Back In His Arms

Chapter 12

Isang linggo lang ang lumipas pero tila para bang isang semestre na yung natapos namin.

The work loads are no joke. A week full of orientation, tapos natambakan na kami ng mga readings. I rarely talk to Rap and Katherine. Nagtatampo na nga ko sa kanila but when I see Loize, naiisip ko nalang na since blockmate sila, ganun din siguro karami yung ginagawa nila.

My first week with Loize is perfect. Hahatid niya ko kapag kaya, susunduin niya ko kapag nauna siyang magdismissal o kaya naman ay pupunta ako sa kanila kapag ako ang nauna.

We've been following a routine laltely: Susunduin niya ako, mag-aaral kami sa coffee shop or sa bahay then uuwi na.

It may seem boring, but just him by my side makes me so happy!

Today is Sunday and finally! My rest day. Twice a week lang yung pahinga namin at thankful na ko doon, kasi yung iba nga may subs throughout the week!

I checked my soc med accounts to catch up with the online world. Then I realized, ang tagal ko ng hindi nakakapagpost ng story!

Bumuntong-hininga nalang ako nang mapagtanto ko na I am slowly drowning with my acads again.

I stood up from my bed and went to my full length mirror. I took a shot of my reflection and posted in my story with the caption: Rest day.

I fixed my hair and went outside of my room for lunch. Oo lunch na. 12nn na kasi ako nagising dahil binawi ko lahat ng puyat ko from the past few days.

"Ate!"

Huminto ako sa paglalakad at tumingin sa left side ko kung nasaan ang kwarto ni Gale.

"Long time no see!" Natatawang sabi ko.

Saliwa kasi yung oras naming dalawa. Paggising ko sa umaga wala na siya agad. Pagdating ko naman sa hapon or gabi, it's either she's sleeping or doing her assignments.

Tumakbo siya sakin at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.

"Miss you!" She said.

"OA mo!" I said while hugging her back.

Sabay kaming bumaba, and we found Mom and Dad sitting in the dining.

"We're complete!" Bungad ni Mommy.

"Anong ulam Ma?" Humihikab na tanong ko.

"You're favorite!" Sabi niya habang iniaabot sa akin ang adobo na maraming sili.

Agad naman nawala ang antok ko sa aking katawan at sinimulan kumain.

"So what's your plan for your birthday!" Tanong ni Dad

I looked at him confused and I checked my phone.

Malapit na nga. Di ko man lang napansin.

"Ate, bakasyon tayo?" She said while her eyes are sparkling in excitement.

"Di pwede eh."

As much as I wanted to go on a vacation hindi ko kaya dahil pag nag-absent ako ng ilang araw, parang ilang buwan na ko nawala sa school.

"Next Sunday na yun, do you wanna have a party?" Sabi ni Mama habang kinukuha na yung phone na para bang naghahanap na ng orginizers.

"That's too much ma." I said at uminom ng tubig.

"But---"

"Let's just have dinner. Right Talliah?" Sabi ni Dad.

"Galing mo talaga Daddy!" Sabi ko while giving him a thumbs up.

After lunch, I went to the living room to watch a movie with my sister.

"What to watch?" She said while holding the remote.
