Pinalabas niya ako sa silid-aralan dahil may ibibigay siyang kung ano. Hindi pwedeng Makita ng iba naming kamag-aral. Pagkalabas ko ay iniabot niya sa akin ang isang maliit na kahon na may puso. Muntikan akong maluha pero pinigilan ko. Di ko agad binuksan ang kahon. Niyakap ko lang siya at nagpasalamat.
Nagkasalubong ulit kami sa may malapit sa hagdan. Kinausap niya saglit ang mga kasama ko. Tinapik niya lang ako sa balikat bago magpaalam. Sinubukan ko siyang habulin pero hindi ko naabutan.
Umupo na lang ako sa isang tabi. Napagpasiyahan kong silipin ang laman ng kahon. Bumungad sa’kin ang isang relos. Ito ay kulay itim at si Mickey Mouse ang disenyo.
Magkahalong saya at lungkot ang naramdaman ko. Masaya dahil hindi niya ako nalimutang bigyan ng isang bagay na makakapagpaalala sa kanya at malungkot sapagkat sa tuwing titignan ko ang relos ay maiisip kong dalawang taon siyang mawawala at magkaiba na ang aming lokasyon.
Sa tingin ko kaya niya ako binigyan ng relos ay para matandaan kong di dapat ako nahuhuli sa klase. Binigyan niya din ako ng oras para maghanda sa nalalpit niyang pag-alis at maaaring sa muli niyang pagbabalik.
Saglit na Pagsasama
Nakaupo kami sa gawing dulo ng lugar. Dumating ang inanyayahan namin. Nahihiya siyang pumasok dahil marami sa kasama naming ang hindi niya kilala. Pagkaupong-pagkaupo niya ay pinagpapawisan siya ng butyl butil. Nagpalit sila ng pwesto ng kasama ko at tumabi siya sa akin.
Matipid siyang magsalita. Kapag tinitignan ko siya ay napapansin ko ang kagwapuhan niya. Siya ay medyo singkit, matangos ang ilong, mayroong malalim na puyo sa magkabilang pisngi at magandang mga ngipin. Sabi niya hwag ko daw siyang tunawin sa mga titig ko. Yung kasama ko napagkatuwaan siyang amuyin, mabango naman daw. Pangiti-ngiti lang siya at minsan ay nakikisabad sa usapan.
Ang kanyang braso ay magkakrus na para bang ipinahihiwatig na ilang siya sa amin. Inalis ko sa ganung posisyon ang mga braso niya at kumapit ako sa kanyang braso. Ginawa ko yun para maging kumportable siya. Hinayaan niya naman ako.
Masaya kaming umiinom. Hindi pa naman ganoon kalakas ang tama namin subalit kailangan na naming umalis sapagkat magsasara na ang Tapsi. Mabait siya dahil hinatid niya ako sa sakayan. Pagkababa naming sa dyipni ay inilapit niya ang kanyang braso na para bang nag-aalok na ako’y kumapit muli. Medyo nagreklamo siya kasi may kalayuan ang estasyon ng bus.
Hinalikan ko siya sa pisngi bago kami magpaalam sa isa’t-isa. Sinusulyapan ko na lang siya mula sa bintana ng bus habang papalayo. Hindi ko inaasahang mapapasaya niya ako sa gabing iyon.
