Drowned

Chapter 3

Sometimes even the smallest bit of hope could shake your heart. Even though it's faint, even if it's just a flicker , you can never tell your heart not to hope again.

Waking up at the right side of the bed is definitely a wonderful feeling. Sino ba namang hinde, kung nag-goodnight sayo ang crush mo?

My thoughts about him being weirded out by what I did vanished the moment he texted me goodnight, but still napapa-isip ako kung may epekto ba sa kanya ang ginawa ko? Or wala lang ? If it's the latter, then 'Ouch' naman.

I got up from my bed and checked the time.

Saturday 7:30, I thought of what I'm supposed to do today and decided to take a bath and fix my self. I don't usually dress up beautifully when I'm home. I guess you can say that I'm the kind of girl who has a messy look kapag nasa bahay lang.

Oversized shirt with cotton shorts and to top it up with a messy bun. I also wear my glasses because when I'm at home it's either I'll be at my room reading books, watching movies in the living room, or eating foods in the kitchen. Very ideal, right?

That is what I was supposed to do again today but I changed my mind, since it's a great day to go out. I smiled at my self when I saw my overall look in the mirror.

Yshtar always reminds me not to put some make up on and I never really asked her why. Maybe because my features are already charming? Well, regardless, I'd put some today.

The room is a bit dim, di ko na binuksan ang curtains, I dazely put some blush on, mascara and eyeliner and my signature red lipstick while humming, it's a perfect day kasi. I don't know if its a good combination but I shrugged my thoughts off.

Wearing a baby blue off-shoulder paired with a white high waist jeans and white sneakers. My hair is in a messy but not so-so bun. I mentally laughed at the term. I put on my wayfarers and my shoulder bag to complete my look.

"Perfect." I tap my shoulder for a job well done.

I happily glide and went down the dining hall while I was humming. I took my wayfarers off, baka they'll just tease me and ask me where's the sun? Mabuti nang prepared.

My brothers are already up and they're eating breakfast quietly not until lumingon sila sa direksyon ko.

Binuga ni Kuya Klyde ang cereal na kinakain niya sa mukha ni Kayden na nakanganga lang sa akin, habang si Kuya Kreed naman ay nabilaukan.

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused by their reactions. "What's wrong with you guys?" I asked them, at nilapitan na sila.

Kuya Klyde creased his forehead as if he's the one confused if I am for real? " No, what's wrong with you? " He asked back.

Tiningnan ko sila isa-isa and their reactions are the same, anticipating my supposed answer. They keep looking at my face , like it's the first time they saw me with make up on.

Tumikhim si Kuya Kreed and he looked at me seriously.

"Rina, may pinagdadaanan ka ba?" He asked concerned, and I looked at him bewildered.

Me??? May pinagdadaanan? What's wrong with them ba? Are they tripping me again?

"No Kuya, I'm feeling great." I answered him straightly.

Series of laughters burst out from the hall, nangunguna ang boses ni Kayden na parang mamamatay na sa kakatawa, sunod naman si Kuya Klyde na may pa-hawak pa sa tiyan niya, and Kuya Kreed is pursing his lips trying to hold back his laughter.

I'm still confused as to what is going on, when Kayden went to me.

" Bunso, here..." He gave me his phone and I looked at him confusedly.
