Chapter 8: Not So Proud
"REALLY?" halos pasigaw na sabi namin ni Jewel. We grinned at each other.
WE MADE IT! WE DID IT! Cum laude kami!
"Yes, children," biro sa amin ni Dean Aguas. Natatawa pa siya habang kinakausap kami.
"This is definitely a good news," Jewel said. Tumango naman ako bilang pagsang-ayon sa sinabi niya. Until now, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na natupad namin ang gusto namin. We achieved our goal!
"Ma'am, bakit po kami lang ang pinatawag? Nasaan po 'yong iba pa?" nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanya.
"Oh. Well, I'm calling the students with honors by their section. Ayoko nang sabay-sabay dahil minsan ay nagkakagulo. Now, let's begin discussing your requirements," tumingin siya sa amin. "This week, kailangan ay matapos at maipasa niyo na ang requirements na hinihingi ng professors niyo. With honors kayo, meaning kailangang maagang maayos ang papers niyo for graduation."
Tumango kami at nagpatuloy siya. "Now, once you are done with your requirements, ibibigay na kaagad namin sa inyo ang toga niyo. Mauuna na kayo sa lahat ng kailangan for graduation, including the photoshoot. I know maybe you're thinking that we're unfair because it feels like we're giving you special treatments, but no. Gusto ko lang na mauna na kayong matapos dahil alam niyo namang maraming dapat asikasuhin para sa graduation niyo."
Hindi pa rin kami nagsasalita ni Jewel. Tanging puro tango lang ang ginagawa namin. Kasi naman, sa lahat ng sinasabi ni Dean Aguas, ang tanging tumatak lang sa isip namin ay ang pagsasabi niya na cum laude kaming dalawa.
"Are we all clear now?"
"Yes, Dean." Finally, I found my voice. Mukhang hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nagsi-sink in kay Jewel ang sinasabi ni Dean.
"Okay. You may go back to your rooms. You really look overwhelmed, guys. Congratulations again," natatawa pa siya habang sinasabi iyon.
