Chapter: 9

It takes effort to get the real work, inspiration will give you the courage to gamble in life.

We are back in the real world where we will face the test of the world again, even if I say I want to stay there I can't because we have to go back to our homes.

It is also a few weeks before we will have a break where we will bond with our families pero ang tanong may atensyon kaya ang pamilya ko para sa napaka espesyal na araw sa december? Sometimes I ask myself why we can't be together as a family with dad and brother?

A few years later, my older brother chose to move away and build his own world. Sometimes I also ask myself if I want to be like my older brother. He can run away from everything just to find his dream, I hope I have the same courage as him, who can disobey dad and choose my dream.

Sometimes I can't help but feel sorry for dad because if I leave him no one will always be there for him, even if I don't become a good child I still won't lose my love for my father. But I can't help but be angry with dad because he always wants what needs to be followed in the house so maybe my older brother left because his patience has run out.

The world is so cruel. Yes we do have money but you can’t see the love in our eyes. Sometimes I wish we could be complete even without mom.

My hand was holding the strap of my bag, my face was just straight focused on the road. Automatic na lumingon ang tingin ko ng mahagip ko si Jazure na naglalakad. Para akong nanigas sa aking kinatatayuan ng nagtama ang mga mata namin, natigil din siya. I quickly walked away from there.

Even though I couldn’t feel my chest. It was drumming like a drum. Who told me to hurry up and walk?

My classmates didn't feel like listening to our teacher, who wouldn't be sleepy if the lecturer in front of us didn't feel like giving a lecture. Later, the bell rang so Mrs. Flores left. Some leaned back in their seats, others began to adjust their gear for the next subject.

I looked down at my watch before looking out the window. Something caught my attention as people were gathering in the middle of the field, she's laying unconsciously. I immediately stood up when I realised that it was Jazure.

Spontaneously my feet went there, I pushed the other man standing in front of her. My eyes were angry looking at them one by one. 

They have already seen that she fell down but they haven't helped her, don't they have a brain?

Gulat pa ang iba dahil sa ginawa ko, hindi ko na sila pinansin at yumuko kay Jazure para magpantay ang mukha namin. I could see the intense weakness on her face. Without warning I picked her up bridal style. Her head rested on my chest.

Huminga ako ng malalim at nagsimula na maglakad, gumilid ang iba para bigyan kami ng daan. Akala ko mabigat siya pero doon ako nagkamali, ang gaan niya parang hindi siya kumakain. 

Pinunta ko siya sa clinic, ang sabi ng nurse stress at dahil sa gutom, doon ko lang nalaman na hindi pala siya kumain kanina kaya agad siyang nahilo buti na lang pinunta ko siya agad sa clinic.

Nakasandal sa higaan si Jazure habang pinapakinggan ang mga sinasabi ng nurse sa kanya, nakatayo lang ako sa harap nila habang ang dalawa kong braso ay nasa aking dibdib. 

Maya-maya pa'y bumaling ang tingin ng nurse sa akin. "It's good that you brought your girlfriend here right away," she said.

Jazure and I stopped when we noticed a word. We looked at each other, she immediately averted her gaze. I smiled at the nurse and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of my girlfriend so that what happened to her earlier won't happen again." The nurse smiled at me. I wanted to laugh because of her reaction, not to be painted because of panic.
