Nasa loob ako ng classroom namin sa law school while we were waiting for the next discussion. Kakalabas ng isa naming professor and it was such a drag dahil nagagalit siya ng walang dahilan. May tumawa lang kanina sa bandang likod, nagalit na agad siya saying things about how lawyers don't get carried away by emotions kaya they shouldn't laugh in his class.
I sighed, tapos ay binuksan yung isang book na dala dala ko dito. Antagal naman kasing dumating nung professor, e siya nga yung pinakahinihintay namin dahil yung subject niya ang pinakamabangis. Biglaang cold call yun, tapos madalas pa ay hindi alphabetical kaya dapat lagi ka talagang handa kapag nasa class niya. No daydreaming, no sleeping.
"Chienne," tawag nun nakaupo sa likod ko, and I turned around to face her. It was Jane, yung kaibigan ko na tinatamad na sa Law.
"Oh, Jane? Bakit?" tanong ko, and she sighed.
"You look like may pinag iisipan kang malalim, pwede ko bang malaman kung ano yun?" tanong niya, and I smiled softly at her.
"Wala to, inaantok lang talaga ako," sabi ko and she nodded, pero mukhang may doubt pa din siya.
Humarap naman na ako sa white board, pero wala pa din naman yung professor.
Binabagabag kasi ako ng mga kaganapan kagabi. Who on earth is that Jun Gold? Why do I feel like he is hiding something and it is important kahit na hindi pa kami masyadong nagkakakilala? I groaned, tapos ay hinila ang buhok ko because of frustration.
Biglaan naman na bumukas yung pinto ng classroom kaya ay napastraight body kaming lahat at tumingin na kay Professor Willa. Professor Willa is an attorney, and she is a good one at that. Lahat ng cases niya ever since she graduated ay napapanalo niya, and I know that every single one of us are striving to be the next Attorney Willa.
"Good morning, and I'm sorry for coming in late because I never do. I handled a case earlier in the morning because may bago akong importanteng client. I just had to. And you, Miss Kim, stay focused. If you're already frustrated you can leave the class but you are one of the bests, so just stay focused. You hear me?" sabi niya, and I slowly nodded.
God, umagang umaga palang napahiya nanaman ako. I don't usually get shamed by professors, but ewan ko ba kung anong ginawa ko ngayon. Nawawala ako sa focus. Nag-umpisa na siya sa pagtuturo kaya naman ay nakinig na akong mabuti.
She was uttering words that I write down on my notes as soon as she said them, kaya ay medyo nawawala naman sa isipan ko yung mga pinaggagawa ni Jun Gold or however he wants to be called.
"Ms Kim. If you were to choose a case to handle, anong gusto mo?" Sabi ni Professor Willa ng biglaan kaya naman ay nataranta ako at agad na napatayo.
"A criminal case, Professor Willa. I want to handle a criminal case, specifically a suspect's. I want to prove that the suspect is innocent, in some ways unexpected by people. Just like how you do, professor." Sabi ko, and she nodded.
Normally ay wala naman siyang clear na facial expressions, but she was nodding kaya naman ay I was satisfied. Maybe she was satisfied with my answers, too.
"Nice job there. But you have to tell me what is bothering you. I know there's something wrong," sabi ni Jane, leaning towards my chair, and I slowly nodded. Wala naman akong takas.
Nasa cafe kami ng university ngayon and kumakain ng cake and coffee habang pinag uusapan yung mga subjects na tinetake namin. Bigla naman na nagsalita na si Jane kaya ay alam ko na kung anong gusto niyang malaman.
