All this Time

Lintek yan! Ang bilis talaga ng panahon, The following week wala kaming ginawa kung hindi mag review, Mag report at mag pasa ng Activity. Tommorow is already the last set of exam namin for this semester, ngayon naman chill lang kami dito sa library nag iintay para sa last subject of exam for this day.

"Absent parin si Cole?" Tanong ko kay Rocel dahil simula nung Monday wala si Cole, Then nabalitaan namin na absent na pala siya for almost two days. "Wala parin, Hindi nga nag o-online manlang, Wala din akong balita....Baka may sakit" Rocelida said, Nakakapanibago tuloy walang nanggugulo saamin, Hindi rin namin kami close sa mga barkda niya para makibalita.

"BS Architecture? Line up na po para sa exam" Narinig namin na ina-announce through the speaker kaya agad naman na tumayo itong si Rocel. "Babush na! Mag eexam na ako, Dito ulit ako maghi-hintay" Paalala niya bago lumbas ng library at mag take ng exam.

"Ako kaya? Kailan mag e-exam? Apaka tagal!" Komento ko sa aking sarili habang nagba-browse ng notes, Susko! Wala nang pumapasok sa utak ko!

Vane be like: Put me out of your mind! So you can focus!

"Okay ka lang?" Nag aalalang tanong ni Van kay Gio, Si Gio naman ang mukhang wala sa pokus ngayon. "No....Nalaman na ni Mommy" Gio announced making Van furrow his brows.

"Alam what?" Van curiously asked.

"Me and Cole has a big secret na kami lang together with Dad ang nakakaalam" Gio said making Van curious and confused again

"Mom don't want Cole to get BS Architecture, Instead she wants him to take Industrial Engineering" Gio said having a lot of sympathy for his baby brother. "At ako bilang supportive kuya, I help him get an exam for Architecture ng hindi nalalaman ni Mommy"

"I don't think there's wrong getting what he wants" Van said which Gio totally agree. "Oo tama ka, But If you know my Mom...She want's us to have a designated role sa company, She wants us to get benefits with it, She isn't selfish at all. Naiintindihan kong iniisip niya ang future ni Cole" Komento ni Gio tungkol sa desisyon ng kanyang Ina para kay Cole.

"So what will gonna happen now? Is he going to continue Architecture?" Van asked worriedly "I don't know but for sure Mom is planning to stop him"

"At worst baka ilipat siya sa Enderun then he will have shifting of course" Namo-morblemang balita ni Gio.

"Enderun?" Van asked

"Oo maybe doon siya ita-transfer ni Mom or sa Ateneo" Gio announce

Enderun? Hmmmm? Nangangamoy COPEY!

"Bilisan mo!" Pabulong na sigaw ni Hope kay Zian, Hulaan niyo kung ano ginagawa ng dalawang to? "Ayaw ko nga! Dapat mabagal lang!" Sagot naman ni Zian bago bungguin ang balikat ni Hope.

"Ang epal mo! Ayan natalo tuloy ako!" Hope said before pouting cutely towards Zian, Well these to young people decide to meet at an Arcade after their classes. "Hahaha sabi ko kasi sayo! Dapat mabagal lang! Nabangga ka tuloy!" Natatawang paalala ni Zian, Napigil naman ang pagtatawanan ng dalawa dahil may umepal sa gitna nila.

"Walang pang reply si Rocel! Baka hindi pa tapos" Singhal ni Hanz na pumagitna nung dalawa. "Ang epal mo! Nagsosolo kami dito e!" Reklamo naman ni Hope, surprisingly mas vocal si Hope sa relasyon nila Zian sa isa't isa. Kahit wala namang sila! It's a typical Mutual Understanding situation for the both of them.
