Kheia's POV
Monday morning... I literally hate Mondays. I don't even know why ayoko ng Monday, I just know na it's a start for another week of my boring routine. I don't have much friends to begin with, always study and work lang. So tell me how can I enjoy living? when living is painful and just meaningless.
Bs asides, I need to prepare to go to school. May morning classes pa ako then the rest of the day is work. I'm tired even tho I didn't do anything this weekend. How is that even possible? well, for starters I only slept for 2hours.
Before I go to school, I always stop by the café to grab some coffee and check on Liz, she's my colleague, we're not friends but we do talk about some things whenever we can.
"Oy Liz" tinanguan ko siya kasi alam naman niya order ko.
Yeah, switch shift kame minsan so we serve each other's coffee sometimes.
"Anong mukha 'yan?"
"huh?" what?
"what? what do you mean?" I ask her confused.
"Natulog ka ba?" takang tanong niya.
"Yeah... kind of..2hours" Nakita ko naman pang iling niya.
"I stayed up all night trying to finish my painting, hays"
"Natapos mo?" malungkot na lang akong umiling.
"Hindi ee. Mauna na ako aa? I don't wanna be late" I grabbed my coffe and walk my way to school.
---after morning classes---
Lunch time na and as usual the cafeteria is packed. Kapag tinatamad talaga ako pumila pumupunta na lang akong café para doon mag lunch with Liz, which is everyday.
Hindi naman siya gaano kalayo, walking distance lang so stress-free and convenient. Walking is also so therapeutic for me, minding my own business, sometimes stop by stray cats to feed them. My life now is way more peaceful than my past...
"Good afternoon" bati ko kay Liz, tumango na lang siya since may nag oorder sa counter.
Umupo na ako sa lagi kong pinupwestuhan, sa may bandang likuran na nakatapat sa labas. I like looking outside, mahinahon at tahimik tignan. Pero I don't like it when people passing by then stare at me for a bit, kinda weird if you ask me.
Saglit lang and inapproach na ako ni Liz with my usual order. She even sat across me.
She's looking at me weirdly...what now? may dumi ba ako sa mukha?
"Ang cute mo" tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay.
She always compliments me from time to time, I'm ok with that.
"HAHAHAHA ang cute talaga"
"Hmm? as if hindi mo ako nakikita araw-araw"
"Hindi tayo nagkikita tuwing weekends, Monday kaya ngayon"
She's right tho.
"Ay may question pala ako sa'yo" palo niya sa kamay ko. Aray?
"Ano? ask away" I continue to eat.
"Diba sabi mo baka bisexual ka? ano ba ibig sabihin nun?"
Napatitig lang ako sakan'ya...I trust her naman and yeah, I did tell her about my sexuality crisis.
"Hmmm, how do I put this... basically, I like 2 genders. Girls and boys. I can date a girl, I can date a boy. But not at the same time." I explained briefly.
"So p'wede mo akong magustuhan?"
"gwewk- */cough*/cough" nabulunan ako sa sudden question niya.
"Tubig tubig!" inabot niya sa'kin tubig ko.
I was panting, I look at her with widening eyes.
"Ano sabi mo?"
"I mean girl ako, p'wede mo ako magustuhan? tanong lang aa, no implications or anything HAHAHAH ang over ng reaction mo" sinimangutan ko na lang siya, I was shocked lang kasi it was so sudden.
"I mean, yeah, there's a chance. Pero I'm not saying na I like you romantically. Just making my point."
Naka ngisi nanaman siya, ewan ko talaga.
Being bisexual doesn't mean I'll like every straight person I see. it's just that I'm attracted to both genders. If I really like that person, I wouldn't care if she's a girl or he's a boy. A lot of people are misunderstanding what's being a bisexual mean.
I finished my meal and go on with my day.
---after class---
Hours passed, it's now my shift sa café. Ganitong oras talaga madaming tao since labasan nga ng near by workers and students.
Nagpahinga lang akong saglit kasi kulang ako sa tulog.
Napipikit-pikit mata akong tumingin sa babaeng nasa harapan ko.
Oh-
"Hi, good afternoon. What is your today's special?"
Ang ganda niya. Nakatulog ba ako??? namimilik-mata?
"Uhm hello?"
"Uh yes, uhm, that would be our caramel waffles and café latte" I smiled at her, she's a customer after all...I think mukha akong rude kanina.
"Oh ok, yeah, I'll get those. Thank you so much"
"Name, please?"
"You can just write down irena, thank you" she smiled...at me. Her smile is just..just..wow.
