Ako sa Likod ng Ako | Volume 1 - Yugto VI : Ang Babaeng May Barbie Bag

Grabe. Ang bilis ng mga araw. Second week na pala ngayon, pero parang kahapon lang ang unang araw.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB46Gj85nw

"Nay, pasok na ako," wika ko habang kinukuha ang bag ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnwxBgkuIL

Pinagbuksan niya ako ng gate.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQyK0kj5PR

"Ingat," wika niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEVUUk0FgG

"Opo," sagot ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bY3CZYwvh

Naglakad na ako papunta sa TODA.

Nadaanan ko ang Nora Furniture kung saan nagtratrabaho ang papa ni Jim, ang kaklase ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAS6PWZG6y

"Papasok ka na?" tanong ni Tito Joel.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Gtf4hp3F

"Opo," sagot ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTOtqaKZr9

"Sumabay ka na. Papasok na rin naman na sila," wika niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqv3hnxZv0

"Sige po, salamat po," sagot ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4qaLVYPK6

Grabe... nakakahiya naman.

Ang kapal talaga ng mukha mo, Keiyan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R5fvQmoxI

Pero nakakahiya rin naman tumanggi, lalo na’t siya na mismo ang nag-alok.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcokpsAmJRW

Kaya hinintay ko na lang sila.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tdMHghHOT

Habang naghihintay, napatingin ako sa paligid.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOkEoR37Mg

Pareho pa rin naman ang daan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCuY3lNivm

Pareho pa rin ang mga taong dumadaan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbQbSVTErC

Pero ako—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknUbMcz3yq

parang hindi na pareho.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT44XgfBZtP

May kulang.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjryXuQwAS

May hindi na bumabalik.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF5HGOWJnn

Maya-maya, umalis na rin kami.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXMRk1xtRi

Pagdating sa school, dumiretso agad ako sa classroom at naupo sa upuan ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKlmY2mrYW

Tahimik lang.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlCQd3iCrC

Gaya ng dati.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VBm5EN0sn

Pero sa katahimikan na iyon—

hindi na siya katulad ng dati.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb5JvT6I74

Dati, tahimik ako kasi gusto ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj2wVXA12U

Ngayon, tahimik ako kasi… hindi ko alam kung paano magsimula ulit.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSFcmjS3HY

Hindi ko alam kung paano maging ako,

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDzE3S3JHE

nang wala si Tatay.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmulVdO16ES

Minsan naiisip ko—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5GSVY9nys

kung nandito siya, anong sasabihin niya?

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmbFEQJvYS

Siguro sasabihin niya,

“Makisama ka, Nak. Huwag kang mahiya.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVfOfKkg2D

Siguro tatawa pa siya habang sinasabi iyon.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAJil97uMj

Pero wala na siya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelidewHCX5

Kaya ako na lang mag-isa ang sumasagot sa sarili kong tanong.

At sa totoo lang…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gsLEbMbu2

hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang mga sagot ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvOMO5ZXw8

Pero may napansin ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ3bqqgpDH

May isang bag sa kabilang dulo ng row ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK1NdyaAf3

Kulay pink.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaoWbywy3x

May design na Barbie.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0nL12VNjI

Medyo kakaiba siya kumpara sa ibang bag.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzrXcluELq

Parang… may sariling kwento.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdTqC4luBx

"Sayo ba ’yan, Zoe?" tanong ni Mila.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1sR0W4Tu7

"Hindi ah," sagot ni Zoe.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iSUsRKJpz

Pinag-uusapan nila.

Pero walang nakakaalam kung kanino iyon.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooc6lXALjR

Hanggang sa—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe3S7pqnwH

Nag-bell.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ph2TRfrF

At doon ko siya unang nakita.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBJR3VVwlU

Tahimik siyang pumasok sa classroom.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL6jXbLdnW

Diretso sa upuan niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTnCBzt7eH

Siya ang may-ari ng Barbie bag.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiM4xLt1VL

Hindi siya nagsalita.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfAxH0fqEu

Hindi siya ngumiti.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGr7LOFj9z

Umupo lang siya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLFqRp27k6

Tahimik.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmOuy6fEBp

Parang ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngP4HEQXya

Pero iba.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrGTNWKU4j

Hindi ko maipaliwanag… pero may kakaiba sa kanya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5qhYvpYiO

Parang may dala siyang mundo na hindi ko pa naiintindihan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYaZ9NS2OE

Paminsan-minsan tumitingin siya sa paligid.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zeqW5nuqe

Parang nag-oobserba.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWARxvDTz9

Parang sinusubukan niyang hanapin kung saan siya lulugar.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsCVbBA3Gh

At sa hindi ko malamang dahilan—

napapatingin ako sa kanya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYVSLaEeqI

Hindi kami nag-usap noong araw na iyon.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFBjIcP4Td

Natapos lang ang klase na parang normal na araw.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vuiln5wgX

Pero hindi siya normal sa akin.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVSV5PgfUM

Kinabukasan, ganoon pa rin.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaBQUJCNHv

Tahimik lang ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFwNOdcwu3

Nanonood lang sa gilid.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIhmhfXFVP

Simula first day, ganoon na ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuayKqDus8K

Paminsan-minsan kinakausap ako nina Mika at Marc.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HHZCGIh1k

Pero madalas—ako lang.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqiUEDykLk

Habang nakaupo ako, may tumigil sa harap ng desk ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow5XMJl3u6

Pagtingin ko—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9jyinWJJ6

siya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg9eEsRDFf

Ang babaeng may Barbie bag.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOSf0xOuMf

“Hello,” sabi niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQOSI24ZBA

Hindi agad ako nakasagot.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sVOcIz1x4

Parang may humarang sa lalamunan ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cwwvQcpFh

“Ano pangalan mo?” tanong niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6n5ze0F7b

“Keiyan,” sagot ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc3Ks85IQ8

Ngumiti siya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8GTgTiyqV

Simple lang.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaBmZbATuL

Pero totoo.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j8gMZP83B

“Bakit ang tahimik mo?”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBONwNB0sv

Napatingin siya sa mga kaklase namin.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwmO88HQ6f

“Hindi ka ba nila kinakausap?”

Umiling lang ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf4sWqofNq

Bigla siyang lumingon sa kanila.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBvA6TDQ7R

“Hoy, bakit di niyo kinakausap si Keiyan?” sabi niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoPgV8CyDA

“Nakausap ko na ’yan ah,” sabi ni June.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyQKLqDgqj

“Hindi kasi siya nagsasalita,” dagdag ni Rose.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyRDwZL8nU

Napatingin ulit siya sa akin.

Ngumiti.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD4YK6JdIc

“Okay lang ’yan,” sabi niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTljf8tbsz

“Friends na tayo ah.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K2Wv6Zhv2

"Friends?"

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PyFqx0Yez

"Bakit, ayaw mo ba?"

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYFmG6HXT6

Saglit akong natahimik.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGaKrL7w6C

Hindi dahil ayaw ko—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVkzwNQHEw

kundi dahil hindi ako sanay.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjTIXwqZu5

"Gusto," mahina kong sagot.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuxJeTplro

"So mula ngayon, friends na tayo."

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVh732iyJV

Hindi ko alam kung bakit—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH1bhe9Mu1

pero natawa ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0tjos33ao

Konti lang.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk3fxsb1p7

Pero totoo.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXcFjFVWgH

At sa sandaling iyon—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDk8FuIZvh

parang may maliit na ilaw na muling sindi sa loob ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuILgMSS7m

Matagal-tagal na rin simula noong huli akong natawa nang ganito.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS0dlGr9vR

Yung hindi pilit.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLZzff24n6

Yung hindi dahil kailangan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xwc8tIK2R

Yung kusa lang dumating.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Oon8Jhox

At sa simpleng salitang “friends”—

parang may nabuksan na pinto.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS6wLbRjWV

Pinto na matagal ko nang isinara.

At ngayon…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SH2VJbR7H

unti-unti ko ulit itong binubuksan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokVkMkzwaJ

Kahit natatakot pa rin ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvPcWgCZ9a

"Keiyan, doon ka kina Rose," wika ni Ma’am Magdalena.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJvrpy48my

"Mag-a-activity tayo."

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xqrwO8jir

"Hello," sabi ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPykGfgTID9

"Hi," sagot ni Rose.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQEvYbYxLc

"Yon, nagsalita na siya!" sabi ni June.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3wbxnVYnt

"Beh, minsan makisama ka naman," dagdag ni Rose.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xNq1HCCtw

Ngumiti lang ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNPlwOvPRb

Habang ginagawa namin ang puzzle—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIW5wrk2Xs

Hindi ko alam kung napapansin niya.

Pero sa tuwing napapatingin ako sa kanya—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0hqNnSdkl

may kakaibang pakiramdam.

Hindi yung kilig.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLJ3gFpwtH

Hindi rin yung curiosity lang.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7SnY6AavT

Parang…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvfSs3EDKL

kapanatagan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7wu7vV9vD

Na kahit papaano—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg88jnLApVJ

may isang taong hindi ako tinitingnan bilang “yung batang nawalan ng tatay.”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YtqJEzgVB

Kundi bilang… ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNC21JeEgA

Hindi ko alam kung bakit.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLnGmtVPTL

Siguro dahil siya yung unang lumapit.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwYddHxmyq

Lumipas ang mga araw.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPBbGPRoR4

Unti-unti kaming nagkakausap.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiawXJgXyzZ

Minsan tungkol sa assignments.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxvXYFsRfu

Minsan tungkol sa teachers.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOqxW5Lu4A

Minsan wala lang—kwentuhan lang.

Hanggang sa…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xWG7tVeVB

Naging sabay na kami kumain sa recess.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jVAnY5MOs

Hindi ko namalayan kung kailan nagsimula—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7w7z6CqGh

pero nasanay na ako na lagi siyang nandiyan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpE0SQUKib

At unti-unti—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Naez3Zjg

nagbago ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfe8LhNbTn

Dati, tahimik lang ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk6fXYXpHg

Ngayon—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpWAdDwzz5

napapatawa na niya ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijxEpzXFfP

"Alam mo, mas maingay ka pa sa akin," sabi niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrYfOGiuMz

"Di ah!" sagot ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C2rOnprXv

"Ngek ngek mo," wika niya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngvlBeHpIe

"Anong ngek ngek? Kwek kwek?" sagot ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5oxIuLOlF

Natawa siya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMoOPfY4xf

"Ano nga baka mamaya minumura mo na ako?"

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoflGeuhzT

At doon—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyzMR1Z34U

natawa rin ako nang mas malakas kaysa dati.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MeeVCeXUs

Hindi pilit.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMmwAnwXCu

Hindi fake.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIfw94JkNW

Totoo.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsWeNpmVCg

At sa bawat araw na lumilipas—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdjBlXIpiE

unti-unti kong nararamdaman na hindi pala kailangan na manatili ako sa lungkot.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bj2mroiJI

Hindi ibig sabihin na tumawa ako…

nakalimutan ko na siya.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakzxQTs4VX

Hindi ibig sabihin na masaya ako…

hindi ko na siya mahal.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi0XCL4oHt

Siguro…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0u86AhCXd

ganito lang talaga ang buhay.

Kahit may nawala—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkKPy00ODp

tuloy pa rin.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeks6oAH5M2

Lumipas ang dalawang buwan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlNs46MtWe

At sa loob ng panahong iyon—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSKwnlR9iG

hindi lang kami naging magkaibigan.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm6Xodhta8

Naging bahagi siya ng araw ko.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvSTpz6BTl

Naging dahilan kung bakit kahit papaano—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHSS6niJpI

kaya ko ulit pumasok.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1BbENeeYs

Kung tutuusin—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2hyZ83Li2

si Hana ang unang taong nagpalabas sa totoong ako.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpdmTcEdW6

Yung ako na marunong tumawa.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2EGDOjY6d

Yung ako na hindi lang puro tahimik.

Pero…

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJNUCag1E

hindi ko alam—

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWa3SvYu6t

na sa likod ng bagong saya na iyon,

may paparating na naman na pagbabago.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe08ggASKI

Isang pagbabago na muli na namang susubok sa akin.

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtzLEc0nr1

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfz7k0h89z

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0PJad7MCO
