Hidden Desire

Bulletin Board

It has been a few weeks of Juggling my duties at Central and the Psychology Department, it was surprisingly easy. NOT! There are times na gusto ko na lang umiyak at mag-walling. But, I can't dahil sa ginusto ko to. I was raised to be a resilient and self-reliant woman by my parents. In fact, I learned how to cook for myself at the age of 9, I also know how to do every chore because my Yaya Juliana said na I needed to learn these things in case maka-pangasawa daw ako ng mayaman at hindi ko na kailangang magtrabaho. Yaya said that every girl must know each chore. So, I learned every chore.

It was Friday at wala pa ding nagvovolunteer na gawin ang Bulletin Board ng Department namin. Bianca and I decided to do the Bulletin Board ourselves. We were at the Dean's office tinitignan namin kung anong supplies pa ang kailangan para sa bulletin board. Biglang pumasok naman si Glai sa office.

"Ako po magvovolunteer sa bulletin board." She said smiling.

"Sakto. Ikaw talaga hinihintay namin na magvolunteer eh." Bianca said laughing.

"Ganun ba? Hahahaha! Well, eto na magvovolunteer na ako." Glaiza said laughing.

"Bianca, paki discuss kay Glai yung vision para sa bulletin, ako na bibili ng materials."

"Oh and Glai, please have the other officers help you. Kahit mag gupit-gupit lang." I said as I prepared to leave the office.

"Babe, sabay ba tayo maglalunch?" Bianca said.

"We might. I don't know. Dad asked me to have lunch with him, hindi pa naman nya ako kinocontact. But, you can get lunch if I'm not back by 12." I said to Bianca.

"Okay, ingat ka babe." Bianca smiled.

"Ingat Rhian." Glai said.

"Thanks." I replied.

I drove to Robinson's Manila and parked at the Mall's Basement Parking. Konti na lang naman ang kailangan namin na supplies, Dad said he wanted to meet me for lunch, this was because I haven't gone home to Q.C. in a week because of the amount of school work I had, mostly from Central.

Dumaan na muna ako sa National Bookstore as well as sa
Craft Central to buy some craft materials we needed for our bulletin board. Once done, bumalik ako sa parking area to load my purchases in the car. Sakto namang tumawag na si Daddy sa akin.

"Hey Dad, where are we meeting?"

"Hey Princess, your mom and I are on our way to Robinson's Manila. We're right around the corner." Dad said.

"Cool, I'm here at Robinson's. See you guys in a bit."

"Yeah see you, princess." Dad said.

We hanged up and I proceeded to go back into the mall, I advised Bianca that I won't be able to make it back at 12 and she should go ahead and have lunch.

I waited for them at a Japanese Ramen House called Rai-Rai Ken. I sat and had cold water as I took a look at their menu, maya-maya lamang Mom and Dad arrived at the restaurant. We hugged each other and sat.

"Oh we miss you, Darling." Said Mom.

"I miss you guys too, Sorry Mom. I couldn't go home." I said.

"You are Far Eastern University's Central Student Organization President as well as Psychology Department's President. So, we understand the work load, princess." Dad smiled.

"Dad, you make it sound like it's a big deal." I said laughing.

"Your mom was department president during her time in FEU, I was Central President back in my time. So, you're doing twice more than we have done." Dad smiled.
