HE'S INTO HER Season 1

CHAPTER 48

"Ha?"

"Hindi mo kailangang mag-English maghapon. Kung sa tingin mo mas maipapaliwanag mo sa Tagalog. Sige lang."

"Okay lang kaya yun? Hindi kaya ako pagtawanan noon?"

"Kelan pa naging katatawanan ang pananalita ng Tagalog? Hindi ka nag-iisa okay? Just relax, kasama mo ako."

"O-Oo. Sige sige."

"At please, tignan mo sila sa mata."

"Okay. "

Hindi ko na siya pinansin at nakangiting humarap na ulit sa lahat. Narinig ko pang nagbuntong hininga si Deib.

"Thanks for waiting. Mr. Enrile right here will be explaining to you some of the reasons of Bullying." at ngumiti ako sa kanya.

"Thank you. *ehem* One of the reasons why do people bully is that, they are also a victim of bullying. According to research, some of the reasons are; Social issues, Family issues, having Power, Bully's personal history and Provocative victims." huminga siya ng malalim at humarap sa lahat. "Why social issues? The fact that one gets more social recognition for negative behaviors than for positive ones can also contribute to reasons why people bully. Situation comedies and reality television, as well as real life situations in schools, for example, show that acting out is more likely to get noticed than behaving oneself civilly and courteously. Jealousy or envy and a lack of personal and social skills to deal with such feelings can also be reasons why people bully."

At nagtuloy tuloy pa siya sa pagpapaliwanag niya.

"While having power according to some research indicates that the very fact of having power may make some people wish to wield it in a noticeable way, but it is also true that people may be given power without being trained in the leadership skills that will help them wield it wisely. Either situation can contribute to why people bully others."

Tumakbo pa ang mga oras at nagpalitan kami ni Deib sa pagsasalita sa harapan. Maayos naming naideliver ang mga importanteng topics at nasasagot rin namin ang mga tanong nila. Tinitignan ko ang mga Co-Stockholders ng Lolo niya at halos lahat sila ay nakangiti at napapangiti habang pinapanood syang magsalita. Nakaramdam naman ako ng tuwa dahil sineryoso niya ang sinabi ko.

Maya maya pa ay nagtanong ulit ang isa sa kanila.

"If you were to choose between being a bully or a target, what would you be?"

'Awkward!'

"I'm the target." natatawang sagot ko.

"Why?"

"Dahil mas gugustohin ko ho'ng magpa-api kesa mang-api.." natatawang sagot ko.

"And?"

"Yun lang ho."

"O-Okay. And how about you Deib?"

"I'm the bully.." nahihiyang sagot niya.

"Interesting, and why?"

"Because I really am the bully."

"Pardon me?"

"I am the bully and she's my target. That's how we met."

"And this presentation ends your altercation?" nakangising tanong ni Mr. Sullivan.
