EARNESTI'S POV.
Tuesday...
Madali lang lumipas ang araw at ngayon ay tuesday na, ang araw kung saan magaganap yung bunga ng praktis namin nung sabado
“Bigla akong kinakabahan!” -Jeda
“Ako rin!” -Cori
“Can ya'll stop saying your nervous?It leads to a domino effect ya' know?which will lead a mess unto our performance” mahinahon kong sabi
“What a wonderful performance group 2!” ani ng mc namin KUNO
By the eay sa classroom lang kami nagpeperform sinide lnag namin yung chairs tapos sa gitnang space kami sasayaw
Pagkaalis ng group 2 ay kami na susunod, and did i forgot to mention na katabi or so-called-partner ko sa sayaw ay si South?-3- oo si south!
Kase naman kahapon nakaisip daw ng MAGANDANG ideya si Cori -3- mas maganda daw na by partner kase total sexy hiphop naman daw kaya ayun
Ako at si South
Si Jeda at Keishima
Si Cori at Kishima
tapos si nei at seo naman nagmumukhang back up dancers
Nagsimula na kaming sumayaw pagkaplay ng music namin, madami akong naririnig na cheer saamin pero mostly kay south lang
«After perfomance»
Todong palapak yung mga kaklase namin, at nagbow naman kami at umalis sa gitna
Sobrang saya ko kase the performance went well, nagperform na rin yung next group
Pagkatapos magperform ng last group ay pinabali kna yung upuqn namin at nagdiscuss ng kaunti yung prof namin

“Dismissed” sabi ng prof namin tapos lumabas, and last sub namin ang PE ngayon so dismissal na talaga
“That was awesome!” sabi ni seo
“Oo nga!Maybe we should join some contest or something” -Jeda
“Not gonna happen” pailing-iling kong sabi sabay arrange ng gamit ko
“Kj!” -Sila except ni south na ngayoy kumakain na naman ng bilog na ube
Napatawa nalang ako sakanila
“Hey, may pupuntahan ba kayo?” -Neo
“Uuwi” tipid kong sabi at sinuot na yung isang strap ng backpack ko
“How bout' you guys?” -neo
“Uuwi nalang din ciguro?” -Cori at ang Kambal
“No fun!” nakangusobg sabi ni Jeda “Lets go to the bar!”
“Kayo lang” -ako
“Naaahh!!Whyy!?” pagmamaktol ni Jeda
“Well you see, Earni isn't that type of girl, Hindi sya mahilig sa mga ganyan²” sabi ni Cori at inakbayan ako
“You should atleast Earni” nakanguso ulit sabi ni Jeda
“Minors aren't allowed” -Ako
“My parents own a bar, so pwede lang and we can stay at the VIP room” -Jeda
“Still a no for me” -Ako
“Well..Uhm South also goes to bar too!” -Jeda
“And?” -Ako
“And...You should too!Para kompleto tayo” -Jeda
“Ayoko pa rin” -Ako
“*Chuckles* Nakuh Jeda, kahit anong gagawin mo, pag ayaw ni Earni, ayaw talaga” -Cori
“Once a Chavalier says no, it wont change” -Kishima and Keishima
“Amp!” nakapout na sabi ni Jeda with matching puppy pleading eyes “Cori?Kambal?Atleast kayo, sumama kayo”
“Sige ba!Basta libre mo!” sabi ng tatlo
Tumayo naman ako at humarap sa tatlo “Wag magpagabi, be home before 9:30 kundi wala na talagang Earni na kakausap sainyo” sabi ko sabay talikod “Babosh!” papalabas na sana ako ng classroom ng tinawag ako ng kambal
“Hatid ka na namin!”
“Im fine alone” sabi ko at tuloyan ng umalis
Pagkalabas ko ng school, ay hindi ko pa feel na umuwi, alas singko pa ata ng hapon, and im sure na wala pa si Mama at Loraine sa bahay mamayang alas syete pa yun dadating
Kaya punta muna ako sa pinakamalapit na mall dito sa skwelahan, agad naman akong pumara ng jeep at sumakay na rito
Ilang minuto pq ang byahe at nakarating na ako sa mall, nung inabot ko na yung bayad ko ay i got this creepy feeling that someone is watching me, i shook my thoughts off kase baka guni guni ko lang yun, nagbayad na at bumaba
Pagkapasok ko sa mall ay agad kaong nagtungo sa NBS, ayokong magstop sa mga ibang shops dito, baka maubos ag pera ko T.T pang 1 week allowance pa naman to
As i went inside NBS, lumapit ako kaagad sa aisle 7---Which is kung saan naroroon yung mga wattpad books
“Aish!Nasaan naba yun?” bulong ko sa sarili
Im currently looking for He's Into Her, Season 3 by ate Maxinejiji, My sister really loves that story and the author as well to the point na lahat na story ni ate max nabiki na nya, except nga lang sa Season 3 ng HIH, and since im kinda in a good mood so im going to buy her one
“Daddy!Can we buy this one!”
“Oh!Eto lang pala!” Sabi ko tapos kinuha yung libro na nasa pinakadulo ng shelf at tinignan yung buong libro “Ang ganda talaga” dagdag ko
“Sure baby!Gusto mo pati yung sofia the first?”
When i heard the voice, I froze at mahigpit na humawak sa libro
“Really daddy!?” a voice of a young girl said
“Ofcourse!” a guy i think nasa 40's? said, nagbabase kase ako sa boses
“WAAHHH!I LOVE YOU DADDY!!”
“*Chuckles* I love you too baby”
I heard the girl giggled, hindi ako makapaniwala, Im curious, Curious ako kung sya ba ang may ari ng boses na yun, Gusto kong makita kung sino, kase baka nagkakamali lang ako
I walk slowly away from aisle 7
“Daddy, can we go to jabi after here?”
“Oo naman!Anything for my little princess”
“Yehey!”
Isang hakbang nalang ay makikita ko na kung sino ang nagmamay ari ng boses na yun--Kaso kinakabahan ako
I inhaled and exhaled a lot of times bago tumingin sa aisle 8---A bitter smile formed upon my lips, holds the HIH book tightly trying my best to hold back my tears
Seeing him smile, makes me smile too!Pero alam niyo yung masakit nun?Yung hindi na ikaw ang dahilan ng ngiting yun
“Tara na daddy!Lets pay for this”
“Sure baby---E-earni!?”
I snapped back to reality when i saw the both of them facing at me, with the little girls confused expression and his shock expression
“You knwo her dad?” the little girl asked as she points a finger at me
Bigla naman akong nataranta, ng dahil sa katangahan ko naglakad ako papuntang right kung saan may shelf kaya ang kalabasan na untog yung noo ko
*Boogsshh*
“Ay kabayo ilaga kabaw!” daing ko at napahawak sa noo
Ang Bobo mo Earni!Bobo!Nakakahiya!Sana d mo nalang tinignan!Bobo!Bobo!Bobo!Wala ka ng paek sakanya diba!?HUHU MGA LIBRO LAMUNIN MO NA AKO!
“H-hey are you okay?” he was about to come near me ng may dumating na babae
“Hon hindi ka pa ba tapos?” sabi nung babaeng nasa mid 40's na din at ubod ng ganda
“A-ah yeah!Magbabayad na nga kami eh” he said
“Good” the lady said, i wish i was fast as flash so that she wouldnt notice me, but its too late now “Wow!What a nice reunion!” she sarcastically added
“Ires!” suway ng lalaki
“Why justin?Isn't thus nice?A father and daughter reunion?*clap!clap!clap!* At correction, anak pala sa kabit” nakangising sabi ng babae
I tried to compose myself and refraining from talking back, kaya nakayuko nalang ako habang mahigpit na nakahawak sa lubrong dala ko
“Ires thats enough!” suway ni DAD, oo tatay ko *smiles bitterly*, tatay kong may iba ng pamilya
“Why?Totoo namang anak sya ng KABIT mong ubod ng DIFFICULT!”
“Tama na kase--What the---Anong difficult!?”
“Poor!Duh!Tapos mga dead hungry pa!Yucks!”
“Kabit?Difficult?Dead hungry?Let me guess hanggang grade 1 ka lang ba?You're pretty mdm, but you're too stupid. Wala ka bang magawa sa buhay mo?Kundi magiging kontrabida?Nakuh!Mdm!Wag kang ganyan!Baka matakot si satanas na papasukin ka sa imoyerno!Baka kase ikaw ang papalit sa kanyang pwesto”
O.O
>.<
O.O
Gulat naman akong napaangat ng may umakbay sakin, napatingin naman ako kung sino to at---TELL ME IM DREAMING!
“How dare you talk to me like that!?” nanlikinsik matang sabi ni tita Ires
“Shouldn't Earni be the one to say that?” bored niyang sabi
“Sino kaba at nakisasae ka ha!?” galit na sabi ni Ires
“Im South” he boredly introduced “Tara na nga Earni!” dagdag niya pa at tumalikod na kami, akala ko sa pagtalikod ay aalis n akami pero humirit pa sya saglit “By the way, Im Earni's compass”
After that scene, we went to the cashier para magbayad, I was still in the state of shock
P-pano ba sya napunta dito?How?
“Earni!” napabalik naman ako sa realidadnung tinawag ako ni South, turn na pala namin, aakmang eaabot ko na yung bayad ng pinigilan ako ni South “Dummy!Kanina ka pa nakatayo dyan!Its the person na nasa likod mo ang turn para magbayad”
“E-eh?Hindi pa ako nakapagbaya--”
He showed me a plastic bag na may nakatatak na NBS “I paid it for you, kaya tara na” sabi niya tapos hinila palabas
>.< sa sobrang lutang ko, d ko na tuloy masyadong namalayan yung nangyayati sa paligid, we stopped walking sa maliit na park dito sa labas ng mall and sat below a big tree
South puts both of his hands in the back of his head then leans back to the trunk of the tree
“A-ano, thank you” sabi ko habang nakatingin sa gilid
“Why didnt you defend yourself?” he calmly asked
“Totoo naman yung sinabi niya” nakayuko kong sabi
“Whatever” -South
I need to repay him sa pagbayad ng libro kanina, agad naman kaong kumuha ng pera at aakmang eaabot sakanya ng nagsalita sya
“I dont take other peoples money, this is nothing special, You seemed like you needed help so whatever” aniya at umayos ng upo tapos ngayon ko lang namalayan na may dala pala syang brown na paper bag
May kinuha sya so loob nun at----O.O--- -.- --- bilig na naman na ube, at kinain yun
Tahimik lang akong nakatingin sakanya, habang sya naman ay kumakain
“You're werid” biglang sabi ko
He stopped and look at me “Why?”
“Why all of a sudden helping me?--Teka why are you here in the first place?Diba pupunta kayo ng Bar nina Jeda?”
He just shrugged and continue eating
mahabang katahimikan bago niya natapos yung kinakain niya sabay tigngin sakin
“*Chuckels*Maybe I am weird”
