For the past days, I tried to act cool like nothing happened. Minabuti ko nang iwasan siya. Madali lang naman iyon dahil halos kabisado ko na ang oras kung kailan siya naglalagi sa kusina, sa sala at maging sa bakuran.
Madalas naman ay wala siya maghapon. I remembered how he told his friends about going to a site for his part-time job. Maybe a construction site, I guess. At papagabi na kung dumating.
Aside from that, I became busy for 3 reasons.
One is visiting Joya's tomb, telling her stories about my interview and the demo. Siyempre kasama sa kuwento ko 'yong bago kong board mate. I just hope, she doesn't get annoyed by Paco too, upon hearing about him.
The other one is visiting her parents who might change their minds and reveal the reason behind their lies and the truth behind Joya's death. But, I end up being shoved away.
I wonder why. Why would they lie about it? And why wouldn't they let me interfere in opening the case to serve justice for their daughter? I don't understand them at all.
And lastly, my self-review for the upcoming LET. Ang hirap-hirap! Sobrang hirap! Lalo pa at distracted ako sa maraming bagay!
Anong sabi ng magta-top 1 ako? I already promised it to Joya. Ngayon ako'y nganga. At wala akong karapatang tamarin. Walang karapatang magtulug-tulugan. I have to work this out.
Maybe I have made this my goal for now since I can't give justice to her. But at the back of my mind, I have made this as my punishment for my sin. So, whether I like it or not, I have to do it. Kailangan kong magsunog ng kilay. Kailangang kong mag-effort man lang. Kahit kunwari lang.
Kakauwi ko lang galing sa lugar kung saan naaksidente si Joya. Looking again for some clues and asking some people who lived nearby.
At gaya ng dati, ganoon pa rin ang resulta. Nada! As in wala! Parang ang sarap murahin ng justice system ng bansa. Bulok! Kakatamad. Kakaimbyerna. Kaya huwag niyo nang pagtakhan kung bakit ang mga mahihirap ay lalong mas humihirap at ang mga api ay mas inaapi.
The girls are calling me especially Shaza. She kept on texting me. But I refused to answer them. I know they had problems too. Ayokong dumagdag. Wala silang responsibilidad sa akin. Nang buksan ko ang pintuan ng boarding, I heard Paco talking to someone over the phone.
"She's back."
Napatango siya sa kinakausap. I can't hear the person on the other line but more or less, I already have a guess. Nakailang missed calls din sila sa akin.
"No need to worry." He's standing in front of his door with a phone in his right hand. "Yeah. Sure."
Tinapos na niya ang tawag at ako naman ay nagbaba ng tingin nang mapalingon siyang muli sa akin. I walked past through the living room, straight to the stairs.
