One week more and we're done with our practices and rehearsals. Everyone's busy with our up coming school festival and in this regards, this week is intended for the preparations. Walang pasok.
"Oh, mauna na ako sainyo ha?" si Dylan at busy siya sa practice niya sa basketball. Defending champion sila kaya kailangan magsipag.
Si Mia? Ayun, nasa mga kaibigan niya na muna at magbibihis daw muna siya ng kanyang susuotin para sa rehearsal namin. Ako, nandito sa classroom at naghihintay kay Mia, nagsasaulo na rin ako ng lyrics sa gagawin naming talent portion.
I hate this part the most.
Alam ko sa sarili kong wala akong ka-telent talent lalo sa pagkanta at pagsayaw, but look where I am into now?! Nakakabadtrip talaga lalo na't wala akong choice. Isa pa, Mia's been really really patient with me at hindi niya naman ako pinapabayaan and she is actually convincing me that I can do it, and that I can do this because she's around and it honestly work.
Kahit na nakakahiya, kahit na I didn't like every single thing that's happening, wala akong choice lalo na at nakikita ko namang masaya si Mia, masayang masaya.
"JM?"
Napatingin ako sa lumapit sa akin and it's Maui, she's still in her crutches pero I think she is definitely fine naman.
"Hmmmm?"
"May mga gusto lang sana akong ipaturo saiyo about this subject, mediyo I'm cramming na kasi at malapit na ang School festival, last minute decision na rin ito." anito, "And, I really want to talk to you." she continued.
Maui will now be the representative of the Quiz ball tournament dahil sa nag backout na rin iyong former contestant. At least naman, despite her injury, may magagawa pa rin siya.
"What is it that you want to talk about Mau?" I asked habang iniiscan ko ang problems na binigay sa akin ni Maui.
She cleared her throat out. "Ahm, a--about dun sa pera na pinautang mo sa akin to get by with my finances habang hindi pa ako makakapagtrabaho ulit. Nahihiya man ako but I am really thankful sa tulong mo. It means a lot! At promise ko saiyo, babayaran kita kapag tuluyan na akong makabalik sa mga trabaho ko!" she said.
That's right. Pinautang ko na muna si Maui, around 50k para sa mga gastusin niya habang may crutches pa siya.
"Don't worry about that Maui, isa pa, si Mia talaga ang dapat mong pasalamatan! She's really concern with your well-being na lagi ka niyang iniisip, this is her idea also, sinunod ko lang siya. Isa pa, you are Mia and I's good friend, dapat lang naman iyon." I said.
"Ah, si Mia talaga! Lagi na lang niya pinoproblema iyong problema ng iba!" she giggled, "I--I'll thank her personally later lalo na pag tapos na itong busy days natin! Tsaka, may utang rin ako saiyo dati diba? Iyong tungkol sa Lolo ko? Ilista mo na muna ha?" she giggled a bit but I can sense she's a bit embarrassed.
"Never mind that Maui, that's okay!" simpleng tugon ko.
"Bebelabs, tara na! Oh, Maui, andiyan ka pala!" si Mia as she entered our classroom, "Kamusta?"
"Hi Mia! Okay lang, mediyo busy sa Quiz bowl preparation, buti na nga lang tinulungan ako ni JM eh!" si Maui.
"Mabuti naman kung ganun! Kamusta naman ang paa mo? Okay ka na ba?" and Mia's makulit side is here again.
