DEANNA'S POV





I plated all the food I cooked in the tray and carefully carried it into the bedroom.


Yes, kaya ko na magluto. Hindi na puro fried at deep fried haha.


I've learned my lesson. Iba nga talaga ang dating kapag pinaghirapan mo kesa sa inorder lang. Mas effort, sweet and most of all, mas tipid.


Nilapag ko muna ito so bedside table.


Time to wake up this sleeping beauty.


I laid down next to her and booped her nose. Nothing.


So I planted a soft kiss on her lips. Finally, she stirred and stretched her arms up.


"Good morning sunshine" I said cheerfully.


She opened her eyes and looked at me.


Kay gandang nilalang nga naman.

















***FLASHBACK 1/2***

Pagkatapos ng conference, I decided to move back into my condo na.


Pinapa Airbnb ko kasi to dati while I moved in with Jema.


Buti nalang tinulungan ako ni Ate Jia to get all my stuff from Jema's condo. Wala si Jema at Milo dun when we came to get my stuff.


Di na rin ako nagtanong kay ate Jia kung ano ang usapan nila ni Jema.


It doesn't matter now anyway.


After we got all my things, I locked the door and slid my duplicate key back inside through the gap below the door. I won't be needing it anymore.


Di na rin ako masyado pa nakakapag ayos ng mga gamit ko because flight ko na back to Cebu ngayong gabi. Kakahatid ko lang ka Ollie sa condo ni Ate Mads. Ayoko kasi syang ma stress sa byahe kaya ma iiwan muna sya.


Wala pang ilang minuto after I ordered lunch, may nag doorbell naman agad.


Wow ha! Ang bilis naman ata. Imposibleng yung order ko to.


When I peeped outside, nanlamig naman ang mga kamay ko.


It was Jema.


I stood there frozen.


What should I do?


Nag doorbell sya ulit and I decided to open the door slightly.


There was an awkward pause between us. Nagtitigan lang kami.


"Uhm may dala akon ramen. Favorite mo." she broke our silence.


I opened the door wider so she could come inside and gestured for the table.


Naamoy ko naman yung pabango nya.


Shit.


Tumungo sya sa table at nilapag ang dalawang ramen bowl sa magkabilang side.


"Upo kana" pag aaya nya with a reserved smile.


I felt like my whole body was so stiff. I awkwardly walked to the table and sat across from her.
