KRIIIIIIING! KRIIIIIIIING!

Rays of light was already flooding my room. Nakakasilaw. Hindi ako kumikilos. Nanatili lang akong nakahiga sa kama habang tinitignan ang picture ni Mommy.

KRIIIIIIING! KRIIIIIIIING!

Ilang oras na ba akong nakahiga? Di na din yata ako natulog kakaisip. Questions started striking in my head.

Buhay pa kaya si Mommy?

Kaano-ano ko si Nate?

I want to dismiss the thought pero sunud-sunod ang mga naiisip kong posibilidad. Truly, the possibilities are endless.

KRIIIIIIING! KRIIIIIIIING!

Kung buhay nga si Mommy, does that mean Daddy lied to me? Pero imposibleng buhay si Mommy!

Coincidence, right. Baka coincidence lang.

I awaken from my thoughts when someone entered my room and turned the alarm off.

I smiled at him. We stared at each other for minutes and still, no one's moving.

"Fine! I give up! Tumayo ka na. Breakfast is ready. Tulog mantika ka talaga!"

Tch! Baliw talaga 'to si Tanda.

Nang mapansin niyang di ako kumikilos, kinuha niya yung braso ko at sapilitan akong tinayo.

"Eto na po Prinsipe Tanda!"

He pat my head at inalis ko naman yun agad. Bwiset talaga 'to! Ginawa pa akong aso! Kung di ko lang talaga namiss 'tong ugok na 'to, makakatikim 'to ng malutong kong sapak.

From that, I heard snapping of fingers. I shook my head and immediately saw HM, snapping her fingers infront of my face.

"Dear, are you okay? Kanina ka pa nakatulala."

Woah, revelation. I scanned my room. Tito's not here. Damn! I spaced out.

"I'm fine, just hungry-- I think."

"You don't look fine to me, dear. Have you seen your face? I mean, look at you! Para kang di nakatulog."

Is she telling me that I look terrible? Gosh, HM. Minsan nakakaasar din yung mga taong sobrang honest. I just gave her my 'Di-naman-talaga-ako-natulog look'.

"Anyway, breakfast is ready. Maligo ka na! Please."

I smiled at her at dumiretso na sa banyo to do my morning rituals.

Pagkatapos kong maligo, humarap na ako sa salamin. Badtrip! May pasa pala ako sa gilid ng labi ko.

Gumamit nalang ako ng concealer para matakpan yun. Pagkatapos kong mag-ayos, pumunta na ako sa dining area para kumain.

Umupo na ako. My mouth waters at the sight of the food at the table. Yuuuum!

I turned my gaze kay HM na medyo aligaga. Right! Kaya nga HM e. She's the Head Mistress of QU and today's a school day.

"Sweetie! Andito ka na pala. Ayos lang ba kung sumabay ako sa'yo kumain? Malelate na kasi ako-- "

"You don't have to explain. Come, eat."

Umupo na siya sa harap ko at sabay kaming kumain.

"HM, how's QU nga pala?"

"Fine, actually it has been ranked first sa lahat ng schools in Asia. Okay naman ang business. Students have been cooperative. Pero, what exactly do you wanna know?"
