Be With You

01

I lightly rub my eye and reached for my phone as soon as I woke up and checked my messages and social media. Bumungad agad sa akin ang sandamakmak na mensahe sa mga kakilala, and dozens of messages from our group chat, ranting that they were already late but still had the time to chat. I kept scrolling through my phone and saw lots of posts congratulating Quen Jung for winning the MVP title last week.

Wow, lucky him. Ah, no. It's not luck he was always good at everything.

I stop scrolling when I saw another post from my exe's wedding. Before I could think twice I already checking each photos.

Well, they look happy.

I heaved a deep sighed when I felt something in my chest, Of course, they still a lingering feeling seeing him happy now with someone else, even if we didn't work out i can't lie to my self that I loved him.

It's already 7am in the morning but here I am still lying on my bed, Huminto na ako sa pagcheck ng social media at baka kung ano pang makita ko. I patted the head of my dog that was comfortably lying on my stomach. I pouted as I stared at my ceiling, I have an early class for project design this Monday morning and a scheduled org after pero tinatamad akong puntahan.

"Should I skip school today, gommie?" I mumbled, talking to my dog. He just bark at me, nakangiti ko siyang tinignan. "I guess that's a no?"

My eyes darted on my door when I heard Kyle, my younger brother's loud voice and continues knock. Balak pa atang sirain ang pintuan ko.

"Ate! Gising na! Ate!"

"I'll skip today!" I joked.

"Mommy!"

"It was a joke!"

I chuckled and decided to finally get off the bed, I played with gommie for a little while before I took a shower. I stared at my reflection on the room mirror and inhaled a sharp breathe before doing my ritual. As if it's my first time some one's breaking my heart, hindi naman that's why I shrugged everything off. I need to be okay. After I put a light make up on my face, I choose what to wear today inside my closet, this helped me life my mood too and I'm glad I took fashion course. Wearing a stripe polo long sleeve and pattern vest I looked at my reflection on the mirror again and even took a selfie, and posted it.

Today is a new day.

I grabbed my favorite designer bag and headed to the dining table, my parents already there eating breakfast with my older sister Kate and Kyle. They were talking about Kate's upcoming engagement after she finish her masters this year. Hindi ako umupo sa lamesa at kumuha nalang ng sandwich, I'll just buy later before my class.

"Kira, seat and eat a proper breakfast." Dad told me and tap the chair beside him. I smiled and shook my head.

"You should woke up early, broken hearted kas--ouch!" I smacked Kyle's head to stopped her from talking. My parents didn't about this, hindi ko rin balak sabihin. I don't want to hear them say "I told you so."

"Stop hurting your brother, Kira." Mom looked at me.

"He started it!" I almost rolled my eyes. I know my mom would scold me more kaya umalis na ako. If I'll join them on breakfast I'm very sure that I will just hear her compare me with Kate's achievements and how my sister were perfect in everything that she do. Lalo na ngayon na Ikakasal na rin siya. She already found her right guy.
