I immediately slammed myself on my comfy bed as I arrived in my dorm. Nakakapagod lang ang mga nangyari ngayong araw na 'to.

I reached for my phone. Kakailanganin ko ng energy for tomorrow. I dialled my mom's number and waited for her to answer.

"Mommy." nakasimangot kong saad nang sagutin niya ang tawag.

"Kayo na ba ni Zeke, anak?" biro niya.

Mahina akong tumawa. "Ma naman! I just want to talk to you."

"Bakit anak? May problema ba?" I could feel her sudden change of mood. Kilala niya talaga ako and I'm missing her so much.

.

Maaga akong nagising. Today's the first game of our team sa UAAP and I don't know why am I feeling nervous.

I internally screamed when my phone suddenly rang. Si Zeke lang pala. Mapakla akong napangiti saka sinagot ang kanyang tawag.

"Zeke!"

I heard him chuckle. "Hey, good morning! Manonood ka mamaya, right?"

Tumango ako. "Of course, good luck Zeke."

"Thanks."

And the call ended that way.

Hindi ko alam pero pagkatapos naming mag-usap ay naramdaman ko na lamang ang mga luhang nanggagaling sa aking mga mata. Why am I feeling this way?

I took a deep breath and wiped my tears off. Kailangan kong harapin ito hangga't hindi pa huli. Kailangan ko itong gawin.

I should do this even if it hurts so much.

something's off, right? ... or tayo lang ang nagbibigay meaning sa mga bagay na hindi naman pala kailangang bigyan ng meaning?
