49 Days

1979 Days: Luna

August 5, 2017

Putcha, late na ako. Muli kong tinignan yung wrist watch ko na kahit ano namang tingin ko dito ay hindi titigil ang oras, ni maibalik ito ay hindi ko magagawa. Ang malas naman, pagdating ko sa school kaka-akyat lang ng elevator, hindi ko na kaya maghintay kahit na may 15mins. pa naman ako bago magsimula yung next subject. 4th floor lang naman eh, tinahak ko na yung hagdan kahit na tamad na tamad ako. Putchang hangover to, alak na alak kasi ako to the point na kahit may pasok o kahit araw-araw basta may inom go ako.

"Oh, buhay ka pa pala! Akala ko di kana papasok eh" bati sakin ng bestfriend ko na si Anika (Nika) pagpasok ko ng classroom. I immediately scan the room, not actually scan it but look at my 2 usual spot. My first usual spot, which is at the very back was occupied by my other friend, Charmaine (CM). I looked at my 2nd usual spot, next to my bestfriend which is 2nd row before the very back, some random guy was... not just sitting but sleeping on that. Napag-desisyunan ko na yung random guy nalang yung aagawan ko ng spot, since tago yung spot na yun unlike sa first spot ko kasi kahit nasa pinaka likod yun nasa center naman, yung 2nd spot ko is natatakpan ng mga classmate ko kaya pag natulog ako hindi ako kita. I walk in front of the random guy and pushed him hard on the back. Inangat nya yung ulo nya, naniniwala ba kayo sa slowmo? Because now I do, everything became slow motion to me, tinignan nya ako sa mapupungay nyang mata dahil kakagising nya lang at nginitian nya ako and boy oh boy, he looked so fine as fuck.

"Bakit?" I was stunned, nakatitig lang ako sa kanya, examining his whole face, not uttering a single word and just staring at his face not minding if I'm looking stupid in front of this random guy.

"Okay class settle down now, Ms. Cruz please take a sit" nung na special mention, ako dun lang ako natauhan.

"That's my seat" ngumiti lang sya sakin at tumayo, he motioned for me to sit, so I did. Nagulat lang ako dahil he carried another empty chair and sat next to me. Nagsimula ang klase at nagsimula na din akong pasimpleng natulog habang nag le-lecture yung teacher namin. Nagising lang ako dahil may tumatapik sakin.

"Be, gising! Be! Gising..." someone was also aggressively whispering to me. I looked at my bestfriend and saw the urgency in her face.

"May quiz recitation kay ma'am!" nagsimula na syang magtingin sa notes nya and me? I was left dumbfounded... inom pa Luna! You'll definitely fail this class... for sure! I was frantic because I didn't even listen to today's lecture because I was sleeping! And I can't rely on my bestfriend's notes because it was incomplete. She was lucky because when it was her turn, the answer was still on her notes. And now, it was my turn. Nung tinawag ako halata sa mukha ko yung panic. Nagtanong na yung teacher namin and hindi pa din ako tumatayo.

"Ms. Cruz" I was about to stand up and just tell her na I am sorry I didn't know the answer when that random guy held my wrist that was resting in my table and because of that he caught my attention and I looked at him, inangat nya ang ulo nya and uttered "July 04, 1946" my faces says it all. I was doubtful. Hindi ako naniniwala sa sagot nya.

"Ms. Cruz for the last time, kung wala kang sagot magtatawag na ako ng next" hindi ko maibaling ang tingin ko sa iba, tanging sa mukha nya lang na nagsasabi saking pagkatiwalaan ko sya.

"Ms. Cruz" tumango sya sakin at ngumiti uli. "Ma'am M, may sagot po sya" yung random guy na yung sumagot para sakin, that left me no choice but to stood up at binitawan nya ang pagkakahawak sakin.

"The Philippines gained independence from America on July 4th of 1946" "Correct, you may now sit down" at nagtawag na uli yung teacher namin. Muli akong tumingin kay random guy and he was now sleeping again.

Hindi na ako nakatulog at nakatulala nalang sa kawalan, nabalik lang ako sa katinuan nung tinapik ako ng bestfriend ko dahil tapos na ang klase namin at lunch time na. Tinignan ko din si Random guy and next to me was just an empty seat. I grabbed my wallet and followed my bestfriend to the cafeteria.

"Be, sino yun?" tanong ko kay Nika na busy-ing busy sa pagtingin ng mga pagpipilian na pagkain sa cafeteria at habang ngumangata.

"Hmm?? Sino?" tanong nya pabalik sakin habang nasa bibig pa nya ang turon na kinakain nya.

"Yung lalaking katabi ko kanina" she looked at me puzzled, actually I can see ghost, she knows it pero yung lalaki kanina I was sure na hindi sya multo because when he touched me he was warm, plus, nung sinagot nya si ma'am M tumango si ma'am M. it took minutes pero na realize din ng bestfriend ko kung sino yung tinutukoy ko.

"Ah, si Altair?" I looked at her confused. Kasi kung tignan nya ako ngayon parang, supposedly kilala ko yung random guy na yon.

"Seriously?" yung tingin talaga sakin nitong si Nika eh parang tinutubuan ako ng mushroom sa noo. Tumango nalang ako

"Si Altair! Friend ng mga kaklase natin ngayon! Classmate nila ng grade 11! Supposedly kaklase din natin na late lang ng enroll kaya naiba ng section, laging nasa classroom natin, kilala na nga ng lahat eh and actually close na din ng lahat kahit yung mga hindi nya naging kaklase nung grade 11" sagot nya naman sakin kahit na busy-ing busy ako sa pagpili ng kakainin ko.

"Dun ka mali, hindi mo pwedeng sabihin na kilala sya ng lahat dahil di ko sya kilala. Would I ask you if I know him? Kung kilala ko sya?" she looked at me dead in the eye, iniwas ko yung tingin ko at binayaran na ang pagkain na napili ko.

"Pano mo nga naman kasi sya makikilala? Eh laging kang tulog dahil lagi kang lasing pag pumapasok!" She rolled her eyes to me and we both walk back to our classroom. That's actually touche, how would I know the person kung lagi nga akong tulog? Nagpatuloy na yung araw namin and the whole time, nag re-replay sa utak ko yung mata at ngiti nya.
