The Phantom of Dreams

TPD SAIS

Nandito kami sa conference room para e present yung project namin sa History. Si Jin ang nag presenta na siya ang mag rereport at sinang-ayunan naman naming lahat yun. Hindi ko alam na may question and answer portion pala ito and all members are required to answer certain questions kasi ang grade is naka based sa prof namin at sa ibang grupo na magtatanong.

Halos lahat ng aking mga ka grupo ay nakasagot na, tila ako lang itong walang balak mag salita sa lahat sa amin.

"This question is address to miss Gervacio" Sabi ng prof namin.

"You're groupmates said that San Jose Javier is one of the best places they've been to, how can you compare it to the place where you are born in terms of history and such?"

Napalunok ako sa tanong ni ma'am Chua,

"The place itself already speaks what kind of history it had and I believe mam comparison is not needed because they are totally different. San Jose Javier is the place where magic can happen. It will give you time to conceal yourself, and at the same time will you give you the peace that you are longing for because I felt that during our documentation. The place is so pure and innocent, unlike the busty, dirty, and noisy place of Manila."

"So are you saying that even after all the documentations you did you will still choose Manila?" Tanong ng isa kong kaklase

I smiled at her, "Why do I need to choose when all this time I know where I belong? San Jose Javier is a beautiful place but Manila will always be my home. Despite the negativity and issue of the place I will always protect and love it, and to answer your question yes, uuwi at uuwi ako to the place I call as home."

Pagkatapos kong masagot ang huling tanong tinignan ako ng aking mga ka grupo na tila mali ang naging sagot ko. Sorry guys I won't stay here for long.

Pumunta na ako sa unang laro na papanuorin ko sa araw na ito at yun ang basketball. Habang nanonood ako naaalala ko yung mga barkada ko. I once treat them like my real siblings but everything has change. Napangiti na lang ako.

Nag patuloy pa kami ni Audrey sa mga laro na kailangan naming puntahan hanggang sa nag deklara na siya na gusto na niyang kumain. Dumiretso na kami sa canteen ng makita namin sila Levi at Ash na kumakain. Doon umupo si Audrey kaya wala na akong choice kundi maki-upo na rin.

"Nakakagulat ang sagot mo kanina sa kaklase natin Ariah ha, hindi ako nag expect na ilalalag mo yung proyekto natin." Basag niya sa katahimikang pumapalibot sa amin.

"Hindi ko naman nilaglag Ash, the question is subjective I just answered it with the truth hindi ko naman alam na you will received it in the wrong way." Sagot ko sa kanya ng nakatingin.

"Oh really? Or you did it on purpose. Because you are hungry of attention?" She then smirked. Ang sarap bigwasan.

Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya tsaka lumingo at nagpatuloy sa pagkain.

"You cannot answer my simple question? Are you indirectly saying that my assumptions are correct?"

Tinignan ko siya ng matalim.

"What's with the look? C'mon Ariah stop hiding totoo naman diba? You badly want attention that's why you're here? My father is a lawyer Ariah and I let him do some checkings sayo." The she smiled.

"Teka di pwede yan ha? Invading of privacy yan!" Sabi naman ni Audrey.

Sa gilid ni Ash ay ang tahimik na si Levi na nakikinig lamang sa aming lahat.

Ngumiti ako nang nakakaloko sa kanya, "Oh? Then ano ang nakita niya? Might as well share with us."

"Are you really willing to let them know the real thing?" She smiled.
