That was a fun fun day. One of my classmates said.

Really fun. Jed agreed.

I’m gonna miss high school. Awwww. We all made that sad tone.

All of us will. Mariah looked at us. I nodded.

Ang daming food.  Jed smiled at me.

Sobra! Thanks to Kittin. Bea said. She smiled at me also.

Really tired. Yun nalang nasabi ni Jiroh.

Ha? You bet. We are all tired. Super tired but I enjoyed it. I really do.  All of us ride my car. We brought the food that are not eaten at the party.

Saan niyo to nakuha lahat? Sabi ni Manang.

Thanks to Kittin! I smiled.

I went to my room. Hello reality. I am starting to get use with this life. I put my stuffs on the table. I changed and I look at my phone. There is no signal. Jeez! 

Guise! Do you have a signal? 

Ugh. Wala. Try outside! Bea pointed at the terrace. Mini terrace.

Kay. Thanks! I went outside my room and there is. Great. I left my phone at the table and I went at the dining table to eat. 

This is so yummy! Can you bring like this all the time? Never realize na matakaw pala si Jed.

Suuurre! Binatukan siya ni Jiroh. 

Sira. Kumain ka nalang. We laughed. After eating hindi ako ang pinaghugas nila ng plates. How nice. I looked at my phone again and my parents hadn't texted nor call. Pfft. I dialed Terry's number. 

Hi! Terry. Did Mom called already? 

No Ma'am why? 

Ugh. Just asking! Thanks. Bye! I hung-up and I dialed my Mom's phone. I look at my watch it's morning there I guess. 

Almarez Residence leave us a msg after the beep. Then I heard the *beep*

Hi Mom..Dad. It's me, tine. Good Morning. How are you? I loved your gift, really. I am having a great time here. You don’t have to worry about me. You know. I am doing absolutely fine. Hope you guise have a time to call back. I'll wait. I am still not sleepy. I love you Mom..Dad! Uggh. I miss you..so much. Then, I hung up. Haaay. Idk what to feel but I feel like my parents doesn't even care about me or they're just busy. Yeah. Maybe. I guess. I hope so. 

Kittin! I looked at Mariah.

Aren’t you planning to get some sleep? I shook my head. 

Not now, I am waiting for a call. 

Okay. Good Night! Don’t be up to late. I smiled at them.

Good night Kittin! 

Good night guise. Sleep tight! They all went to their rooms. I was staring at my phone. 10.30 pm. Why aren't there calling yet?! It's freaking me out. 

Hoy! Nagulat ako si Jiroh pala. 

Ohh. Hi! Aren't sleepy yet? He shook his head. 

Ikaw ba? 

I am waiting for a call. 

Call? I nodded. 

My parents. Hindi pa sila tumatawag eh. I just wanted to talk to them even just for a minute. 

You tried to contact them? I nodded. I stood up and I went to the terrace. It was a cold, silent evening and the stars are shining brightly. He followed. I pointed at the sky.

Maybe there is a way I can track my parents there. He didn't get what I said. 

Never mind. I smiled. I'll try to call them again. While I was calling my parents we saw a flash. Lumingon kami at nakita naman yung mga kaklase namin. Nakikinig sa amin. 

Gabi na ah. Asar nila. 

Yes guise. So go sleep. I giggled. They all leave. 

Matulog na rin kayo. Lovers. I heard someone whisper but I didn’t actually understand it.

So. Matutulog ka na? Jiroh asked and I shook my head. 

Not yet. I'll wait for their call. You can go and sleep now. 

Okay. Good night! Huwag masyadong magpupuyat. Umalis na siya at pumasok sa room niya.

Thanks! Sleep tight. I wasn't planning on sleeping. I really want to talk to my parents. Srsly. Nasa sala lang ako nakatitig sa cell ko. Ang tagal naman nila. I'm yawning already. I don't want to sleep. I don’t really want to go to sleep. Not now.

Jiroh's POV

Nagising nalang ako bigla. 12 palang pala. Nauuhaw na ako. Tumayo na ako at lumabas para kumuha ng tubig. Bakit kaya nakabukas pa ang ilaw dito sa sala? I looked around and there was Kittin sleeping at the couch. 

Kittin. Kittin, wake up. I try to wake her but she isn't responding. She was holding her phone. Kawawa naman siya. I put her phone on my pocket. And I carried her. She isn't that heavy. Binilisan ko na para hindi siya magising. 

I switch the lights on. I put her on her bed. Nilagay ko yung blanket niya. Switch the fan on. I studied the room. She have a clean room. Impressive. 

Mooom.. Nagulat ako. She was sleep talking.

Goodnight Kittin. I switch off the light.  

I wish I was what you wanted. (Fin)Where stories live. Discover now
