Chapter Nine.One
Maaga akong nagising kinaumagahan.
I don't know how to tend my puffy eyes or my nose feeling so thick.Never pa naman yata akong umiyak magmula ng tumuntong ako dito,the last time was when I was just a child.It seems funny,Maggie is the cause of it, ngayon ,siya parin.Inirapan ko ang nakalagay na apilyidong ginagamit ko sa isang rectangular wood para matukoy ng head mistress kung kanino ba ang room.Torres ang nakalagay doon dahil nga ayoko ng Aldridge.I wonder now kung ano nga bang apelyido ang gagamitin ko kasi parehas mabaho ang dalawa.Madilim pa ng umalis ako sa room dala ang bag at ang kaunting gamit.Dahil hanggang ngayon ay hindi gumagana ang utak ko,sa library ako tumuloy para subukang mag-aral sinubukan ko naman na i-divert ang atensyon ko pero natatamad na nga yata ang utak ko sa paulit-ulit na hindi pagsunod sa mismong katawan kaya heto at natutulala na lang ako.Bakit nga ba ako nakuha ni Maggie?Tatay ko ba si Clinton Aldridge o baka hindi niya nga ako tunay naKaugnay na kabanata

Naikunot ko ang noo ko sa sinabi niya."For the ...whole week?"inilahad niya sa akin ang office kung nasaan siya kanina.I stared at his first gray suit in front of me.Maybe this is the one who gave off the aura.He's in a little lighter mood as we go there ,in the office.However I still have my mind with the matter, it's a whole week.Did he know that this is a School ,ang magbigay ng whole week na off ay ... magbibigay lang ng rush na trabaho both from teachers and students.Ano na nga ba dapat ang ginagawa namin ngayon?Malapit na ang evaluation at papunta na kami sa third quarter.Next month November na tapos December which is .. both month have off days .We can't be slacking aren't we?I watch how his brown leather shoe goes off well with his attire as I think of it.Pagilid kong tinignan ang iba pang nasa office at napansin na masakit nga lang sa mata ang liwanag na kumakalat kanina kaya siguro gano'n ako.Right!However,I can't help but really nod my head when he's b

"So? That's how it works?"tumango ako at binalikan ang mga sinabi niya sa utak ko.He's not connected with my mother.He only wanted the land.And he gave me the School in order to get my approval to give him the land...because i own that land ...and yeah!Maybe i really own it."I need to talk to my father"i said for a fact.I know it will boil down with this kase kailangan ko parin namang makasiguro sa lahat.Tumango siya at inilapit sa akin ang bucket ng chicken pero inilingan ko 'yon."I'm already full"mahinang sabi ko habang inuubos ang isang hawak.Dumating ang pagkain pagkatapos kong maka-recover sa pagkashock.Itinabi niya ang lahat ng nasa table sa ibabaw ng isang aparador bago kami nag-umpisang kumain.That is right.Kasama ko siyang kumain ngayon. Everything is weirding me out. The scene,the happenings.The way he eat with me like it's all okay,the way he do things and his...attitude towards me."You can eat a lot Caza"ngumiti ako ng mapansin niya ang pagbalik ng tingin ko sa bucke

Sa isang restaurant ang meet up nila.Ansel told me his mom wanted to see him before she goes out of the country with her husband.His father can't join us dahil nakausap na daw siya ni Ansel."Are you nervous?"nilingon ko si Ansel na parang natutuwa pa na pinapanood ako.I wasn't nervous when i saw him the first time dahil madalas naman na tuwing bumibisita ako noon sa amin may dala ang mga magulang at isa kong kapatid na hindi ko kilala.I got use to seeing new faces every now and then and so i got used to it.I shake my head to deny it.However,kinabahan nga ako ng kaunti ng sabihin niya 'yon sa'kin kanina ng papaalis kami sa mansiyon.Maybe that's why he's been asking me that as we travel with his mom's choice of restaurant."You don't have to worry Caza"he assured me at last when the car stop.I pursed my lips when he even open the door for me,itinago ko ang pagbubuntong hininga ko habang papasok kami ng restaurant when he suddenly chuckled.I once again saw his eyes shine with amusement

"Mom are you sure Dad is here?"ang natanong ni Ansel ng magpahinto ang mama niya sa tapat mismo ng company nila.Tumango ang mama niya sa kanya at nililingon kami sa likod niya ,nakasunod."He should be here.Sabi niya may ichecheck pa daw siya sa sinabi mo bago kami tumulak bukas ng umaga"huminto kami sa entrance ng building .We stand facing his mom who always have smile on her face.Tumango-tango si Ansel."I already said that it was all set"ngumisi lang din ang mama niya at nagkibit-balikat."You know him .He wanted it perfect"ng lumipat ang tingin niya sakin ay Inilahad niya ang kamay niya.I glance at Ansel before stepping forward to reach her.She envelop me with a comfortable hug."Ansel have something for you as well"she whispered on my ear before letting me go."You said you'll be very busy at something so we'll take care of the company until you come back"she smiled."It was nice spending my time with you Azazel—"she tilted her head asking for more.Natuliro ako ng kaunti ng makuh

I really badly wanted to get out.Sa lahat ng mga nasa utak ko na walang ibang nagiging direksyon,mga isipin na parang walang patutunguhan,isa lang ang malinaw sa'kin,isa lang ang ginusto kong mangyari.Gusto kong umalis.Surely there were people know me as Azazel Aldridge but i don't know if i'll be ever to meet them again outside.Surely,there's a chance that they will see me outside as somebody else but there's a greater chance they will never remember me and if i will never be introduced as an Aldridge then maybe they will never ,ever remember me at all.I can live in the province or in an island just so i'll be off to too many people.Pagkatapos no'n Azazel,ano na?Gusto ko ng panibagong katauhan so...,should i abandon my own name?Just to make sure?I know there's a part of me that keeps on saying i should leave everything for me to be really comfortable with a new life ahead of all of it pero may pakiramdam din akong huwag na lang dahil pagiging Aldridge ko lang naman ang problema k

Nginisihan ko siya sa sinabi niya.He run his eyes on my face in a second before glancing at the field behind his new office.Sa ginawa niya ay napuna ko tuloy ang mga bagay na nakita ko sa nagdaang araw."I only saw you today?Ilang araw na noong sinabi mong ito ang aasikasuhin mo?Can i know how you do that?I didn't even see you getting off"i get out of the library at 6:00 for a couple of times to see if he really was there pero wala talaga akong nakita na anino niya.I get curious if he's already acting as the School Director.Naka-indian seat siya sa bermuda, ginagaya ako.I am wearing my P.E uniform while he wears ,well ..casual na sa tingin ko, unusual kumpara sa palaging suot niya.I just find him wearing his light aura today other than his sky blue long sleeve and a gray pants with a white sneakers.Somehow , adds a light up in this hot weather.It doesn't feel like his a boss and running a multi-billion company.I though then, he's here in the school when he should be running his busin

"Well?"Well what? Get to know?How to get to know?How to do that?It rings in my head for a couple of times before it glided smoothly on my tongue."Get to .. know .. you?"i ask and slowly wondered.How will i know that I'm already getting to know a person?Ilang araw ko na bang kakilala si Ansel?A month already. Dumeretso ang tingin ko sa papalubog ng araw.Is it really been a month?That was fast.And wow!I survived a whole month with a guy."Would you like to get to know me?"Nilingon ko siya at tinitigan.I didn't know that i can survive a month with some stranger?I only know him as Ansel Millano , billionaire,and my .. father's business partner.. well not yet but still..but why does his question just sound so weird to me?"Caza?""Hmm?"i notice he change his position.Hinarap ko siya para makita na nakaharap na siya ng tuluyang tumingin sa'kin.The shadow of the tree is "Uh..?"How did i get to know Ada? I'm.. We've known each other for three years..almost three years.I like how she's a t
