VALENTINES DAY

It was just a normal day for me.

After work, I'll be off and went to supermarket. Buy some foods I'll be needing for a marathon movie since tommorow is Saturday. I have the time to rest and sleep all I want.

I'm living the life I want. Successful on my music career. People smile at me when they recognize me but they respect my private life. I'm not like the celebrities on the road who's wearing a fancy street style clothes and feeling the vibe. I am just a simple person off stage. A simple citizen. Sino ba naman ako para magyabang? I choose this way.

Kakatapos lang ng gig at bukas libre na ako. All of my band mates have their respective dates and I am just hanging around in my home living alone.

I was on the train, wearing my casual wear. A big crop top shirt and high waisted cargo jeans denim with pairing a chuck taylor converse shoes. My body is not that thin but I have 23 size of waist line and a blessed ass.

I'm wearing a black facemask. I know the Corona Era have already come to an end but seriously speaking I just don't like mix smells of the people on the public transpo. Sira ang sasakyan ko kaya nag Eco-train ako ngayon.

While entering the train, some people recognize me and even call me. I wave at them and they smile so genuinely at me. I like it when people appreciate me off stage. Some even took photos of me but not try to envade my privacy. They just stop immediately. That's what I like most. Respecting lives.

I check my social media to check how was the other's are doing.

Kyle, the vocalist just posted a photo of her date in intramuros. Our bassist, Jeremy, just tweeted he's nervous about the date. Loko-loko, ang dami n'yang ka fling noon pero ngayon natahimik na s'ya kay Lara. The lead guitar, Dash just went home and start to find a condom. That fucker. A motherfucker piece of shit na mahilig sa babae.

And the drummer of the band is single.

Yes.

Some tried to court me but I always decline. I don't know, I just don't like commiting myself to others. I have a busy life and I can't imagine myself dividing my time to others.

Or maybe I just waiting for someone brave enough to fix my time schedule and share everymoment with me.

Nah. Boys give me headaches.

I was brought back to reality when the installed voice on the station warn about the closing door and staring of the train. Actually, the train is kinda full. Nagsisiksikan ang mga tao pero hindi naman ganon kalala. I'm standing and holding tight on the pole. At the last second before the door of the train close, a man in a suit show up and stand beside me. Humawak s'ya ng maigi sa pole kagaya ko at hindi ko ito pinanasin. The train starts to operate and move, a smooth ride. I again check my phone. My body was not fully alert in the surroundings when a sudden stop of the train was held. It was not that strong but storng enough to make a person be in 140° angle. Dahil sa biglang preno, nauntog ako sa pole at nahulog ang cellphone ko.

A man immediately pick it up while me, tapping my forhead. Feeling ko kase magkakabukol ako sa nangyari. It's just that feeling of the stick hitting the snare drums so hard. Some people throw glance at me and later on go back to their business.

"Miss, phone mo."

Napatingin ang gawi ko sa inaalok na cellphone ng máma. I didn't bother to look up immediately because he's a bit tall and ang ginawa ko kinuha ko lang muna. I got my phone and look at the man who pick up my phone. I look up saw the face of the man.
