Everything has Changed

Chapter 10

I've been very busy in the past few days because I keep on reviewing my notes and re-reading all my books that could possibly help me during my exams.

Maaga rin ako nagising to eat properly dahil mahirap daw mag-exam ng gutom.

"Hey, you can do it! I believe in you."

Dylan gave me a smack before saying those things. Sabay kase kaming kumakain ng breakfast since parehas kaming aalis ng 8 am. 6 am pa lang naman so okay lang na bagalan naming kumain.

"What if I failed the exam? What if na mental block ako? Paano na 'yun?" I was really worried about the exam later. Hindi ko na nga maubos yung breakfast ko sa sobrang kaba.

"Love, what if you will pass it? That's the proper thinking. Be positive thinker. You are going to make it. Just calm down and finish your food, okay? I love you."

Katulad ng sinabi nya ay kumain na lang ako. Maybe, I could really pass? Pinilig ko ang ulo ko at nagfocus na lang sa pagkain.

Nauna na syang maligo dahil ako na yung nagpresinta na maghugas ng mga pinagkainan namin.

Nang matapos sya ay ako naman ang naligo. Nang makapasok ako sa kwarto ay bihis na bihis na sya.

He's really that handsome. I am so lucky! He even smells so good.

"Done fantasizing, love?" he chuckled a bit. "Go get dress. You shouldn't be late." he planted a kissed on my forehead and fixed his briefcase and checked if he put all the paperworks or not. While me, well, naglalagay pa lang ako ng light make-up.

Nang matapos akong magmake-up at magbihis ay lumabas na ko together with my tote bag.

Dylan was busy putting his shoes while I was checking if I bring everything I needed in the exam later.

We leave at our unit at exactly 7:30. Malapit naman na kase yung pag-eexam-an ko and yung company nila kaya hindi naman siguro kami malelate.

When I enter the examination room, kaunti pa lang kami. Naupo ako sa may pinakalikod to read some of my notes.

Some of them are eating chocolates while reading and some are just relaxing.

How can they even relax at this moment? I hope I can do that, too.

When the examination started, all I felt was nervous. But then, when I saw the questions, I feel like I can pass it.

'Tama Ada, you will pass'

Nagfocus na ko sa pagsasagot and recheck all my answers dahil may remaining time pa naman.

When I passed my exam paper. May lima pang di natatapos and para na silang naiiyak.

"Just wait for the announcement of the board passers. Congratulations in advance."

Those were the last words of the instructor that was assigned to us after I passed my paper.

When I leave the room, I saw some parents na kino-congratulate yung mga anak nila dahil nakatapos na sa board exam. Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako.

They are so lucky. Imagine, di pa alam kung pasado or hindi sila sa board but then, their parents are so proud of them.

'I wished that my parents could do that, too. But it is so impossible.'

Pinunasan ko ang luha na tumulo sa mga mata ko at sumakay sa jeep going to our shop. Maybe I should be proud of myself because at this kind of age, I have a coffee shop na, right? I should not feel bad of not having my parents beside me to tell how proud they are for me.
