The whole room is surrounded by darkness with only one light in the corner to illuminate the room. Under the light sits a girl facing her laptop with fingers swiftly typing on the key board.

"Ansakit na ng mata ko"

Wika nya sa kanyang isip bago kinusot ang matang pagod at may prominenteng eye bags. Pang ilang gabing puyat nya na ba ito? Hindi nya na mabilang.

Simula nong isang linggo pa syang nagpupuyat dahil sa thesis at feasibility study nila. Halos magkasabay kasi yung deadline ng submission ng dalawang papers na iyon. Sa 14 na yung oral defense ng thesis nya at kianbukasan naman yung sa feasibility nila.

She have always wanted to be just a member of the group but unfortunately she was chosen to be the leader for both papers forcing her to step up and take the role.

Since she's the leader she handles almost all the responsibilities. Yes, her groupmates are working on their part but she still needs to dou ble check their work and compile each information before adding it to the file.

"Ilang oras ko na pala tong ginagawa. Kaya pala halos wala na akong maisip na idagdag"

Matapos nyang kausapin ang sarili ay napagdesisyonan nyang magluto ng makakain. Kanina pa kasi kumukulo ang tyan nya pero nabalewala iyon dahil sobra syang naka focus sa ginagawa nya. Kaya ngayon nasira na ang konsentrasyon nya, tsaka nya lamang ulit naramdaman yung gutom.

Nag inat muna sya ng kanyang braso at tumayo. Dahil sa biglaan nyang pagrayo ay biglang nandilim yung paningin ya. Her ears were ringing, her vision is getting darker and before she could even compose herself, she already lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
