Deja Vu

Ni Larraine Artieda

Gumising ako.

Naghanda ng maigi’t dala ang naglalakihang maleta’t bag na lulan ang mga bago’t may etiketang damit. Mangimi man ang sasapnan sa matagal na byahe ng pagkakaupo, ‘di na alintana sapagkat minsan lang ang ganitong oportunidad – na makalaban sa STRASUC CAF

Segu-segundong tumitingin sa tanawin kung nakarating na nga ba sa destinasyon. Minu-minutong nananalangin na sana’y sa pagtungtong sa bulwaga’y may medalyang maiuuwi para sa paaralan. Oras-oras nag-aaral ng estratehiya upang manalo. Araw-araw na nag-ensayo para sa pagkakataong ito.

Sa wakas…

Nasa lugar pa ng pagdarausan. Dala ko ang suporta ng kaibigan at magulang. Sapamamagitan ng malikot na pag-iisip at masinop na pagguhit, natapos ko ang aking obra maestra.

‘Eto na…

“Ang nagwagi para sa on-the-spot Poster making ay, Juan Dela Cruz!”

Nagpalakpakan ang madla kasabay ng aking pag-akyat sa entablado. Dala ko naman ang gintong medalya – para sa paaralan, karangalan, tahanan, at higi’t sa lahat, para sa Panginoon.

Subalit, gumising ako.

Gintong Medalya

Ni Rochelle Gimpaya

Dumating na ang araw Para sa magaganap na paligsahan Ang mga hiyawan at palakpak Ang siyang tanging naririnig sa patimpalak

Hindi na halos maipinta Ang ekspresyon ng bawat isa Magkahalong tuwa’t pangamba Ang makikita sa kanilang mga mata

Hindi lubos mawari Kung maiuuwi ba ang medalyang minimithi Wala ring kasiguraduhan Kung uuwi bang panalo o luhaan

Mga oras na inilaan sa pagsasanay Hatid nito ay tagumpay Pagod, dugo’t pawis ang nagging puhunan Kaya’t sarili’y hindi dapat pagdudahan

Hindi na dapat mangamba Sa ano mang maging resulta Dahil ang tiwala’t suporta Ang siyang nagsilbi at magsisilbing gintong medalya

Kapangyarihan
