Fragile 25
Nangangalahati na ako sa aking iniinom nang napagdesisyonan kong tumayo. Sumasakit na din kasi ang likod ko sa pagkakaupo. I headed towards the book shelve.
Binasa ko ang mga pamagat ng mga librong nandoon habang sumisipsip sa milktea'ng hawak. I remembered when my mama was still alive. We used to buy books and read it together. Sometimes, she will read it for me as I prepare to sleep kahit na malaki na ako.
It was one of my favorite part of the day. But after she died I never read any books, it will only remind me of those days that we were happy. I am happy.
And I thought to myself after she died, that I will never be genuinely happy after I lost her. I took large steps leaving that area when moments from the past started playing in my mind.
Kung gusto ko man isipin si mama doon lang dapat sa bahay. Sa loob ng kuwarto ko. Dahil kagaya ng mga kadalasang nangyayari sa tuwing iniisip ko s'ya. Umiiyak ako.
I won't cry now. Not when nerd is here. He might think I'm weak. I can't be weak when someone's around.
Nang maubos ko ang iniinom ay itinapon ko iyon kay nerd. Tumama iyon sa salamin nito sa mukha. I chuckled when his eyeglasses drop.
"Throw that"
And like what slaves do, he obediently picked up the empty cup. Tumayo si nerd at naglakad sa basurahan na nasa aking gilid.
Nakatayo si nerd malapit sa'kin pagkatapos niyang itapon iyon. His height is actually no joke. Hanggang balikat lang ako ni nerd kahit na may kaunting heels ang aking suot sa paa. His frame (body) perfectly match his height too-
I shook the thoughts of my head when I noticed that I was secretly complementing nerd from my mind. The hell, Daenah?!
"Don't get too near me, nerd! You're disgusting!"
Para akong natamaan sa kidlat sa paglayo mula kay nerd. Ilang oras pa ba ang natitira sa bwisit na detention na ito?! I will go nuts habang kasama ko ang nerd na ito.
"Dean gave us order after this we'll go to his office"
"I don't fvcking care. Pumunta ka kung gusto mo"
Nerd sighed. Inayos nito ang salamin sa mata.
"Ano ang gusto mong mangyari bakit n'yo ginawa iyon kay Therese?"
The nerve with this nerd to ask me question?
"Shut up" I hissed
Nerd let out a heavy sigh again.
"I might help you..."
Uhuh? Really now?
"Like a minion?" I tested him
He might be a help? I'm not sure.
"Whatever you want"
"If I ask you to kiss the sole of my shoes, you'll do it too?"
"I might. Kung makakatulong iyon sa'yo"
I smirked. This nerd doesn't know what he's talking about. Well, grab the opportunity ika nga.
"Nerd, I want you to kiss the sole of my shoe"
Let's see if he will do it.
"Sabihin mo muna sa'king kung anong gusto mong mangyari kay Therese"
Nakipagnegotiate pa talaga ang bwisit na ito?
"I want her gone but I don't want her gone since she's my toy. I want to play with her. It's not a bad intention, right?"
Hindi sumagot si nerd. I glared at him and asked again.
"Right?!"
I smirked when he slowly nod. Good slave good.
"Now, kiss the sole of my shoe"
Inangat ko bahagya ang kanang paa ko. I have in mind that nerd will eat his words but it was erased when he kneel in front of me.
Like a knight bowing to her queen. Hinawakan nito ang sapatos ko. His head slowly leaned down and kissed the sole of my shoe. Marahan nitong binaba ang aking paa pagkatapos. I am very satisfied.
Sumilay sa aking bibig nag matagumpay na ngiti. This nerd isn't bad at all.
"Now, after this. I want you to help us get rid of that old dean. I want him out from this school."
"Paano?"
"Meddle on his work. Since pupunta ka sa office n'ya mamaya, take something that you think might be really important. Burn it and voila! He will be fired from his job!"
"Why?"
"What?"
"Bakit ninyo kailangang paalisin si Mr. Cuando?"
"Nerd... rule number one for you. Don't ask. Do what I said kung ayaw mong matulad sa mga laruan ko?" I said referring to those students na dumaan sa aming magkakaibigan
"Mr. Cuando will be gone from this school tomorrow" nerd slowly said
"I want him gone today. Siguraduhin mo lang na hindi ka papalpak, nerd" banta ko
If ever this nerd fail from his task, I will surely throw him things. Hindi ako titigil hangga't hindi s'ya magmamakaawang tigilan ko s'ya.
Tumango ito habang mariin ang titig sa aking mga mata.
"He will be gone later"
