Phoebe's POV'S

"Phoebe, halika nga dito"

I gave a heavy sighed bago ko nilagay ang alarm clock ko sa backpack ko at sinara ito. Binuksan ko ang bedroom door ko at nakita ko na naka upo si tito sa lamesa kumakain ng pang umagahan habang nanonood ng television.

"Ano po iyon?" Tanong ko, closing the door behind me.

Pinunta nya ang attention nya sa akin, turning his head to look at me, he smiled forcefully standing on his feet and motioning me over to sit. "Halika dito... halika at umupo ka."

I slowly walked over and took a seat sa harap nya. He took a sip of his water, wiping his mouth with his shirt as he asked, "Nagkita na ba kayo ng insan mo?"

I looked down sa table, wringing my hands together. "Opo, nung isang araw po"

He bent closer, his eyes wide in anticipation. "Oh ano, naka pag usap ba kayo?"

"Opo, pero kailangan nya din umalis kaagad."

Just the thought of my cousin was enough to get me to shiver all over my body. I was glad that he didn't stay the night. I didn't want to deal with him.

"Eh... anong pinag usapan nyo?" he asked, "Eh, iyang kasing insan mo, umalis na lang ng hindi nag papa-alam sa kanyang ama."

"Nag ka mustahan lang po kami"

"May napili na bang kayong petsa?"

"Hindi pa po namin napag usapan." bulong ko "Pag uusapan daw po namin pag balik nya."

"Ah, ganun ba? Talagang busy yang anak ko pero wag kang mag alala," he tapped his finger sa lamesa. "Kung idi-describe mo yang si Anton, one word for him- a man of his words."

I couldn't agree more.

"Ahh.. malapit na yung anniversary death ng mga magulang mo," he started eating his food bago sya nag salita ulit with his mouth full. "Anong plano mo? Alis ka ulit?"

"Ahh... opo, this weekend."

"Kailan balik mo?"

"Aalis po ako ng Friday after school, balik ko po Sunday night"

Tumango sya bago luminigon sa TV at tumawa sa show na pinapanood nya.

Once alam ko na tapos na ang pag uusap namin, I got up and went back to my room to get ready for school.

I went and open my cabinet and put on my school uniform, getting my backpack, I was about to leave my room nang makita ko ang reflection ko sa salamin. I stopped on my tracks and looked at my face.

I looked... dull. No makeup whatsoever. My hair is up in a ponytail, yung damit ko ay medyo baggy tignan at ang skirt ko ang lampas hanggang tuhod. I had always wear clothes like this, hindi sya unusual since Anton always threatened me not to wear any suggestive clothes outside of our house.

I never dreamed of going against him. Never.

I sighed before looking away and left my bedroom.

"Alis na po ako" paalam ko as I walked over sa pintuan and put my black shoes on.

"Hmm, sige" sabi nya, not bothering to take his eyes off sa TV.

I sighed before opening the door and closing it behind me. Hopefully, school wouldn't be that bad today.

After an hour of transportation and five minutes walk, nakarating na ako sa school.

Gosh, how I hate traffic.
