"Piggy, I will fucking tell you this one last damn time," Calvin is still fuming as we walked towards the cafeteria. It was situated on the latter part of the University.
"Kapag naging pabigat ka sa akin," he is obnoxiously pointing out that effin word. This bastard! "Iiwan talaga kitang baboy ka!"
"Pauli-ulit tayo, pare?" Hindi ko alam kung saan ako nakahugot ng tapang para sagutin siya. Pero mabait naman kasi siya this whole Rafael-mess-time kaya bakit hindi ko na lang sulitin, 'di ba? This is a rare ocassion. Why not make the most of it?
"Alam ko naman 'yon. Hindi na ako magiging pabigat sa 'yo dahil," I laugh, "mabigat na naman talaga ako!"
Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mga mata. "Tangina. Alam mo, minsan? Hanap ka ng kausap mo. 'Yung katulad mong alien." He hissed and walk fastly that I can never catch up to him.
That bastard.
I laugh more.
He is now walking afar from me and I was here, looking everywhere as if appreciating the surroundings. Hindi ko alam na ganito pala ka-ganda ang University kapag gabi.
Nothing special here but the combination of the darkness and the lights are creating neat vibes. It was really aesthetic. Cool.
When I turn my gaze away from the Building of Economics Department, my mouth falls open when I saw that table. That specific table was situated beside the Economics Department, it was made for the students to either study in or eat in.
But for me, it was more than that.
Shit . . .
Rafael, your memories are all over the places.
I find myself crying on this table beside the building of our department.
I can't accept.
I never can.
Economics has always been the subject that I want. It was the course I want and planned to end up to.
Pero bakit kulang pa rin?
Nag-aral naman ako.
Saan ako nagkulang?
Bakit bumagsak pa rin ako sa Econometrics?
Dahil ba 'to sa pagpapa-picture ko sa walang hiyang table na 'to? Sabi kasi ng mga seniors namin ay 'wag na 'wag magpapa-picture dito dahil may sumpa daw ang mesang ito. Hindi daw nakaka-graduate sa course iyong nagpapa-picture dito.
I can't believe that.
Because for me, that curse can only be applied to a monument of a University!
That was the reason why I still did it.
The dumb me still took a picture here. While sitting and grinning as if everything's all right. That there is no dreams that are about to fade.
