VALID PASSION

Chapter 7

I wake up when my clock alarmed.

Exactly 5:00 A.M. 

Napahilamos ako ng mukha gamit ang aking kamay.

I saw my self reflection through mirror. It looks like I am lack of sleep. Dinalaw na naman ako ng nakaraan. I let out a huge sigh.

Wala na akong katabi ng magising ako. Wala na rin ang gamit ni ate Avril probably she left early. Maybe she got some works or endorsement. I left out a sigh.

Inayos ko ang higaan. Umalis ng kwarto. Bumaba patungong kusina. I saw our two yayas doing their jobs. Cleaning our house and cooking foods.

"Kakain ka na ba Avi?" Tanong ni Yaya Mat sa'kin ng makita niya ako.

"No. Maybe later. Just want some dark chocolate drink Yaya." Tipid ko ngiti kay Yaya Mat

"Ipagtitimpla na kita hija." kukuha na sila ng baso nang bigla kong inawat

"H'wag na po Yaya Mat. I'm going to do that thing. Tapusin niyo nalang po ang niluluto niyo." Ngiti ko sakanila at kumuha na ako ng baso.

"Ano ka ba! Umupo ka roon." Pag pupumilit ni yaya.

"Yaya Mat naman. I'm not a kid anymore, I'm sure here. HAHAHAHHA." Tinawanan lang ako ni yaya at pinabayaan na.

Umupo ako sa dining table.

"Ya. Is ate Avril eat her breakfast?" tanong ko at ngumisi sa'kin si Yaya Mat

Maybe she can't believe that I'm concern to ate.

"Alah e, ay pinakakain ko e. Doon na lamang raw. Uminom lamang ng gan'yan Avi." Turo nila sa iniinom ko "Matigas rin ang ulo ng isang iyon eh." Aniya na natatawa pa.

Pagkatapos kung inumin ang dark chocolate. Kumain na lamang ako dahil hindi pa gising si Lola.

Yaya cooked, bacon and scrambled eggs with onions. Pinaglabasan na lamang nila ako ng tasty breads. Sabi ko'y sabayan nila akong kumain pero may ginagawa pa raw sila.

Kumain akong mag-isa.

I took a bath and I heard Lola who's eating her breakfast.

Pinapakain na rin ni Yaya Tesi si Chichay at nilakad-lakad niya sa Garden.

Ako naman ay wala naman pupuntahan dahil weekend ngayon. I tried to make myself busy, that's why I clean up my room to make it looks like fresh and starting over.

After that, I grabbed Chichay from the garden so that we can make some bonding outside our house again. Naglakad lakad lang kami nang mag-vibrate ang phone ko.

Ms. Cabrera.

"Ms. Emfugerra, go to school at 10:00 A.M. so we can start our lesson for your upcoming competition this Monday. Bring your own school supplies and reviewers. Don't worry I'll give some of reviewers and teach you some topics.

And from that there's no way to make some tour for my Chichay. Kusang bumalik ang aking paa sa bahay upang mag-imis at mag-ayos ng gamit.

40mins before 10 o'clock. Pinaalam ko na rin kay Lola Dhel ang importante kong lalakarin.

"Eat some for your lunch, Avi." Ani Lola Dhel na magluluto na raw ng pananghalian kahit maaga pa para raw makakain ako.

"Lola, I already had a breakfast. Don't worry about my lunch. Sagutin nalang ni Ma'am Cabrera." Pagbibiro ko sakanila.

"Sino naman ang maghatid sayo aber. Your kuya Rojet is in day off Avi." Aniya

"Eh, Taxi. Tricycle sa kanto." Sabi ko naman na hindi nag-aatubili. Nagkibit balikat pa ako na parang alam ko kung saan may tricycle.
