"Ma, why are we leaving the city? Maayos naman na po ang buhay natin dito!" pagututol ko sa nais iparating sa akin ni mama. Umiling siya sa aking harapan na para bang buo na talaga ang kanyang desisyon.
"No, Claire. Mas magiging maayos ang pag-aaral mo kapag nailayo kita dyan sa boyfriend mong tambay lang naman sa kanto!" pasigaw niyang saad. Namuo ang galit sa aking sistema.
Pinunasan ko ang lumandas na luha mula sa aking mga mata.
"Ma, hindi siya tambay lang sa kanto. Si Josh ang pinakaresponsableng taong nakilala ko, ma. Siya 'yung tumanggap sa akin at nagparamdam sa akin na hindi ako nag-iisa noong sinusubukan niyong ibalik ang relasyon niyo ni papa. Nakalimutan niyo na nga po ako noong mga oras na iyon ma!" mag-asawang sampal ang natanggap ko mula kay mama. Nakita ko kung paano mag-alab ang kanyang tingin sa akin.
"At ang gusto mong piliin ay ang lalaki mo imbes na iyang pag-aaral mo? Claire, iniisip ko lang naman ang mas makabubuti sa iyo." Pakiwari ni mama. I pressed my lips together.
"Hindi ma, hindi niyo talaga alam kung anong mas makabubuti sa akin. Hindi niyo po ba nakikita? Hindi naman po bumaba ang grado ko sa school ng dahil lang sa pakikipag-relasyon ko kay Josh. Kung tutuusin nga po ay siya pa ang tumutulong sa akin para mas magpursigi ako sa pag-aaral kahit na ang gusto ko na lang pong gawin ay tumigil at sumuko sa buhay." Naiiyak kong saad at napaupo sa sahig. Nagbago naman ang ekspresyon ni mama.
Ma, I'm sorry, but I'll fight for Josh. I'll fight for that man.
"Ma, all I have in that time was him. When you left me, still chasing papa even if he already turned his back on us, I met him and he did become the wonderful thing that happened to me. Ma, hindi naman po porke't may kasintahan ako ay hindi ko na magagawa ang dapat kong gawin bilang isang estudyante at anak. Ma, hindi ako kabilang doon sa mga kabataang liwaliw lang ang alam at pagpapasarap sa buhay. Kabilang po ako doon sa alam pa rin ang limitasyon, kasi alam kong ako 'yung pag-asa ng bayan."
