"I finally see you after a week," were Mama's words when I went downstairs for brunch.
Natigilan ako. Sinadya ko talagang magising ng late para hindi maabutan si Angelus. I wasn't expecting Mama. I heard they were launching the new ship. Kaya naman nang siya ang bumungad sa akin ay nakakagulat.
"Good morning—afternoon." Pinilig ko ang aking ulo at humalik sa pisngi niya.
"Bakit ngayon ka lang gumising? Did you sleep late last night?"
"No, I was just exhausted. Mukhang naipon lahat nang pagod ko mula Monday. Sorry for worrying you." I smiled faintly.
Mama sighed and smiled at me. "I'm leaving later. Nagpahuli lang talaga ako dahil hindi ako makakapayag na pati sa Sabado ay hindi kita makita. Your brother was also asking me about you. He even knocked on your door a while ago."
Napawi ang ngiti ko roon. He knocked, huh? Ilang beses ko bang naramdaman na pumapasok siya sa kuwarto ko tuwing gabi? I have no idea what he does every time he visits me in my room. I just feel a presence with me, and I'm too sleepy to even dwell on it.
"I didn't expect college to be dehumanizing. Mukhang mahihirapan akong mag-adjust kung magpepetiks lang ako," sa magaang boses.
"Well..." Bumuntong-hininga si Mama at pagod na ngumiti sa akin. Inayos niya ang buhok ko at sinabit ang iilang hibla sa aking tainga. "I understand. Dumaan din ako riyan. I'm sorry for worrying too much. Please, bring your phone with you. A message every day is enough to make me feel at ease."
I nodded at my mother. "I will, 'Ma."
Waking up in the afternoon felt so wrong. Mukhang nasanay akong madaling araw lagi gumising. Wala pang dalawang oras nang magising ako ay nakaramdam na naman ako ng antok.
I asked the maids to bring me snacks to my room. I set up my television and watched my favorite anime show with snacks with me in bed.
I'm wearing comfortable cotton shorts and an oversized shirt. Kay Papa iyon at kinuha ko pa mula sa bahay nang makauwi noong nakaraan.
The fight between the main character and the villain was intense. Puno na ng Pringles ang bibig ko, kaya naman muntik na akong mabulunan nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan!
I was so sure I had locked it. Para kapag may magtatangkang pumasok, kakatok muna. I didn't even hear the sound of keys. I was so engrossed in the show that I totally forgot about it.
