Walang Forever

Chapter 6

Tapos na last ng class ko pati na rin yung group meeting na wala namang nangyari kung hindi mag-assign lang ng mga dapat dalhin for our group project. Akala ko naman matagal 'yun, sana nakapag pa-schedule pa ako ng iba pang meeting. 

So, naglakad-lakad na lang muna ako around the campus.

Uuwi na ba ko? Wala naman na 'kong kailangan pang gawin. Pero ayoko muna, baka isipin ng Gene na 'yun umuwi ako ng maaga para sa kanya. 

Then I realized that I was walking towards the exit of our school. I stopped walking all of a sudden.

Wait! Kailangan mag-isip pa 'ko ng mga pwedeng gawin. Baka may hindi pa ko natatapos. Ano pa ba? 

Then a sudden tought strike me. Yes, maglilinis na lang ako ng office.

I quickly head back nang masalubong ko si Tiffany. Malayo pa lang nakangiti na sya sa'kin. Well, she's always like that; always smiling and all.

"Hello Ate Ranielle." She greeted with a wave. She's one year younger at sa pagkakatanda ko she's a biology student.

I nodded my head at her as a gesture that I saw her.

"'Yung office okay na ba?" I asked her.

"Hindi po ako dumaan dun pero baka po walang tao dun." She explained.

Perfect, maglilinis na lang ako ng office instead of playing such dumb game with those men who acts like boys.

"Sige, thanks."

I went to the office as slow as I can para magsayang ng oras. Oh diba? Ang pagkakaalam ko lagi akong gahol sa oras but this time...I'm wasting it. Achievement unlocked.

When I got there I opened the door quickly and luckily there was no one inside.

Kinuha ko agad ang walis at mop then I scanned the whole room. Malinis naman na halos itong office because I nagged at anyone if ever I see this office in a mess. Well, konting walis at punas lang ng sahig ito but I need more than that.

Nagsimula na kong magwalis at magkuskos pero wala pang fifteen minutes ang nakakalipas! So I decided to scrub the wall too, even the windows, kahit yata kisame winalis ko na, pati nga yung mga naka-alphabetical na files inulit ko i-file but as I glance at my watch. It has been thirty minutes only? What the hell?

I was startled ng biglang may nagbukas ng pinto.

"Excuse." Drake said as he went inside the room. He looked at me and to the broom that I was holding.

"Anong ginagawa mo?" He asked dumbly.

"Ano sa tingin mo? Nagkakalat? Naglilinis ako. Ikaw? Ba't nandito ka?" Pagsusungit ko.

"Marunong ka pala mag-linis?" He said chuckling at me.

"Wala kang pake kung marunong ako o hinde." I said rudely. 

"Ako na dyan." He walked towards me para kunin sa kamay ko yung walis at dustpan.

"Ako na." Sabi ko habang inaagaw ang walis sa kanya. Anong problema nito? I need to do this para tumagal pa ko dito sa school. 

"Baka mapagod ka pa." Inagaw nya ulit ang walis and he started to clean the floor which is already clean kasi nawalisan ko na.

Bigla kong naalala yung conversation nila ni Bab sa radyo kanina.

"Okay. Fine. Pati ilalim ng tiles walisan mo ah?" I ordered as I walked towards the couch.

"Ha? Bakit ganun ang mga babae bilis magshift ng mood." He said as he gave me a quick sneer.
