"Lemon!"
Hindi alarm ang nagpapagising sakin, boses ng pinsan ko na si Tara. Anak ng megaphone.
"Lemon, come on! bloody miffed!"
Hindi ko na alam if I showered or what sa kakasigaw ba naman nitong Tara.
"Tara, 6:30 pa naman. Gaga ka talaga, I took - no, I didn't took shower!" kakalabas ko lang sa kwarto ko at nakita na siyang nakatihaya sa sofa.
"Making sure we won't get late. First day natin for the college life no. You're not excited?" she looked at me and grab her coffee. We both don't like the taste and the smell of a tea. Any kinds of teas, nope.
Inirapan ko nalang siya at pumunta sa kusina para magluto ng agahan, knower her cereal na naman hinanda nito. Laking London e, wala na akong magawa at gustong mag-aral sa pinas out of nowhere.
"Breakfast" I put the plate full of ham and fried rice on the center table.
We didn't buy dinner table kasi nakulangan ng budget, knowing our parents. Mga kuripot and take note, ako lang pala ang nag-iisa dito sa pinas. Lahat ng kadugo ko nasa New Zealand. Oh, I forgot, dalawa na pala kami. Itong pinsan ko.
"What course did you chose?" pag-uumpisa niya habang kumakain
"BMLS" simpleng sagot ko sa kanya and took a sip from my freshly brewed coffee, heaven.
"Ang layo" natawa nalang ako sa pagtatagalog niya
"Business Management" she informed me and I just nodded, naiinis parin ako sa agad niyang pagsigaw na akala mo late na kami. 'Yun pala ang aga pa e 30 minutes lang naman travel time namin from our condo to univ.
I'm tired already.
"Hey" napalingon naman ako sa kanya
"What?" masungit kong pabalik kaya napatawa namna siya
"You do realize that I'm stuck with you for maybe 5 more years" she know that I hate companion.
"Yeah, unlucky me" kibit-balikat kong sagot sa kanya at pumunta na sa kusina para ilagay sa dishwasher ang mug ko.
Wala akong gana kumain, nag-iba ang intestines ko sa paggising.
*beep*beep*
Bugs2:
You ready, love?
Me:
Yeah, see you. I love you, mi rey.
No replies.
Nag-bihis na ako at napatingin sa full length mirror dito sa room ko. Looking at my pale skin, dark eyebags, square shaped face and pair of tired eyes.
You are not that a beauty, just to remind you.
