ang aga ko nakarating na ang konti palang na nasa school. And here comes Julia.

"Daniel!" Julia shouted my name. "Ginawa mo ang project?" She asked me.

"Ah oo." I answered. "Bakit?" I asked.

"Wala baka nakalimutan mo." She answered while looking at the floor.

"Ah sige sige."

Uhm, thank you for the kindness in reminding me? Iba talaga si Julia. I don't get her.

[phone rings]

"Sino nanaman ito?!" I shouted.

I checked my phone.

"Sino yan?" Julia asked.

"Si mama."

I was expecting it to be Kath, but no.

"Hello?"

"Bad mood ka nak?" She asked. I didn't even notice that my tone was in a mad way.

"Hindi. Bakit ma?"

"Naalala mo yung super good news na sinasabi ko?" She asked.

"Oo naman!"

"Sabihin ko na sayo?" She asked.

"NGAYON NA?! AS IN NGAYON NA?!" I exclaimed.

"Uy Daniel!" Julia shouted signaling me that I was too loud.

"Sorry sorry." Well that was embarrassing. "As in ngayon na?!" I went back to that topic.

"Oo nga! Ano gusto mo?"

"Grabe sure ka?" I asked her to be sure.

"Oo nga! Ayaw mo?"

"HINDI HINDI! Gusto koo!!" I shouted. This time more softer than before.

"O ready ka na?" She asked me.

"Super solid ready! Bilis sabihin mo naaaaa!!" I was so excited that I just blurted this words out!

Hala ano kaya to?!

"Magiging.." She stoped for awhile then continued. "Artista kaaaaa!!!! Diba gusto mo yun?! Since bata ka pa!" Finally she said it!

There was an incredible number of things and words inside my head!

"Uy DJ! Hello? Nak hello?"

"MA SERYSO KA?! NILOLOKO MO ATA AKO EH!" I can't take it so I just blurted everything out.

"Oo seryoso ako anak!! Ang pangarap mo anak, matutupad na!!"

"Ma!! Seryoso ka ngaaaa!!" I just can't believe it it!

"Satingin mo naman maloloko kita? Tapos pangarap mo yun anak! Hindi ko magsinungalin no."

"Sheeeee-may naman ma! A-ano naman ang g-gagawin ko?"

"I'll tell you everything later! Don't worry! Sige bye na anak may meeting pa kami doon."

"Sige, ma! Byeeee!"

I ended the call.

"O Daniel? Anyare?"

"Magiging artista ako!!"

"Talaga? Paano?"

"Hindi ko din alam. Hindi ko alam sa mama ko."

"Grabe SWERTEEE MOOOO!!" She faked cry.

Kath's POV

So today's the next competition. I'm so scared but I know I can do this.

If people believes in me then I believe in myself too. You have to. At kasama na si DJ sa mga isang naniniwala saakin.

At super saya ako doon.

I had my last hour to review. Nung biglang nag vibrate ang phone ko.

"DJ? Anong kailangan niya ngayon?"

From: DJ

KATH MAY SUPER ULTRA MEGA AS IN GRABE GOOD NEWS AKO!!

P.S.

I'll tell you soon! :))

P.S.S.

Don't even try to kulit kulit me. (Ang conyo!)

Anong kalokohan to DJ? Sinasabi niyaba ang totoo? Kung oo, eh ano naman yun?

"I'll tell you soon." Why soon, and not now?

"Super ultra mega as in grabe good news." Whaaaaat?! Ano to? I'm sooo curious.

I have no idea on what this is.
