6:45 pm


The bell rang which means that my agenda for today is finished. I took my bag and put it on my left arm as walk myself out of our classroom. Malakas ang hangin dito sa parking lot at kasabay no'n ay ang mga sumasayaw sa ere na tuyong dahon

I was taking my walk to my car when someone stand before me. He's tall enough for me to lift my head just to look at his face.

"H-hey" Halatang pagod at galing sa mahabang takbohan ito.

"Accept this please" he handed me a rectangular box. Tumango lang ako at kinuha ito. I'll just throw this after he leave

"Buti nalang at tinanggap mo kundi masasayang ang pagod ko" ngumiti ito "Buti nalang" he repeat as he laughs

"What if this is a Bomb?" Medyo may kabigatan ito at may umaalog sa loob. Umiling naman ito na hudyat na hindi ito isang bomba.

"You'll like it trust me" he said with a wide smile drawn in his lips

"Aalis na ako" I said without looking at him

"By the way I'm——" hindi ko na sya pinatapos at pumasok sa sasakyan. Inilabas nito ang notebook at may sinusulat. Iniharap nya ito sa windshield ng sasakyan ko. "I'm Taza. Taz for short"

Taz? Sinenyasan ko ito na umalis at nag drive na ako pauwi. Pin-lay ko yung believer ng Imagine Dragons habang tinatahak ang daan

"Welcome home,miss Agape" bati ng isa sa mga maid namin. A new one? Or maybe I'm just not paying attention to her


"Issabel po ma'am, nakalimutan nyo na naman" napakamot ito sa ulo

"Where are they?" I said, referring to my parents. She just paused for a minute, thinking a lie she could tell

"Baka nasa kompanya pa po sila ma'am" I nodded, faking a smile, I'll just pretend to buy that like I always do. Umakyat na ako at pumasok sa kwarto.

You shouldn't expect more, Agape, they don't even know if you're doing well and may also be your existence.

No one cares for you.

You are always alone, you aren't love, you're useless, pathetic, weak, Agape.


It was her, the voice inside my head

Ibinaon ko nalang ang mukha ko sa unan at hinayaang kainin ng antok




The next day, wala pa rin sila mom and I know late na naman sila uuwi or perhaps bukas.
Nag breakfast na ako at ginawa ang morning rituals.

8:20 am


"You're an hour and ten minutes late" Our professor said without looking at my direction, I nodded. like I'm not aware. Nag simula ng mag discuss ang professor namin

"Psst"

"Accrued Interest Receivable is the interest earned on notes receivable but not yet received in cash"


"Psssst"


"It is the interest to be collected with notes——"

"Who the hell keeps on hissing?!" Our professor exclaimed. He is known for being strict and foul-mouthed to his students. Everyone is now facing him, straight. Our room filled with silence


"It's me, sir" nilingon ng mga classmate ko ang nagsalita at napuno ng bulongan

"He's new isn't he?"
