Bouquet

Kunot-noo kong idinilat ang aking mga mata. My eyes was immediately overwhelemed by the light coming from the windows in my living room. I immediately closed my eyes tightly as I slowly sat up from the soft couch. Dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang aking mga mata kasabay ng pag-ikot ng aking tingin sa kabuoan ng aking condo.

How the hell did I end up here? The last time I remember, I was at the grave of my daughter. Paano ako nakauwi sa condo ko?

Napabalikwas ako ng upo at saka napatingin sa aking unahan. Agad bumungad sa akin ang isang maliit na papel na pinapatungan ng kulay puti kong vase. It was placed on top of my small coffee table in the living room.

I stretched my arms over to the paper as I pulled it away from the vase. My hand raised up to my head as I gave my hair a scratch. I squinted my eyes and tried to read the words written on the small paper.

Good morning, Imo. Drink the medicine and eat your breakfast. I left a glass of water and the medicine on the table already.

-Andre

Agad kong nilingon ang aking maliit na kusina kung saan naroroon ang isang baso at gamot na iniwan nga ni Andre. I stood up from my seat and walked over to the table in the kitchen. Napapikit ako nang mariin nang madaanan ng matinding sinag mg araw ang aking mukha. "Fuck..." I whispered to myself as I felt my head aching.

Nang makalapit sa maliit na lamesa ay agad kong kinuha ang gamot at ininom iyon. Pinalipas ko muna ang sakit ng aking ulo kahit kaunti lamang habang nagluluto ng aking pagkain. Thankfully, it subsided after a few more minutes. There was still a bit of pain when I got to work, but it was much more bearable.

Haggard na haggard akong pumasok sa office at agad din naman akong binati ng aking mga kasamahan. "Good morning, Imo. Na-late ka ata ngayon 'ah?" tanong sa akin ng isa sa mga kasamahan ko.

With a serious face on, I sat on the chair in front of my table as I gave her a light nod. "Yeah, I have a hangover," mahina kong sagot dito.

"Oh, right! Bago ko malimutan, someone delivered a coffee here in the company for you," anito. Agad namang kumunot ang aking noo kasabay ng pagtingin ko sa kaniyang gawi. Coffee for me? Delivered in the company?

She got a cup of coffee from her desk and gave it to me. "Hindi ko alam sinong nagpadala. Hinatid nalang ng taong nasa lobby, delivery daw sayo," banggit nito sabay kibit-balikat.

I gave her a small smile as I took the cup of coffee from her hands. "Thanks," sabi ko at saka muling tumingin sa aking desk.

Iniikot ko ang baso ng kape, hinahanap kung mayroon bang nakalagay doon na kahit anong pangalan. There was none. The only thing written on the side was the name of the drink. Caffe Latte.

A small smirk was immediately appeared on my lips as I softly scoffed. Sumandal ako sa aking upuan at saka itinaas nang kaunti ang kape. I know who orders this coffee for me. It was the exact same coffee and size of the cup that he bought when we were going at Kiana's wedding.

I quickly reached for my phone that was placed on top of my desk and took a picture of it. I looked for his contacts and sent it to him.

To: Unknown Number
