as i rode a taxi on my way to work this morning with three total strangers, i received an sms
from sheryll..." joms, i heard from chico this morning greeting somebody who just passed the CE board exams. the results are out i guess."
i ddnt reply bec i had no load. my heart was panting. as i reached the office. i called her up.
"girl, wla akong load. may internet k db? check mo naman.", kako. " teka may tinitingnan ako para kay neal", she retorted. " ah ganon ba? pasenxa na. cge mmaya na lang". "ito na nga binubuksan na. saan ba?" i told her to look up at inq7 and read a list of courses... "chemical.... civil...*pause 19 lang ang nag-exam??.... *pause.. ay iba to.. tol wala pa results", she finished.
okay but unbelieving.i loaded up as lunch came. "Joel, may results na daw ah". Joel opened inq7...."
..
687 MANALO, MARLON BRYAN GENER ....
At that instant. i ddnt know what to feel. i am sure i am happy about it. finally he did it. i was finding explanation about my strange feeling while eating my longganisa. i texted ryll.
"To: *ryll Message: He passed...
after three spoonfuls, i moved my lunch back to the ref. tried to drink water and went to the balcony. Up the 16F overlooking the roofs and cars passing by. i know that the air is darn hot but i felt chilly. i looked at my phone.
"from: *ryll / Message: Dapat lang. He bears the name of our school. Well, u must b happy. Congratulations?"
"I was sad sheryll. i ddnt eat lunch. nalulungkot ako kasi diko manlang siya ma-congrats".
"I perfectly understand jom. u have to go through thgis painful triumphant moment of h is that u cant be part of any longer.. so u can move on, find and accept someone else in you life who cn love u the way he didnt, so u can be part of his dream, triumphs/failures. u nid this bitter phase to push you to move on.."
im becoming dramatic that this is an important event of his that it affects me.
i went back in the office at 1pm.
