"Talliah di ka sasama?" Tanong ni Diane habang nag-aayos ako ng aking gamit.
"Ahhh...no."
"Pano yung reporting natin sa Wednesday?" She replied.
"Sa Wednesday pa naman." I smiled.
"We need to plan." Jake butt in.
"Fundemantal of human communication right?" They nodded. "I heard na it consist of more than 100 meanings sabi ni Griffin."
"Griffin who?" Diane asked.
"I did some reasearch kanina, I'll take the definition part and ako na rin sa powerpoint. Just send me your research." Mabilis kong sabi habang tumatayo sa aking upuan.
"How about the meeting?"
"I'll just chat sa gc. I really need to go." I said and bid them goodbye.
It's been a week since Tita was confined in the hospital. Her operation was postponed for the second time because of complications.
It's just a week pero parang buwan na yung lumipas.
It's so tiring.
He did not ask me to do this, but I want stay by his side. Lalo na at wala si Tito.
Nasaan? Hindi ko alam. I didn't even bother asking loize because I feel like he doesn't want to talk about it.
Tita is our priority right now.
Thank God at hanggang 1pm lang kami ngayon. Pwede pa ako umuwi at magpalit, kumain at magpahinga kahit kaunti.
I was running in the hallway when I bumped into someone.
"Sorry po." I said while getting my things that are scattered on the floor.
"Ms. Cruz!"
"Good afternoon po."
"Good afternoon?" Nakataas ang kilay niyang tanong. "Where is your reaction paper sa video ni Rizal?"
Shit.
Matagal na kasing naka-libing si Rizal. Nananahimik na siya tapos bigla ba naman may magsasabi na hindi raw siya yung namatay sa Luneta!
Does it make sense?
"I'll pass it tomorrow po."
"You should! Kahit ipasa mo pa yun, the highest grade that I can give you is 80!"
"Sir, 1 day late lang naman----"
"Good bye!" He said as he pass by me.

"Talliah, ipaghahain na ba kita ng tanghalian?" Tanong ni Manang habang kinukuha ang dala kong mga gamit.
"Matutulog nalang po muna ako." Sabi ko at nagtungo sa hagdan.
"Nako, eh hindi ka rin nag-almusal kanina!"
"I drank milk and ate sandwich po." I tiredly respond.
Pagkapasok ko sa kwarto ay hindi na ako nag-abala na magpalit ng damit at dumiretso na ako sa kama.
Before closing my eyes, I stretch out my hand to get my phone from the side table.
To: Love
I'll be there at 5pm. Kumain ka na?
It took him minutes to reply back.
From: Love
You don't have to. Just study then rest.
To: Love
love youuu!
Instead of waiting for his reply, I just covered myself with a blanket and went to sleep.
