Chapter 17
THE ENTHRALLING orange pink colors shaded throughout the morning sky is like a paradise. Frowning is my significant visage, indeed.
I mean who wouldn't? I seldom sleep at night and here they are, pestering the shit of me. When the dim dawn night begun to rise, I felt the pang of tiredness as my eyelids became heavy. And I slept...
For almost 5 minutes. Isn't it great?
I frowned again because of sleepiness. We are currently eating our breakfast as they talk about random stuffs.
Looking down the fork and spoon in front of me, I frowned once again bago kinuha iyon. Maybe this will lessen my drowsiness.
Napaangat ako ng tingin saka tinakip ang mga palad ko sa mukha bago humikab. Ugh! I'm indeed sleepy!
"What?" I asked them with heightened eyebrows. "You better take your eyes off on me or if you want, I can do it myself," I warned them and they swiftly remove their eyes.
Alright. Be a good comrade and everything is settled.
Aoi pouted bago nagsalita. "Sungit! Ganiyan ba talaga kapag walang tulog?"
I just hissed at her at akmang susubo na ng dugtungan iyon ni Tyron. "She's right. What do you think of taking sleeping pills?"
Shrugging my shoulders as an answer, I ate.
"Not really. I took sleeping pills dati yet I catch difficulty of breathing," I answered them. That's true. I was once took sleeping pills and after a while, I have a hard time inhaling air.
Luckily Ayelie is with me that time.
"Why I don't know that?" Tyron blurted out of nowhere. I hissed at him. "You're busy that time," I answered him sarcastically, emphasizing the word busy for him to be informed.
"Oh! That's her number?" he asked again but this time, I rolled my eyes instead of hissing at him. "Definitely. Just who do you think will help me that time? Mabuti nga't hindi siya sinumpong that time," I told which he replied in a nod many times.
"Sorry," he muttered and peace sign na kinatango ko na lang. I'm not a narrow-minded to fight him with that issue. I understand him that he has his own life too although uh... I sulked that time hanggang sa hindi na maungkat.
"Sleeping pills aren't safe at all. It has potential side effects," Red butted in, removing the unpleasant atmosphere perhaps.
"Atienza's right. How about you take lowest dose? Maybe it will limit the side effects," Ryo injected that made me winced.
"It's not like I have an insomnia or other sleeping disorders to take sleeping pills, guys," I explained. That is however a truth; I don't have any sleeping disorders dahil siguro'y nasanay na ako sa umaga ang tulog dahil na rin sa trabaho ko rati.
It irritates me but what can I do? Nasanay na ako.
"So you meant, you use sleeping pills with no major problems?" Red questioned, making me lift my head. "Point taken," I responded.
He nodded and silence molded the five of us.
I was about to frown again but I blew my cheeks so it won't come out.
"You really is sleepy," I looked at Ryo who just commented. Napahinto sila sa pagkain dahil doon. "Not really. I slept actually and thanks to you guys," then I smiled sarcastically.
"Good," he replied bago pinunasan ang gilid ng labi ng tissue kaya umirap ako. "And how many hours did you slept?" Tyron asked habang nakataas ang kilay.
"5 minutes," I retorted then I heard the four of them choked.
"Yah! Why don't you have under-eyes dark circles?!" Aoi yelled.
