"Ang pangit naman."

I said to myself as I am currently preparing for my Paskuhan outfit tomorrow. It's been 2 months since Iñigo started his clerkship. He would leave early in the morning and come home the following morning. He'd skip meals or just drink water to ease his hunger. He barely gets any rest. Wala na rin syang oras para sa'kin. Though, I have to understand him. He's doing this for his future, with or without me.

He would still leave notes or papers but it's just notes saying that he's good, hungry, tired, sleepy, missing me or an "I love you". Hindi na sya makapagsulat ng letters unlike before because of his lack of time. 'Yong oras na matitira para sakanya, ipapahinga nalang nya. Naiintindihan ko naman talaga pero hindi maikakaila na nagtatampo na rin ako pero hindi ako nagsasabi kasi ayaw ko na dumagdag sa iisipin nya. He's already too tired. Ayoko na dagdagan. 

The flowers, wala na 'kong natatanggap. Maybe he doesn't have the time to go to Dangwa or kung sa'n man nya nakukuha 'yon kaya ako nalang. Sometimes I'd slide the rose under my door and pretend that he left it for me. 

He still has time for our Monthsary pero hindi na gaano. During our monthsary, I'd bring him food para sabay kaming kakain. 'Yong gusto kong gawin namin, ginagawa ko magisa para lang masabi kong masaya na ako.

I got out my high waist jeans and I paired them with a cream-colored button-down Juliette Sleeve crop top. I placed the necklace on top of the crop top to see how it'd look. I placed my white rubber shoes sa sahig and when I checked, okay naman kaya ginilid ko na 'yong isusuot ko bukas.

Rhiane Dhenise Estrella calling.....

"Yeah?" Tugon ko pagkasagot sa tawag.

"Spa tsaka salon tayo! Pamper day." 

"Huh?"

"Hatdog." Alex

"Tara! Nagaayos na kami. See you!" She ended the call and didn't even let me decide! I just got out my black turtle neck long sleeves and I paired it with a White Tennis Skirt. For my shoes, I used my mid-calf Converse shoes. I took a bath first and applied light makeup. I brought a hair tie with me.

"Knock knock!" Ashleigh knocked at the door as she said this. I opened the door and they were all ready, just waiting for me.

"Iñigo wanted me to give this to you. He said, 'See you tomorrow, my love.'" Ashleigh whispered to me the last sentence. I placed the rose on the table and brought the paper with me. We drove to Robinsons Magnolia. We ate at Contis and nagtalo pa kami sa huling piraso ng Baked Mussels. 

"Akin na 'to." I argued with Alex.

"Akin 'yan, tanga. Ako nagbayad nyan." Alex fired.

"Jusko edi isa pa! Waiter!" Marge called a waiter to order another batch of Baked Mussels. I immediately got out a 1000 Peso bill and handed it to Marge para sya na magaasikaso. Alex looked defeated.
