We headed back home safely. We really did enjoy it though all of us got tired.

Pabagsak akong humiga sa kama. Walang ganang magbihis sa sobrang pagod. Naalala ko ang sinabi sa akin ni Ark. Inimbitahan niya ako sa church nila. Pero hindi ako agad sumagot ng 'oo' kasi bago sa akin iyon. Tsaka ipagpapaalam ko din muna sa magulang ko.

Nagising ako sa katok mula sa pinto.

Nakatulog pala ako. But I'm still sleepy.

Binuksan ko ito at tumambad ang nakangiting mukha ni Manang Emma.
"Ito, sabi ng mommy mo dalhan nalang daw kita ng pagkain kasi pagod ka raw sa activity niyo sa school."

Nginitian ko siya. "Maraming salamat po, Manang Emma. Ihahatid ko nalang po sa baba pagkatapos ko."

Tumango naman ito at umalis na.

I walked up to my table and placed the food on top. It's rice with curry, sinigang, adobo and a red velvet slice of cake dessert.

Napagpasyahan kong magbihis muna dahil hindi ako komportable sa damit ko. May pawis na din 'yon.

I prepared my bath and robe. My shampoo is empty already so I decided to get the shampoo in my room that Rin gave to me.

After I took a bath, I opened the bilibili to watch an anime while eating. Nakasanayan ko na itong gawin kaya ewan ko nalang talaga kung makakakain ako nang walang pinapanood na shoujo anime.

I clicked the Maid Sama and started to watch. Nasa episode 24 palang ako pero may sunod na namang suggestions si Rin.

I devoured my food on the plate. It's not that much that's why I finished it quickly. And of course, it's delicious!

Bumaba ako para ilagay ang kinainan sa lababo. Nakapatay na rin ang ilaw sa kuwarto nina mama at manang. The dim chandeliers are the only thing that serves as light.

It's already 10 p.m night but since I'm not feeling sleepy yet, I'll go to the 3rd floor for some workout. 30 minutes will be enough though.

Pagkataas ko ay naabutan ko si kuya na nasa gym din.

"You seem to enjoy your day, huh?" bungad nito sa'kin habang nagpu-push-up.

Binato ko ito ng yoga mat. "Ulol! Pagod kamo."

"Then what is this?" a smirk formed on his lips. He showed me a picture.

My cheek flushed. It was my picture with Ark when we were chatting! Talagang hindi nagbibiro ang Lokin na 'yon!

"I-inaya niya lang naman ako sa church nila!" why am I sound stuttered?!

"Church, huh?"

"Yes! Ano pa bang gusto mo?!" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Magpapakasal na ba kayo? That was pretty early. Don't you think, sis?"

Nanlaki ang mata ko. "Kuya naman! Wala ka talagang tino kausap. Diyan ka na nga!" I hissed.

I marched outside the gym and changed my spot. I walked towards my dance studio instead. As soon as I got inside, I closed the door and locked it.
Lumapit ako sa malaking salamin at kinagat ang loob ng pang-ibabang labi nang makitang kulay pulang sili na ang mukha ko.

Why? I cupped my face. May sarili ring mundo ang mukha ko at nagkukusang pumula! Ni hindi ko nga pinapahintulutan! Oh, gosh. Ganito na ba ang epekto mo sa'kin, Arklow? You're being too much!
