her wheel of life
───────────────Henlien
As the clouds began to gather in the sky, I quickened my pace. The sky had been picture-perfect up until now, but that was changing. The lovely cocktail-blue shade was darkening into gravel-grey. Large cloud pillows were forming, obscuring the sun's old-gold hue. When I was halfway across the field, I got my first splatter of rain. I took cover under an old Narra, hoping to see out the shower. Droplets of moisture started dripping from the leaves. They were sprinkling in the grass like a garden hose. I unconsciously nibbled my lips. It taste and smelled like a smithy, like raw iron and earth.
"Come on Henlien. Hindi ka naman dadami kung mabasa ka ng ulan diba? Just run stupid. We badly need that for the clearance dumb bitch" they screamed as if there still no students taking their exams. I took a quick glance kung gaano sila kalayo sa akin and how many people are in this area which my position is visible.
Childish, immature, spoiled brats. Iyan ang masasabi ko sa kanila. I've been contemplating when and how will I payback. Hindi naman masama maging isip bata kahit pa minsan-minsan. I'm just paying back.
"Henlien bilisan mo. Just get wet okay. I have extra shirt sa locker kaya wag ka matakot na mabasa. I can lend you my shirt."
I can see kung paano na sila mag panic. "Bitch just run".
Yun naman pala. If they were desperate and afraid bakit ibang tao pa pinapagawa ng reports nila? Complacent. Am I their dog? Hindi ba nila alam na some dogs bite back to their owner who feed and sheltered them? Crazy.
Straightened my back and removing my hair tie. "Papunta na" sigaw ko pabalik. I prepared myself before running.
In the midst of it. I can see how they roll their eyes. See ungrateful. I close my eyes and took the great fall. Bago ako kumilos sinigurado ko na yung report files nila yung naitukod ko sa putik. I don't mind being dirty. Sanay na ako madumihan sa skwelahan na ito.
"What the fuck Henlien!"
"Wala ka talagang kwenta" rinig kong sigaw nila. Tumagilid ako ng kaunti para makasilip ng konti kung anong ginagawa nila. Papunta sila dito.
I started to move at pinahiran ko ng putak ang mukha ko ng patago. "Kunin niyo yung files bilis" utos na naman niya. Marahas nilang hinila yung mga files sabay tulak sa akin.
"Wala ka talagang silbi. Utak na nga lang gumagana sayo pero mukhang hindi na rin magagamit. Wag ka na pumasok kung ayaw mong mapahiya ka-"
"Anong nangyayari diyan? Sumilong kayo." agad nag sitakbuhan sila Reyana nung may sumigaw na faculty staff. Mabilis akong tumayo. Hindi na ako nag abala na ayusin sarili ko. Ito naman ang gusto kong makuha na resulta.
Napatingin ako sa taong umabot nung towel sa akin. "Meet me at the office. Your mom needs to know this".
Kailangan niya malaman? Tapos ano? Wala rin naman mapapala. Asslickers.
