Pumasok ako sa malamig na office saka dire-diretsong naupo sa swivel chair kung saan dapat mauupo ang Dean.
Iritang-irita na natawag pa ako na magreport for counselling kahit ang orihinal na balak ko ay umuwi at ipagamot kay Yaya Mareng yung balikat ko. That's why I can't help the bitchiness that was centered on the poor Dean the moment that I entered the perimeter.
Humalakhak ako nung makitang halos matulig siya sa kanyang kinatatayuan noong makita ako na umukupa sa pwesto niya. He stood afar off like he doesn't know if he'll tell me to get off his chair or nah. And if my shoulder is not killing me, I would have flipped him the bird too. Ganoon na ako kabadtrip ngayon.
But damn, it hurts so bad. Parang gusto ko na lang na mawalan ng malay sa mismong kinauupuan ko. I don't even have the energy to stick to my angry vibe. I just want to get this over with so that I can go home and nurse my pain.
A door inside the room opened at sabay-sabay na lumipad ang paningin namin sa matanda na naglalakad papunta sa kung saan ako nakaupo.
I know what's coming at wala pa man, it's already making me weary. Damn weary. Nakakapagod. I know this won't even do any good. All these are just superficial shit. Walang kwentang pag-uusap.
Lumapit si Lolo saka naupo sa harapan ko. Ikinawit niya ang kanyang binti sa kabila upang makapangdekwatro ng pambabae saka humalukipkip at tinitigan ako.
His mouth opened for the introduction of his speech. I groaned inwardly.
"I heard you got into not one, but two fights Lumierre Helene.." intrada ng matandang hukluban na amoy lupa. Lalo akong nabadtrip noong muling maalala ang dahilan kung bakit may dinaramdam akong sakit sa aking balikat ngayon.
Again, I felt anger coat my heart.
"Fuck that o'l shit." Walang habas kong saad kahit na nasa harapan ako ng dalawang pinakamakapangyarihang tao sa paaralan namin.
"What did you say!?" Tumaas ang tono ng pananalita ni Lolo, na minsan lang mangyari kaya medyo napatiklop ako, bahagya ring kinabahan.
Lumunok ako. "Pag sure oy, awit.. sabi ko." I muttered below my breath.
For a blessed moment, not one of us said a word. Nanatili kaming tahimik at nagpapakiramdaman. I know he heard me the first time but he didn't call on the lie. Hinayaan niya lang ako kagaya ng madalas niyang gawin.
He sighed dejectedly and leaned a little forward to whisper at me. Tinitigan niya muli ang aking mukha pero nilabanan ko iyon gamit ang matalim na tingin, ayaw rin magpatalo.
"Do you have a problem at home?" He asked out of nowhere. Like, literally fucking nowhere.
"H-huh?" Muntik na akong mahulog sa swivel chair na kinauupuan ko kung hindi ko lang naitukod ang nanghihina kong hita sa semento.
To say that I was shocked with his words is an understatement. My mouth dropped open and for sometime, I was left momentarily frozen. Mabuti na lang talaga at muling bumalik ang katinuan ko kaya ko napagtanto ang nais niyang mangyari.
He wants to show the world that he cares, when in fact he doesn't. Kasi nga ay nasa harapan kami ng Dean at ng secretary nito. Tss.
Bumalik ang bakal sa puso ko at hindi na iyon hinayaan na muling lumambot pa.
Instead of showing him how shocked I was with his words, I decided to show him my smirk.
"Wala kang clue or wala ka lang talagang pakialam?" I asked him point blank. Home is a touchy topic for me at alam yun ni Lolo. I don't really talk about anything related to my parents or our family lalo kung may mga tao sa paligid na wala namang karapatang makarinig ng kahit ano about dun.
