*POV Marie*
I usually open my eyes with disappointment of being alive.
looking around my room, filled with toys, appliances, and basically everything a person would want..
"What else do you want? you have everything you can have, all you have to do is study properly"
It's tiring.. I want to have fun, i miss time times when there was no wall between me and my family..
We were poor, but at least were all together..
But today, I woke up with anticipation..
Nagising ako and i look around and i see my first love, Ivan..
Wala man lang siyang ginawa sakin, thankful but.. was also expecting..
Tumayo ako at nag simula mag ayos ng sarili, i hate to say it but his apartment is incredibly small.
it's one big room with kitchen and one bathroom.
but nonetheless, i start cooking him breakfast..
I... have to stay positive, today is a good day, i'll be going somewhere incredibly far..
Mall of Asia, Manila, that's today's destination...
So it's 3:40am, meet up namin is sa trece waltermart around 5am, better wake him up..
M: "Love, gising ka na, kain na tayo.."
I shake him gently, i can't believe this person can be this carefree, ket alam mong last day mo na bukas..
If i was in his shoes, maybe i'll just stay awake..
M: "Gising ka naaaaa~"
I: "Hhmm.. gising na po"
M: "Good, latag ko na pagkain dito sa sahig since kahit table wala ka"
I: "n-nag luto ka na?"
M: "I mean i did tell you na i will cook you breakfast.."
I: "Dat ginising mo ako, natulungan sana kita.. tsaka marunong ka pala mag luto.."
M: "Of course! secretly ngalang, pag wala akong kasama sa bahay nag papaturo ako kay ms.Pau, chef namin.."
I: "Woahh.. may chef kayo.. wait hilamos lang ako then let's eat"
M: "okiee.."
I wish i could've brought him to our house..
I wish i could see us graduating together ket mag ka iba kami ng school, that'd be cool..
Like since IT ata siya, he could work at home then i can work as a law women..
then pag uwi ko sasalubungin nya ako with a "welcome home" tapos kiss.. kyaaa so sweeeet..
I wish, my wishes come true.. I never skipped sunday prayers, i pray everyday..
I used to pray for my freedom and guidance.. now i wish please make Ivan live longer...
I: "Tara kain tayo!! looks good hmm"
M: "Yes, it's egg, pancit canton, and hotdog basically everything in your fridge!.."
I: "Hmm sarap, wow.. marunong ka talaga mag luto"
M: "Hmph.. ayaw mo aniwala ahh, bilib ka nanaman tuloy"
for the first time, nag katotoo ang dream ko...
masarap talaga kumain kapag may kasama..
Pag tapos namin kumain kami ay nag handa na at nag bihis..
