MARINA
Sinipa ko ang maliit na batong nasa aking paanan bago ko isinarado ang aking mga mata. I raise my head high and let the cold breeze of today's atmosphere envelope me. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin sa lugar na 'to dahil na rin naglalakihang mga talahib at puno lang ang naririto.
I hold the metal chair where I'm sitting and let my woes go when I exhaled carbon dioxide to the universe.
I am now here at the sched, where I usually go and wait for an approaching bus when Aki still haven't insisted on taking me to school. And now, I'm waiting for him here for about an hour or so already.
Why is he taking so long?
Another vehicle appears. And it's not the bitch.
Naiirita kong hinila palabas ang phone sa bulsa ng aking jumper jeans saka binuksan ito.
You: San ka na tanginamo.

Dulok is typing...
Dulok: You can't just tell me to ride a bike and expect me to be there early.
Mahina akong natawa sa nabasa. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang ma-imagine ang hitsura niya kapag dumating siya. Last night before he left my house, I was able to convince him to ride a bike on our way to the said hospital today since it's not that far, but I guess Aki's house is the one that's far from me.
You: Luhlalampa-lampa. Bilis gago ang init.
Dulok: Didn't you bring a towel?
Dulok: How about water?
You: No. Where u at currently??
Dulok: Near. I don't know the exact place because I see nothing but tall grasses. But near.
You: I'm near at my explosion too.
Dulok: Excuse me? You're the one who asked for this. Not me.
Dulok: I'll stop by in a store to buy you water. Hold on.
You: No need. Just hurry!
Dulok: Then don't text me again. I'm taking a stop to reply whenever you do.
You: Ok.
Dulok: 🖕🖕 e2 ka bitch.
Napabungisngis ako habang tinititigan ang huling mensahe niya. I didn't expect this to be a flop, but I really want some fresh air, so I came up with the idea of riding a bicycle to gather some oxygen along the way.
