She tries to breath, willing her eyes to open on another day yet to unfold.
Same life. Same struggle. Same pain.
How long is it going to be like this. Even she is growing tired of it all.
Same routine. She walked towards her crappy bathroom with crappy walls and crappy floors. Oh God! She whines like a nagging wife. Only difference is, no one's there to listen. How pathetic could her life be?
3 freakin' years ago...
Walking through the metal gates of an old house with a FOR RENT sign, she noticed an unweeded front yard. Never mind. It's a small house, old, unkept and cheap. That was what it took her attention. Cheap.
Sa liit ng kinikita niyang sahod bilang isang musikera, kailangan niyang makahanap ng murang matitirhan. Umakyat siya sa front porch ng bahay. Kakatok na sana siya sa pintuan ng bumakas ito. Naiwang nakataas ang kanyang kamay habang nakaawang ang bibig sa taong lumabas. No. Scratch that. Isang bigoteng tinubuan ng mukha.
What the..
"Hi". Bati ng bigote.. ay este ng taong kaharap niya.
"Hello". She replied.
"Are you here for the house too?" he asked.
"Oo sana eh" alinlangang sagot niya. Hindi pa rin niya magets bakit ang daming bigote nito. Sakop na halos lahat ng mukha. Those eyes though...
"I see, me too. Hinihintay ko nalang yung may-ari. Papunta na raw siya." That snapped me out of my trance. Oh no... mukhang may nakauna na sa kanya sa bahay na natitipuhan niya.
"Uhm.. kakakita ko lang sa sign. Nagbakasakali lang ako na may tao dito. Sige magseset nalang ako ng ibang date para tingnan tong bahay." Mabilis niyang paliwanang. Nagsimula na siyang lumakad paalis.
"No. Wait!" pigil nito sa kanya. Napatigil siya at humarap dito.
"Sumabay kana lang sakin. I mean, para tingnan yung bahay. Sira yung front door kaya nakapasok ako. Gusto mo bang silipin sa loob?" alok nito.
Napatitig lamang siya rito. HIndi niya ito kilala. Magtitiwala ba siya rito?
