Chapter 16 – Masakit Sa Ulo

Anne’s POV

“Class, we need to make some changes with the actors. Mr. Mirafuente is not going to be the leading man anymore. There is a conflict with his schedule on his varsity practices so I will be assigning Mr. Zaragosa to be his replacement instead...” Mr. Agnote announced.

Arvin – nanlaki ang mata. Nagulat at napanganga

Martin – nagumpisa na magtanggal ng kung anu-anong tela sa paper bags pero biglang napatingin kay Sir na parang gusto ipaulit yung sinabi

Macey – bumuka yung bibig at parang gustong sumigaw

Ina – napakunot ang mukha dahil marami siyang babaguhin sa script. Actually silang apat.

Ako – parang kinutusan ng maso dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong maging reaksyon

“..And then again that is final. Mr. Mirafuente will be helping Ms. Vergara with the costumes. I have coordinated with your coach Mr. Mirafuente and everything is set. So Basically you and Mr. Zaragosa will only be exchanging tasks.” Sir Agnote finished

This time…

Arvin – nakahawak sa ulo at napapikit at mukhang nagmumura na internally

Martin – nakangiti

Macey – nakasimangot at nagbuntong-hininga

Ina – sign of relief ang bumungad sa mukha since pangalan lang ang papalitan. Ngumiti ng parang loka loka

Ako- parang kinutusan parin ng maso dahil sa parehong dahilan. Hindi ko alam ang magiging reaksyon ko.

“Oy parekoy! Tara na dito practice na tayo!” Nabalik ako sa ulirat nung inakbayan ako bigla ni Martin. Mukhang excited siya at anlaki ng ngiti nya ngayon ah! Iniwan na niya yung mga paper bags ng ganun ganun lang.

Tumingala si Arvin at tinignan kame. Parang magsasapakan nanaman yung dalawa.

Bakit ba galit na galit sila sa isa’t isa? Parang mag jowa ‘tong dalawa na may LQ eh!

“Uh..Oy pare tara puntahan naten si Ina nasa kanya na yung script” nilayo ko nalang si Martin.

“And besides I think you are going to be a good pair on stage.”  Sir Agnote whispered to me as he passed by with that teasing smile on his face. Si Martin buti hindi narinig kasi inagaw lang naman bigla yung script kay Ina.

Ina looked at me with that teasing smile on her face. I know what she is thinking. Hindi ako kinikilig. Hindi ako defensive. Mga cells sa utak ko, please manahimik kayo. Happy hormones huminahon kayo. Panira kayo ng moment.

I stole a glance at Arvin and I can tell he is pissed. Ni hindi siya tumayo sa kinauupuan niya para makapagusap sila ni Macey about what they have to do.

Hindi ko pinansin at tumabi nalang ako kay Ina and she handed me a copy of the scripts. It looked nice. Binasa ko siya ng binasa ng binasa. Parang inantok ako bigla. Ang haba niya grabe.

“Hey Martin, I will be giving you guys the new copy of the script tomorrow. Since kayo na ang bagong PARTNERS..” kailangang i-emphasize yung word na partners?

“…I need to change Arvin’s name to yours. And you Martin, you better be good at memorizing. Three weeks left before the play okay?” Ina finished.

“Yes ma’am! Wala kang tiwala saken eh!” Martin answered while still holding and reading the script

“Uy pare, pa-twitams ka pala dito ah, kaya mo ba ‘to?” Martin is teasing me while laughing. I liked it. I missed this.
