Episode 1: Unforgettable Visit
I fall asleep 7:45pm because I attended a kid’s party and I’m so tired that I have to sleep too early. Beauty’s moaning outside awakened me… and then I checked my phone, it’s 12 midnight. It seems that I can’t read those new messages…my sight blurring and I’m still unconscious. New number appeared, 7 missed calls from a new number, time check pass 8…I reject it. I open those messages and 1 of it triggers me. A message from him saying “angat mo phone moh, this is me, “itachi”… That call was the most important call I’ve ever waited for so long. I think I missed his call… I did my best to send him message try to cope with his call and presence that night. After a while, somebody is calling. Uchiha Itachi…
“Hello!”, in an uttered voice… “hello, kumusta ka na? si itachi to, ngayon lang ako nakatawag kc dko alam number mo…binigay lang ni utol kanina, pumunta kc ako dun for a visit and he asked a favor to call you.
“Ha? Okey lang po ako… talaga??? I thought he’d forgotten me already. Kumusta na po si sasuke kun? siguro dami ng nagbago sa kanya…tumangkad na siguro sya.hehehe”, sunud sunod tanung ko, na halos di na niya alam ang unahin niyang sagutin.
“ehmmm, oo naman mas matangkad na sya sa’yo. Hehe…bisitahin mo daw sya ah…entertain ka nya.”
“ahmmm, hiya ata ako, baka ang dami niyang fans dun, eh maOP lang ako… tapos napaisip ako…gusto ko rin syang makita. kelan ba pwede pumasyal dun? tsaka hindi pa po ako nakakapunta dun…
Kunwari ka pa, sakura. Hehehe,anytime pwedeng pumasyal dun.. kanina nga daming civies, lumalabas lang sya sa barracks nung andun na ako.madali lang naman, sakay ka taxi…”
“ah ok sir, punta me bukas…” kunwari dedma, but deep inside and saya-saya ko kahit kuya niya lang kausap ko.
“oh cge, pahinga na rin ako… pagod kc ako sa rally kanina…be sure!” sabay baba ng phone.
That night, di na ako nakatulog… I’m so excited to see sasuke kun, I’m missing him like hell. Kahit sixty-sixty, I will do my best to be there…
Wow, this is PMA. I’m so amazed and fascinated…my cousins really having fun and they started to roam around. Picture dun, picture jan… i-picture ko nga rin self ko remembrance. 1…2…3…shot! Ang ganda naman, ang ganda ng background…hehehe Bagay na bagya ung color ng damit ko, pink!
“San ko kaya pwedeng makita si sasuke kun dito???…sobrang dami ng civies tas halos lahat ng nakauniform, tingin ko magkakamukha na…nakakamangha talaga, lalo na ung uniforms nila. Balang araw ung anak ko, magiging PMAer din, sana…Di ka maboboring talaga. hehehe”, sabi ko sa sarili ko habang pasimpleng naglalakad.
I started to roam around, too. The place is wonderful, the civies were at ease. For a while, a group of cadets were having their formation…I just wondering if one of them is sasuke kun…the show begins and then they were marching going to somewhere else… we followed those in uniforms and they were all going to the filed… Is that borromeo field??? The cadets were having a practice for a big event. I am so fascinated looking them, thinking the sasuke kun is there. That was a great practice because it was my first time to witness a drill. The civies who witnessed, applauded. “Maybe, these are the proud parents and relatives of those in uniforms!” I, myself, feel proud to sasuke… I really want to shout that time just to express my feelings to sasuke kon but I control myself. Nakakainlove pala manood…hehehe. Bigla kong naalala ung sinabi ni sir itachi. “Pag my nililigawan ka tas nanood ng drill, automatic un sasagutin ka.”
Parang napapatotohanan ko na ung sinabi niya sa amin nung my session kami.
Tapos na! nag-aalisan na ung mga civilian na kagaya ko. Ung mga nagpipictaking na lang ung naiwan. Hapon na hindi ko pa rin nakikita si Sasuke. Tumutunog na rin ung kyubi sa tyan ko. Gutom na ako. Di na mainit tong binili kong pang-lunch namin. Tinatawag na rin ako ng mga pinsan ko para magmess.
Sa di kalayuan, may isang cadet na naglalakad. He’s approaching nearer. Oh my gosh, it’s sasuke kun! He looks different and more matured. Kanina ka pa dito, sakura chan? Nakangiting tanung niya sa akin. Ha?! Hindi ok lang ako…kumusta ka na??? you’ve grown a lot. Ang galing niyo kanina, ang tangkad mo na…ang ganda uniform mo! Hehehe. sunod-sunod kong nasabi. Di ko na kasi alam kung ano una kong sasabihin sa dami ng gusto kong sabihin. “Practis pa lang un! Mas maganda pa if 1st Class ung nakita mo. Nagpala, nag- early mess na rin ako kc nakita na kita kanina. Kumain ka na? kain ulit tayo sayang naman yang binili mo, mukhang masarap pa naman.. Hehehe” sabi niya sa akin habang nakangiti. “Ngumingiti rin pala sya akala ko nakalimutan na nyang ngumiti, kc naman halos lahat ata ng nakasalubong ko eh naka-tiger look.”, bulong ko sa sarili.
Papunta na kami canteen ng makita sya ng civies. “Pwedeng papicture?” pinagbgyan naman niya ung hiling nila, tapos sunud-sunod naman na ung nagpapapic… na-OP tuloy ako… lumayo na lang ako ng konti…”Maghanap din kayo ng bf niyong kadete…” sabi ng isa sa mga civies… meaning bf ko xa??? Ha? Ang swerte ko naman!, bulong ko sa sarili… kahit pinag-aagawan xa… ok lang sa akin un, nasabi ko sa sarili… nananaginip ng gising??? Hahahaha. Ang haba ng hair ko day!
Iniwan na nya ung mga civies tas kumain kami. Nagkwentuhan. Kwento… kwento… kwento… Bounded pala ng rules and regulations ang every corner ng PMA. Don’t dare say No to your master, because they much know what is best for the mammal. The reason why upperclass were so strict to lowerclass because they are tangible things but the position is intangible. To maintain the cycle, they must mold and train the new seeds of generation. To have a stable and strong organization, they must be a leader. And to be a good leader, you must be a good follower. Hail to all the Cadets! Parang ayaw ko nang matapos ung mga oras na un. Nag-eenjoy na ako, natututo pa ako. Gusto ko na rin atang maging Kadete. Kaso baka di kaya kc mejo lampa ako. Medical ninjutsu lang alam ko. Di pa kc ako nasanay ni Granny Tsunade. Hehehe. Ang tikas, tindig and boses… hayz… and then may call ulit sila. “Balikan kita maya. Pasyal ka muna ha.Huwag ka munang uuwi. Hintayin mo ako, saglit lang to!
Namasyal muna ako, nag-ikot-ikot…and then I started to unwind… the more I roam around, it increases how proud I am to have a special friend like Sasuke kun as a cadet. It was his dream since I knew him and I’m so happy because he had started already. I strongly believe in his abilities and determination. You should prove to us that your youth is not wasted. Continue to pursue. Be a leader. I, myself pursuing my dream. Because I believe, “what we reap is what we sow”. Time will come, you will reap all those sacrifices you had encountered and you may encounter as you go on to your chosen journey. I had already finished my degree, and I will not end here. So, Sasuke, join me as I say, “bring it on!”, whatever obstacles hinder your way, Conquer it!
Habang binabasa ko ung new issue ng corps mag, nagkakagulo na naman ung mga civies. My kadete na naman pala silang nakita. Nagpapapicture ulit. “Hayz… grabeh pala dito. It’s a pleasure to be a cadet. It really increase self esteem and ego… Parang kilala ko un ah, ngek si sasuke kun… hayzzzzzz....”
“Sakura chan! Lika, meryenda tayo.” Sabi niya sa akin habang lumalapit. Tinginan ung mga civies sa amin…sumunod na lang ako sa kanya… grabeh, over sa haba na ng hair ko!
“ok ka lang ba?”, tanung niya sa akin sabay ngiti ulit.
“Oo naman, isang kadete ba naman ang kasama ko!”, sagot to sa kanya tapos ngumiti sya.
Kung pwede lang sanang bihisan ko sya ng damit civilian para hindi sya mahalata at wala ng laging sumusolpot na mga civies eh… hayz…
Ipinasyal niya ako kung san-saan. Naging tour guide ko sya that time. Halos ayaw ko ng umuwi that time kaso nag-ring naman na ung signal. It’s time to depart! Nagpaalam na kami sa isa’t isa. I’ll miss you, sakura chan! Sabay bigay ng simple gift… I’m happy to death, feels like hell…snappy ako that time, kinuha ko agad gift nya although nahihiya ako kc baka my mga civies na naman eh maagaw pa moment ko. Nagpaalam na rin ako sa kanya. Binigay ko nalang ung kunai na bigay ni Naruto kun sa akin pati ung simpleng midkit na ginawa ni Granny Tsunade. Hope so na nag-enjoy din sya na kasama ako. Kahit bitin ung oras. I can feel in his moves and aura…his chakara is the same as his chakara when were together as civies.
Hope to be with you again, spending more time with each other. I’ll wait you sasuke kun…til we meet again…sayonara!
