I woke up feeling so surreal... I came home late last night but it doesn't matter because what matter was what was happening to me? What was happening to my heart? Was it being swayed? What was happening with Bellamy? What's happening? It was like a blink of an eye that I didn't even notice it.
''Celestine... Malalate ka na anak...'' Katok ni Papa sa pinto. Napatingin nga ako sa relo malapit nang mag 8. Ang hirap pa namang sumakay papuntang opisina tapos trapik pa. Kainis naman! Nasobrahan akos a pag dadaydream. Letse. Bumangon ako at nag handa nang maligo.
''Opo pa, gising na ho...'' I answered then I heard his footsteps. Paalis na siguro siya, nag tatrabaho si Papa sa isang talyer eh. Matagal ko na siyang pinatitigil eh pero ayaw niya mas mababaliw daw kasi siya kung nandito lang siya sa bahay. He hasn't move on yet from my mother; I mean she definitely left him. He's supposed to be mad at her. I just shrugged I will never understand the depth of my father's love. Sometimes love makes you do things you've never done before.
It took me 30 minutes to fix myself. Kulang pa nga eh kaso malalate na ako. Kinuha ko na yung bag ko nung nasiguro kong okay na lahat at nag medaling bumaba. ''Pa alis na po ako.''
''Kumain ka muna.'' Then he took the cup of coffee and bacon tapos isinubo sa akin yung bacon. Then ininum ko yung kape na timpla niya. This has always been my mannerism since I was young. Lagi kasi akong nalalate kaya lagi akong hindi nakakakain nang lunch, in the end my father will quickly feed me. I'm still a baby for him and I will always need my father because if it wasn't for him wala sana ako ngayon. When I'm done I kissed him on the cheeks.
''I love you po.''
''Umuwi ka nang maaga ha? Magluluto ako nang dinner nak.'' I nod my head. He waved his hand to say goodbye.
Nag-taxi na ako papuntang office pareho lang naman eh. I can't help but to think what Bellamy said last night. ''No one's allowed to call you Czarina but me...'' After he said that kinuha ko yung phone ko tapos umalis na ako hindi na ako nag pahatid dahil baka ma-issue siya at kayak o namang umuwi mag-isa. He doesn't own me, no one owns me. I own myself. Why are they even calling me a princess? I'm not even half of it.
''Congrats bebe gal.'' Bungad sa akin ni Leigh nung nakita niya ako tapos niyakap. Huh?
''Congrats Ads...'' Sunod-sunod na bati nung iba sa akin. Muntimang lang itong mga ito. I gave them the weird look. Oh mi Gads. What's happening with them? Nung nakaabot na ako sa desk ko inilipag ko muna yung bag ko.
''Ano ba iyon? Ano?'' I asked Leigh. She was smiling or more like grinning.
''Magcecelebrate daw tayo mamaya sabi ni boss kasi successful yung launching nang magazine natin ngayon and...'' She stopped then took out her phone. What? Pabitin eh... Then hinarap niya sa akin yung phone niya. Nakataas ang kilay kong nakatitig lang sa phone niya.
