JENNIE

Finally, nakarating na din kami sa Philippine Military Academy. Malaki din pala dito. Talagang makikita mo na puro armies ang nandito. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na close pala sina Mom and Dad sa Leader Chief kaya pinaghandaan pa kami ng makakain. They're so kind.

Nag-uusap usap lang naman sila dito until the Leader Chief, asked me. "You look so beautiful, girl. Nakikita kita sa magazine. Sayang yang kutis mo kung nandito ka. Are you really interested to work here?" at nang dahil doon, natawa naman sina Mom and Dad.

This is so embarassing. Tsk.

My Mom chuckled, "We know it, Sir. Gusto lang naman namin na mas madisiplina lalo yang anak namin. Para naman matuto." natatawang sambit ni Mom.

"Yeah, Sir. Nagiging pasaway na kasi yan. She's brat." dagdag pa ni Dad tsaka nagtawanan naman sila dito. Ugh, I hate that. Ayaw ko yung pinag-uusapan nila ako.

"Oh really? Good for you. Well, goodluck here, Ms. Jennie Kim. I hope you'll enjoy here." nakangiting sambit nung Assistant ni Leader Chief. Babae siya, she's already on 30s but she's looks still young. She's absolutely pretty.

I just smiled on her, "I do Ma'am." nakangiting sambit ko sa kanya.

"Good for you, cause you'll experiencing hard training here. Just don't break the rules here, you'll be giving some punishments." nakangiting sambit ni Leader Chief sa rason na kinabahan ako. He's scaring the fuck out of me.

But still, I flashed a sweet smile to them, "Sure." I said as they all nodded.

Nag-usap lang naman sila dito. I just drinked water. Tsaka ko tinignan ang paligid dito. Madalas training field ang makikita mo dito. Ang sobrang lawak. Masarap ang simoy ng hangin dito at malamig din. Well.. Baguio.

Nakikita ko naman na may mga dumadaan na mga cadets dito. Mga babae at lalaki. Kadalasan napapansin kong napapatingin sila sa akin at mukhang pinag-uusapan pa nila ako.

"Oh, wait. She's Jennie Kim? The famous model on Elle Magazine?"

"Yes. What are she doing here?"

"Don't tell me that she's working here? She's too rich and beautiful to be here."

"I think she's working here. Naririnig ko kasi sa mga first class students kanina."

"Oh."

Iniwas ko nalang ang tingin ko sa kanila. Kilala talaga ako as model of famous magazine. Pero ngayon, makikilala ako bilang cadet sa PMA. Nakakapanibago din yun sa iba. Lalong lalo na sa mga kamodel mates ko noon sa Elle. They will be shocked 'coz I'm not model. Because from now on, I'm a cadet.

Huminga lang ako ng malalim at uminom ako kaagad ng tubig. Makakaya ko din dito. Desisyon kong pumunta dito. Kahit mahirap, kakayanin ko nalang.

"Are you okay sweety? What are you thinking?" nakangiting tanong sa akin ni Dad.

I smiled and nodded, "I'm okay. I'm just looking the nice view here." nakangiti kong sambit habang binalik ang tingin ko sa malawak na training field.

"Well that's not only a view. That's our training field." nakangiting sambit ni Assistant sa akin.

Napapatanong lang ako sa sarili ko, ano kaya ang mga training dito. Mahirap ba? Of course, Jennie. The challenges here are not just a piece of fucking cake.

Pagkatapos mag-usap usap dito nina Mom, tumayo na sina Mom and Dad. Tumingin sila sa akin ni Dad and they smiled to me.

"Okay. We're leaving now, sweety. Enjoy ka dito ha? Babalikan ka namin uli ni Dad mo bukas. Be strong." My Mom said and she went closer to me, she kissed my forehead.
