TUESDAY

📲 To: Liz
*Liz, I'll be running late. Traffic. And I woke up late also. Please advise Mich. Thanks.*

I threw my phone at the passenger seat and removed my shades. Fuck this traffic. Fuck this sunlight. Fuck these people. Fuck everything!

Masamang-masama yung gising ko this morning.

Jho asked me to leave last night. And wala na akong nagawa since I don't want din to make pilit and to start a scene.

I mustered all my courage to leave her with Ged - Drinking. She looks problematic.  I want to console her. To be with her. Pero ayaw niya.

She didn't even looked at me while I was there standing - looking dumb and waiting for her to come with me at umuwi na.

When I got home, I felt numb. I questioned myself if worth it ba na inopen ko yung sarili ko sa kanya. I was right all along. It's too early.

Masyado pang maaga para sabihin ko sa kanya yung totoong nararamdaman ko. I had a hard time sleeping last night. And I had those dark visuals again.

This morning, I woke up with a headache and to add to my already worse morning - I have no calls or texts from her.

Well, I guess, I'm not that important.

I was taken out of my reverie when I heard my phone rang.

*Tina Calling*

"Yup?"

"Wow. Bad mood?"

"Please don't start, Tins. I'm not in the mood."

"Ohhh. Sorry. San ka?"

"Papunta pa ng office. I'm late."

"Wanna have lunch? I'll be going to SLM today. May important discussion daw kasi about our client."

"Today's what again?"

"Tuesday. Why?"

Then I remembered ako pala yung pupunta sa SLM today since it's a Tuesday.

"I might meet you there. Sige na, Tins. Magda-drive na ako."

"Okay. See you later, B! Ingat!"

Now, I'm not sure if pupuntahan ko pa siya. Maybe if she'll text me or call man lang. Pero wala eh.

I felt like I was floating like a ghost habang naglalakad ako papuntang office. Hay. Why am I so affected kasi.

"Good morning, Ms. Bea! Someone sent you flowers po. Nasa table niyo na."

Flowers? Unusual.

"May naka attach bang card?"

"Yes po."

"Oh. Okay. Any messages left for me?"

"Ms. Mich asked po for the update with the new client. She needs it before lunch time. Also, Mr. Prince Rivero dropped by kanina."
