PART 2
--who called?
Nag lalakad na ulit ako going to my next class
I almost forgot na may tumatawag nga pala.
I get my phone from my pocket…
Si Lizalynn pala ang tumawag..
naka four miscall pala siya..
si Lizalynn, I was married with her for almost 10 years na last March 26.
Lizalynn is a head sa akin for two years.
I met her during college years ko.
Me and her decides to get married when I am 23 and she is 25..
Actually plan niya yun to get married at the age of 25.
Now we have our one kid, si franz turning 10 na siya nung august 23.
I have a wonderful family but suddenly something happen which make that broke my heart into pieces every time I remember..
Something I decided not to talk to it anymore.
My phone rings na naman and of course sino pa ba eh di si lizalynn.
Me: hello?
Lizalynn: dad?, bakit hindi mo sinasagot ang mga tawag ko kanina pa?
Me: nasa class ako.
Lizalynn: dad? Are you going to eat here at the house for dinner tonight?
Me: mauna ka na sa labas na lang ako kakain, wag mo na rin akong hintayin gagabihin ako.
Lizalynn: gagabihin? First day pa lang ngayon ha.
Me: marami akong dapat ayusin sa faculty. Bye.
Lizalynn: but…
Toooot. ..
The line was cut, as I said daming nag bago simula nang mga nangyari.
Nag punta na ako sa next class..
And as the life and a day of a professor natapos na rin ang long day with my students.
Nakakapagod ang teaching but since I get off my foot sa field academe na lang ang pinagtuonan ko ng pansin when it comes sa carrer ko.
“class dismiss!”
Last word that teacher will say for a day.
I was on my way to the restaurant.
6:30 pm and early dinner sa pinakamalapit na restaurant.
Transparent glass restaurant and from that view may nakapukaw ng mata ko.
She a very tall lady, sitting at the third row couch away from the glass door as I see she is wearing pink dress that fits her very much. I can say she was totally heavenly beautiful, a sweet Goddess she flip her hair and stock me for a moment. I walk towards her and she just looks at me and gives a humane smile. The lady starts to speak and say…
“Hi, why are looking at that way?”
I’m just standing beside the table by that moment I’m stock and cant move my finger.
“Sherwin? Are you okay?”
I kiss her on the forehead and say “of course I am! Cindy..”
She smiled to me and asks.
Cindy: okay sige, hungry ka nab a?
Me: kanina OO, but nang nakita kita busog na ako eh.
She smiled like laughing.
Cindy: a-woosh! Sige ha. Wag kang kakain. She smiled to me again..
I love the way she moves and talk very natural..
Me: sige order mo na ako ng carbonara. Nagugutom ako sa ngiti mo eh.
Cindy: kakainis ka.. pinakikilig mo ako..
She called the waiter agad to placed are order.
Cindy: waiter.
Waiter: yes ma’am.
Cindy: can I have one carbonara with love para sa partner ko.
Then she looks at me.
I can hear her placing order but para akong lutang sa pagtitig sa kanya.
Cindy: thank you! Jun (name nung waiter)
Sherwin: dami mong inorder.
Cindy: huh?!
Sherwin: dami mong inorder ikaw pa lang busog na ako.
Cindy: Sherwin, nagturo ka alng today and corny mo na but I like it. Umm wait.
Sherwin: why?
She was getting something from her bag and say
“HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE...”
Yes, anniversary naming. It’s been a long time na rin pala since I see her at the campus.
Thank you for reading.
