Ninth Rhythm

Hug

MORNING CAME and I'm feeling better than before. It feels good that I don't have to worry about my mother's nags because she's not here anymore. Matagal pa naman ang balik niya kaya mas ayos din para sa akin.

I looked at my reflection on the vanity mirror in front of me. I noticed that my hair is getting longer and it looks boring. Should I tie my hair today?

Naghanap ako ng pantali ng buhok sa drawer ko na nandito. Nakahanap ako ng simpleng itim na pantali kaya tinali ko na ang aking buhok. It's just a simple ponytail and I made sure that what I did is neat and perfect to me.

Pagkatapos kong magtali ay kasabay no'n ang pagkatok na narinig ko sa pinto ng aking kwarto. Mabilis akong tumayo para tignan kung sino 'yon.

I blinked for a couple of times when I saw Arrow in front of my door. He's just wearing a casual outfit today, black and white striped shirt paired with black jeans. Sinamahan lang din niya ito ng isang topsider shoes.

"Ano 'yon?" tanong ko, medyo kabado pa.

"Can you come with me?" he asked.

"Hmm, saan?"

Why is he asking me to come with him? Where's his girlfriend? Baka awayin lang ako no'n kapag nalaman na ako ang kasama nitong boyfriend niya. I remember that she's not really a good person so there's really a possibility for her to hurt me physically.

That's scary.

"We're throwing a party for the triplets," panimula niya. "Successful kasi ang launching ng bagong book ni Sniper. The three of them worked hard for that one so we would like to surprise them."

I nodded my head slowly. "Okay, wala naman akong ginagawa."

"Perfect. Wear something comfortable, I'll wait for you outside." tinalikuran niya na ako para makalakad papaalis.

Mabilis akong kumilos para maghanap ng susuotin. What should I wear for today? Does it really matter if I'm going to wear something casual or fashionable? Bahala na! Basta 'yong komportable ako, ayos na 'yon!

Wala naman akong dahilan para paghandaan si Arrow.

Kumuha na lang ako ng isang white hoodie at nagsuot lang ako ng black jeans para mas komportable. I grabbed my white shoes to complete my outfit for today.

I put my wallet and phone at the pocket of my hoodie as I went outside of my room. Saktong pagkalabas ko ay nakita ko si Sniper na nakaupo sa sofa na nasa mini lobby area.

He's wearing a black hoodie paired with black pants. Bagsak ang buhok niya at bahagyang natatakpan din ang kaniyang mga mata. Dumako ang tingin ko sa kaniyang paa, pinigilan ko kaagad ang sarili ko sa pagtawa.

Why the heck is he wearing some pink slippers? Is that his favorite color?

"What?!" inis niyang tanong.

I rolled my eyes irritatingly.

Things will get really messy and complicated if I give him some attention. Tumapat na lang ako sa elevator at pinindot iyon para hintaying bumukas. Nagulat ako nang tumabi sa akin si Sniper sa mismong tapat din ng elevator.

I want to say something rude because he's also rude but I decided to keep my mouth shut. Nakakainis! Makita ko lang siya ay kumukulo na ang dugo ko.

Pagkabukas ng elevator ay mabilis na akong pumasok. Halos mataranta ako nang hatakin ni Sniper ang buhok ko, akala ko ay maiipit pa ang ulo ko dahil sa ginawa niya.
