She's been driving for 7minutes now, with mixed feelings. She's mad of the photo Jolla sent in their gc and she's annoyed, irritated, as a matter of fact, of her encounter with the boy in the classroom. Pilit sumisingit sa kanyang imagination ang makapal nitong kilay na halos magsalubong sa pagkakakunot ng kanyang mga noo. Ang toned nitong katawan na bumagay sa height nitong almost 5'11 na kanina pa nagdududa ang kanyang isip kong kaklase nga ba nya ang lalaking yun o baka naman isa sa mga practice teachers from nearby colleges sa town proper. Pero bakit ngayon nya lang ito nakita kung kaklase nya ito?
Ipinilig ni Zandreaj ang kanyang ulo nang maalalang kahit naman isa sa mga kaklase nya ay hindi familiar sa kanya dahil nga hindi sya interesadong kilalanin ang mga ito. Masyado syang maraming isipin para isali pa sila sa nakakarindi nyang buhay. Kaunting- kaunti ang natitirang oras sa kanya para makipagchat sa kanyang mga kaibigan sa iniwang school.
Sa takbong 80-100 kph ay halos lumipad ang NMax ni Zandreaj. Hindi nya namamalayang napapahigpit ang hawak nya sa silinyador dahil sa inis na nararamdaman.
Bahagya syang nagmenor ng mapansing paakyat na sya ng tulay. Gustong gusto nyang tingnan ang malakas na agos ng tubig sa ilog tuwing dadaan sya doon umaga at hapon. Itinabi nya ang scooter at tuluyang tumigil sa may bukana ng tulay. Bumaba siya sa gilid matapos istand ang motor at umupo sa dike ng nakalawit ang mga paa. mababaw ang tubig at may ilang parte ng ilog na tuyo at walang dumadaloy. Sa kabilang ibayo ay may jeep na pangkalakal at hinuhugasan ng ilang kalalakihan at may ilang mga kabataang naliligo sa kabilang bahagi.
Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ni Zandreaj. She wanted to release all the weights in her chest. Malakas ang hangin at inililipad nito ang natural curly hair nya na mas bumagay sa kanya nung pinakulayan nya ng copper brown before leaving Cavite.
She took her iphone from her bag, plugged the earphones and played her favorite song by Adele.She closed her eyes and tried to relax but she can't. Instead, the photo Jolla sent her suddenly flashed in her mind which reminded her to be home earlier so she can chat her. Mahina ang data signal sa DonHiGh, kahit pa dito sa tulay. She can only have strong wifi connection at her grandma's house kasi may internet booster sila at nakapostpaid plan. She immediately stood up, took her bag and went back to her scooter. Few more minutes and she's driving again..over taking a gray innova which seems to be just having a joy ride with its very slow speed.
Zandreaj's home just after few minutes. Sinalubong sya ng masarap na amoy ng sinigang na hipon, her and her grandma's favorite. Bigla syang nakaramdam ng gutom.
Inihagis nya sa sofa ang kanyang bag matapos ilabas ang kanyang iphone saka tumuloy sa kusina. She found her granny dancing in front of the gas stove habang hawak ang kahoy na sandok. She looks younger than her age of 65 with her short-short hair and slim body. Wearing her favorite black leggings and boxer sando, she looks sexy and youthful in her 5 flat height. Their relatives told her she is her grandma's younger version. She is just thankful kahit papaano umabot ng 5'1 ang kanyang height. But still it made her feel so small in front of the arrogant boy kanina sa classroom.
Niyakap ni Zandreaj from the back ang kanyang lola.
"Oh you're here! tamang tama ilalagay ko nalang ang dahon ng kangkong at luto na ang ating paborito. Are you hungry dear?! nakangiti nitong tanong habang umiimbay imbay ang katawan kasabay ng mahinang waltz music mula sa stereo sa sala.
"Not really, but my tummy is ready for that yummy-looking sinigang lola." Iniabot ni Zandreaj ang kanyang kamay at nagmano.
"I will just change!" she said while walking out of the kitchen to her bedroom. Kinuha nya lang saglit ang kanyang bag sa sofa at tumuloy na sa kanyang kwarto.
Saglit syang umupo sa kama at sinuyod ng tingin ang buong silid. It feels home always. Ito ang kwarto ng mommy nya na naging kwarto nilang tatlo ng daddy nya when she was 2 to 6 years old. This place is too familiar to her. When they moved to Cavite because of her dad's job they could only come home twice a year, during holy weeks and Christmas vacation since it is a family tradition. When ever they are here, they stay in this room.
Everything is just the same. the old wall mirror adorned with seashells is still hanging at the foot of the bed. The built-in cabinets are well-maintained and is shining with wax. The bathroom smells just like how it was. Her eyes landed to their family picture on the center table under the wall mirror. She felt a sudden jolt of pain in her chest. They look so happy in the picture. Her mom is smiling so happily and so is her dad while looking adorably to her. They are both hugging her tight. She is all smile with her eyes almost closed from laughing hard. Inabot nya ang picture frame at itinaob bago nagbihis ng pang bahay.
