Chapter5: [Xes's POV]

"Gising na"

Naramdaman ko na ang marahas na pag-alog ni Fibby sa balikat ko na naging sanhi ng lalo ko pang pagkahilo. Nako naman! -,-

"Ano ba?" padabog kong sabi sakanya.

"Kasi 6pm na hinahanap ka na ni tita, actually kakatawag niya lang ulet"

Wala na akong nagawa at bumangon nalang. Hey, masakit parin talaga ang katawan ko. Naiiyak na naman ako.

"Hey mom?"

"Honey, where have you been?"

"Mom, syempre kina fibbs"

"Is that true? I sense something that I need to know?"

"W-wala naman p-po!"

Ngumiti na lang akong muli kay mommy at umakyat na ng hagdan at tinahak ang aking kwarto. Napasandal nalang ako sa likod ng pintuan ko.

"Ang lakas talaga maka-vibes ni mommy"

Malalaman niya siguro tong nangyari sakin after a couple of days. I feel ashamed to my actions, I never thought na magkakaganito ako at mangyayari sakin ang ganun. Ehh pinag-aral naman ako ni mommy at daddy ng maayos! BAKET?

"Young lady, pinadala po ni Ma'am itong gatas, inumin niyo daw po" saad ni yaya sa labas ng pinto ko.

I fix myself para bukas ang pintuan ng kwarto ko. Alam talaga ni mommy kung paano mapapagaan ang loob ko kahit hindi ko sabihin sa kanya. Binuksan ko ang pintuan ng kwarto ko at kinuha ko naman kay yaya ang gatas at ininom ko iyon sa harapan niya mismo at binalik ang baso. Pagkaalis ni yaya, pumasok na agad ako sa kwarto ko at humiga na sa kama ko. Kulang na kulang ako sa tulog, madaling araw na ata kami natapos kahapon, I mean kanina-- ayy wait! Bakit ko pa ba iniisip?

"Goodnight Xes" I said to myself.

Pabaling-baling lang ako sa kama ko at di pa rin makatulog. Ano ba naman to!? I need to sleep but my mind is against it. Diba dapat mas pinipilit ng utak ko na patulugin na ako coz' my body is tired? Diba? So I decided to check on my social accounts.

~poof~

Msg from: Fibby

-Girl, ano? Does tita interrogated you?

I replied a "no" then I went offline. I don't want to talk to anybody right now! Magulo pa ang utak ko! Iisipin ko pa nga lang na baka malaman ni mommy sumasakit na ulet utak ko eh! I need to explain to her pagnalaman niya yon, and of course lagot ako specially si Fibby!

I log off. Wala na akong magagawa dito! Masyado naman akong tamad to check the hundred of notifications here in my account.

~tok~tok~

"Who's there?"

"It's me! Dear, can I come inside?"

"Wait po!"

I got down from my bed and walk towards the door. I opened it for mom. Ano kayang kailangan ni mommy!

"Bakit po?"

"Hey baby! Can we sit first?"

I nodded kaya naglakad na si mommy papunta ng kama ko at umupo doon. I just stared at her waiting for her to spill the bean. I know naman kasi why mom went here in my room this late at night. Its past 8:30pm na din naman.

"Xes, I just want to tell that James just arrive yesterday."

"W-what mom? W-why?"

"They're staying here for good. Nakapag-enroll na din pala siya sa school mo! He's in the section B. You need to talk to him"

"Mom, please! I don't want to"

"But you have to"

"M-mom, p-please! Can we, I mean can you back out?"

"Goodnight sweetie!"

Then mom, went out my room. I climb up in my bed and pull my comforter to cover my body. The man I love is here again. How much pain will he bring me again? 5 years since I last saw him. And the last day I'm with him is that he's pushing me away from him! Then what now? This is so frustrating.

"P-PB"

That was the last word I said. Then I drifted to sleep with tears in my eyes.
