Samantha's point of view
"BAKIT BA ANG BAIT BAIT MO?" Biglang tanong sa akin ni ms. Irene na bumasag nang katahimikan namin ngayon sa loob ng elevator.
Katabi ko na siya ngayon sa isang sulok dito sa elevator at isa o dalawang metro lang ang layo namin sa isa't isa.
"Why not?" I asked her back, as I faced her.
"No. I mean, kanina hindi ba bineblame kita sa situation natin ngayon? 'Tapos nung nauuhaw ako, inalukan mo ako ng tubig kahit na pinagsalitaan kita nang masama." I heard ms. Irene explain while biting her lips.
Nagu-guilty na ba siya? Deserve.
"There's nothing wrong with being nice to you po, ms. Irene. Kahit sa kabila nang pinapakita niyong ugali sa akin, I'll never lose my respect for you po, as my professor."
As my professor.
Salita pa lang alam ko nang malabong-malabo ko siya makuha at maging akin dahil alam ko na isa itong pagkakamali.
Treacherous love, right?
I am just her dumb and stupid student, and she's my classy wealthy perfect professor.
"Buti ka pa, you never lose your kindness and respect for everyone. Ako kasi, pagod at ubos na. Sinayang nila eh, inubos pa nila 'yung kabaitan na meron ako noon, that's why I chose to be a person who has no feelings and doesn't care about the chaotic world."
"Lahat naman po 'ata nang mga sinasabi at kinikilos niyo ay may rason, hindi ba?" Her head nodded in response.
"Care to share po ms. Irene, but it's okay if not. 'Cause I know that we didn't know each other to share some thoughts and problems naman po," I let out a soft chuckle to get rid the akwardness between us.
I heard she sigh before averting her gaze. "I'll not give the exact details since we're not close enough for you to know the problem in my life."
"I also don't want to cry in front of you, sucks!" She added which made me laugh quietly.
"Then don't ms. Irene,"
"My parents, my Dad." She took a deep breath first to continue her story. "I grew up without their support since then, cause they chose politics against me. Only from my siblings do I receive the support that I've been seeking since then from my parents, and who gives my parent's shortcomings to me.."
"Their opponents, whom I respect, they spoke ill of me."
"Doon ka natutunan na hindi lahat kailangan ginagalang at deserve ng respeto ko. Hindi mo rin kailangan umasa sa mga oras at atensyon nila, dahil ikaw din ang magiging kawawa sa huli.."
Family, family is her problem. She needs attention and love from the people who are important to her.
Tama si ms. Dawn, may tinatago din siyang kabaitan at kalambutan mula sa puso. Tuluyan lang itong naibaon, dahil sa pamilya niyang hindi siya pinaglalaanan ng oras.
Sa tingin ko, ang mga magulang niya ang magpapabalik nun.
"We're different po ms. Irene, I grew up in a happy family and was taught to respect everyone," I calmly uttered.
"Maybe we are not as rich as you, but they did not fail to care of me until I grew up po." I saw how she rolled her eyes at me making me smiled.
"I don't care about money, I want them to supply the love and attention I've been asking for 30 years." Hindi ko man makita ang lungkot sa boses niya, pero kita naman sa mga mata niya.
Eyes can't lie.
"You said that our place is trash. And yes, it's a trash. But believe it or not po ms. Irene, babalik at babalikan ko po ang lugar na 'yon, dahil marami akong masasayang ala-alang hindi makalimutan na ibinaon doon,"
