You are My Clarity

CHAPTER 6: Tea

Pagkatapos naming ihatid sila BBM ay pumunta muna kami sa bahay nila mommy para mag-agahan, after that umuwi na kami ni Bench sa bahay.

On our way home tumawag sakin si Mama, saying that she'll be busy kaya its malabo na makakauwi siya mamayang Lunch, and by that being said sinabihan ko nalang si Bench na samahan ako sa bahay tamang tama at Linggo ngayon, rest day para sa mga nabubulok na naming utak na bugbog sarado sa pre-law course namin. Oo na, aamin na ako, I was the one who compelled him to take Legal Management. Without any hesitation, he promptly agreed with me naman. Same course para raw kopyahan kami. Which is suntok sa buwang mangyare.

Ewan ko sa kanya, makikipag sabunutan nalang daw siya sa korte kung saka-sakaling supalpalin siya ng opposing camp in the hearing.

My interest in politics started when I met Sandro Marcos in a National News Tv. There was a rally about him, the rally really out of context out of political matter coz it stated in the placard "Pangit mo, Sandro Marcos." I was intrigued. I never know that Bongbong Marcos has a son. Marcoses are well known, but never his sons. Maybe its just me not being exposed in news and political matter or his son just living their lowkey lifr away from the public. Out of curiousity, I search him. Sandro Marcos. Well, he's fine. As a bachelor in his mid-twenty and working in House of Representatives as a staff are quite stunning. I gather sorts of information about him and I have learned how intellectually packed he is. I extent my range on knowing him more and I just found myself simping over him. I saw his younger pictures, about 18 or 19 he was and I was dump-founded. The hell! His hot in his teen age days. Oh! So he is a DJ?

Upon knowing the political Family he was from, I have learned how important the political knowledge is. 'Yon ay ang mamulat sa katutuhanan. Having interest in politics will ingrowth your eagerness for the betterment of your country. It will expose you in reality of life, your surrounding and laws that being implemented, and your country's development.

During those times I was anxious, as a graduating student of Senior High School, I am confused what course I'll gonna take. And I consulted my parents, ninang Inday, my friends and their answers are all the same that runs in the line of "Choose a course that you imagine yourself doing the rest of your life. A profession that you love doing without thinking of how you'll be paid." And here I am, pursuing the profession that I will love doing for the rest of my life.

"Oh vakla, spill the tea na kanina pa ako hindi makapaghintay. Akala mo ba masaya ipagdrive ka para lang sa chismis na kapalit"

Nakaupo kami ngayon sa lamesa sa kusina at naghihimay nang kangkong para sa sinigang na lulutuin ni Bench.

"So ayon na nga. Napag-isipan kong 'wag nalang ishare sayo, nahihiya ako eh"

"Nahiya ka pa, eh wala ka naman no'n. Spill o sabunot"

"Sandro lang ang laging pipiliin"

"Pero never kang pipiliin"

"Aray ko po" i even put my hand to my chest to act that im in pain. "Ansakit mo magsalita a, kaibigan ba talaga kita"

"Oo, kaya nga sinasampal ko sayo ang realidad diba"

"Ang sakit ha, pero mas masakit ang hita ko" that shit just slipped out of my mouth

"OMG!" napatayo pa siya sa inuupuan niya.

"Buntis ka! How dare you! Pinapaaral ka namin ng ama mo, binibigay lahat ng gusto mo tapos magpapabuntis ka lang?! LuMaYas kaa-aray ko!!" Sinapak ko nga

"Pang grammy awards ka na n'yan?"

"Oy putragis ka" sinapak n'ya pa ako" na overwhelm lang ako sa info na sinabi mo, pero seryoso? Nabinyagan ka?" I nod and covered my face in remorse.
