Wounds
"I'll be the greatest fan of your life, I promise."
People make promises that they will just break.
The promise we made becomes just another broken glass piercing into our heart. It would have been better if we don't give any promises if we don't hold the future, right?
Our memory dances across my mind.
When a person makes a promise, they always leave us with the feeling of waiting for someone—something. They made our hearts hungry for their love and promises.
Petals scattered, candles were all over.
I led myself into a battle I cannot win. I didn't trust my guts when it said that it's a trap, I thought I could manage, I thought I could be so strong to ignore the scattering pain to my heart.
I listen to every line of her promises like it's a rhyme for me. Rhymes that speak of long lost promises, they're so divine.
I smiled as I watched the rain pour heavily in the glass view of my bathroom. I'm resting in the tub, holding a wine while watching the dark sky pouring its tears. The only light that I have is the candles that were all over.
I soaked my body in the thick bubbles and played with it while I sipped to my wine.
The heavy rain didn't stop, so did I. I kept thinking about the past while the sky drops its tears. My phone rang, I ignored it because I don't have the whims to entertain anyone—anything. Other than myself.
"Ayos ka pa ba riyan, hija?" Manang asked from the outside.
"Opo." I answered as I slowly stood.
The cold enveloped my bare skin as I removed myself from the water, it was relaxing. I wore my bathrobe and went out of my bathroom in the master bedroom. After choosing clothes in my walk-in closet, I wore my lingerie and a long silky robe. I took my phone to check if there's any messages other than calls.
From Rense:
Meet me tomorrow at our meeting place. 2:00 pm. ((:
I frowned, is there something we need to talk about? As far as I remember, wala naman. But who knows, baka may pinagdaraanan siya at kailangan niya ng karamay. I sighed and took my pills out from my bedside table, may naka-ready na din na tubig doon dahil alam ni Manang na iinom ako bago tuluyan makatulog. It's my only escape from my insomnia.
I brushed my hair before settling down to my bed, nakainom na ako ng gamot at mukhang tumatalab na 'yon dahil nakakaramdam na ako ng antok. The lights were now dimmed.
Kinabukasan ay nag-asikaso na ako, tanghali na ako nagising kaya ang diretso ko ay sa meeting place namin ni Rense, imbis na mamili ng mga kailangan, I'm more interested with what's on Rense's mind.
"Aalis ka na? Mag-ingat ka." Ani Manang habang naghugugas ng aming pinagkainan. I thanked her and bid goodbye before I left my house. I'm wearing a simple brown skinny dress and sneakers. Nagsuot na rin ang shades dahil ayoko naman makilala agad ako.
