Nakatingin lang si Aoi sa labas ng bintana ng coffee shop. Kaninang umaga pa lang lumapag ang eroplanong sinakyan nila papunta dito sa Pilipinas. Hapon na ngayon ngunit hindi pa rin matapos-tapos ang pagkamangha niya sa paligid. Puro mga nakangiti ang mga taong nakikita niya. Tila wala silang mga problema dahil sa gaan ng aura nila. Malayong malayo sa kinagisnan niya sa Barcelona, Spain.

"Aoi!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRDokcG5RZ
Napaigtad siya nang bigla siyang tawagin ng malakas ng mommy niya. Nawala sa isip niyang kasama niya pala ito ngayon while her dad's in the hotel, resting. She apologetically looked at her.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNv8nIg8Ch
"Estás conmigo? Esta usted escuchando? (Are you with me? Are you even listening?)"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9F3FIgINz
"Lo siento. (Sorry)." she winced. "es solo eso, el lugar era tan molesto. Qué estabas diciendo mamá? (Nakakadistract lang po kasi yung place. What were you saying mom?)"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFttv5JB99B
"About your study."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpEkice1zA
She mentally rolled her eyes. She's in the fourth year in high school. Sa Espanya naman talaga niya balak magtapos ng high school, but due to their business, kinailangan na nilang lumipat sa Canada dahil may kailangang asikasuhin ang parents nya doon. Masaya rin sa part niya kahit papaano na pansamantala silang lumipat sa Canada dahil doon niya rin balak mag college.
Ngunit sa kasamaang palad ay iiwanan sya ng parents niya dito sa Pilipinas kung saan ang kuya niya.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAnSn0dzLz
And about her studying here in Philippines, it's all her brother's fault. She doesn't want to study here in the first place.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFanL6eLf0l
Sino ba naman kasi ang baliw na gugustuhing tumira dito?! Eh alien ang mga tao dito. Ang hihirap intindihin!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5HNqqVuwk
Ambassador ang papa niya at business woman naman ang mama niya. May kumpanya sila sa ibat ibang bansa at marami syang napupuntahang lugar kaya natututo syang magsalita ng ibat ibang lungguwahe.
Matalino sya at halos lahat ng language ay alam niya except sa isa. Ang Filipino language at kahit kailan ay wala syang balak mag-aral at matutong magsalita ng filipino.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGmm6V5xem
Her mother sighed. "As I was saying, you have to work while you study here. You must work hard. And 'never' will I know you're blabbering on like this."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP2ymCYrJH
Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa gulat. "Qué?! Seré un estudiante que trabaja? (What?! Will I be a working student?!)"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yhO4m25m2
Her mom nodded. Hell no!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjVXSoy7hW
"But mom—"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn00UkrOHn
"That's final. In the job you want to get into in the future, your older brother is right, you really need to learn a lot first. Remember the condition," tiningnan siya nito ng seryoso. "you need to prove us that you can already live independently. On. your. own. And after you finish your high school here, okay, you're free to fly in States and enter that school you've been talking about."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKbUTDcrOo
Nalukot ang mukha niya. Her brother is really a pain in the ass. Damn him and his suggestion!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2baAe6GL3
Now, she needs to live her life here for one year. And worst, she needs to work for f-ck's sake! Matagal-tagal ding paghihirap 'yun.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSO4KvMWxH
Ito kasi ang nagsuggest sa mommy at daddy nila na kailangan niya munang patunayan na kaya na niya bago siya makakapag-aral sa school sa States kung saan nag-aaral ang mga tulad niya. Bukod kasi sa mga mga magulang nila ay isa pa itong tutol sa trabahong gusto niya. Nakakainis talaga ang mokong na 'yon! Buwisit!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYkt23GQFj
"Are we clear?" her mother asked.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf67BhkfTw
"Por qué es necesario estar aquí en Filipinas? (Why is it necessary to be here in the Philippines?)Why not States directly?" pangungulit pa niya.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Fl8km6aS
Her mother sipped its coffee before speaking. "You will not have a hard time there. Besides, we might just find out that you are already studying at the school you say we do not know"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA8C4AeUSX
"But, mom! I don't want it here. Didn't you know that all people here are aliens?!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT7Jrx4gBQ
Pinanlakihan siya ng mata ng mommy niya. "Your mouth!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hyP5nuqMJ
Natigilan siya. Dahan-dahan niyang inilibot ang paningin sa loob ng coffee shop at nakita niya ang mga matatalim na tingin sa kaniya ng mga nakarinig.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa8k1fRhMR
They heard it! And they understand it! Damn! I'm doomed!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCmjNTEy03
Awkward silence. "Just kidding. He-he-he" She gulped and avoided their gaze.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19vp36daS3
Pagkatingin niya sa ina ay masama rin ang tingin nito sa kaniya.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvdDfUgqB0
She pouted. "pero esa es la verdad (But that's the truth)." mas hininaan pa niya ang boses at siniguradong silang dalawa lang ang makakarinig. "They talk like an alien."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zcZliUqhU
Her mother face palmed. Para bang nagtuturo ito sa isang four years old na bata pero pasaway. "It's their language for heaven's sake."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdnRUk9EGH
Tumahimik na lang siya. Baka mamaya ay may masabi na naman siya hindi na siya makakabas dito ng buhay.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCX874AQNl
"And one more thing, your older brother is also here."
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY29Btgr3L
She sighed in defeat. "That idiot." she rolled her eyes. "And worst, he's training to be an idol in one of the entertainments there without us knowing?!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdoghnNuz5
Napailing na lang ang mommy niya. Siguro nakukulitan na sa kaniya dahil mula nung tumawag kanina yung kuya niya ay nakailang ulit na niyang nasabi ang mga salitang 'yan.
Nagpapadyak pa siya sa sahig.

KASALUKUYAN siyang nagda-drive ng kakabili niya lang ng motor na gagamitin niya habang nandito sa Pilipinas. Pupunta siya ngayon sa mall para magpaalis ng boredom. Pagkabalik kasi nila kanina sa hotel galing sa coffee shop ay wala na siyang ibang ginawa kundi ang manood lang ng tv. Kaya naisipan niyang gumala muna. Total bukas pa naman sila bibyahe papuntang Manila, sa magiging condo niya.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CqkXLTizJ
Sa gitna ng pagmamaneho, biglang may isang binatang tumatawid sa di kalayuan. Binusinahan niya ito ngunit parang wala itong naririnig. Bigla siyang nataranta dahil alam niyang mabilis pa naman siyang magpatakbo. Wala pa rin siyang tigil sa pagbusina.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bs9UI3uLu
Ilang metro na lang ang layo nila ng binata at dala ng kaba, takot, at taranta ay bigla siyang napapreno at bigla itong napalingon. Huminto ang motor isang metro mula sa binata.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHapnBbLotL
Inis na tinanggal niya ang kaniyang helmet. "Oye! Qué?! Huirás ?! Estúpido! Si quieres suicidarte, no te identifiques con otras personas! (Hoy! Ano ba?! Magpapasagasa ka?! Ulol! Kung magpapakamatay ka, 'wag mo akong idamay!)"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBFx3ctpby
Nakatingin din ito sa kaniya ng masama na para bang papatayin na siya. "Alien! Papatayin mo ba ako?! Hindi mo ba nakikitang may tumatawid na tao dito?! Alam mo, miss, kung magpapakamatay ka, wag mo akong idamay!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenW43H9ObW
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbIUmAVnQz
Pakiramdam niya ay biglang sumabog ang isa sa mga brain cells niya. What is he talking about?!
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLrHEdaTZG
Ngumiwi siya sa mga tinuran nito. Yeah right, I forgot there's an aliens living in here.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn31tA0r6jQ
"Oye alienígena! De qué estás hablando?! Estamos en la Tierra, locos! No en Marte, no en Júpiter, no en Plutón, no estamos en tu planeta para que digas eso! (Hoy alien! Ano ba 'yang mga pinagsasasabi mo?! Nasa Earth tayo, ulol! Wala sa Mars, wala sa Jupiter, wala sa pluto, wala tayo sa planeta mo para magsalita ka ng ganyan!)" sigaw niya dito.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwSi78OUwA
Sobrang inis ang nararamdaman niya. Kaskasera pa naman siyang magdrive. Paano kung hindi siya nakapagpreno agad at nasagasaan ito? Edi siya ang dehado, konsensya na nga niya, makukulong pa siya. Alangan namang maghit and run siya? Ulol.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzLHFXMDuT
"What a bitch! Pwede bang magsalita ka ng maayos?! Wag mong gamitin sakin yang alien language mo!" huminto muna ito at tiningnan siya ng masama. "At ang kapal nga naman ng mukha. Hindi man lang nagsorry!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRhJ0Kzzhg
Tinaasan niya lang ito ng isang kilay. Walang patutunguhan ang usapan nilang ito. Wala talaga dahil hindi naman sila nagkakaintindihan.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsbn2UlihS
"Peste!" Sigaw nito sa kaniya nang mapansing hindi siya magsasalita.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasy9scx9Aj
Mas tumalim ang tinginan nila. Mukhang tumitibok na ang mga ugat niya sa utak sa mga pinagsasabi ng lalaking ito.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnJNryP93n
Napabuntong hininga na lang siya.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshc21U31O9
"imbécil. Me estás haciendo perder el tiempo. (Dimwit. You're just wasting my time.)" sumenyas pa siya ng parang nagtataboy ng aso para kahit papaano ay maiparating niya ang gusto niya. "You go!You! You shooo! Shoo!"
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEw0KnKU2a
Sinimulan na niyang paandarin ang motor niya kung kaya't tiningnan muna siya nito ng mas matalim bago gumilid. Ngunit hindi pa nakakalayo ay inihinto niya ang kaniyang motor at nilingon ito.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnu6LubnNr
"Mahal kita!" sigaw niya dito at iniwagayway pa dito ang kamay niya saka ngumisi ng nang-aasar.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwLALZcK9J
Narinig niya yun sa mag-asawang nakasabay nila sa eroplano kanina. Ngunit sa kasulok-sulukan ng isip niya ay hindi din niya alam ang ibig sabihin nun.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHBs0VK39N
Bakas naman ang magkahalong gulat sa mukha ng binata. Ngunit hindi din yun nagtagal at namutawi na ng inis.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz60dOcyGK
Bago pa siya makaalis ay tumuro pa ang dalawang daliri nito sa sariling mga mata bago siya itinuro gamit ang mga ito at binigyan siya ng hindi-pa-tayo-tapos-look.
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpcaiIrxdd
Inirapan niya lang ito bago siya umalis. Yun ay kung magkikita pa sila.
