O L I V I A

I smiled a little when Savannah appeared on my screen, tapos na siyang maligo. She has her hair wrapped with a towel and a toothbrush on her mouth as well. She's getting ready to meet some of her friends and she told me that a few days ago. She's been away for three weeks now and those weeks have been tough. It's tough not being able to see her in person, touch her skin and hold her close to me.

OA na kung OA pero nangungulila talaga ako sa kanya. Ang hirap na nga na malayo siya tapos yong time difference pa, nakakabagot.

"Have you eaten already?" Tanong niya at nagmumog.

Ang ganda naman, napaka fresh.

"Hey? I'm asking you." She said and snapped her finger.

I blinked twice and cleared my throat. "What did you ask?"

She furrowed her brows, "Are you okay? You look like you have not been sleeping properly."

"Okay lang ako, namimis lang kita." Saad ko at nagbuntong hininga.

"I'm sorry I can't go back yet, my father is planning a party next week and he wanted us to be there for him."

"It's okay, baby. Seeing your face like this helps me a lot so don't worry about me." I said and gave her a smile.

"Have you been skipping meals?"

"Hindi ah, kakain pa lang ako ngayon. I'm waiting for my food." Lie, I have not ordered anything yet kasi di ko alam anong gusto kong kainin.

"Stacey told me you did not join them yesterday."

Sumbongera talaga ang kikay na yon, alangan mag join ako eh kasama niya si Jhoanna. Gagawin pa akong third wheel.

"Eh kasi naman kasama niya yong manliligaw niya. Gagawin pa akong third wheel kaya di ako sumama." Pangatuwiran ko.

Last night pa yong last meal ko, di ako nag breakfast kasi masyado akong tinatamad na mag luto at di naman ako nagugutom pa, syempre di ko yon sinabi sa kanya kasi mag aalburoto utak niyan.

"Honey, why does it matter? I told you not to skip any meals." She sighs and remove the towel from her head causing her hair to cascade down her neck and shoulders.

"Iniinis niya ako kaya ayaw ko siyang makita." I said and flip on my stomach.

I'm still here at my apartment and I have no plan on moving a muscle yet, kanina pa din kami magka usap ni Savannah.

"How's Sam?" I asked, trying to change the topic.

"He's having the time of his life with his friends here."

"You should too, so enjoy your time with your friends."

"I'll try."

"Bakit try?"

"My mind keeps drifting back in the Philippines where this certain someone is skipping her meals."
