Mira's POV

I woke up to the sunlight shining upon my face. Kaagad akong bumaling sa magkabilang gilid ng kama but I was alone in the room.

I tried to remember last night's events. Pag-katapos naming mag punta sa kaibigan ni Ken, we went straight home. I saw Xander on the counter table, and he was crying because he thought I already left. Then, he went here and laid beside me. Did Xander really confessed last night?

Hindi naman ako lasing o kahit inaantok para maging ilusyon ang mga narinig ko kagabi. Everything was really clear to me.

"Mahal kita..."

Napa-hawak ako sa dibdib ko. My heart was beating erratically and I don't know what it means.

Dahan dahan akong bumangon at sumandal sa headrest ng kama. Ang lakas pa rin ng kabog ng puso ko.

Tinapik-tapik ko ang dibdib ko, "Kumalma ka. Kumalma ka."

Naka-ilang beses akong huminga nang malalim para pakalmahin ang puso ko, pati na rin ang sarili ko.

"Mahal kita..."

"Tama na..." napa-takip ako sa tenga ko.

"Mahal kita..."

"Mira ochitsukeyo!!!" Get yourself together, Mira!!!

I exhaled. Ginulo ko ang buhok ko dahil pakiramdam ko, mababaliw na 'ko.

Dahan dahan akong pumunta sa banyo para mag-toothbrush. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked wasted, because my hair was all over the place. The scene last night kept playing again and again inside my head like a broken player. The worst part? Why do Xander look so handsome?! Damn me to hell!

I sighed as I picked up the toothbrush at started brushing. Bigla ko na namang naalala yung nangyari kagabi. Seriously, why am I acting like a teenager who first experience having someone confessed their feelings?!

Puno pa ng bula yung bibig ko pero tinuro ko yung sarili kong reflection gamit yung toothbrush, "Bente dos ka na, Mira. Tumigil ka! Si Xander lang 'yon."

Bumalik ako sa pag-to toothbrush. I sighed as I processed the meaning of what I just said to myself. Yun na nga e. Sana nga, si Xander lang 'yon. Pero hindi e. Argh!

I finished my other rituals before looking at myself on the mirror. I kept on checking and checking and again, checking myself, making everything in place, even just a strand. Fck! Kelan pa 'ko na conscious sa magiging itsura ko para lang harapin si Xander?!

Pumunta ako sa pinto and I was just about to open the door but put my hand back. Ahhh!!

I inhaled and exhaled multiple times. I can clearly feel that my hands are sweating! I closed my eyes and sighed. Gawin mo na Mira, makikita at makikita mo rin naman siya!

Mabilis kong binuksan ang pinto, ignoring how hysterically my heart beats. I looked around only to find myself into an empty unit. Lumapit ako sa may kainan at malinis ang lahat, kung paano namin 'yon iniwan kagabi.

Napa-tingin ako sa kwarto ni Xander. Is he asleep?

Kaagad akong huminga ulit nang malalim para pakalmahin ang sarili ko. I went straight to the kitchen to cook breakfast for the two of us. Panaka-naka rin akong tumitingin sa kwarto niya dahil baka bigla siyang lumabas.
