"Oo, halata naman. You're already 20s but you acted like a 7 years old kid." Seryosong sabi ko sa kaniya, ignoring what he said on his last two words.

"Well, son of a rich family, spoiled," dagdag ko pa.

"Huy hindi, hindi ako spoiled." Asik niya sa akin kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya, sakto naman na nagtama ang paningin namin.

"Eh ano?" panunuya ko sa kaniya.

"Let's say, I just want attention. Being rich not all means we're spoiled and being childish. It's because our parents can't give their full-time attention, lalo na ako at gobernador ang Daddy ko at lagi namang busy ang Mommy  ko. What do you think?" Seryoso niyang sabi kaya napatitig  ako sa mukha niya.

"Hmm?" Naiusal ko na lang.

As he was saying those words, I can see his loneliness. Siguro dahil ang lagi ko lang napapansin sa kaniya ay pagiging hyper niya at masiyahin, I never think and care his inside thoughts. Ganoon pala ang tinatamo niya.

"They're giving me all the money they have, the materials that i needed but do you know what I needed the most?" Tanong niya sa seryosong mukha, hindi ko tuloy maiwasang mailang sa pagiging seryoso niya.

He's saying me his private life which is not right, I think I'm not the right person whom he can share his feelings. Lalo na at alam kong parte lang ito ng misyon ko. To get rid of his corrupt and the  illegal transactions regarding drugs of his father.

"Ano?" I asked.

"I don't need any material things, their money they have but all I want from them is their love. Parang nabubuhay na lang ako para lang gawin ang gusto nila. Hindi ko na inisip ang gusto ko sa buhay just because they say so. I am beyond their control," he seriously told me.

I blink my eyes because I can't look straight into his eyes.

"Animation by reduction is usually carried out in cast-iron vessels (1600 galloons capacity or higher) and alkali reductions in carbon steel vessels of desired sizes. The vessel is usually equipped with a nozzle at the base so that the iron oxide sludge or entire charge may be run out upon completion of the reduction." Our Prof explained his lesson in front habang may chart naman sa powerpoint niya.

"Get one half crossewise of paper, we have a test." Dagdag nito kaya agad-agad kaming kumuha ng papel.

Surprised quiz na naman, buti na lang at nag-group study kami kahapon nila Kairo and Laina. I think I can't have a zero as my score, kahit 1 lang pwede na atleast may tama ka pa.

"Number one to six, what are the common reducing agents available under the restrictions?"

Wow! Unang question pa lang ay anim na ang sagot, iba talaga kapag sa college. Lahat hindi mo aasahang mangyayari.

Sinulat ko ang sagot sa papel ko ng tahimik, nakita ko pa ang mga kaklase ko na mukhang kinakapa sa sagot. Marahil ay kulang ng isang agent ang maisasagot nila.

1.   Iron and acid
2. Zinc and alkali
3. Sodium sulfide or polysulfide
4. Sodium hydrosulfite
5. Electrolytic hydrogen
6. Metal hydrides

"Next, animation can also be achieved by the use of ammonia (NH3) process called what?"

Seriosly? He didn't teach us it yet he's asking those things to us. Good thing I reviewed it yesterday, ewan ko nga lang kila Laina dahil hindi na namin 'yun na-tackle kahapon.
