It has been nine weeks since that night when I was with my brothers again, and now I consistently notice that my eldest brother seems to be avoiding me more. Every time I go to the kitchen to eat or get a drink of water, it's as if I have a contagious virus that they cannot approach.
It hurts because I had hopes. Umasa ako na may mababago simula nung gabing iyon.
That's why I've chosen to focus my attention on the upcoming entrance examination for Kyupu. Madami ang nagsasabi na mahirap daw ang exam sa Kyupu so, those who really want to study there are opting for a review center exclusively for Kyupu.
Para sa akin, hindi ko na kailangan pa ng review center since matalino naman ako at malakas ang paniniwala ko na makakapasa ako.
Last week, I also saw the guy who drove me home from the airport. He was wearing an ID that indicated he is in BS in Civil Engineering, and the color of the ID lace was blue. On the left side of his chest, there was an embroidered 'Antonio J. L.' in color black, which stood out against his white polo shirt.
Wala talaga akong balak na pansinin siya since hindi ko naman siya gaanong ka-close at may kausap din siyang babae that time, ang kaso nga lang napansin ako ng lalaki na iyon.
"Selah!" dinig kong tawag sa akin nung lalaking naghatid sa akin pauwi, at kumaway pa kaya pati ang kausap niyang babae ay napaligon din sa akin.
At iyon ang hindi ko inaasahan, ang makita ang maganda niyang perpektong hubog ng mukha. Nang makalapit sila ay mas na-emphasize pa kung gaano siya kaganda kapag malapit.
"Ganda 'no?" Tanong ng lalaki kaya naputol ang pagtitig ko sa babaeng kanina pa rin nakatingin sa akin.
Agad akong napa-iwas ng tingin at sinamaan na lamang ng tingin ang lalaki para kunwari ay hindi ako masyadong napahiya.
"Oo, tapos ikaw pangit." Pang-aasar ko.
Sinimangutan niya ako at pabiro akong inirapan.
