Life has never been this… Ugh… Oh God why? What did I do to deserve this?

Tahimik kami ni Sandy na nasa kitchen counter habang umiinom ako ng kapeng ako mismo ang nagbrewed at kumakain sya ng sandwich na ako mismo ang nagprepare.

“Ice, why so silent?” Tanong nya sakin habang nakaplaster ang isang napakalaking ngiti sa mukha nya.

Nanatili akong nakatingin sa tasa ng kape ko. I don’t know if I’m gonna answer her or I’ll keep still just like what I am doing since the incident an hour ago. Speaking of which, pakiramdam ko gusto kong iuntog ang ulo ko sa pader nang maalala ko na naman ang nangyari. Lalo ko pang gustong lumubog sa kinauupuan ko nang tumingin ako sa kanya.

Nakatingin sya sa akin. She’s staring at me. With the biggest smile on her lips. With malice. With mockery. And then she burst out laughing like she’s never laughed all her life.

“My god Ice! Your reaction’s like I’m gonna rape-slay you any moment!” She said after her laughter faded in her lips.

I keep still. Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi nya. Pero kahit ano pang saway ang gawin ko sa utak ko, bumabalik pa din sa isip ko yung mga nangyari kanina.

Oh God why?

The rays of the sunlight woke me up. Medyo masakit ang likod ko dahil hindi ako nakatulog ng maayos sa couch. Tiningnan ko yung wall clock. 7:24 pa lang ng umaga. Hindi ako sanay gumising ng maaga tuwing linggo, pero mukhang nanibago yata ang katawan ko, knowing na meron akong kasama sa loob ng bahay.

I took advantage of the early time to take a shower before I prepare our breakfast. I knocked on my room whereSandy was sleeping. Nang walang sagot ay tuluyan na akong pumasok sa loob para kumuha ng isusuot ko. Now that I realize it, kailangan ko na palang maglabas ng damit sa sala para hindi na ako maglabas pasok dito para kumuha ng damit.

It feels rather awkward that I felt like a stranger entering in my own room. I tiptoed my way so I should not wake Sandy up. Tulog na tulog pa din sya. Alas dos na din yata ng madaling araw ng matapos kami sa pagkekwentuhan.

Dumiretso ako sa wardrobe ko para kumuha ng damit, pagkaraan ay dahan dahan na akong lumabas.

I immediately hit the shower. Too bad I forgot something. Something which I know I’ll regret all my life.

In just a snap, every nerves in my body felt the most embarrassing and awkward situation ever in my whole existence. There she was. Fresh from sleep, wearing the pajamas I gave her last night. I froze to where I was. The water dripping from the shower was heard. But at the same time, I heard my heart beating so loud.

“Sandy, don’t!”

My warning was too late. Nandoon na sya, nakaupo sa toilet bowl habang naghihikab pa. Bigla syang nagising dahil sa sigaw ko. Iminulat nyang mabuti ang mga mata nya at tila inaaninag ako. Nang biglang nanlaki ang mga mata nya.

At noon ko lang naalala.

I WAS TAKING A SHOWER.

Oh snap! Why did my adrenaline take too long to come into my senses? Agad agad kong sinara yung shower curtain. Namaaan!
