At My Worst (Teen Love Series #2) (Ongoing)

CHAPTER 4

NICE TO MEET YOU, RAE!

Jerome's Point of View:

"Kring! Kring! Kring!"

OMG! Ang alarm ko. Buti na lang I heard it. Nag set ako ng alarm na 4:30 in the morning para mag prepare. Even though sleepy pa ako ay I still manage to get to wake up and stand towards the door. Baka kasi magising din si Lola. Ako na muna ang magsasaing ng all. Kaya naman bumakod na ako and fix my bed and get outside. I turn off the alarm on my phone. I open the windows with curtains on it. Turn off the lights and sinuot ang bakya.

Maya na muna siguro ako maliligo. I already plantsada my uniform. I get my towel na rin para isahan na lahat pati pagligo ko sa labas after everything. I went to the kitchen and nag start akong manghilamos. Kinuha ko na rin ang kaldero na sasaingan ko ng bigas. I rapidly wash it through sponge and liquid dishwashing soap and afterwards, nilagyan ko ng 5 cups of rice.

Kumuha na rin ako ng veggies sa lamesa para gawing sinigang for breakfast. I washed the dishes and put it on the table. Para na nga akong multitasker nito e. Tank na muna ng gasol ginamit ko sa pag cook ng rice dahil wala kaming rice cooker. Low class lang po kami hihi. Wala na rin kasing panggatong, I didn't get some of those kasi nabusy akong mamasada yesterday. Maybe later after class.

After kong malagay sa tank ang kaldero ng rice, I immediately went to the place where the veggies are and cut it one by one. Nilagay ko na rin sa kaldero para pakuluan later. I get the bread inside the plastic cover and nag boil na rin ako ng hot water for coffee. When coffee is life, everything becomes ease.

Petchay, squash, kangkong, alugbati, dahon ng ube, sitaw, sayote, and etcetera. I get some spices on the garapon and combine it all around. This would be a long tiring day. Kaya I really appreciated Lola's Unconditional Love to me kasi naranasan ko na rin ang hirap not just because I'm her responsibility but also being a loving grandson to her. Sige lang, La. One day, someday aahon din tayo.

After maluto ng rice ay kinuha ko agad and pinalit naman ang takuri ng tubig to boil and after that ang kaldero na naman ng veggies. I didn't take a rest dahil time is gold. I'm going to take a bath pa and gisingin si Lola para kumain. I already prepared her glass of milk and her maintenance medicine. Hindi ko pa muna binuksan ang windows here dahil madilim-dilim pa, maya na mga 5:30 for sure.

Kinuha ko na rin ang Tupperware na lalagyan ko ng baon. I get the frying pan to fry some sunny side egg. Here it is. Nilagay ko na ang hot water sa cup of coffee ko pati na rin sa glass of milk ni Lola and pinalit naman ang kaldero ng veggies. After that, tsaka ko isusunod ang egg to fry. Hays. Panindigan ko talaga 'to haha.

Actually madali lang naman maluto ang veggies sinigang. Kaya naman isinunod ko na ang paglagay ng frying pan para sa egg. I put an oil with it and get the veggie sinigang on the table. I organized already the spoons, forks, knives, plates and glasses for breakfast. Goods na lahat. Once all done, I'll make sure to wake Lola and she'll going to eat na lang. Tsaka na rin ako maliligo. Sabayan ko na muna siyang kumain.

After kong magprito sa itlog ay I off the tank and nag prepare na for all. Tiyak kong magiging happy si Lola with this. I opened the windows since it's 5:30. Grabe! One hour pala ang minimum time ko to spent. Kaya naman I undoubtedly knock on Lola's room to wake her up. Para makakain na siya for sure din na gutom siya since she didn't eat dinner last night.

"La, good morning. Wake up na hihi." Masayang bungad ko.

"Apo, magandang umaga. Buti naman gumising ka na. Maligo ka na diyan baka mahuli ka sa klase mo." She responded and open the door and nagmano ako.
