07 | morning blues

sunday.

the busy place where we usually go before, during times whether it may be good or bad, for meetings and such stuffs. we're back at it again.

the same store that stood tall untill now and that was the witness of our youth. the place didn't even changed a bit.

our neighborhood surely did. there's more people than before and its getting developed.

some moves away and someone moves in.

when you left, i felt so alone even if i did try hard to distract myself from the thought of you.

i was still adjusting to the new environment im in, you know.

we all do grow up, live our separate lives but then what matters the most is your family. no matter how busy of a person we are, we must not lose chance of spending time with our loved once at least.

i don't want to sound like a clingy person but once im attached to someone, it makes it hard not to think about them.

it's not like you haven't shared everything with them so i guess its not only me who feels that way. wait, is it only me? i do have sentiments for those important people in my life.

sigh, let's just get into the buisness.

i carried the basket that's full of clothes piled up, waiting to be cleaned and put them on the table. the machine starts up. the rest follows the procedures carefully. i mean, who doesn't? be orderly. LOL

gladly it didn't took me forever to finish because there were lots of them in stock.

i'm not a tardy person though. i was away from home for a month with greater purpose. no, actually its my responsibility—i should take good care of him after all of what happened.

i don't really have the exact words to say.

the street is so busy and the skies were in great shade. the weather is just perfectly fine today.

i just couldn't help but stare at the sky. it looks so peaceful, and calm and it's far from what the world is like now.

"why arent you eating?" he asks, the worry in his voice hints me that i have to eat now or else—i'll become a baby who'll be spoon feed by my babysitter.

a moment later, he sat up and positioned his hand near the spoon. but before he was able to take it, i got a whole spoonful in my mouth that made his mouth gaped.

then he covers them with his hands and gasps, "how can you read me so well?" he speaks as his eyes sparkles in wonder.

"we're friends since we're little, there's not a single thing that i don't know about you." i said as i continue on eating.

"but sadly, i can't remember anyting about you." he then replies and pouts.

"it's so frustrating," he added.

"no, don't be. i know you will regain them someday." i said to him with a reassuring smile.

"it'll be back in no time." i added and we both continued eating.

he halted and took few glances and spoke once again,"let's bet! whoever finishes eating first will get to pick anything they want and the loser will get it for them."

i was on the verge of finishing my bowl when he said that so i don't have any choice but to make my face stay near the bowl. i let out dagger glares at him but he doesn't bother at all.

"call! I'll be the one to count." i responded immediately, not letting a second get wasted, i started counting to three and then devoured all the food both in my plate and bowl, look how im trying so hard to win this game but then he still won.
