Isang buwan na rin ang nakalipas matapos ang announcement na ipapademolish na ang Wall of Expression. Matatapos na ang school year, at eto na ang huling araw na makaksulat ang buong High-School department ng mga problema, kalungkutan, drama at confessions nila sa Exp Wall.
Mahigit 20 years narin 'tong wall na 'toh. Punong-puno na siya ng mga lumang papel at mabahong tinta. They usually throw out the papers hammered into the wall every four years, pero ngayon ang mismong pader na ang mawawala.
I decided to stay. Nag dismissal na rin naman at nagsiuwian na halos lahat ng estudyante at guro. But not me. I touched the paper hanging onto the wall and remembered all the times that I posted a problem that bothered me.
Maraming buhay narin siguro ang natulungan dahil sa pader na 'toh. At masakit isipin na sa isang iglap mawawala na 'tong lahat.
Binasa ko ang ibang mga papel na nakadikit sa mahiwagang pader. Some problems were really sad and depressing, yung iba naman napakababaw tulad ng pamumublema kung anong dress susoutin para sa prom.
As I read through dozens of problems, a certain sparkly paper caught my eye. Isang malaking sticky note na natakpan ng glitters. Pinitas ko yung papel at binasa.
"Ang sabi nila, love is the most beautiful thing you'll ever feel. Hmmm, parang di naman ata... WALA KASING FOREVER!
Pero, bakit ganun? Now that my parents got back together, yung mga katropa ko may mga crushes na at yung isa taken pa, yung mga classmates ko, schoolamtes, teacher, kapitbahay, pen-pal, pati alaga kong aso MAY LOVE LIFE NA! It makes me wonder tuloy if I'll ever love someone like that.
Wall of Pain, is it wrong to ask for love? :("
My mind was filled with endless names. But only one girl from Grade 9 remained in my head.
The girl who has NEVER had a crush her entire life, yung babaeng kilala sa Carson High bilang isang artistic rebel, the same girl who makes her capital 'A' look like a star, the only person I knew who had hand writing this neat, the girl who never would've wished for love...
