Chapter 07

I raised my brow and examine the text message. Ano 'tong kahangalan na 'to? Is this the thing that I've done earlier? Ang bilis naman ata nilang mag-hire? o baka talagang nangangailangan na sila? I don't know, I'm lost.

Well anyway, this is an opportunity. Kung pasok ito para sa schedule ko sa school then mas mabuti na nga iyon. I must go to this place para naman hindi ako batang ligaw sa pasukan at para na rin makatulong kay Lola Lira.

Days had passed at pasukan na ngunit hindi pa rin ako pumupunta sa sinasabing address. They wouldn't just give their address kung scam ito. I was contemplating to go yet if I was left out of choice, then I'll go.

Pumasok na ako sa eskwelahan upang hindi masayang ang aking mga araw. I found out that me and Tiff was accepted as scholars in this school. Gusto ko sanang magcelebrate kami kaso wala siya dito sa tabi ko. Kung hindi lang siya umalis sa unit ni Tito, ayos pa sana. Lola Lira was terminally ill pero ayaw niyang sabihin sa akin kung ano ang sakit niya. I want her to know that I am always here but I guess, she want to keep it to herself. If I could only put all of her pain in my body, ginawa ko na.

I sighed and erase everything in my head. Today I am in the school so I should just mind everything in school. I composed myself and literally hop for a moment. I shrug everything off before walking again. Nasa gate na ako ng Horiado University at natutuwa ako sa mga estudyanteng nakikita. They seem so happy about their life.

Sa totoo lang, kagalakan sa akin ang makitang masaya ang iba sa buhay nila. That way, I could think that I was only the one who's suffering. I hate to see people who kept on crying and losing hope, nakakahawa... but I know that in our life, kung ano pa ang ayaw mo ay siya pang makikita mo. Funny isn't it?

The ideal part of this world is that we all can be happy. It's all upon our choices if we wanted to be happy or will just stay ungrateful. Of course! Who would want to be sad all along? Definitely me because I was born to be unhappy. Hindi na nga ako naging masaya sa buhay ko dahil sa mga desisyon ng magulang ko. I am just so happy right now as in ngayon lang dahil nakahinga at nakawala na ako sa mga chains na isinasakal sa akin ng mga magulang ko. At least, I can decide on my own now without their chains around me.

Mabilis ang naging lakad ko papunta sa una kong unit na papasukan. Well, It was fun to see people around here. Marami pala talagang tao kapag nasa siyudad ka. Sa Pampanga ay hindi pa ako nakakakita ng ganitong kamatao na lugar.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry." sabi ng babae na nakabunggo sa akin.

What a perfect time to be stumbled by somebody. I was in the floor as if I am being bullied yet the only twist is that, I am not being bullied and the person who hit herself to me is nice.

I get all the things na nahulog noong nabunggo niya ako at tinulungan naman niya ako. All eyes were with us pero panandalian lamang iyon at nagsipaglakad na din sila papunta sa kani-kanilang mga business.

The vixen girl looked at me apologetically, "I'm sorry po, hindi ko po sinasadya. I was just in a hurry." aniya.

"Ah, no worries. Hindi naman ako napuruhan." I gave her a slight smile after saying it.

Mabuti na lang at mabilis ko nang nakuha ang mga gamit ko. The bell rang suddenly meaning ay oras na at next classes na. I immediately ran towards the room that I should go not minding the statements that the girl will say at halos ipagpasalamat ko na wala pang guro nang makarating ako. I immediately roam my eyes to find some seat at ang pinaka the best ay yung upuan dito sa gitnang bahagi ng mga rows at kanang dulo pa. Hindi masyadong pansinin kung naroon ako.

Wala namang tao kaya doon na ako pumunta. Other people here seems to know each other pero hindi ako. Malamang dahil bagong salta lamang ako sa lugar na ito. I put my bag down para hindi na hassle at hinintay na lamang ang guro.
