chardawn - BRACELET

It's a fine December evening when Dawn and her friends decided to have a zoom get together. They said that everyone should dress up and not just in their usual home outfits to make things a little bit festive.

She is going through her clothes and found this dark blue dress that she hasn't worn in a while, so she took that and laid it on the bed. She found a matching pair of black shoes to go with it. Finally, she is going through her accessories and found a simple drop earring and instead of wearing a watch, she wanted a bracelet to wear.

She is searching for a simple band, but all she finds are the elegant and studded ones that she usually wears. She doesn't feel like wearing those until she found a black box. Her brows creased and it reminded her of who gave her that.

She opened the box and found a gold bracelet that she hasn't seen since forever.

It's the first week of December 1992 and Dawn just got back from her last day of taping for a new movie. It was an out of town taping and she was gone for more than a week. She is exhausted and is looking forward to finally have some decent rest.

However, when she got home, her face crumpled when she saw how the bedroom was a mess. Clothes on the floor, bed is not made up, and the cabinets are left open.

She sighs. She doesn't have the energy anymore to fix things but the more she looks around her, the more she got frustrated and irritated because she remembered not leaving it like that. So with the energy that is left within her, she started cleaning up the things that she can.

As she was going through the clothes, she saw a note that might've fell from the side table. She picked it up and read it.

Hi, Love!
By the time you read this, I might be in Pangasinan already for my shoot. I had only a few minutes to get some of my things before they pick me up. Sorry if everything is a mess, but most of all, sorry if I don't get to spend anymore time with you. Promise, I'll make it up to you.
I love you and I miss you!

She sighs. Their overlapping schedules are not helping them and it makes her sad that they don't spend so much time together. So she shrugs off her sad feelings and continued on with cleaning up. After a while, she couldn't take it anymore and just told herself that she'll just continue in the morning. So, she changed into her sleepwear and hopped onto the bed.

Morning came and Dawn felt light kisses on her neck. She turned and found Richard beside her.

"Good morning, Love..."

Instead of greeting him back, she faced away from him and closed her eyes again. She's still sleepy, but her boyfriend has always been makulit and didn't stop pestering her with his kisses.

"Sorry... alam ko galit ka..."

"Buti alam mo."

He gave another kiss on her shoulder. "Kaya niligpit ko na yung mga ibang kalat, naglinis na rin ako ng banyo, naayos ko na rin yung ibang gamit mo, and nagluto na rin ako ng breakfast..."

She opened her eyes and wondered what time he got home to be able to do all those things and is she that tired for not feeling his presence?

She felt his kisses once again and this time she turned to face him and pouted.

He smiles at her. "Sorry na... don't worry... babawi na ako. Tapos na ako sa shoot kaya umuwi ako agad sa'yo."

"Promise?"
