Napagpasyahan namin ni kuya Vhon na daanan muna si Tita V. aka Mrs. Velasquez. Mahigit isang taon din kasing nawala si kuya Vhon. And I'm also not sure if alam ni tita V ang pag-alis niya at hindi ko rin sure if namiss sya ni tita.
Dumiretso kami sa Principal's Office. At nagulat pa nga si tita kung bakit hindi pa ako umuuwi at bakit ako naroon kahit na di ako pinapatawag sa Office nya. Sinabi ko naman ang agenda ko. At isang dramatic entrance ang ginawa ni kuya Vhon.
Nagyakapan naman ang dalawa, kala mo isang dekada na silang hindi nagkikita.
"Tita Lyn, kumusta na po kayo? It's been almost eight years magmula ng makita ko kayo." Bungad ni kuya Vhon sa kanya.
"My goodness, ikaw na ba iyan Vhon?" Bati naman sa kanya ni tita.
"You look well... You actually look better than the last time I saw you." Dagdag pa nya.
Tumikhim naman ako to let them know about my presence.
"Finally." I spoke after they looked at me with curious gazes.
"Aside from kumustahan, I also have a different agenda kung bakit ako nandito." Actually, since nandito na rin ang tumatayo as one of my legal guardian, I might as well talk about regarding this university.
"My real agenda is about this university. My first project will be about the class schedule. " Pag-uumpisa ko.
"Go on." Pagpapatuloy sa akin ni kuya. Samantalang matamang nakikinig naman si tita since well-being ng buong university ang nakataya rito.
"The third shift, 6:30-11:30 PM will only be allowed to special classes. And by special classes, I mean gangsters and Mafiosos. Which means gangs and Mafias will be allowed inside the school premises with the permission of school board, faculty and the SSG." There. I dropped the bomb. Now, it's time for their reactions.
"May I ask the reason behind all of this?" Unang tanong ni tita na sinagot ko naman.
"Guards, check. Security cameras, check. Overall security, check. But what if our guards failed to protect us? Security cameras malfunctioned or we had a technical difficulty? Who will protect our dearest students if not ourselves?" Tanong ko pabalik.
"And this will also serve as training grounds for those aspiring mafiosos who wants to join AL Mafia. I'll also need to gather up aspiring apostles as the heiress of the said mafia. And as a matter of fact, we never know when will be their next attack." Iisa lang naman ang pinatutungkulan ko sa 'their' na iyon.
Ang ibang mafia nakalaban at napa-amo na namin. Pero yung organization na iyon? Yung pumatay kay mommy? Hindi pa. Every time we thought we already bit its tail, we're just back to square one. It's like a lizard, whenever we have its tail, he'll leave his tail behind with us and run for his life.
Kuya Vhon seems convinced but tita V looks like she's still contemplating about it.
“How are we going to do this? Preparations or anything? And what about their classes?" Sunod na tanong ni tita.
"I'll be the one to lead the preparations and as for their classes, half of their time would be allotted for their trainings and another half for the academics. The grading system is mostly composed of their performance with regards to their training. It will be graded by their coaches, some from the P.E. Department and some from the Mafia itself, and also other faculty staffs. I might also grade them myself." I answered as a matter-of-factly.
She suddenly went into deep thinking. Bumuntong hininga ito and then...
"When will this start?" I smiled. Mukhang ito na ang huling tanong ni tita.
"Three days from now. Monday. That's the time na ilalabas ang announcement. Hanggang Friday lang ang signing up. By Sunday, they should already belong to a gang. Kapag wala silang group na kinabibilangan, they will be tested by their skills. If pasado, then they can join the 3rd shift if not, I'll make the decision base on their ability." Paliwanag ko kay tita. She looked convinced, finally.
"Looks like we have a deal, Headmistress." I made a gross-looking face 'cause I wanna puke from what she said.

After ng pag-uusap namin kanina, napagdesisyunan naming dumiretso muna sa isang fancy restaurant which is a few blocks away from C.U. I'm on the passenger's seat sa black Audi ni kuya Vhon.
He also gave me a paper bag containing an elegant dress since mukha akong nerd sa current get-up ko, and another paper bag for my shoes. Sinuot ko naman iyon sa loob ng kotse nya since tinted naman ang glass nito. Madalas ko rin itong gawin sa kotse nila and they already gave up sa pagsaway sa akin.
"Done!" I screamed after kong masuot ang stilletos na binigay nya sa akin. Then, nilabas nya ang isang small box and he opened it in front of me. Pinagmasdan ko lang sya while doing this.
"A present. " Sabi nya with a smile.
"Ako nga ang dapat na may present na ibibigay since ikaw yung kauuwi lang ng Pinas eh. " I sheepishly told him.
He just gave me a warm smile in return. Yung tipo ng ngiti na binibigay nya sa akin kapag alam nya na may problemang gumagambala sa akin, telling me that it's fine.
Isinuot nya sa akin ang necklace na binigay nya. Tinanggal nya rin ang fake eyeglasses sa mata ko. At sabay na kaming bumaba sa sasakyan.
Inalalayan nya ako papasok sa restaurant. He ordered steak for the both of us and our usual wine. After a few moments dumating na rin ang inorder namin. Tahimik kaming kumakain while listening to a man playing some violin.
When we finished our meal ininom ko naman ang wine sa aking wine glass. Kuya Vhon took my hand with his right hand while he held a wine glass in his left. I took his hand without putting my wine glass down.
We strided down to the piano in the center of the restaurant.
"I want to hear my favorite piece... As your welcoming present for me??? Pleaseee???" He said with pleading eyes. I just heaved a deep sigh.
I approached the piano and the violinist let me take the stage. My mom used to teach me this piece and whenever I'm having bad thoughts, or even a great day I play it however I want. I play it depending on my mood and those who listens to it also depicts it however I like and however I want them to depict and understand it.
I started with a slow to moderate tempo. Feel na feel ko ang pagtugtog since it's been a while. Paminsan-minsan ay sinusulyapan ko si kuya Vhon at ang iba pang mga guests na lumapit sa kinapupuwestuhan namin.
A few tables away, may nakita akong nagppropose na lalaki to a young lady. Looks like it's a yes since nagyakapan silang dalawa with a proud smile on his face and a genuine smile from the lady while looking at her ring.
Nang matapos ko ang aking piece, maraming taong pumalakpak.
"It's a wonderful piece." Says a familiar voice. I'm pretty sure I've heard it somewhere before.
When I glanced to the place where the voice came from, I recognized it's from one of Khael's friend. If I'm not mistaken, I think he goes by the name John something... John Arthur Claveria???Clavecilla???
Umalis na rin ako sa aking pwesto at inaya na si kuyang umuwi. Sumang-ayon naman siya sa kagustuhan ko at tinahak namin ang daan papuntang mansion.
Dito na lang ako matutulog ngayong gabi.
