Who Is Meant? AlyDen? BangLy?

UD 8.

Aly's

6 AM. Den and I's room.

"Aly...aly...?", I heard someone calling me. I reluctantly opened my eyes, antok na antok pa 'ko e, sino ba to?

I see Den smiling at me and softly rubbing my cheeks, she's already dressed up casually.

"Hmm?", I raised an eyebrow, indicating for her to tell what she needs.

"6 AM na Ly, 'di ba magsisimba ka? Paalis na rin kasi ako...", Ahh, hindi nga pala niya alam na hindi muna ako dito sa loob ng campus magsisimba. Every sunday kasi sabay kami gumising, ako papuntang church, sya pauwi sa kanila.

I closed my eyes again, I can't keep my eyes open, I am really still sleepy. But I kept talking to her, "Sa labas muna ako magsisimba, Den. Mamaya pang 11 AM."

"Ha? Ganun ba?"...she was silent kaya minulat ko ulit yun isang mata ko para makita ko siya, nakatingin pa rin sakin, saka nagsalita, "Pwedeng hindi muna ko umuwi, samahan kita kung gusto mo?"

I hold her hand that still caressing my face, "Ano ka ba, family day kaya ngayon, bihira yan. Kung ako pwede lang umuwi every Sunday sa Negros, ginawa ko na.", I smiled, baka kasi she feels responsible na naman sakin. Grabe, ang sarap maging best friend nito, napaka caring.

"Ngayon lang naman e, tsaka mag isa ka lang...", I hold her hand tighter. I was about to tell her na okay lang, but I remembered na kasama ko nga pala si Bang. Kailangan ko pa kaya sabihin 'yun?

"Okay lang, Den...spend time with your family. Baka namimiss ka nila. Ako 6 times a week mo naman nakakasama e.", I didn't mention about Bang, I don't know why.

"Hmm...okay. Ingat ka ha.", she kissed my cheek. Mas nagiging sweet talaga ngayon si Den, not that I am complaining. Siguro mas nagiging stronger lang 'yun friendship namin at mas nagiging at ease lalo kami sa isa't isa. I smiled at her gesture and she stood up before saying, "Text text mo 'ko ha."

She get out of the room and I already heard her footsteps fading.

I closed my eyes again and drifted back to sleep.

It was like 5 minutes pa lang akong nakapikit, narinig ko naman 'yun phone ko na nag riring, maybe it's mom checking in on me. I grabbed my phone that's on my bedside table and answered it without opening my eyes,

"Nay? Maayong aga...nahidlaw na gid ako sa imo...", sinabi ko na naglalambing. Nakarinig naman ako ng sobrang lakas na tawa sa kabilang linya, nilayo ko 'yun phone sa tenga ko.

"Hoy! Aba, gising na! Nananaginip ka pa ata e!", that sounds familiar. I opened my eyes to see that it was Bang on the line.

"Aw, ikaw lang pala e."

"Ako lang pala? Ouch.", I didn't reply, how would I even reply to that?

"Hoy! tulog ka na naman ano?!", sigaw niya na naman nung hindi ako sumagot.

"Hindi."

"Ano sa inyo ang bangon?"

"Bugtaw", tapos sumigaw siya nang pagka lakas lakas, "Buuuuuuuuuuuuugggggtttaaaaw naaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

"What the -, oo na! Aish.", Bumangon na 'ko and saw the clock, 7 AM. Ang aga pa naman a, 11 pa yun mass sa Eastwood.

"7 pa lang pala e! 11 pa kaya 'yun mass.", panenermon ko sa kanya.

"Aren't you going to eat breakfast?",

"See, haven't thought of that, noh?", pagmamataray niya nung hindi ako sumasagot.
