Dekko Enriquez is a walking sunshine. Negativity has no room in her world and she believes in the goodness of people. Suddenly, her world did a 360-degree rotation...turning into dark, gruesome and bloody.
How will bubbly Dekko handle being a suspe...

“I LIKE THE way I can’t keep my focus I watch you talk, you didn’t notice I hear the words but all I can think is We should be together Everytime you smile, I smile And every time you shine, I’ll shine for you…”
I sang along when the song reached its chorus. The weather’s still gloomy but it isn’t as bad as yesterday, so the classes now resume.
I woke up feeling so bright today, not only that, I was two hours early to my supposed schedule. So I decided to bake a blueberry cheesecake for Seri and Mich.
Habang nakasalang na sa oven ang cake, naisip kong maglinis ng aking unit. Ganadong-ganado akong nagwawalis habang sinasabayan ang kantang tumutugtog. Para bang ‘di ako napapagod dahil nagawa ko pang mag-mop ng sahig.
Hindi kasi ako kumuha ng cleaning lady kahit pa pinipilit ako ni Mom. Palagay ko kasi ay kayang-kaya ko namang linisan ang unit ko, isa pa ay natutuwa naman akong ayusin ito. Si Fia kasi na katabing unit ko ay may pagka-tamad sa paglilinis kaya kumuha pa siya ng tagalinis.
Nang tumunog ang alarm ko—hudyat na dapat ko nang ilabas ang cake mula sa oven, ay agad akong nagtungo sa kusina. Pinalamig ko muna ito ng ilang minuto bago ko sinimulan ang pag-decorate.
I carefully squeezed the icing bag around the cake. Then I placed the blueberries on the center. When I’m satisfied with its look, I placed it on a clear cake container.
Rightafter, I went to my bathroom to prepare for school. I feel so giddy that I even started a mini concert inside the bathroom—singing and dancing to New Hope Club’s Tiger Feet. And yes, I also have speakers inside.
While looking for something to wear, a pastel pink dress with cherry print caught my attention. It’s a spaghetti strap type which falls just above my knee. I grinned upon seeing that it fits me perfectly. I partnered it with a white open toe shoes.
Another hour passed and I’m now riding the elevator down. Mang Robert’s on duty when I passed by. I stopped to greet him. “Good morning po, Mang Robert!”
“Magandang umaga, Ma’am Dekko,” bati niya pabalik. “Mukhang maganda ang gising mo ah. Pati ang suot mo ngayon, Ma’am.”
Pabiro akong umikot para ipakita ang dress na suot. “Bagay po ba?”
“Aba’y oo naman!”
Saglit pa kaming nagtawanan ni Mang Robert habang hinihintay ko ang Grab. Nang matanaw kong nasa malapit na ito ay nagpaalam na rin ako. Hindi pa mataas ang sikat ng araw gawa ng kaaalis lamang ng bagyo kagabi, pero hindi na umuulan.
Pagkarating ko sa university ay pansin kong matamlay ang ibang mga estudyante. Maging sa aming classroom, marami ang naghihikab. Parang ako lang yata ang active na nakikinig sa mga lectures.
“Please do an advance reading for our next lesson by tomorrow. We will have an activity before the lecture.”
After announcing that, our professor in Statistics dismissed us. I watched as my blockmates lazily get up from their seats, while I excitedly ran towards my friends. We decided to spend our one hour vacant in the cafeteria to eat the cake.
