Ch 10 - A Knight and Shining Armor

Three days almost ended. Wala paring nangyari. Guess destiny has it. I'll be suspended.

But when everything seems to be upsetting and when we're about to give up, someone just came like an angel from heaven.

Sunday na ng hapon. And Ate Mylene received a phone call kay Marlo.

Remember him? Siya yung classmate namin na tumawag sakin sa backstage para tumulong kay Ayexia idirect yung play? It so happened na anak siya ng guidance counselor ng department namin.

"I'll be there in 15 minutes. Sorry Carla, ngayon ko lang kasi nalaman yung tungkol sa nangyari.

I guess it was a secret but my mom spilled it out to me. I'll discuss the details pagdating ko diyan. Bye."

Hindi ko alam kung paano yung tulong na sinasabi niya. Talagang nanlalambot na 'ko nun kasi wala naman talagang pasok pag Sunday.

And yesterday was the last official school day. Bukas na irerelease yung Grade Slips namin.

But hearing Marlo's cheerful voice gave me hope. Ewan ko ba but I could feel magandang balita ang dala niya.

Dumating nga siya sa school in 15minutes. Pumunta kaming lahat sa conference room at ewan ko kung paanong may susi siya nun.

School influence siguro? And there we seated as if we are having a serious meeting.

"Carla, huwag kang mag-alala. Di ka maeexpel. Swear." - Marlo

"So ano na kiddo? Anong good news ang dala mo?" -Ate Mylene

"Last week or the week before final exams ata yun. I hear na nag-install ng CCTV sa lahat ng offices and facilities sa school. Kasama ata yung locker rooms dun.

Kinontact ko na yung operator and pumayag siya na tingnan natin yung videos taken from the weeks before, during and after exams. It might take us time para iview lahat ng yun so maghati-hati tayo. Para mas mabilis i-fast forward lang natin yung videos.

Are you ready?"

At yun nga yung ginawa namin. Kanya kanya kami ng videos na pinanood. An our or so...

After almost two hours...

"Eto na! Nakita ko na!" - Daniel

Lumapit naman kaming lahat sa kanya at nireplay niya yung video. It was a shock to see what really happened.

The video was dated last Wednesday, nung wala kaming pasok. Eto rin yung time na nililinis yung mga locker rooms.

Video:

"Kuya, may naiwan po kasi ako sa locker. Kukunin ko po muna ha?" - Girl

"Sige lang iha." - Janitor

(habang nag-aayos ng locker)

Teka, yun yung locker ko!

"Magkano po ba sinasahod niyo dito kuya?"

"P8000.00 po a month ma'am."

"Gusto mo ba ng mas malaking sahod? Taga san ka ba kuya?"

"Nakikitira lang po ako ngayon sa tita ko ma'am di kalayuan dito. Taga Nueva Ecija po ako."

"That's great! May branch yung company ng lolo ko sa Nueva Ecija.

Ipapalipat kita dun. Magresign ka na agad at sasabihin ko sayo yung address ng branch dun.

You'll earn P10,000 a month there I swear."
