LOVING A NIGHTMARE

CHAPTER 2

Chapter Two

"Carol, get up. Time for breakfast! " Grr. Eris! Istorbo 'tong hinayupak.

Dahil isa ako sa mga malas na tao, na hindi na ulit nakakabalik sa pag tulog pag naistorbo na. I found my self under the cold shower.

After taking a bath, sinuot ko ang isang flowy skyblue dress at stilletos, dahil sabi ni Grandma dapat kahit daw minsan mag mukhang naman daw akong babae . What am I lesbian? Tss. Wala akong balak no! I'm still planning my wedding with Zayn.

And speaking of wedding, hindi na ulit napag usapan ang SAKAL --este kasal namin ni Eris. Isang linggo na siyang nag s-stay sa bahay. Grandma said kahapon, na mukhang bukas na ang alis ni Eris dito sa bahay--mansion, dahil tapos na, ang bahay--mansion nila. Kapitbahay lang din pala namin ang kumag.

"Good morning, Grandma, Eris, Yaya Easter. " Woah. May pinakbet at Coca Cola, hmm. Buti naman tinugon na ni Grandma ang hinaing ko. I can't wait and I'm not wrong it taste so damn good!

"Ang sarap po, Yaya. " nakangiti kong usal

"Buti naman at nagustuhan mo. "

"Hija. " pag kuha ni Grandma sa atensyon ko, " I just want to discuss your wedding with Eris. " actually, noong pinakilala ni Grandma si Eris as my fiancé. Wala naman akong naging problema. Like I don't really care. Pero this past few days. I realize that marriage is a holy covenant. Marriage is not a joke, it means commitment. Ako ang magpapakasal, kaya nasa akin ang desisyon kung sino ang papakasalan ko.

Eris is a good man. He is responsible, witty, and respectful. He is really the type of person na gusto ko. Noong una nga, nag kacrush pa nga ako sa kanya. But hanggang doon lang talaga iyon. Besides, I'm just sixteen for goodness' sake! O baka naman may iba ka pang dahilan?

"Hmm. Grandma. "Kuha ko sa atensiyon niya " I don't think, I'm ready... " I said honestly

"But... both parties already done discussing it, Hija. " she said hardly

Pero hindi ako mag papatinag.

"I am sorry Grandma, Eris... " I look at him apologeticly " You had been so good to me. But all I can offer you is friendship. " I told him sincerely

"But... " Si Grandma na mukhang aalma pa

"It's alright Madame, " asan na ang Grandma? "No problem, Carol. I understand... " he said and smiled genuinely

That made me at ease.

The no class days went normal. It's only me, whom I think abnormal. This past few nights, I found myself urging to dream. Nababaliw na ata ako. Malakas ang hinala ko na hindi lang iyon basta panaginip. Pinanghahawakan ko ang maliit na gupit sa aking buhok sa may bandang leeg ko. Gaya na lamang ng nasa aking panaginip. Hindi ko man ma amin sa sarili ko pero siguro... Err. Oo na! Miss ko na nga ang king of Gods na hinayupak na mahanging 'yun.

As I lay on my purple bed... hugging a panda stuff toy... holding my stitch covered phone. I got entertained with the articles in internet discussing lucid dream. Coz I think it is what I just encountered. The article says that a lucid dream is a dream during which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming. During a lucid dream, the dreamer may gain some amount of control over the dream characters, narrative, and environment; however, this is not actually necessary for a dream to be described as lucid.

But I think it's not... Coz I don't have control or I can't manipulate my dream.

Due to boringness, I fell asleep.

"Hey, Miss grotesque. Wake up. " ani ng baritonong boses ni Zeus. Wait boses ni?

I immediately get up at... siya nga!
