Perseverance

Inihatid ako ni  William sa amin.Dumiretso agad ako sa kwarto ko at naligo.Pagkatapos ay nagdesisyong bumaba muna para silipin kung nanduon na ang mga magulang.

"Manang andyan na po ba si Mommy at Daddy?"

"Naku Ma'am nakalimutan ko palang sabihin sa inyo na nasa Cebu ngayon sina Mr. and Mrs.Alvarez para sa bisitahin yung isang planta niyo sa probinsiya."

"Ganun po ba.Kelan po daw ang balik?"

"Bukas daw po ng madaling araw."

"Thank you po." at agad na tinalikuran ang aming katulong.

Magmula ng dumating ako sa bahay na ito parang laging may kulang sa bawat araw ko.Ipinagbuntong hininga ko nalang ito at dumiretso sa kwarto ni Cassey kung nandoon na ba.

Mahimbing na itong natutulog pagkabukas ko kaya isinara ko na ang pinto.

Nagvibrate ang cellphone ko sa bulsa.May message galing sa Unknown number.

Unknown:

Its me William.Save my number.

I just click the number and save it to My Contacts.I should be the one to tell him My number but he was the one who give it first.

Me:

Okay.

He replied quickly after I send him My assurance.

William:

What are you doing now?

Me:

Preparing to sleep.How about you?

William:

Same.

William:

Sleep tight.Good night.

Me:

Goodnight.

Matapos ang klase ko ngayong maghapon nakatanggap ako ng tawag mula sa aking professor.

"Mr.Suarez.Goodmorning po.Ano pong kailangan?" I said in attentive formal voice.

"Be with your parents tomorrow.Me and Mrs.Ruisi have something to discuss to them."

"Sige po.Ah.Sir bakit po pala?" kinabahan ako dahil ngayon lang ako nakatanggap ng tawag sa aking professor.Hindi naman ako bulakbol.My grades are also good.But why did Mr.Suarez wants to talk to my parents.

"You will know it tomorrow Miss Alvarez"
then he hang-up the call.

"Booo!" napatalon ako sa gulat ng biglang sumulpot sa likodan ko si Jovelyn.

"There you are.I have been catching you this day to hangout with me.But I cant see you around.Nalaman ko andito kalang pala sa bench."anito sabay ibinaba ang dalang libro sa lamesa.

"Sorry jovelyn.I didnt mean to see you because I am curious with Mr.Suarez."

"What is it?You tell me."

I tell her what Mr.Suarez told me.She was shocked and being curious also.

"Baka may ginawa ka?"

"Ginawa ako?Ano ka ba e.I remember this past few days I didn't miss any requirements he asked for his class.I actively joining also the P.E activities.And actually I never been involved to struggles."

Nagkibit balikat ito at napatango.

"Naku huwag ka ng magisip ng kung ano ano!Think Positive kamo!"

Naghahain na si Manang ng pagkain.Naisip ko kasi kung papaano sasabihin sa mga magulang.Baka magalit sila sa akin pagkatapos nito.

Their are my great parents known as the best business tycon and I don't like them to be disappointed to me.

I don't like to make a lie.I need to inform them.

"Mommy...Daddy.." Napatigil sila sa pagkain at tumingin sa akin.

Breath properly Elise!Tell them!

"Mmhhh.."

"I-I got a called from Mr.Suarez my professor this afternoon. A-and he said h-he wants to talks both of you tomorrow in school with Mrs.Ruisi also."

I feel uncomfortable as their gaze to me was serious and confused.

"Have Mr.Suarez told you why?" si mommy.

"He didn't."

"Okay.We will assure to come before we go to your Dad company."

Kinakabahan ako ng magumaga na.Pagkababa ko sa aming sasakyan ay dumiretso agad ako sa Principals office.

I waited outside when I saw my parents wearing their corporate attire.

I come near to them and kiss both mom and dad cheeks.

"Dito ba hija?" mom in her lovely voice.She must be mad at me but why is her voice was like that.

Dad nodded to me and we both enter the school office.

"Good morning Mr.andMrs Alvarez and also to you Miss Alvarez.Sorry to interrupt both of you.We know a business tycon like you was so busy." ani ni Mrs.Ruisi na makipagktamay sa aking magulang.

"No.Its okay." si dad

"Have a sit."

Umupo kami sa sofa na talagang nakaokupa para sa mga bisita.I feel nervous.

"So what's the meeting for?"si mommy na kanina pa gustong magsimula.

"Pinatawag po namin kayo dahil we would like to personally inform both of you Mr. and Mrs.Alvarez.We would like to congratulate your daughter."Mrs.Ruisi plastered a smile on her simple looks.

"Your daughter was our Magna Cum Laude in this coming Graduation."Mrs.Ruisi added.

Napaangat ako ng ulo at hindi naiwasang maging masaya sa narinig na balita.

Mom smile ear to ear and look at me with proud look.

"Talaga po?"

"Yes Miss Alvarez you are." Mr.Suarez assured to me.

"Ohhh...I am so proud of you Elise." mom hugged me and kiss my cheeks.

"You deserve to have the honor my daughter.I am proud of you." si daddy at niyakap din ako.

I was so happy.I cant explain what must be my feeling now.Happy?Excited?Confused?Ohh...

My perseverance and hardwork works!
