Marky Story: Gold is on the Ground (Part 2)

The rice field is about to be harvested. I'm excited. And while I was meditating and daydreaming about what I would buy when I bought rice that would turn into rice, Josephine approached me when she got out of her white car parked on the side of the road. He was my classmate in High School and used to be courted. But, I did not continue because I was afraid of my rivals who came from a good family.

When Josephine arrived, she was happy for a few hours alone in the field. He came from our college school.

“How are you, Roberto? Our hard work! ” Josephine greeted me warmly and handed me the juice in the bottle.

"Here, the smell of the sun and the smell of buffalo too," I said with a smile but shy. She is really beautiful.

I knew he was discriminating against me. I could feel it and I could see in the twinkle in his eye. He did not go home to them that afternoon and talked to me.

“Why did you stop studying, Berto? You can entrust your farm to Mang Karyas. Alas, I hope you are a Second Year College like me. Then why do you persevere in planting? In farming? ”

“The school is just there, Josephine. But in the future, do not wait or be compared to the pages of the book that when you open it you can open it. There is no certainty tomorrow. We do not know what will happen. Then not everyone who is educated is sure to get a good job. Not that I say education is not important ha! But most of all, combined wisdom and ability is essential to improving one's life. ”

“And this land! Here is tomorrow… paddling for a better future. Why else would I go to the city to find my destiny? Why don't we base our destiny on our own country? Why should I be enslaved by the capitalists, they are the only ones who get rich and not the employees? ”

“You mean, you're going to study again and finish a four-year course just to get back to this farm? For what? Do you want to be inferior to others forever? ” Josephine asked again.

“What is wrong if a person wants to look back to where he came from? Is that how you think life is uplifting to farmers? If it weren't for our farmers, there would be no rice to eat in your afternoon manners! ”

Josephine was stunned by what I heard. The eyebrows rose.

"That's why. That's why you ignored me because of this farm! There you are! ” Josephine once to leave and return to the car. I wondered what he said.

Two rounds of harvest passed and we were able to build our hut house from the proceeds from the farm products sold. I'm cementing. But, I built a hut on the side of the concrete house so that I could feel the ambiance of the countryside… of the Filipino brand.

Because I had accumulated a lot, I re-enrolled in college to continue my studies in the BS-Education Major in History course. I just want to be a teacher. In the morning I took a scooter to visit and take care of the farm every afternoon. Without me, Mang Karyas and my cousin Panong would take care of the farm.

On-campus, Josephine and I often met on campus in the capitol. But, I just ignored him. He ignores me even when we meet. I feel good but I'm just being bullied. Annoying. Bad trip can make your love ignore you. In my mind, did I do anything wrong to him? Mistakes… for him to suffer like this.

I admit Josephine still has room in my heart. Actually, he was my inspiration why I changed and became optimistic and hardworking in life. But, when we met I just ignore him, I noticed that he was also upset. It feels like dir in likes what is being done to me.

So I made a remedy. One day, going home from school, I waited for him on the road near our farm where he passed by. When I saw it, I blocked the road. He blew his horn. But, I still did not leave.

“If you do not leave there, we will be run over! he says.

“Oh! You know how cute you are even when you are angry! Okay, run over me and you're ready when I get knocked down! ”

“Why can I do that? I will run over you and I will not kill you! ”

“For Real! Not that! All right! It might scratch your car that you love so much! ”

I laughed at Josephine's reaction as she leaned against the steering wheel and stared at the young man in the car is annoyed. Threatening but unable to.

“What? I will not leave here until you tell me why you are ignoring me at school! '

Josephine got out of the car. The face is smirked.
