Camp Sadness Of Dandelion

Chapter 38

Sometimes I didn't believe in luck because bad times always coming on my way so why believe it? Yung plano ko ay maging payapa ang buhay, I didn't want to want any negative energies waving through my senses. I shook my head in disbelief. Nasaan na kaya ang therapist na sinasabi ni Marie?

"What are you doing here Wave? Opisina ito ng therapist. Nasaan siya?"

"Come in Lisa. You're welcome to come here anytime. And you're looking for the therapist? I'm at your service." he said, arms were widely open.

I snorted. This guy just gave me a headache. Imbes na magpagaling ay madadagdagan ang sakit sa ulo ko. "Nasaan ang therapist? Umalis ka na dito para makapag-usap kami." Naiinis kong sagot.

"You're talking to him now. I'm the therapist Lisa. At ano bang pag-uusapan natin? Come here and sit down." he opened the door widely.

Imbes na pumasok ay pinagkrus ko ang aking braso sa harap ng bibig. "Bakit ka naging therapist? Akala ko ay naliligaw ka lang dito."

He smirked at my response. "I'm here with a purpose Lisa. And also sa iyong tanong, I have a degree in psychology and eventually became a psychologist that's why I'm here talking in front of you and ready to listen to your complaints in life."

He sat down on a maroon couch in front of the long couch na usually na nakikita ko sa movies kung saan nakahiga ang client. Then Wave crossed his legs, he looked hot in that angle. Kakapansin ko palang na nakasuot siya ng black slacks at white long sleeve shirt. His hair was brushed up and his forehead was on a show. May hibla ng kanyang buhok ang naligaw at nasa noo niya. Pero hindi magulo ang buhok niya.

"Degree in psychology but I thought you want to become a film director? What happened to your dream career?" Nagtataka kong tanong, umupo ako harap niya.

He looked at me under his lashes. "The wind doesn't always blow in the same direction. Sometimes it goes to the north, south, west, and east. Anywhere else. And dreams sometimes stayed as dreams. What you dream isn't always come in our way. It melted like an ice." he said without breaking his eyes on me. So he decided to go to in different direction. Pero at least hindi niya sinunod ang kanyang mga magulang, kung ano ang propesyon nila.

"Pero bakit psychology? Bakit naging psychologist ka? Mayroon bang rason?" sunod kong tanong habang tinitignan ang kabuuan ang kanyang opisina. His office was also like him, manly.

He leaned his back on the couch. Hindi na nakatingin ang kanyang mga mata sa akin. "Well I have this friend of mine who is so dear to me. I wanted to become a psychologist because of her, I thought I just wasted my time over this field but no, I'm wrong. She's seeking for help and I am here to aid her. To help her recovered."

Her. Kaibigan na babae. Mapait naman akong ngumiti. Siguro ay marami siyang naging kaibigan noon. Hindi ko lang alam kung sino dahil hindi naman kami naging close sa isa't-isa. But he confessed to me.

I intentionally changed the subject. "Well, you're working here? Why here kung mariming opportunities sa ibang lugar? Ang daming may kailangan ng psychologist sa syudad kaya bakit hindi doon?"

He tilted his head, he bit the tip of the pen he's holding. Ang mga mata niya ay nakatuon sa grandfather clock. He shrugged his shoulders. "Marami ding mga tao ang nangangailangan ng tulong sa mga liblib na lugar tulad nalang dito sa Camp Treat. Ang daming tao ang pumupunta dito para gumaan ang kanilang loob, to gain confidence, and to seek help... and I'm selfish if I just refuse their help. I became a psychologist because people need help to open up the brighter side of their lives."

I couldn't say anything. He's right. Kaya nga ako nandito dahil gusto ko na may professional na makakausap tungkol sa mental well-being ko. I needed help because I also wanted to be in the brighter side of my life. And I wanted to go in there. As a better me.
