BENEVOLENCE
It's 6:30 in the morning. Arman and his beautiful wife are still lying in bed when a sudden knock on the door interrupts their sleep.
"Arman..." A sleepy Sandra taps his chest, as a signal to open the door.
"What?" Arman moves a bit and doesn't really planning to do it.
"May kumakatok.."
But Arman ignores his wife again and makes a nod groan instead.
"Arman, tingnan mo nga kasi.." She elbows him a bit hard and causes him to jolt back.
"Arman.." Now in an irk tone.
"Hon, wag ka malikot. Natutulog pa ko." Then he turns his back on her.
"E yung pinto nga." She holds his shoulder and shakes him.
He groans again. What else can he do?
He rises from the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes and opens the door grumpily.
To his surprise, the faces of Aida, Cynthia, Margaret and Lynn position in front of him.
"Good morning" A very enthusiastic greeting comes from the four.
It leaves his mouth half opened. "Good morning" He answers uncomfortably.
There's something about their smiles which makes him feel awkward.
"A--- anong ginagawa niyo dito? Don't you think it's a bit early t---" He stops talking when he notices them not looking at him, but looking inside of the room; eyeing something.
"Ah, si Sandy ba hinahanap niyo? She's still sleepi---"
"Hon, who's that?" Sandra is already up and immediately goes by his side. Her eyes are still half closed.
"O, ma? Ba't nandito kayong lahat?" She asks
But it seems like their eyes catch something rather intriguing. Oh, yes she forgot. She's wearing Arman's shirt, which she thinks is the reason of their playful looks.
"Kayo ha. Wag niyong lagyan ng malisya, okay? It's not what you think it is." Then she crosses her arms.
The four look up immediately while Arman are trying not to chuckle.
"Ay, hindi.Wala. Walang malisya.." The four answer defensively, avoiding eye contacts.
*flashback*
Sandra was busy looking for something inside their bag. She was kneeling down the floor, muttering words vaguely.
"Ano ba yung hinahanap mo?" Arman was watching tv, already in his pajamas.
"I can't find my PJ's" Her brows were almost meeting each other.
"Baka you put in the other bag."
"Wala dun. I already checked." She spoke grumpily.
"Maybe, you brought nighties instead."
"Tsk. Hindi. I'm sure it's PJ's. I just brought one kasi overnight lang naman tayo."
"You sure, nadala mo? Baka naman hindi mo nailagay sa bags."
She faced palm herself and shook her head.
"I don't have any more clothes to put on. I only have my dress for tomorrow, papauwi."
"Then don't put something on. May comforter naman." Arman teased her playfully but it just made Sandra angrier. She sent him a glare and threw a shirt hard on him - straight to his face.
