Gel's P.OV.

I woke up having a heavy feeling at mugtong-mugto ang mga mata ko. Grounded ako for a week, and I'm staying in my room. I don't have the mood to get out, and I don't want to see my mom. Naiinis pa rin ako sa mga sinabi niya kagabi. Can't I enjoy for quite some time?

Napabuntong-hininga ako habang tinututukan ang isang blankong papel. I decided to sketch some designs to beat my boredom and of course to keep me distracted. from my thoughts. Pero wala, ni isang ideya ay walang lumalabas sa utak ko.

I turned on my phone. Good thing na hindi ito kinuha ni mom sa akin. It's the only thing that will keep me entertained. Pagbukas ko palang ay sunod-sunod nang naglabasan ang mga text messages nina Olivia, Lucien at Danger. At nagulat ako nang nakita ko rin ang pangalan ni Avix doon.

Napakunot ang noo ko nang maalala ang nangyari kagabi. Nakakahiya. Kung alam ko lang na ganoon ang mangyayari ay sana hindi na ako pumayag na ihatid ako ni Avix pauwi. Binuksan ko ang text message niya. Kaninang ugma lang ito.

From: Avix

Okay lang. May kasalanan din naman ako. Me too, I enjoyed the moment I had with you. Sana maulit pa iyon. Are you okay?

Am I okay? No. I'm not. Binuksan ko rin ang message nila Oli. They're asking me too if I'm okay. Mukhang alam na nila ah? I wonder kung tinanong nila si Avix kung anong nangyari o si Avix mismo ang nagkuwento.

I didn't reply. Kahit kaninong text pa ay wala ako sa ganang magreply. I feel so alone for now. I set aside my phone and focused on the blank piece of paper infront of me.

Ano namang magagawa ko dito kung walang pumapasok at lumalabas na ideya galing sa utak at puso ko? It's just a useless paper again and this day will become useless too.

Napatingin ako sa phone ko, naisip ko kaagad si Avix. Kinuha ko iyon at naisipang magreply sa message nila. I texted Oli, Lucien at Danger na okay lang ako ang not to worry. But for Avix, I knew what I'll text to him is different.

To: Avix

Sorry for the late reply. I'm okay. I'm glad to hear that from you. Saan ka ngayon?

Seconds after I send the message, my phone vibrated. It seems like he waited for my reply?

From: Avix

Working. Bakit? Ikaw?

Working? He's texting while he's working. Baka mapagalitan siya dahil doon. As much as I want to command him not to text me while working, I didn't. I answered his question.

To: Avix

At home. Wala lang. I'm hoping for what you said na sana maulit pa iyon. You're busy pala. Sorry for disturbing.

Kada tunog at vibrate ng phone ko ay agad na napapatalon ang puso ko. Halatang-halata na excited ako sa mga text niya. Napailing na lang ako.

From: Avix

Hindi mo naman ako inistorbo. You can come here kung gusto mo, malapit ng matapos ang shift ko, we can go out. 'Yon ay kung okay lang sa mom mo?

My mom, oh right? I rolled my eyes.
