Appellation

I: Aurora

I woke up. I saw the cream colored ceiling of my bedroom. I stretched out my arms as if it's the first time I've ever stretched it. "Hyaaaa!"- I yawned as I get up.

I put my hair on the messiest bun on earth and throw my gray fluffy blanket away.

I went near my window and knelled upon the bed next to the window.

I saw birds flying and the light of morning.

Gosh. I missed it.

I sighed in frustration and just banged my head on the pillow.

"Bwisit bwiset BWISEEEET!" I angrily said, punching the bed.

I missed the daybreak. I missed the dawn. I missed the aurora.

*Flashback to 2 years ago*

"So pitiful."

Isang babaeng rebonded, may braces, naka pekeng PRADA bag, full pack ang make up at higit sa lahat... naka mini skirt. In short, malanding plastik. Siya ang nasa harapan ko.

I was seating on one of the benches in the waiting room of the university i'm studying in. She just went in front of me and told me that i'm so pitiful.

Naka earphones ako. But I can hear her, I just pretend that I don't.

"Aba! Nagbibingi bingihan ka pa dyan ah?!" She said as she pulled my earphone out of my ear. So irritating what the heck.

I just looked at them with a confused look and asked coldly, "What?"

She rolled her eyes as if the world just rotated in a whole day cycle.

"What do you mean what?" She gasped as if she can't believe that i'm ignoring her. "Bakit 'di mo ko nilista sa project natin ah? Babagsak ako ngayong year dahil sayo! Alam mo namang this is my 2nd time for this class and I have no intentions to repeat it again!" she yelled.

Siya pa yung nanigaw dyan ah. Kapal ng mukha.

"Natin? Kasama ka pala dun?" I asked playfully.

"What the heck are you talking about? apat na beses lang naman akong 'di umattend tinanggal mo na ko agad?!" She was tramping her high heels cause she was MAD.

I looked at her confused. "Uhm.. Tatlong beses lang naman kami nag meet eh.."

She was stunned and I wanted to laugh so badly.

I stood up. "Huwag mo kong sisihin sa kawalan mo ng responsibilidad. Alangang isama kita eh di ka nga umattend, nagbayad at tumulong kahit isang beses. I'm never going to be the reason for you failing. YOU are the reason. You are responsible for your grades!" and I left.

"What the fuck! Hey come back!" she shouted but I kept on walking as if I didn't hear anything.

~~ Oh everytime I see youuuuu~~~

My phone ringed so I answered it.

"Hello."

"Ugh. Hi Brynn. Kenneth 'to from org."

He was one of the members of the club I just joined. Akala ko naman kung sino.

"Oh?" I replied coldly.

"Gusto kita."

I was stunned for a bit.

The phone ended.

Wtf? That was weird.

Then he sent a message saying: ''I'll come to you when it's sunrise. I'll come to you when it's aurora."

This is getting weirder and weirder. I turned off my phone and continued walking.

I stopped by a police station to have the identified numbered checked.

"The number doesn't exist." sabi nung rookie na reporter yata. Siya yung naka assign dun ngayon eh.

Nagtataka ako. "Eh? Tinawagan ako niyan kanina lang eh!" Parang ninerbyos ako. Malay ko ba kung anong gang na yun at baka maholdap pa ko. Di pa nga bayad yung para sa next sem ko eh! "Anong nangyari? Dineactivate agad?"

The guy sighed. "Ma'am, it's not that the number was blocked or anything. It's just that, it never really existed."

I'm more than just confused. "Then, how could it call me if it never really existed?"

"Network problems po ma'am. Or maybe sa call center such." he said but I still wasn't satisfied. "Mayroon pa po ba kayong tanong? Tinatawag po ako ng senior namin."

He left and I can't move cause of shock.

*End of flashback*

Hahaha. It was fun reminiscing that moment.

But now, what happened?

Where are you kenneth?

Why do I have the will to wake up early to see every aurora every morning?"

When did I ever wanted to wait for you forever...

Even if you didn't really exists?

*Ding dong*

What the heck. Feeling ko nasa drama na ko eh. I went out the door to see who it is.

And I'm more than just flustered and astonished and surprised...

to see HIM.
