CIELO
I stirred from my sleep, the sun's rays gently reaching my eyes.
"Hinihintay na kaya nila ako?" I mumbled to no one in particular.
Looks like I overslept, my body feels drained.
There were no sounds of knocks on my door, no echoes of voices outside. Ang tahimik ng bahay parang walang katao-tao.
Natawa ako sa sinabi ko. Katao-tao, almost forgetting they weren't even human.
I'm wondering if I should get up now.
Tinignan ko ang wall clock na nasa kwarto. It's already 2:40 pm. Afternoon already. I need to get ready. I forgot what Viviana told me last night!
"First time mong magtrabaho sa kanila tapos ganyan ka? Get it together, self."
I ran my hand through my hair, yawning. Still feeling sleepy. The struggle is real. What's next for me now?
I gently slapped my face as I made my way to the cabinet. Time to get ready.
"Ano ba kailangan ko? Should I bring a gun? Sounds extreme but hey, safety first, right? But we're not in a gun-friendly country. Just stepping out, yet the place might be crowded. Perhaps that's their opportunity. Pero chine-check kami bago pumasok sa Mall. Mahirap talaga, wala kami sa Underworld. Besides, Hades' approval letter wouldn't hold much weight in situations like this. Living in this world truly presents its challenges," I muttered under my breath.
Kainis kasi. Why does it have to be me dealing with this?
"Hanggang kelan kapa mag-riritual sa kwarto mo?"
Sino yun?
"Anong kagagahan ba ginagawa mo diyan? Should I just smash your door down to knock some sense into you?"
Tangina sila ba yun? Ba't napupunta sa utak ko? Nakahanda naba sila?
"ARGH! BILIS CIELO!" I exclaimed, feeling the urgency mounting.
Tangina. Tangina. TANGINA!
I hurriedly put on my cargo shorts, a plain black t-shirt, and a black denim jacket. Keep it simple to avoid standing out. Kaso sa mukha kong ito ang hirap.
Ano kaya yung susuotin kong sapatos?
"Nahuli na ako sa pag gising pero gusto ko pa maging fashionable? I want to look good in their eyes. I can't help but laugh at myself," I remarked while observing my reflection in the mirror.
Seems like I'm coming off as a bit of a narcissist.
Kinuha ko nalang ang unang sapatos na nakuha ng kanang kamay ko.
Sneakers. It's fine, I still look fashionable.
"Isa ka bang pagong noon? Bilisan mo gumalaw, tumataas galit ko sa'yo!"
Si Margaret ba 'to?
Mukhang siya nga, unang bungad sa akin galit na unggoy. Umiiri-iri.
It seems like there's a struggle with communication going on, where they have this telepathic connection that you can't replicate. They seem to be able to communicate effortlessly while you're left listening but unable to speak.
At times, I underestimate them.
"Ilang sigaw pa ba magagawa ko para lumabas ka diyan?! Can't you hear me? Hindi lang pala utak yung mali sayo, tenga rin," Margaret exclaimed.
