I looked when someone tapped my shoulder. I saw my professor standing in front of me. She smiled. "Rein, recognition day on Friday. I need you to be there so you can receive your certificate. Okay?" Paalala nung Prof ko.


"M-Miss? What certificate?" Lito kong tanong. Wala naman akong naalalang sinalihan ko na contest or anything.


She smiled at my confusion. "It's for the most outstanding student in our class. Of course, you need to accept the certificate for that, dear."

I almost gaped in front of her.


O-Outstanding?! Oh my God!

"R-Really?" I couldn't believe it! I thought I wasn't eligible anymore since she rejected my business plan, twice.


"Yes, Rein. I'll see you on Friday, okay?" She turned towards my blockmates to address them. "You can take your rest, guys. Our semester is done."


All of my block mates cheered. Syempre. They can finally celebrate and have fun without worrying about deadlines and school works.


"Yes! Thank you, Miss!"


"Yay, let's go na!"


"Wooh! Beach tayo!"


"But wait..."


Tumigil sila nung nagsalita ulit yung Prof namin. Naupo sila namg maayos at humarap.


"You still need to go here this week. Fix your papers and clearance first. Okay?" Paalala sa amin ng Prof.


Pwede na kaming mag-enroll for the next semester para hindi na kami pumila pa nang mahaba bago magsimula ang next semester.


"Sure, Miss!"


"Peanut! I miss you so much, my baby!" My golden baby wagged his tail and barked when he saw me entering the unit.


Ngumiti naman yung helper na nagbabantay kay Peanut pag wala kaming dalawa ni Max.


I tried to argue with Max when he said that he will hire a helper for the dog. He reasoned out that the helper will also clean the unit and cook for him... or for the both of us.



Hindi na ako nakipagtalo pa at hinayaan na lang sa gusto niya.


"Good afternoon po." Magalang kong bati sa helper.


"Good afternoon, Ma'am. Gusto niyo pong kumain? Nakapagluto po ako kanina." Alok ni Ate Cecile.


"Naku! Okay lang po ako. Nakakain na ako bago pumunta dito. Kamusta po si Peanut? Yung check up po?" Tanong ko habang karga karga ang alaga.


Peanut is kinda clingy whenever he's with me. Kahit si Max ang bumili sa kanya ay mas gusto niya pa ring nakasiksik sa akin. That's not a problem for me.



"Okay naman po. Healthy siya sa ganyang buwan. Naka-schedule na po pala yung vaccine niya next week."



"Oooh. Sige. Balitaan niyo na lang ako, Ate. Pero sana wala akong gagawin nun para makasama ako." Naglakad naman ako papunta sa couch at naupo.



Hindi naman naglikot ang alaga ko ata kuntento na siyang nakahiga sa lap ko. My sweet boy.



"Si Max? Nakauwi na po ba?"



Umiling naman si Ate Cecile. "Wala pa po, Ma'am. Baka extended na naman ang stay niya sa ibang bansa."



I nodded my head and smiled at her. "Okay na, Ate. Magpahinga na po kayo. Ako na po muna bahala kay Peanut. Tawagin ko na lang po kayo pag pauwi na ako."
