[That's my good fucking girl.]

Pasinghap akong nagising sabay ang mahigpit na hawak sa kumot. Mabilis ang pintig ng aking puso at habol ko ang aking hininga.

"Oh my God.." Hinilamos ko pataas ang aking mukha. "Oh God.. Anong.." Lumingon ako sa kanan at tinignan ang phone na dapat nasa bedside table.. pero wala! "Oh shit!" Sinambunutan ko ang aking sarili sa kahihiyan. "Anong ginawa mo Thea?!"

AKJHDKJHS!%$^%#

"Okay, okay, kalma, kalma.. baka naman na-misplace mo lang --"

Bumaling ako sa kaliwa at halos gusto kong malamon ng lupa. My phone is resting on my left side.. a confirmation that it was not a fucking dream.

"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit!" Umupo ako at daliang tinurn-on ang phone para i-check kung anong oras nangyari ang kababalaghang hindi dapat nangyari.

But a message got my attention.



YOUR MAJESTY

You fell asleep on me. And no, you don't have to apologize since it was my fault in the first place.

It'll be morning by the time you see this message, so good morning Thea. And thank you for last night. Hearing your voice was what I needed.



"N-Nakatulog ako? Te-Teka, saang part ako nakatulog? Saang -- anong parte ang panaginip?!"



YOUR MAJESTY!!!

GOOD MORNING! HI! ARE YOU AWAKE AT WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?!??



Pumikit ako at nagdasal. Pinagsaklob ko pa sa dalawang kamay ang phone. "Please, please, please. Sana hindi --"

Ting!



I am now.



Magta-type palang sana ako ng tumunog 'yung phone bigla. "Ay semen -- ay mali -- I mean, h-hello?"

[What's wrong Thea?]

Hearing his voice made me remember what happened last -- hephephep! Hindi pa sigurado uy!

"H-Hello.. Your Majesty.." I swallowed. "G-Good morning?"

Rinig ko ang pag-ingay ng spring. Mukhang nagising ko nga talaga ang nahihimbing na si Your Majesty. 

[Good midnight here.]

Yumuko ako at bumulong, "I'm sorry.." 

[You shouldn't be. I did the same thing to you not so long ago. Let's skip that though, what's going on? Your messages seemed urgent, all in caps. Are you okay?]

Tumango-tango ako kahit hindi naman niya ako nakikita. "Y-Yeah.. I'm okay.."

Shit. Pano ko tatanungin 'to?

"I-I, uh.. I want to apologize for, um, falling asleep on you.."

He sighed and probably adjusted himself dahil narinig ko ulit 'yung spring ng kama. [It's fine. Was that why you texted like that? Just because of that?]
