Chapter 28
Para kaming mga tanga ni Jexter dahil kanina pa namin inaasar si Elton. Pinilit kasi siya ni Mama na mg apply ng hair gel dahil sabog sabog daw tingnan yung natural na ayos ng buhok niya
"Hindi ko alam na kapatid ko pla si Dr. Jose Rizal" natatawang parinig ko habang nag susuot ako ng vans checkerboard "Bayaw, ngiti na. Konti nalang ipapa frame ko na picture mo" Agad naman kaming sinaway ni Mama nang matapos narin siya sa pag aayos "Sorry na kapatid, di naman to mabiro"
Kinuha ko na ang bag ng dslr ko nang palabas na kami ng bahay "Kukutusan ko na kayo, ang iingay niyo" he said with a tone of being annoyed
Naka white polo si Jex habang naka light blue na formal dress naman si Mama at naka white knitted top naman ako and I paired it with my faded jeans and topped my outfit with a plaid blazer.
"Let's go bayaw, panira ng araw Ate mo diba?"
I immediately pinched the sides of Jexter because of what he said. Jex brought his civic and he insisted on driving us towards Tonton's school "Akala mo naman hindi mo inaasar ni Elton" sabat ko nang maupo kami ni Mama sa backseat habang nasa harapan naman sila Jex at Elton
Elton played A Million Dreams at the player and he slightly sing along with it. Iyon daw kasi ang kakantahin nila mamaya "Masyadong common ha, gamit na gamit na" pang aasar ko ulit sa kapatid ko at nagulat naman ako nang marahas siyang lumingon sa akin
"Ako ba pumili?" he said with his cold and serious voice "Ma si Tonton oh"
Jexter parked his car near the school's gymnasium and he already opened the door for us.
Grade ten students were already around the area, the chairs are divided into two. Inihatid na ako ni Jexter sa area na kinauupuan ng mga magulang ng mga ka klase niya "Pang unang tatawagin section namin Ate, ito yung program pati pamaypay. Doon kami naka upo ha" Sunod sunod niyang sabi at tumango lang ako
"Sige na Kuya Elton" Sabi ko habang itinulak siya palayo. Nasa pinaka unahang row ako ng upuan dahil alphabetical parin ang pagkakaupo ng mga escort.
At exactly 10:40 am ay nag start na ang moving up ceremony.
Pina pila na ng school staff ang section nila Elton pati narin kami na parent nila. "We're proud of you Elton" bulong ko sa kanya nang magka tabi na kami sa pila
"Arcega, Elton Josiah V. Mag aaral na may mataas na karangalan"
Naglakad na kaming magkapatid patungo sa stage at napangiti ako nang malakas na nag palakpakan ang nasa mga upuan "Congratulations Elton, Congratulations Ms. Arcega" naka ngiting sabi sa amin ng principal nang makipag kamay kami sa kanya
The moving up came to an end as the completers finished singing their moving up song. I can't help but to feel goosebumps as the students sing their hearts and dreams out.
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna takeA million dreams for the world we're gonna make
For the world we're gonna make
"Elton! Nako I'm so proud of yo anak, sayo rin Estelle" naka ngiting salubong sa amin ni Mama nang maka balik kami ni Tonton dito sa parking area "Thank you, Ma" sabay yakap ni Elton kay Mama "Drink this" abot sa akin ni Jexter ng bottled water na binuksan niya "Picture muna! Mamaya may hihila na diyan kay Elton"
