I could not manage losing this time. My mom, pati si Dad, they were. . . argh watching! And the heck, their stares were the least thing I wanted to look at. Bakit? Punyeta, nakakamatay!
Hingang malalim, hinga. Kaya lang. . .
T
he pressure, it was really on. Lahat gustong manalo, sino ba namang tangang hindi?
Napakagat ako sa 'king labi. Kailangan kong magmadali.
Punyetang oras, bakit kasi parang ang bilis?
Tik. Tok. Tik. Tok. Tik.
Shit. Binilisan ko ang pagta-type sa keyboard habang ang pawis ko'y tumutulo na. Kasinglakas na ng kabog ng puso ko ang pagtipa ko. At kahit patapos na. . . I couln't feel at ease.
The heck, PowerPoint presentation lang 'to, punyetang kaba!
Saka ako lumingon sa katabi ko.
"Win, patapos ka na?"
Hindi niya ko nilingon. He just shook his head and continued what he was doing. And base on my observation, may mali, I just couldn't put my fingers on it. Shit, why? No way.
Sweats were already dripping from his face, he was fidgeting already on his seat and his eyes were too glued on his laptop. At kung mabilis ako mag-type, mas mabilis siya. Napapasuklay na rin s'ya sa kaniyang buhok, he was obviously frustrated.
Napalunok ako. It just made me felt more . . . the heck! I shouldn't get so nervous!
We only have one minute left.
As I shifted my gaze back on my work, I realized it was ready to be presented. I should just save it and boom— victory would be mine. However my mind was uncertain whether to save it or not. Yes, I would like to win, but. . .
I didn't want him to lose.
I looked at him again and witnessed his cursing, the anxiety was written all over his face. Then I looked at my parents who were eyeing me.
Hindi ko sila pwedeng ipahiya.
I swallowed, and heaved a deep sigh. Just as then, the emcee started counting down.
"Three. Two. . ."
I'm sorry.
I clicked the save button and went off my seat.
"One. Time's up!"
Sorry. But I have to do the right thing.
✨✨✨
