I was left dumbfounded by what I've read.
"Bakit daw?" Tanong ni nanay saakin. I shook my head.
"Nothing 'nay, nanghihingi lang ng financial help. You can now leave." I firmly said. Nung aakmang magsasalita pa yung pinakamataas sakanila inunahan ko na. "Leave." Madiin kong sabi. They had no choice but to leave.
"Talaga bang nanghingi lang ng tulong?" Nagtatakang tanong ni nanay saakin. Ngumiti ako sakanya at tumango.
"Kakain na ako 'nay, gutom na ako." I said and hugged her.
"Naglalambing ka nanaman, osya sige na kakain na tayo." Sabi niya at naunang naglakad. I crumpled the paper I received earlier at tinapon sa labas bintana at dumiretso sa hapag kainan.

Calling Mama Pia...
Call declined...
Mas nangingibabaw saakin ngayon ang inis. How could she enroll me in a school I don't even know of? How could she not tell me? How could she not ask me if I wanted to transfer or not?
It's just so unfair!
At nakaka-unfair pa dito, kakatapos lang ng school year namin— kaka awarding nga lang kanina— tapos mag-aaral ako ulit? Walang katapusan to?
I don't care if my mother has plans for me, I wont go. I wont transfer. I wont enrol— never.
Tumingin ako sa calendar sa pinto ko, Friday ngayon, I have 5 days to find a solution.
Come on Azi, think think!
Napahiga ako sa kama ko habang malalim ang iniisip.
"Ano ba pwede kong magawa?" I unconsciously said habang nakakunot pa noo ko at nakatutok sa ceiling.
"Come on Azi... think—" without knowing, I drifted to sleep.

"Athene.."
"Athene..."
"You need to go as soon as possible."
W-who is that? W-where am I?
"Athene..."
Who's this woman talking? Why does she know me?
"Athene..."
