A Forbidden Affair (Guieco Clan Series #2)

CHAPTER 7- CLASH OF CLANS

"Boyles Law."

"The volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure exerted on it," Kens quickly responded to Shines' question.

Nasa DH kami ngayon hindi para kumain kundi para maglaro. Ganitong klase ng laro meron kami noon pa man. Batohan ng mga tanong at ang hindi makasagot ang siyang may parusa.

Sa ngayon ay ang mga salita na ibabato sa amin ay related sa major subject o field namin. Kahit hindi sakto 'yong wording basta nandon ang thought ay ayos na.

"Hmm! Bilis, ha? Crys, Mendel's Law."

"A principle in genetics proved subsequently to be subject to many limitations: because one of each pair of hereditary units dominates the other in expression, characters are inherited alternatively on an all-or-nothing basis —called also law of dominance."

Wow! Sila na magaling sa science. Nakakadugo utak 'yon 'no? Saan kaya nila iniimbak lahat ng mga nalalaman nila sa asignaturang agham?

Everyone gasped and couldn't help but be amazed. We're all agents, but we each have a different kind of expertise. That's why we admire each other's strengths.

"Impresssive! Gab."

"Yes, go on, darling," puno ng kumpiyansang tugon ng kambal ko. Natawa na lang ako.

"Yabang mo talaga, Silang," asik ni Jinro kaya awtomatikong inirapan niya ang isa.

"Baka kasi may ikakayabang din naman ako, 'no?"

"Hep! Quadratic Formula," singit agad ni Shines bago pa magkasapakan na naman ang dalawa.

"A formula that gives the solutions of the general quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 and that is usually written in the form x = (-b ± √(b2 − 4ac))/(2a)."

Napailing ako. Bakit kaya sa aming dalawa ay siya lang ang mathematician? So, unfair.

Nagpalakpakan naman ang lahat na nandidito at kasama na ako doon. Nakaka-proud na maging kambal ng daot na ito.

"Marci, ano ang panghalip?"

Napuno ng tawanan sa loob bagay na ikinangiwi ko. So pinoy! Pinagtatawanan ang sariling wika.

Don't they know that the Filipino subject is not as easy as they used to think it is?
Bakit? Kaya ba nilang ilatag ang walong bahagi ng pananalita ng hindi nagkakamali at nalilito?

Alam ba nila ang kaibahan ng payak, tambalan at hugnayang pangungusap? Ang pagkakaiba ng unlapi, gitlapi, hulapi at kabilaan?

And, most importantly, do they understand that without the Filipino language, exclusively taught in the Filipino subject, people in this country would never genuinely comprehend one another? It serves as the primary tie binding our nation and as a means for our unity.

And I'm quite sure that the answer to my own questions is a resounding no! Because if it were yes, why are they laughing? Is it because they are undermining the question that Shines posed to me?

"What's so amusing about the word 'Panghalip'? Why is everyone laughing?"

If you think I said that, you're mistaken. That voice belonged to him. I mean, Ashmer, who had just walked in.

A hush fell over everyone. He leaned in and whispered something. "Answer it, baby."

Then he took a seat behind his sibling, who was conveniently facing me. This man is quite the flirt. Luckily, Percy isn't here.

Nagtataka at nagtatanong ang mga mata ng lahat na tumitig sa akin. Inaalam kung ano ang ibinulong niya at hindi naman ako tanga para i-broadcast pa iyon.
