If you are now my partner then yes, I'm already your friend.I'm on my right mind when i hit the send button around 2:00am .Ansel manage to penetrate my mind until that time...and yes,really ,I'm on my right mind.This time i know it was right.We are partners therefore we can be friends.Bahagi pa'rin ako ng Aldridge sa ngayon pero hindi ibig sabihin na gagaya ako sa kanila na halos walang matinong kaibigan.Kagaya ng palaging ginagawa ni Ada ,na naulit na rin kagabi,nagpahintay siya sa'kin sa pagbaba.Maaga naman kami ngayon kahit na hindi na namin kailangan pang makipag agawan sa ulam sa dining."Uuwi kaming probinsya sa susunod na Linggo para sa Undas"she informed me .Ilang araw na naman na walang pasok , pagkatapos nito ,magpapasko ,bagong taon tapos , magbi-birthday na ako.Ang bilis naman."Mag-iingat kayo"bilin ko na kaagad niyang tinanguan.Halos taon taon naman ganito ang sinasabi ni Ada sa'kin.Ganito lang din ang palagi naming usapan. Maybe ,next year ,it wouldn't be this way,per
Sinubukan ko namang pagtuunan ng pansin ang bawat lesson na itinuturo ng teacher pero hindi ko alam kung bakit sa bawat paling ng teacher sa harap ko ,naaalala ko ang mukha ni Ansel.I found myself drifting from the way his lips was put in a sudden thin line ,his eyes no longer held the tiny wrinkles because of the tug on his lips,and the way the happiness gets off of his face just to be replace of a void one.Kinakailangan ko pang kurutin ang sarili ko sa ilalim ng armchair para lang tuluyang mahila ang utak ko sa nangyayari sa harap.When i tilted my head to see what's outside ,my classmate's glasses flickered the light towards me and i was then ,again ,reminded of Ansel's face.God!My whole body is against it.Nararamdaman ko pa rin ang pakiramdam ko ng makita ko ang mukha niya at hindi ko 'yon nagugustuhan.That was the first time he ever show that kind of face to me . He's usually smiling or frowning ,but never like that kaya siguro bigla na lang tumatak sa utak ko ang ekspresyon niyan
'Aalis din siya mamaya kaya dapat mas maaga kang pumunta kung gusto mo nga siyang makausap'Naririnig ko ang sarkastikong tono ng boses nya kahit dito.I slide my phone inside my pocket as i slide my notes inside my bag.Isa pang subject bago ang lunch pero dahil sa sinabi ng mayordoma ay bigla na lang gusto ko na lang din na ipagpaliban ang klase. May pagkakataon na ako,nandito narin si Ansel baka mamaya matagalan pa kung palalampasin ko pa 'to. Gusto ko sanang sabihan ang Mayordoma na ipahintay ako but i don't wanna push it that far.Hindi ko pa nga alam ang dahilan kung bakit niya ako iniinform tungkol kay Clinton Aldridge tapos pakikiusapan ko pa siya para sa ibang bagay.As usual kailangan naming lumipat ng room para sa next subject.Paglabas ko sa room ay bumulusok sa'kin ang init ng tanghali.I glance back at the room,how i wish kasama ang hallway sa may aircon para hindi ganito.I face the direction where the stairs through the second floor is located pero napansin ko si Ansel na n
I thought of my Dad,if he's ever real.Asking him to do a DNA test is such a bad thing to do for a child but I just wanted to get off the image Maggie brought into my head.And if he really is?And then?He never cared for me.He let's Maggie go to my School.He let's Maggie to do all the job both parents should be doing but then Maggie didn't even do her part.Nasa elementary pa lang ako hindi na ginugusto ni Maggie na makipaglapit sa akin.She always shut me down that I have grown of being fond with it kahit na gusto kong makilala kung paano ba mag-alaga ang isang pamilya.I envy Ada for it,her mother is a very affectionate woman.She sits where Ada sits during meetings ,She wanted to befriend me because she wanted to know who's Ada's friend.She takes care of her and never pressure her.While me ,I carry my own expectations that if Maggie become contented or have grown tired by the way she treats me ,she will begin to see what I am doing ,my achievements,how I became loving to her despite how
"What?!"naialis ko ang braso ko sa pagkakahawak ni Ansel.I look at him with wide eyes and step away.Bumagsak ako sa couch habang pinapanood siyang umiiwas ng tingin sakin.I tried to catch my breath as another killer thought rush through my brains.He rejected a what?!An arrange marriage?!An arrange marriage!Arrange.Marriage!With me?!Is it with me?!It's me!It is ME! Ohmygod!HE. REJECTED. ME!I feel I like throwing up any minute .Tinakpan ko ang bibig ko at napahawak na din sa noo.Napatawa ako ng mahina dahil hindi ako makapaniwala.I was actually thinking about the issue.My issue.And then another thing surfaces and then piled up into it. When did this happen?Did Maggie know this?She insinuate that they have something before right?And then she ask me if I'll marry Ansel?yeah?Yeah!Jesus!Umiling ako at napasinghap.Someone came into my side and I heard Ansel now calling someone on his phone."Calm down Caza!"hinawakan niya ako sa kamay at pilit na pinapasandal .Sumunod ako and i slowly let
My nerves should be wrecking me right now.Dapat ngayon mas lalo na akong kinakabahan dahil sa layo ng tinakbo ng pananahimik niya pero hindi 'yon ang nararamdaman ko ,sa halip ,nawala ang nakadagan sa dibdib ko.Unti-unting nagiging normal ang tibok ng puso ko.My mind was suddenly peaceful and I am calm.It made me calm that it amazes me.I can't hear anything inside the room ,I should be nervous !But NO!It isn't!If this is how it feels to let out things on my mind I will gladly do."Caza"mahinang sinabi 'yon ni Ansel sa tabi ko.Nilingon ko siya sandali at napansin ang kaunting paggalaw ni Sir Clinton.Dineretso niya sa'kin ang paningin niya na kanina ay nasa mga papel sa lamesa."Where did you get all of your ideas Azazel?"he ask."Is this what Maggie told you?!!"dumagundong ang lakas ng sigaw niya sa loob.Umiling ako ."This is my own idea.I want to live far from here"he clearly disagree ,like I am only talking nonsense infront of him.He laugh without a humor."You are my daughter .You

How will you live outside?I don't think it was that hard? Didn't it?As long i can get my freedom ,i don't think it will be as bad as he thought .I will be fine,yes,I will be fine.Tahimik ang pag-uwi namin sa dorm.Ubos ang lakas ko sa pakikipag-usap kay Sir Clinton.I would admit now,that he has a point ,somehow ,at the back of my mind I know i am still looking for a way to survive out there but I can't just tell him that I don't have a proper plan about it lalo na at pinakita kong gustong gusto ko ang kumawala sa kanila.Sandali kong itinuon ang pakiramdam ko sa nasa malayong katabi ko ,si Ansel sa tabi lang din ng bintana.Kanina pa rin siya tahimik at nakatingin lang sa labas.I know I shouldn't entertain it but it is showing that perhaps he's not really agreeing with me.Of course ,if Sir Clinton find it nonsense ,maybe he is too.Hindi ko sinubukang kuhanin ang pansin niya hanggang sa makita ko ang pagpaling ng kotse papasok sa mismong School doon ko piniling tignan at tawagin si Ans
