Fangs of a Half-Blood

28 | Missing: Red Fangs King

Days already been passed. My pack was recovering from the attack. For days I don't feel safe. Dumarami na ang mga matang nakamasid sa akin. Ramdam na ramdam ko na malapit na silang umatake. I just don't know when. Plus, absent din si Ry nang ilang araw na.

'Yan ay isa sa ipinagtaka ko. I remembered he mentioned, hate niya ang um-absent. So, what now? Perhaps, may pinuntahan siya? I don't know. Imbyerna ako dahil hindi man lang siya nagpaalam. I was quick to scold myself because of the thought. Why would I be angry with him when in fact he's not even my boyfriend?

We just shared one bed that night. That was just a mistake! But no matter how many times I shoved that thought in my head, my mind won't agree with me. It tells me that Ry should be held responsible for what had happened to us that night.

But it was unnecessary to hold him responsible, because even so he asked permission. And I let him that easily. Ginusto ko rin naman ang nangyari sa aming dalawa. Up until now, my feelings for him is still ambiguous. Hindi ko alam kung ano ito. Kung sino ba talaga siya sa buhay ko.

"There are five total properties of algorithm . . ." our professor in programming was busy lecturing. Habang ako naman ay wala sa kaniya ang buong atensyon. All I could think of right now is Ry. "Finiteness, an algorithm must always terminate after a finite number of steps. It means after every step one reaches closer to the solution of the problem. And after a finite number of steps the algorithm reaches to an end point," he explained.

Sabi ng aming professor ay kailangan niyang ibalik ito dahil halos lahat sa amin ay nangangapa pa rin sa programming. I guess, dalawa o apat lang ang matalino sa major subject namin. Gusto niya raw ito ipa-intindi sa amin so we could finally program well.

Tumingin ako sa labas ng bintana.

"Definiteness, each step of an algorithm must be precisely defined. It is done by well thought actions to be performed at each step of the algorithm. Also the actions are defined unambiguously for each activity in the algorithm," pagpapatuloy pa nito.

Narinig namin siyang bumuntonghininga sa gitna ng pagdi-discuss. "Input, any operation you perform need some beginning value or quantities associated with different activities in the operation. So the value or quantities are given to the algorithm before it begins."

Nabaling ang aking atensyon nang marinig ko na naman ang pagbuntonghininga ng aking tabi.

"Kahit kailan talaga wala akong naiintindihan. Bobo ba ako?" bulong niya sa kaniyang sarili.

Iniling ko na lamang ang aking ulo dahil sa narinig mula sa kaniya. At ngumiti pagkatapos. Muli akong tumingin sa labas ng bintana. There I saw a peaceful sky. Halos walang mga ulap. Tanging nakikita ko lamang ay ang kulay ng kalangitan. But no matter how beautiful it is, the odd wind is still lingering.

A wind of danger. Tila ba'y ang nature na ang nagsabi na may paparating na hindi maganda. Ganito na ito pagkatapos ng gabing umatake ang Holials sa kinatitirikan ng aking pack.

"Output. One always expects output or results, expected value or quantities, in terms of output from an algorithm. The result may be obtained at different stages of algorithm. If some result from the intermediate stage of the operation then it is known as intermediate result and result obtained at the end of algorithm is known as end result. The output is expected value or quantities always have a specified relation to the inputs," rinig na rinig ko pa rin ang boses ng aming professor kahit na nasa labas ang buo kong atensyon.

Napaayos ako ng upo at tumingin sa harap nang marinig ko ang nagbabanta nitong tikhim.

"Lastly, effectiveness. Algorithms to be developed or written using basic operations. Actually, operations should be basic, so that even they can in principle be done exactly and in a finite amount of time by a person by using paper and pencil only."
