Kung sinong makakasagot ng tama sa mga ipapakita kong Math flashcards ay may limang stars kay Teacher. At kung sino naman ang unang makakasagot ay bibigyan ko ng... chocolate!”
I rolled my eyes when my classmates raised their hands and cheered in excitement. Hindi pa man nagsisimula ay gusto na agad nilang sumagot, they look so eager but do they know how to answer? I don’t think so. Even me, I don’t like that subject so they’re probably just after the chocolate. Imbes na makigulo ay nanatili lang akong nakaupo. It’s not like I don’t want to participate, I just don’t want to waste my energy standing there in front. Maiinis lang ako kapag nasanggi ako ro’n ng makukulit kong mga kaklase. My mother once told me that teachers like well-behaved kids and that’s why I’m behaving right now. I’m behaving because I want her to choose me. Ayoko ng premyo ngunit gusto kong ako ang makasagot sa unang flashcard na ipapakita ni Teacher.When the game started, the first flashcard was pretty hard and no one got the correct answer. The next one is three plus four, I counted fast with my fingers and the answer is seven! I raised my right hand as high as I could, expecting she’d choose me but… she didn’t. Teacher ignored me. She was busy paying attention to my noisy, sweet-toothed, and dumb classmates. Sino bang makasasagot nang tama sa kanila kung hindi naman talaga nila alam ang sagot at gusto lang mabigyan ng chocolate?“Okay! Aven, what’s the correct answer?” The teacher asked sweetly to the boy who has thick brows and is always filthy. He’s also the most chaotic and naughty among us, so why did she choose him? Akala ko ba mahilig ang mga teachers sa mababait at well-behaved na mga bata? That kid was far from that!“Seven po!” The boy snickered. Dumapo na kaagad ang mga mata nito sa teacher’s table at mukhang hinahanap na ang kaniyang premyo.Simangot akong humalukipkip. Nawalan na ako ng ganang mag-participate dahil sa nangyari. Yes, I get it, he got the correct answer. Pero bakit hindi na lang ako? Alam ko rin naman ang tamang sagot, and aside from that, I behaved. I believe that’s a good reason for Teacher to choose me! Ako dapat ‘yon!My tears started to peek out of my eyes, kaya naman sinunod ko ‘to ng pagpunas gamit ang mga palad ko. Why am I crying? I don’t have to cry. I shouldn’t be crying. Abala ako sa pagpupunas ng luha ko at hindi ko napansin na nakalapit na pala sa akin ang batang lalaki na nakasagot sa unang flashcard. Ilang beses pa itong kumurap bago magsalita.“Bakit ka umiiyak?”Hindi ako sumagot at tiningnan lang siya nang masama ngunit hindi niya ‘ata makuhang ayaw ko siyang kausap. Tinitigan niya pa ako nang matagal bago lumingon sa harap kung nasaan ang guro at ang iba pa naming mga kaklase. Then he pointed a finger at me and shouted, “Teacher, umiiyak po siya!”Napatigil ako sa pag-iyak dahil sa gulat. Huli na nang maisipan kong tumanggi dahil mabilis na na-alarma ang guro namin at agad na lumapit sa amin. Teacher asked me what’s wrong or kung may masakit ba raw sa akin but I refused to say a word. Umiling lang ako ng umiling, denying that I cried kahit na panay pa rin ang pagtulo ng luha ko. “Gusto mo ba ng chocolate?” tanong pa ng batang sumbungero. He’s looking at me like he didn’t do anything. Mukhang proud pa siya sa sarili niya na naisumbong niya kay Teacher na umiiyak ako! He smiled slightly as he played with his fingers.“Huwag ka nang umiyak—” As he peeked on my name tag. “...Cindy. Sige, sa ‘yo na lang ‘yong chocolate ko.”“Teacher, sa kaniya na lang po ‘yong chocolate ko. Okay lang naman po sa akin, hindi naman po ako iiyak, e. Bibili na lang po kami ni Mama mamaya.”With that, the teacher once again complimented him for being such a considerate and generous boy. What does he mean by ‘hindi naman po ako iiyak’? That I am just a stupid sweet-toothed kid?! That my tears are shallow?! If I know, nagpapakitang-gilas lang naman siya. He’s fond of compliments, huh? Psh, what a loser.And that was the first time I ever hated someone. Simula noong araw na ‘yon, hindi na siya nawala sa paningin ko. Kahit saan man ako magpunta, nakikita at nakakasama ko siya. It’s my worst nightmare—Oh, let me rephrase that. He was my worst nightmare.BORNOEMIRATE COUNCIL."Ha, you are definitely pregnant with twins and bet me!" Maysoon grinned extra widely staring at Suhayr who could only narrow her eyes in annoyance at her little cousin sister."Why do you want me to be pregnant with twins and where the heck did you get that philosophy from?" Suhayr glared at her simply irritated because of so many reasons standing right in front of her that she didn't want to believe.Who would've thought she was going to fall pregnant when her son just clocked two years old?Thank goodness Sa'eed was joking when he gave her the tickets to Mauritius a year ago and simply whispered they are going to make babies. Had that happened, she was sure she would've killed Sa'eed with her bare hands then bury him underneath a hill
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.Two years later.A bright smile lured it's way to her face, the sun beaming down on her face feeling a sense of accomplishment. She's been waiting for this day since forever and now that it is finally here, she can't wait to get it over and done with. She's written what she wanted to say so many days ago and now, she feels like a teenager presenting again in front of the whole class not that someone like her has ever been intimidated by anyone. Two years is a long time to change someone, she has also changed too like every other person out there. She feels emotions now, so many of them."Are you ready?" The love of her life questioned, his arms looping around her waist as he place his head on her shoulder."More than ready. I just want to get this done and over with. Where is that troublemaker?" She inquires about their one year old son who could ruin the room without as much as losing a tinge of energy reserved for the day. She is su
ABDEEN PALACE, EGYPT."What is the commotion all about?" Suhayr ask one of her personal maids hearing the sounds of people talking, the palace in chaos for the first time since her arrival. The place has always been quite, people talk in hush whispers."Someone came and he wants to see you but the princes and the pharaoh are not letting him come through, your great majesty." Sara explained, her hands deep into the concoction she is making for Suhayr even though she knows she won't take it. That is her work, to always make it each blessed morning whether or not she takes it is not her problem."Me? Who could that be?" Suhayr wondered who would want to see her and her brothers are not letting him. That only leads to one person, none other than Sa'eed because he is the only one they hate from the core of their heart.She stood up then took calming breaths knowing she should not make stupid moves while she is just in her first trimester. It has been a month s
ABDEEN PALACE, EGYPT."What happened, dear?" Her father cooed, wrapping her in his arms like any loving father would. His heart is filled with joy when she rushed to him and gave him a tight hug, he has been wanting her to do that for a long time and she did albeit crying. It tore his him into half knowing he is powerful enough to crush anyone without as much as wasting his energy but his daughter is here crying.Whoever it is that did this, will suffer greatly."I hate him, father! I abhor him so much, I don't want to see him ever again in my life. He, he sent me packing because of a stupid truth behind our marriage! He is not worth it." She cried to her father's chest for so many things that went wrong in her life for the past few weeks.She didn't even get to cry for her biological mother's death with real tears, she didn't do that then but now, she can't hold the tears. She agreed that tears and crying makes us feel more human and sated when they are

N'DJAMENA, CHAD.White, pure white!Everywhere is white, she is staring at the white place where everything white stared back at her like mockery. The walls are white, the mattress where some people are sitting on in white also. There are three of them and their backs are facing her,
