After Dark (Hacienda De Bel Series #1)

Chapter 5

Freedom

Nag mamadali na ang mga estudyante magsipasok sa kanilang silid dahil tumunog na ang bell, pagliko na ako para papasok sa aking silid,  Pangatlong taon ko na sa kolehiyo kaya di na tulad ng highschool na magkaklase kami ni Lucy. Bachelor of Law ang aking kinuha dahil gusto ko maging isa sa mga mambabatas , at si Lucy naman ay Architect BS Architecture. Kaya malabo na maging magkaklase kami.

Umupo na ako at tiyempo naman ang pag dating ng aming Prof.

"Goodmorning class" pormal at seryong bati ng Prof

"Goodmorning Sir" bati namin

"Get ready for our lesson future attorneys it's all about Education, Family, and Children's Rights." Panimula ng Prof Lopez

Kumuha ako ng aking papel at ballpen para may mapagsulatan sa aming lesson.

"Miss Montreal can you explain our topic?" Sometimes being in a College Level is suck, you don't have to raise your hands to state your answers kung 'di tatawag sila agad at wala ka ng magagawa kundi sumagot nalang. Tumayo ako at para e-explain ang lesson namin.

"Goodmorning everyone" panimula ko to give respect

"Education, Family, and Children's Rights is all about the child-rights approach to education incorporates teaching and learning practices that exemplify human rights principles, such as equality, fairness, non-discrimination and respect. Having an identity is a fundamental human right which allows each child or young people the ability to enjoy all of their rights in all the good way. But knowing 21st century, the voices of young people cannot be heard anymore, there's no freedom for them to speak and express themselves. No rights at all sir."

"How can you say that there is no rights for young people like you Miss Montreal to express their feelings?" Daragdagan niyang tanong

"Simply, because of our age. The right to free speech belongs to the children and youth too. Politicians, Government officials, Parents, and others who set the limits on free speech of young people. Bases on Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." Sagot ko sakanya

Sa isyung ito, mga ibang matatanda ay mababa ang tingin sa mga kabataan, na para bang kung sino sila at ang taas ng tingin sa sarili. Tapos na nilang pag daanan ang pinagdadaanan pa lang ng kabataan ngayon pero mas pinili nilang ikumpara ang sarili nila sa mga katulad kong mamamayan.

"okay, well done, you may be seated again Miss Montreal. Thank you so much" at agad naman ako umupo.

"Young people should fight for themselves, ani nga ni Dr. Jose 'kabataan ang pagasa ng bayan' but not all of you"huminto muna ang Prof bago magpatuloy "deserve to be heard by the Leaders and others, iba na din ang kabataan ngayon sa noon" ani niya at nagturo na ulit ng kanyang lesson.

Bukod don tinalakay din ng Prof ang "Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act" . Ang krimen na ito ay pinaparusahan dahil ang nagpapakita ng pang-aabuso ay may intensiyon na magdulot ng takot sa mga miyembro ng pamilya at mag-aalinlangan ang sinumang may plano na sumalungat sa kagustuhan ng nanakit. Many people, specifically women are not aware about the law on the protection of their rights against violence. Thus, because of unawareness, spousal violence remains.

Hindi boring ang course na ito law students do like to exaggerate the difficulty and the volume of work. They put way more facts and issues on the test than any human could tackle in the appointed time. pero naka dedepress at stress ang course na ito para sa ibang estudyante.

Tapos na ang klase ko, we only have 2 subjects every monday, nag desisyon akong pumunta sa canteen para kumain, habang nag lalakad ako narinig ko ang boses lalaki na tumatawag sakin

"Cali" si anderson, tumalikod ako at tiningnan lamang siya.

" I didn't know Miss Montreal is good at debating huh." Saad niya

"Thanks" sabay talikod ko at naglakad patungong canteen

"What do you want? My treat." Anong akala mo sakin? Walang pera?

"Sorry, but i have my own money to treat my own self" matigas kong sabi.

"I know, it's just that I'll treat you"

"For?" Tanong ko " maybe next time?"
Agad kong dagdag, bumili ako ng fruit tea to freshen up.

"Aren't you tired? Nakakabaliw ang mag law" ano bang nakakabaliw don?

"Walang madali Anderson, every course will make you sacrifice." Sabi ko habang iniinom ang aking tea

"Tama naman, pero mas mahirap ung kinuha mo." Saad niya

"Ugh" I rolled my eyes, tapatawa nalang siya ng mahina, ano ba ang gusto ng isang to? Puro madali?

"I gotta go" sabi ko at baka nag aantay na sakin ang aming driver

"Hatid na kita sa sasakyan niyo" sabay tayo niya

"Uh hindi na kailangan" sabi ko at tumalikod na para wala na siyang magawa

"Take care then" sigaw niya
