Chapter 2 - The slap of pain

The slap of pain

~*~

Cia's POV

Nakatingin lang ako sa white board habang nag didiscuss ang prof. namin. I just can't absorb what she is saying. Puro kwentong buhay niya lang ang dinidiscuss niya, mga tungkol sa karanasan niya bilang isang tao.

Hayy.. imagine, she is a Science teacher but she's discussing Values Education! Ano naman kaya ang maisasagot namin sa periodicals kung puro tungkol sa kanya umiikot ang discussion! Tss.

"Miss Garcia, are you listening?" Deretso niya akong tinitigan habang nanlilisik ang dalawang bilugang mata. She looks like a hungry hippo!

"Yes, Miss Hippopotamus." Biglang umingay ang classroom. Tawanan ang namayani sa buong klase. Lahat sila ay tinawanan ang sinabi ko maliban na lamang sa aming dalawa ni Prof. Martinez 'A.K.A. Miss Hippopotamus'.

"CLASS DISSMISS."

Nagsitayuan na kami ng mga kaklase ko. Buti naman at uwian na, nababagot na ako kanina pa.

"Classmates, please proceed to the gymnasium. May announcement."

Bumaba na ako sa gym after I finished packing my things.

"WeastMead students, as all of you know, we're having our outdoor tour during the month of October but this year, it would be much earlier. We would be having the tour in the end of July."

After the announcement, umuwi na rin ako. Good to know, weekend na bukas.

*ding dong ding dong*

Binuksan ko ang pintuan, only to suprise me..

What is he doing here? Magugunaw na ata ang mundo kaya naisipan niya akong dalawin!

"Mr. Garcia." Mr. Garcia is my father, daddy ang tawag ko sa kanya DATI but after the incident happened, he insisted to call him daddy. Siguro ganoon na lang talaga ang galit niya sa akin. For how many years-isang dekada na ang nakaraan. Fourth year college na ako ngayon but he still hates me like that accident happened yesterday.

"You are now a graduating student, pero ganyan pa din ang asal mo sa professor mo. She tells me every single thing that you do in her class. Kung wala kang hiya na ipakita ang magaspang mong ugali, better not use our family's name. You're such a disgrace! And, did you know? your cousin told me that you made her embarrassed in front of people sa coffee shop kahapon! You. are. such. a. disappointment." Tinitigan ko lang siya gamit ang blankong ekspresyon ng aking mukha.

This is non sense.

"Mr. Garcia, I know that I'm really a shame to you and to your family. It isn't my fault to use your name and about my professor and my KIND cousin.. better ask me the whole story before concluding things. Hindi ko kasalanan kung bakit hindi pinapakinggan ng prof. ko ang side ko. Hindi ko din kasalanan kung bakit napakapapansin ng pamangkin mo. I was just defending myself from people who wants to destroy my day."
