Chapter 9
3–12 AM.
THE LIGHT raindrops on the roof divided the morning dew and emptiness amidst peace. Sighing, I stood up inimical to my sentiment and goes through the sink. My body is already efficient in staying late at night or waking up at dawn and it's annoying. But gladly, I almost slept a day regardless my eating habits.
First, I do not ate at lunch and night. Tss! I did have a deep slumber while wandering the pit of hell.
I wash what needed to be washed to at least stay fresh this morning.
My gaze went outside as I hear nothing, no raindrops anymore. I smiled a bit as I realized why I dozed off that much. The breeze of rain made me oversleep.
I stopped as a feeling of something's off invaded my system. Wincing, I took my phone to my dress pocket and set it in a video. I roam my eyes in a place where the whole house can be seen and put my phone in the west where a window is located as I hit the red button. I also placed my pillow into a human form at kinumutan ng buo.
Stepping out the house, the town's ground is wet. Roaming my sight, I saw a melancholic light coming out from a stall.
Making sure that no one inside the house will be awake, I slowly shut the door as I start walking to the stall. Gonna light up a cigarette.
After buying and torching one stick, I sat down in its cemented chair. Uh, it's been a while since I smoked. The rain already stopped. Besides, light raindrops na lang naman kaya paniguradong hihinto na.
I wanna see the sun rise so I stay still at my place. It has been hours yet I'm still here. Hold on for a minute and the sun will gonna rise already.
Isisinda ko pa sana ang isang stick para makadalawa na ako nang isang kamay ang tumapik niyon. He get it in my mouth at tinapon. He brought one bubble gum with a mint flavor at iyon ang pinanguya sa akin at tumabi sa akin ng upo.
Hindi ko na lang siya pinansin dahil nagsimula na ang kanina ko pang hinihintay.
"Do you know why the sun often rise at east?" I heard him ask and smiled mentally at the beautiful scenery I had seen.
"The sun isn't really rises in the east and sets in the west. Perhaps the sun only rises and sets twice a day of the year exactly east and west," he answered his own question. Hindi man ako ang nagsabi no'n, pero tila yata sumakit ang ulo ko. Ugh!
"This alignment happens of spring and fall equinoxes. Do you want me to define equinox?" he inquired kaya inilingan ko siya.
"Alam ko ang ibig sabihin niyan. I previously joined a club way back I was in high school who teaches astronomy, no need," out of my knowledge, those words came out.
"I see. Few days, the Sun either rises and sets north or south of east and west. Each day the rising and setting of our Sun change slightly," he continued.
I thought he was done but I am wrong. "It's like this, if you're facing east, whatever lies beyond in that eastern horizon eventually comes up,"
"If you want to study this topic. I suggest you to consider one motion," panimula nito bago tumayo. Pinagpagan nito ang suot at humarap sa akin.
"Pardon?" it's my turn to ask a question after a moment of him, telling what he knew.
It piques my interest.
He smiled at me. "Earth's rotation on its axis. Let's go and prepare some breakfast. Ayris brought one kilo of rice and one pack of hotdogs," he stated bago naglahad ng kamay na kinuha ko naman.
