《I can't make you love me》Chapter 6
Advertisement
When I first set foot here in the city, I thought I wouldn't be able to handle life alone without the guidance of my parents. I am fully aware that I can't make decisions on my own, but lately I've been slowly seeing improvements in my life as a complete college student.
I was so hooked to the idea of living life while there was nothing to worry about to even realize that our midterm examinations were approaching. Natawa ako nang makita ang natatarantang ekspresyon ni Alexah.
naiinis niyang sagot habang hinahalungkat ang bag nya.
Napabuntong hininga naman ako.
Marahas syang bumuntong hininga at tinignan ako ng masama.
tipid kong sagot at binalik sa binabasa ang paningin. Nagre-review ako para sa paparating na midterm exams.
ungot nya sabay padyak ng mga paa na parang bata.
Umirap lang sya at pumasok sa kwarto nya. Dalaga na pero isip bata pa rin.
I had a hard time to comprehend my notes because nothing seemed to enter my mind. Para akong wala sa sarili na nakatingin sa binabasa ko. Ba't ba kasi kapag nagre-review ako saka naman ako inaantok?
Frustrated kong tiniklop ang notebook at mga libro ko at tumihaya sa sofa. Na miss ko na si Billy, yung alagang pusa ko sa bahay. Hindi kasi ako pinayagan nina mama at papa na dalhin sya dahil baka mapabayaan ko lang daw, at kahit ayaw ko naisip ko rin na baka nga hindi ko maalagaan sya ng Mabuti dito dahil halos araw-araw kaming wala sa apartment ni Alexah. Napangiti ako nang may maalala.
Billy is one of the sources of my strength. Naalala ko pa n'ong nakita ko sya sa abandonadong gusali malapit sa eskwelahan at may mga sugat sa katawan, elementary pa lamang ako niyon at naawa akong pabayaan lang sya. Kaya nang umuwi ako ay hindi ko muna sya dinala dahil magpapaalam muna ako kina mama at papa na syang pinagsisihan ko dahil hindi sila pumayag, baka may rabis pa at kagatin ako.

Mga dalawang araw pagkatapos akong pagalitan nina mama at papa ay papauwi na 'ko noon nang makita ko sya ulit, nasa basurahan at naghahanap ng pagkain. Habang nakatingin ako sa kanya at di ko maiwasang masaktan, sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko sa nasaksihan. OA man isipin pero sobrang mapagmahal ako sa mga hayop, na para bang anak ko na sila.
Nang dahil doon ay hindi na ako nag dalawang isip na amponin ang pusa at dinala ko pauwi sa bahay at gaya noong araw na nagpaalam ako kina mama at papa ay pinagalitan nila ako. Nagmakaawa ako sa kanila at kahit papaano ay gumaan ang pakiramdam ko nang kampihan ako ni kuya. Pinangako ko sa kanila na ma-iingat ako at sabi namn ni kuya ay sya na ang bahala sa akin, kaya kahit ayaw nina mama at papa ay pinabayaan nalang nila ako basta mag-iingat ako at lilinisin ko ang dumi.
Natawa ako sa naalala. Kung noon ay sobrang ayaw nila kay Billy, pero di naman nagtagal ay parang ayaw na nilang ibigay sakin ang alaga kong pusa. Kahit si kuya ay natatawa nalang noon samin. Naging happy pill na naming si Billy, at kahit ilang taon na sya samin ay hanggang nagyon malusog at healthy pa rin. Parang anak na ang turing nina mama at papa sa kanya. Minsa ay nagseselos ako dahil mas nabibilhan pa sya ng magagandang gamit kesa sakin!
Napasimangot ako sa tinis ng boses ni Alexah. Nakaupo na sya ulit sa pwesto nya at may hawak ng notebook.
naiinis kong sikmat sa kanya.
Napairap naman sya.
tipid kong sagot at bumangon mula sa pagkakahilata.
agap ko.
Nakangiwi niyang sabi.
Pareho kaming natigilan nang tumunog ang cellphone nya na nasa gilid ng mesa. Sinenyasan nya akong tumahimik at sinagot ang tawag.
I just shrugged my shoulders and got up to get some water from the kitchen because it seemed like not only my throat was dry, but also my brain. Pagbalik ko ay naabutan kong nakabihis ng panglakad at nag-aayos na si Alexah.

Nagtataka kong tinignan sya at nilapag sa mesa ang isang baso ng tubig. "Saan ka na naman pupunta?"
nakangiti nyang sagot habang inaayos ang sarili.
inosenting sagot ko habang pinapanood siyang nag-aayos.
Napangiwi naman sya sa sinagot ko.
nakangisi kong sabi.
sagot ko nalang dahil sa totoo lang, wala akong pakialam.
natatawa niyang sabi at sinuot na ang sling bag nya.
Tumango lang ako at kumaway.
Tamad kong sinalampak ang katawan sa sofa at kinuha ang libro na nasa ibabaw ng mesa. Wala pa nga akong masyado na ginagawa ay pagod na 'ko. Utak ko lang yung ginamit ko pero parang pati katawan ko ay napagod din. Frustrated kong ginulo ang buhok ko nang maalala na may duty pa pala ako mamaya. Noong isang araw ko lang natanggap ang text na hired na 'ko at pwede na kong magsimula this week.
Mabuti nalang at may trabaho na 'ko bago pa ang midterm exam week, ayokong mamroblema sina mama at papa sa bayarin, lalo na kung kaya ko naman magtrabaho habang nag-aaral. Flexible naman ang schedule ko sa trabaho kaya di nakakaapekto, 'yon nga lang ay pagod na ko at magre-review pa 'ko.
Pagkatapos kong mag-review ay pumasok ako ng kwarto para maligo at mag-ayos dahil papasok na ko sa trabaho. Nakatanggap pa 'ko ng chat mula kay Alexah, nagsend lang sya ng pictures niya kasama ang ka blockmates nya, nahagip pa si kuya Pierre na nasa pinto at may kausap sa labas ng room nila. Mukhang 'di boring ang gaga.
Nakangiti kong tinapos ang pag-aayos at chineck ang mga gamit sa bahay bago lumabas. Agad akong nakasakay sa taxi pagkalabas ko ng apartment. Medyo maaga pa naman kaya no worries, hindi naman halatang excited ako.
Habang nasa byahe ay pinanood ko ang daan papuntang shop. Napangiwi ako dahil halos puro gusali ang nakikita ko, ni hindi manlang makasilip ang araw dahil sa taas ng mga ito. Na mi-miss ko tuloy naman ang probinsya.
Marami talaga ang kaibahan ng probinsya sa syudad, siguro yung medyo kapareha lang ay kahit papaano may matataas na gusali din sa probinsya namin, hindi nga lang kasing dami, laki, at taas gaya ng nasa syudad. Kaunti lang din ang nakikita kong mga puno na nakatanim sa gilid ng daan.
Pagkarating ko ng shop ay bumaba na 'ko pagkatapos magbayad. I wear my usual smile and enter the shop. Pagkapasok ko ay bumungad sakin ang nakangiting si Terry, ka workmate ko. Nagkakilala kami noong interview at pareho din kaming natanggap.
Nakangiti akong lumapit sa kanya.
Sagot nya habang may ini-encode.
Tumango-tango lang ako at inilibot ang paningin sa loob ng shop.
paalam ko sa kanya at pumasok sa locker room para magbihis ng uniform.
Sa pagiging waitress ako na assign sa unang duty ko, one-week kaming under observation at next week ang official duty namin, medyo hindi pa malaki ang sahod ng mga bagong salta dito, kapag okay daw ang service namin ay dadagdag na 'yon, wala naming problema sakin dahil kung tutuusin, ang swerte ko sa trabahong pinasok ko dahil mabait ang may-ari ng shop.
Lumabas na 'ko ng locker room at dumiretso sa counter para kunin ang notepad at ballpen, hindi na pinansin ang unti-unti pag ingay nang shop dahil may mga nagsi-datingan na ang mga costumer. Lumapit ako kay Terry na nakangiti habang nakatingin sa kung saan.
natatawang tanong ko.
sagot nya sa maliit na tono ng boses habang kinikilig.
tudyo ko.
Tumingin ako sa tinuro nya gamit ang nguso at bahagya akong natigilan.
nagulat ako nang tawagin ako ni Ma'am Barbie, ang assistant manager ng shop.
nauutal kong sagot at mahigpit na hinawakan ang notepad at ballpen habang papalapit sa table 5. Likod pa lang nya, kilala ko na.
