Hi, hope. don't yah miss me?
It was 11:30 in the morning when I texted Elpis. And Guess what, Bored na bored ako at this point. I was waiting for her reply when I remembered my first encounter with her, I didn't gave her a soft time time when she was interrogating me.
I even asked her want name should I address her. that day she informed me that I may call her Elpis or whatever name I liked. I knew it was impolite, but she knew I felt comfortable calling her Elpis. she didn't mind anyway.
From: Ms. Elpis
oh, Hi Ria. I do miss you.
See you tomorrow.
Is there something you want me
to prepare for tomorrow?
I almost forgot that I have another session with her tomorrow. Napa hinga ako ng malalim. well, I think I have something to look forward to. Mabuti na din sigurong mayroon akong pagkakaabahan bukas. but please I don't want to want to have Under-the-weather Feeling tomorrow.

I mean, coffee. didn't mean that.
my keyboard is autocorrected.
I sent my message with peace sign emoji. Hindi ko na siya hinintay pang mag-reply at ipinatong ko nalang sa table ang cellphone ko. Lumabas ako nang kwarto at pababa na sa hagdanan patungong Living area.
Wait. Living area. Napatigil ako sa pagbaba at patakbong umakyat muli sa aking kuwarto. Hindi ko pa man din nagagawa ang plano ko ay tumatawa na ang buong pagkatao ko.
Mabilis kong binuksan ang pintuan ng kuwarto ko at kinuha ang cellphone mula sa mesa bago mabilis na tumakbo pababa sa living area, doon ko na gagawin ang plano ko.
I received one message from Elpis.
From: Ms. Elpis.
Okay.
Let's have some coffee tomorrow.
Isinawalang bahala ko iyon at Itinuloy ang kalokohan ko.
