Kinabukasan pagkagising ko, una kong binuksan ang cellphone ko para malaman kung may update na ba galing kay Maria. Since nasa ibaba pa naman si Grayson dahil doon siya natulog kagabi sa sobrang kalasingan, malaya akong magagamit ang cellphone ko nang hindi kinakabahan.
As I turned on my WiFi and sim card, tons of notifications kept on coming. Nakita ko pa ang pangalan ni Enzo doon pero hindi ko na lang 'yon pinansin. Ang kailangan ko ay ang message ni Maria.
I waited until all the notifications were received before I browsed every new message that I received. Nakita ko ang pangalan ni Maria sa mga text na na-receive ko. Mabilis kong binuksan 'yon at binasa.
Maria:
Good morning!
Maria:
Girl, nakuha ko na ang need mo! Jennaica Torrealba is living and working in QC! She has a three-year old daughter pero walang asawa, wala rin yatang jowa! Sabi ng kakilala ko, nakikitira siya sa condo ng pinsan.
Maria:
Anyway, here's her phone number! 09771254555
Maria:
Nako, hindi mo alam kung ano pang ginawa ko para lang ibigay ang phone number niya! Sinabi ko lang na urgent at kailangan siyang makausap ng friend ko! Emergency, sabi ko pa!
Maria:
At dahil d'yan, treat mo ako pag-uwi mo!
I smiled as I typed a reply.
Me:
Thank you so much! I will!
After that, I saved the number Maria sent me with the name Aica. I was about to turn off my sim card and WiFi once again when I read Enzo's message from the notification panel.
Enzo:
I am giving you the maximum of three days to stay there, then come home to me. We need to talk about everything. We need to sort things out, Ruth. You can't leave me for another man just like that...
Napabuntonghininga na lang ako bago tuluyan nang pinatay ang WiFi at sim card. Hindi na ako nag-abala pang basahin ang ibang messages o reply-an man lang si Enzo dahil ibibigay ko na itong nalalabing araw ko dito sa Bohol bago ko tuluyang harapin ang totoong mundo ko.
Pinatay ko muna ang phone ko bago lumabas ng k'warto at bumaba. Nakita ko ro'n si Grayson na tulog na tulog pa rin. Lumapit ako sa kan'ya at pinaglaruan ang buhok niya.
Looking at him now hurts. Bakit ganito? Mahal ko na ba si Grayson?
I sighed as I kissed his forehead.
I was about to stand up to make us breakfast when he grunted and moved a little. He held my wrist and pulled me closer, making me fall on top of him.
"Summer . . ." He kissed my cheek as he hugged me. "I'm sorry I fell asleep here."
