I woke up with the sun kissing my skin. "Good morning sunshine!" I groan and cover my eyes while I shift on my position facing the voice i heard earlier. I opened my eyes and smiled "good morning handsome" I greet him in a hoarse voice, he laughed lightly. He lowered his face onto me and I closed my eyes. 1...2...3...
"Riiiing! Riiiing! Riiiing!"
"Ahhhh! What the-!" I groan, clam my hands on my forehead and sigh. "Rance..."
The loud thing rang again "aiish! So annoying!" This phone is ringing at the same time every morning for 3 years now, sometimes I would answer it and sometimes like what I've been doing for a month now, I would just stare at the phone and wait till it would stop ringing. I have a hint that i should answer her today, I thought and answer the call whose other line was Quoin, my best friend.
"What!?" I hissed as I walking to the kitchen table to grab some water.
"OH MY GHAD kedd! You surprise me for picking up today! " she exclaims!
"So should I just hang up!?" I said in a very much board tone "you always woke me up, you idiot!"
"Sorry not sorry. HA-HA" I cringle with her laugh. I swear! I can practically imagine her hopping and giggling "so why'd you call?" Hopefully a good answer this time! "I'm getting married!" I rolled my eyes.
"Sure, sure and I have moved on "then I laugh humorously "I hate you for not believing!" She screamed exaggeratedly that I have to give distance with the phone and my ear. "You're kidding right!"
"I Kid you not!"
"Like Really? Who's the unlucky guy Ha-ha?" I bang my fist at the table I.want.her.for.my.friend.only!
""ang sama mo... so is Veer parin HA-HA" she burst into laughter again! Parang nawalan ng tinik yung puso ko. salamat naman at mukang nataohan na ang mga loko at nagbalikan.
"Okay!? Wow Congrats! Maiba nga, Kelan naging kayo ulit? ""I asked her
"Hmmm 2 years after tssk. Tadhan nga naman, pinag banga ba naman kami sa mall one day. Then yun, the rest is history" she shared
"As much as I wanted to quoin, i can't, plus I'm too far and busy tapos wala pakong ipun. tss" I told her honestly.
"You're away? No money or you just don't want to, but seriously keddceel, come home, stop hiding okay!?" I frown
"I have something these days so i can't afford the ticket for now. And really quoinceiah? With that talk again? I thought were done with that?" she sighs
"Actually, we will never be, and that this time I am commanding you! It's a once in a lifetime event kedd, I want you to be there for me and veer, your our Cupid remember!?" I shut my eyes tightly and take the same sigh but only heavier.
"Fine, Fine, when?" she screams in excitement "2 weeks from now!" tssk! "Ok then 2weeks it is s--- 2 FREAKING WEEKS!? " My eyes bulge at the statement
"Yep! Ha-ha bye see yah! By the way you don't have to worry about the ticket, I already send it via email, just look into it see you in a few weeks! HA-HA bye!" she hanged up without letting me speak.
"Great! The girl really knows how to bait me. Now, what hell hole did I put myself into?" I mutter gulping the last drop of water I pour into my mouth. "Should I go or not?" And gawk at the ceiling till twilight comes.
Waking up the next day (a week after the call) was surprisingly different, because today, I woke up early but with a thump and a brain wreaking headache while on the floor and Not with a ringtone. "What happen?" I ask myself yawning and rubbing my eyes. I guess I fell. Getting up while holding my head and then settle it by the bed and sigh.
The alarm rang loudly by the table. Groaning, ugh! I hate ringtones! I get up and turn it off. A soft thud was produce by the hand movement. Settling on the floor, I look around my room and venture what I have put there for the past few years that I've been here. The room was quite big but a study table, bed and a cabinet was only the furniture there. I sigh, "What was I doing tss!" I was just sitting before A folded piece of paper took my attention, I move closer to look into it. It was a poem, or better yet it's another bloody poem for Him. And I wrote it for him, in my own language. I sigh again.
Baka sakali
Umalis ako ng ikay lumisan
Nagpakalayu-layu upang malimutan
Lahat ng alaala na iyung iniwan
Na naging masasakit na memorya nalamang
Akoy nadurog at umiiyak na lang ng tago
dahil akoy naging hapong-hapo
napagod na sa kakaunawa sa aking puso
Na wala ng ginawa kundi mabiak ng husto
Akoy nag babakasakali na sana
Dumating ang araw na maging ok na
Na hindi kana iiyakan at hindi na mangulilia't magdurusa pa.
Na baka sakali, sa susunod na
Tayuy magkita at magkasalamuha
Wala ng tao o bagay ang hahadlang
At tayuy para sa isat-isa lang.
"Ang drama ko" I muttered then gasp when a lone tear escape my eye. It still hurts deep inside, but it wasn't that painful like before, I sigh again for the ninth time today. I can manage. I will, I whispered then sadly smiled to myself before putting the paper down and headed to the bath room.
I arrive at my editors' place exactly 8:00pm I was By the way a writer and I am based in Cali. And was actually planning to stay here for good but sadly my witch best friend wanted me back. Good thing my editor gives me a long break after my last book, this must be a bloody coincidence or fate perhaps? Well it's no turning back because tomorrow is the day I'm flying back home...
