Chapter 4
"PAANO KO BA SISIMULAN 'TO?"
Pasado alas onse na. And I still have trouble falling asleep since I keep thinking of ways to talk to him. Next week na ang deadline niyon. Dapat hindi na namin pinapatagal pa.
Dumapa ako sa kama at inayos ang specs na suot ko dahil tumama ito sa unan. I looked like a problematic elementary girl who's been waiting for a miracle to come. Pero paano ko ba kasi siya icha-chat? Hindi ko alam ang facebook o kahit anong socials niya..
Nanlulumo nalang akong napatingin sa cellphone ko na siyang tanging nag bibigay ng liwanag sa kuwarto kong nakapatay ang ilaw. I stood up and opened the light. Nag paikot-ikot ako sa loob ng kuwarto hanggang sa napadapo ang tingin ko sa salamin na nasa closet ko.
I looked at my reflection. I was wearing a white cardigan and white sando underneath. While I was wearing a short in my bottom. My dark brown and long wavy hair falls perfectly. And my gold aviator specs also suits me. Natural lamang ang itsura ko. Walang make-up, lip tint or even blush on. Hindi ko na kailangan pa na mag blush on dahil natural ang pagkapula ng aking pisngi. Pinagpala nga ako sa height, pero sa weight ay hindi.
But despite being thin, my body was shaped like an inverted triangle. I also have a small, pointed nose. That complements the features of my face adequately.
Lumapit ako sa gawi ng aking cellphone nang umilaw ito. I gave it a puzzle look when suddenly, an unknown dump account sent me a message in my dump account also.
How is that even possible? Dalawa lang ang nakakaalam niyon—sa ngayon. Si Alfareezel at si..
thdrzrl.dump:
Good evening po, ma'am. Si Miss Kalea po ba ito? Nanalo po kayo ng Bigas.
Kunot noo kong inistalk agad 'yong account nung nag message at hindi muna nag reply. Pero mukhang private person ata siya dahil wala kahit isang post. Walang cover, at profile picture. And as I remembered, wala akong naaalala na sinalihan kong charity, pa-ayuda o kahit ano pa para manalo ng bigas.
Kalea:
Hello po. Baka po nawrong send kayo? Hindi ko po deserve 'yang bigas niyo dahil baka nakalaan 'yan sa mas nangangailangan. Paki-check nalang po ulit, pero hindi po talaga ako dahil wala po akong matatandaan na nagpalista ako para sa rice. Salamat po!
I left astonished when he replied to my message.
thdrzrl.dump:
hala ma'am hindi po ito wrong send. Talagang para sainyo po ito. Nanalo po kayo ng bigas, luto na po actually hehe:)
Kalea:
Nantitrip ka ba, kuya? Ate?
Kahit nagtataka ay hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili na matawa. Seryoso ba s'ya?Anong gagawin ko sa lutong bigas? Ipapakain sa kagroup kong hindi pa ako chinachat?
Kagroup. . . .
That suddenly thought made my smile dissapeared. And I grinned upon realizing something. My dump account is only known by the two; Alfareezel and Theodore. And Alfareezel's typings was old and jejemon not like this! So I therefore think that Theodore may have been the one who chatted this.
Right, it's him! I laughed when Alfareezel's humor flashed to my memory. Magagamit ko naman pala ito. And i need to turn the table too.
Nakakapagtaka lang dahil bakit kailangan may dump pa na nakalagay sa pangalan n'ya. Ano s'ya, basurahan?
