How do you know if
something is real?
It's when everything
starts to have meaning.
"So what actions did you take this week to help release dopamine in your brain?"
Nagkibit-balit si Indigo. "Ano, share lang ng mga memes sa Facebook, ganon."
"Indigo," Liam sigh. "Diba sabi ko naman sa'yo na you should limit the amount of daily screen time like using gadgets? Go out and socialize, take some time to have some breather. Hindi yung nagkukulong ka sa loob ng kwarto kasama ang mga gadgets mo."
Agad na nag-iwas nang tingin si Indigo nang pandilatan niya ito ng mata. Napailing nalang si Liam habang binabasa ang isang case study mula sa Amerika.
The link between Trauma and ADHD.
Tinignan niya ulit ang teenager na si Indigo na prenteng nakaupo sa harapan. It seems that Indigo felt that he was looking at her kaya malaki na napangiti ito sa sakanya na siyang ikinailing ni Liam.
Ang bilis nga talaga ng panahon.
In the past, the kid, Indigo's eyes were burning with so much life, even though it was filled with anger and fear. But now, it seems that she was on the brink of giving up.
She was smiling but her eyes were dead and wilting. Just a little push and she will disappear without anyone's knowing.
"Liam, may tanong ako sayo,"
"What is it?"
Ngumiting aso naman si Indigo at umayos ng upo.
"What is blue and not heavy?"
Liam frowned. "I don't know, ano?"
"Eh, di, light blue!" At tumawa nang malakas si Indigo.
He facepalm. Walang emosyon na inabot niya ang telepono sa mesa at agad na nagpindot ng numero.
"Hello. This is Doc. Liam. I would like to make an appointment for myself-"
"Joke lang! Tym pers!" Agad na pigil sakanya ni Indigo kaya napilitan na rin siyang ibaba ang telepono.
Napakamot si Indigo sa gilid ng kilay niya habang naka pout.
"Grabe ka naman, Liam gurang. Nag jo-joke lang naman po ako, eh."
"Indigo, you often use humor to deflect serious trauma."
"Salamat,"
"I didn't say it was a good thing."
"Pero parang sinasabi mo na rin na sobrang funny ko na tao."
He sigh and close his eyes for a minute to shoo away the negative vibe looming around him. Mukhang maa-admit nga siya ng dis-oras dahil magkakaroon siya ng anger issues dahil sa mga sagot ng dalagang kaharap.
"Alam ko na pinapatawa mo lang ako para maging passing score ka sa mga sessions natin. Kaya wag ako, Indigo."
Her eyes widened. Indigo's face flushed while trying to clear her throat in embarrassment. Nahuli na naman siya. Nahihiyang nag-iwas ulit siya nang tingin.
