꧁TONI꧂
I felt like I was lying inside a small boat that has been stranded in the middle of a stormy weather. Alam kong nasa higaan ako pero tila dinuduyan ako ng dagat.
"Antoinette, Darling! Come out of your room now! You haven't taken your breakfast and now it's lunchtime!" tawag na naman ni Mommy.
Hindi ko alam kung pang-ilang beses na akong ginigising nito pero sa ilang beses na iyon ay hindi ko rin namalayan na nakatulog na pala ulit ako.
Then, a sound of a door knob opening, and footsteps stopped my heavy eyes from going back to sleep. Still with eyes closed, I listened to her approaching.
"Goodness, Antoinette! Naglasing ka na naman and all by yourself inubos mo ang isang bote?! Gusto mo bang magkasakit, Darling?!" she might be nagging but her voice still sounds so comforting.
Maswerte pa rin ako dahil kahit papaano ay may isa pang babae sa buhay ko ang hindi sumusuko sa'kin kahit pa na araw-araw siyang nagliligpit ng mga kalat sa kwarto ko.
It's been four days since I lost the will to even get out of bed. Pagkatapos ko kasing ibuhos lahat ng sakit sa harap ng mga kaibigan ko ay napagdesisyunan kong umuwi na lang. I don't even care if I'll fail this semester. Wala rin naman akong magawa kung papasok ako dahil alam kong magsasayang lang ako ng oras.
"Antoinette, I'm not happy with this anymore!"
I tried to open my right eye to look at Mom but closed it back when the sun's glare hit my pupil.
"Mom, the sun!" I complained like a baby then covered my face with a pillow. But instead listening to me, she continued opening the curtain before picking up the bottles of Jack Daniels, and Coke.
Wait! Did I really finish one bottle? I couldn't remember that.
"Toinette, tanghali na. Dapat ay bumangon ka na!"
"Mom? How did I end up in my room?" I asked.
"You couldn't even remember? Naku! Tsaka ka na magtanong. Bumangon ka na dyan at nang makakain ka na."
I honestly don't remember. Nalilito ako kung dumiretso ba ako kagabi sa kwarto o nasa sala ako at doon muna nag-inom bago lumipat dito.
Mommy took the pillow from my face and then, pulled both my left and right arm to force me to sit.
"Oh my gosh! Darling, you're heavy!" reklamo nito pero hinila pa rin naman ako.
The flicker of sunlight to my eyes felt like the culprit of the sharp pain in my head. "Ang sakit ng ulo ko, Mommy!" I complained like a kid again. Pero ang totoo nyan ay ni sa pagsasalita ay tinatamad talaga ako.
"Of course! Wala naman kasing nagsabi sayo na magpakalasing ka! Gabi-gabi ka na lang ganyan! We are not going to tolerate that anymore!"
She sounded really mad but since my soul lost the will to live, fear doesn't exist anymore.
