The Pain of Yesterday

Chapter 1

"Puwedeng paki-lower volume ang bunganga niyo? Akala ko kasi paluwagan pinuntahan ko, hindi simbahan." I looked at each of them, probably glaring.

Their jaw dropped because of my sudden outburst. Pakapalan ng mukha ito.

Kahit may fogi kayong kasama wala akong pake! Kitang nagde-devotional ang tao, eh. I'm literally holding a small journal book and a panda pen.

Dali-dali silang nagtulakan, nadapa pa yata ang isa. My eyes met the handsome guy again. He's the only one who didn't move at his position.

"Try to talk nicely, Miss. Have some basic etiquette."  He looked at me, disgusted by the way I approached them.

His eyes looks lifeless for some reason, though.

He stared at me blankly for a second before turning his back and continued to walk.

"Hah! Ligwak 'yang kapogian mo kung marunong kang mang real talk!" pahabol ko.

That was not a lie. I lacked at having some good manners. That's one of the things that I need to fix about myself.

Hays, wala talagang perfect na tao. Ako sana, malapit nalang.

"Things like this are inevitable, instead of breaking down, we should fight this demons."

"Ay jusko po!"

Napatayo ako sa presenya ng babae na bigla-bigla nalang umahon sa lupa. Bakit hindi ko siya na notice? Ano 'yun? Teleport?

But this girl must be an angel, she looks like one. Need ko na bang magbait-baitan?

"Ah-ha-ha-ha, y-yes?" nag-aalinlangan kong tawa at bumalik sa pag-upo.

"I'm Flor, how about you? It's our first and last meeting with each other. I guess it's not that bad to befriend with a stranger."

Hahahaha ano raw? Ano isasagot ko? Slight?

"I'm Eartha. It's nice meeting you." I lend my hands to do a handshake and she didn't hesitate to do the same.

Charot, 'di ko alam kung masaya nga akong nakilala ko siya.

But I'm truly mesmerized of her visual. She can be truly an angel at this point, but her eyes are a fox type one. Mukhang suplada.

I'm not the type of person to say that she's gorgeous if she's not. So, I know that this girl is really a catch.

I stopped staring at her when my phone notify.

Pwede mo bang tingnan kung may natira pa ang Pringles q sa lamesa.

I pouted when I realized that the angel girl who's mataray is still praying. Grabe naman ang spiritual life niya. I wanted to have this kind of friend.

I return my attention to my phone when it beeped again. Napatingin sa akin ng masama si angel na mataray dahil mukhang na distorbo ko pa ata? Hindi ako sure.

"Sorry!" I apologized and did that peace sign thingy.

From: Dew Dylan Joaquin
wala.

From: Eartha Bianchi Joaquin
Iyan ang pake ko.

Ang tagal naman niyang matapos mag pray. I need to go home! Baka kasi may words of wisdom pa siya sa akin.

"You can say something now." Saad ng anghel na mataray kahit nakapikit pa.

"Aalis na'ko. May pa words of encouragement kaba ja'n?"

Mukha kasi siyang mahilig magbigay ng advices. Gusto ko malaman niya na may halaga naman ang mga pinagsasabi niya.
