Ayan na naman ang nakakabwesit niyang tawag. Grrr. Habang ako’y kunwaring nagbabasa biglang may
Lumapit at tinakpan ng kamay ang libro ko.
“what?” parang may exclamation na ang pagkasabi ko nun pero kalmado pa. Timing din kasing paparami na ang tao kasi dismissal period na.
“kung minamalas nga naman oh. Ikaw? Dito ka sa school nag-aaral?
“ay hindi po. Tumatambay lang. Wala po kasi akong ID oh” sarcastic na pagkasabi habang tinuturo ang ID ko “At trip ko lang din magdala ng gamit. For ‘char lang’ purposes ba.”
“ay talaga?” with his actions mimicking a gay. At nang bigla xang lumapit sa akin at bumulong.. “Eh kung trip kong pagtripan kita?”
“See you around… Meldita! Halatang nabasa ang name ko sa ID.
“Hambog talaga!! Grrr..”In fairness, galing niya ha. Melissa Ilinita = MELDITA? Whaat?!
“Ang init Best. Sobra! Sunog na ata yang inuupuan mo oh.”
Grabe Best. Empaktang lalake yun.Akalain mo hanggang dito ba naman? Lakas ng pang-amoy niya noh? Aso ata teh. Walang available na lahi ng tao kaya sa aso nalang. Arf! Arf!
Hmmm.. Halo-halo tayo best! Treat mo.
Ganun?
Oh xa. Ako na! Ang baraaaat! Di halatang future businesswoman ka nga.
Thank you. I love you.
I hate you…
…for loving me so much.
Whatever!! in chorus ba naman?
Right then I was relieved. Simple na ang hapon ko at maaga na ding umuwi para magstudy kasi prelims na.
When I arrived home nasa bahay na din si Mama at Teddy. Nagmano ako kay Mama and greeted my brood “Teddy” imitating the voice of Mr. Bean.
My Mama Merlie is a secondary high school teacher who handles 2nd year students para sa Aralin Panlipunan and Physical Education sa freshmen. Katapat lang ng bahay naming ang pinagtatrabahuan ni mama.
By 9:00pm ginigising ako ni Mama for a glass of milk, biscuits and candies. Always present ang candies para di ako madaling antukin.
Ten in the morning yung call time ko down to 6 in the evening. Yung in-between hours na vacant serves me a time para magreview konti. I have 4 exams in a row. Aside from information overload, everything went good sa araw ko. Celine has her set of exams, too and may project din yun na hinahabol kaya we wished each other good luck thru text nalang.
Before Celine shifted to nursing, nag-enroll xa sa BS Economics per suggestion of the institution. MSU has the power to advise a course depending on your Student Admission and Scholarship Examination (SASE) results. When we used to be in the same college pa madalas kaming nagkikita sa student’s lounge. Pero nung nagshift na xa, what we do is we exchanged Certificate of Registrations (COR) so we know one another’s class schedule.
Late na akong dumating sa bahay at bilang pagod di ko namalayang umaga na pala. Vacant buong araw ko. Nagduty si Mama at pumasok na si Teddy nung paggising ko. Masaya naman kasi alam nila paano mag-unload ng stress. That is my paboritong Pansit!
Ginawa kong literal na “rest” day ang araw ko preparing for tomorrow’s battle. I haven’t heard much kay Celine at naging focused din ako sa pagcomply ng ka-echosan sa paaralan. I haven’t seen Mr. Hambog for quite long time. Ghost lang siguro yung nakausap ko last time ba? Sana nga.
When I grabbed my journal, I feel something is lacking. And to my surprise, I lost a piece of paper. “Oh my God!” There’s my signature on it and it’s a well-narrated story- my quest for Mr.Right. I’m almost paralyzed till I remember “Oh my! Hindi siya.Hindi niya maaaring pulutin iyon.Of all people??
I calm myself sa thought nabaka nasa ibang bag kolang or namisplace sa bahay.
It can’t be.
He’s nuts!Okay?
