"Candidate number 7!"
Everyone was astonished by Zera's beauty that stood out in her silver off shoulder evening gown. Her black hair was curled. Medyo heavy ang make up pero kita pa rin ang totoo niyang ganda, hindi ko matatanggi. She walked down elegantly as her confidence oozes, I could tell she mastered this. When she twirled glamorously, that's when she caught everyone. She's undeniably beautiful. She's like a sparkle in the dark.
"Babe!" Greno called. Sabay pa talaga kaming napalingon ni Zera sa kaniya na para bang tinawag rin ako. Inangat ni Greno ang phone niya at nagthumbs up pa. Agad tuloy akong napaiwas ng tingin.
"Bitter." Pabirong tinakpan ng taong nasa likuran ko ang aking mga mata. Pinalo ko ang kamay niya kaso bigla niyang inalis kaya tumama ang palad ko sa sarili kong noo.
"Leche ka, Jahiem." Kaso nawala agad ang inis ko nang itapat niya sa labi ko ang straw ng coke float na iniinom niya. I took a sip and I could feel his other arm above my shoulder, as if he's hugging me from the back.
"Huwag mo ubusin." Pinatong niya ang baba niya sa ulo ko.
"Too late."
"Ingay niyong dalawa." Irita kaming sinaway ni Ryu kaso obvious naman na biro 'yon kasi may papatong effect pa siya ng hintuturo sa labi niya.
"Yes, they definitely can. These days the most unexpected piece of advice comes from young minds. We all have knowledge and we have a voice to speak out our opinions." Saglit nga, tungkol saan ba ang tanong at bakit sa gawi namin nakatingin si Zera habang sumasagot siya?
"Tungkol saan daw?" I held Jahiem's forearm and tilted my head a bit to take a glimpse of him. Kaso hindi niya rin pala alam ang tanong.
"Ano daw yung tanong?" Sabay pa kaming nagtanong kay Ryu na ngayon ay naka-ekis ang magkabilang braso at seryoso ang tingin sa stage.
"If the students can make a difference in politics even before they can vote." He answered. Oh, that's why she's looking at us. Zera probably know me as a PolSci student while Jahiem and Ryusaki are known to be a part of The Chroniqué that helps students blurt out their concerns including politics related stuffs.
"Just because they still don't have a license to vote, doesn't mean they're not allowed to participate in the process. If they have enough volume to make a fuss, they could educate us more. Influence doesn't come in age, as long as there's a unity and proper knowledge, a change is possible." Zera finished the sentence with a firm tone and a confident smile. "That's all, thank you!"
Wow.
She got me there.
My mouth was hanging a bit as I clap slowly. Pero may parte pa rin sa akin na gusto kong dagdagan ang sagot niya. May ilang punto pa ako na gustong i-elaborate at i-justify.
Younger people can voice out their stand, educate others even people older than them. Why? It's for their future too. Some politicians have already stolen dreams and childhood of so many people with their empty words and promises. Ayaw lang nilang maulit ulit o mangyari din sa kanila ang mapait na nakaraan.
