Until Then

Kabanata 7

Vestine.

I slowly opened my eyes. I woke up because of the loud voices coming from outside. Ano bang nangyayari?

"Akin 'yan eh, kelan ka ba nag igib ha?"

"Ayaw mo 'non? Di ka na mag iigib, ako nalang."

"Problema mo ba ha?"

"Ang ingay nyo naman."

I pulled myself up and sat at the bed. Kinusot kusot ko pa ang mata ko bago inayos ang suot. Elaine let me borrowed some of her clothes. It wasn't branded but it was okay. It was comfortable, anyway. 'Yun lang ang importante.

Napatingin ako sa wall clock na nasa loob ng kwarto.

5:34 AM

What?

Ang aga naman ata nila?

Inilibot ko ang paningin sa buong kwarto. I still couldn't get over of the paintings. They are all beautiful, really. I know a lot of artists who are fond of paintings and i'm pretty sure they would like these. These are all masterpiece.

"Nakakapanibago lang kasi." I heard a voice again.

I smiled. It feels great to wake up on your own. Minsan kasi ay ginigising ako ng personal assistant ko. It never felt comfortable, though. I'm happy waking up knowing that i'll get to see them again.

Inayos ko muna ang suot ko bago dahan dahang lumabas. I couldn't wash my face because there's no CR inside the room. Iisa lang ang CR nila at nasa kusina ito. It's not a big deal to me. Though, I was used on going out to my room totally ready.

"Ano ba 'yan! Ikaw na nga, sige! Lagyan mo lahat ha!" I heard Gab's childish voice.

Napailing nalang ako. Baka nasa labas silang lahat. Wala kasing tao dito sa loob. Maybe they're in the lobby.

Naglakad ako papunta sa lababo ng kusina bago naghilamos. It took me 10 minutes to finish.

I was still closing my eyes when I finished. Realization hit me. Wala nga pala akong towel! At basang basa pa ang mukha ko!

"Argh, tanga." I whispered to myself, my eyes are still closed.

I tried to wipe it using my bare hands but it wasn't enough. May tubig pa din sa mukha ko and it was hard to open my eyes because of it.

Gagamitin ko na sana ang suot kong damit nang biglang makaramdam ako ng towel sa mukha ko. It hit my face hard.

Kinuha ko ito at ipinunas sa mukha ko. I frowned the moment I opened my eyes.

"Sino-"

I wasn't able to finish my sentence when I saw Ry smiling cockily in front of me.

"Morning!" He said cheerfully.

Napairap ako. It was so obvious that he was teasing me. Nakita nya ata ako na naghihirap kanina.

"Morning my ass." I whispered.

His eyes went down, "Ohh."

My eyes widened after realizing what I am wearing. Bastos!

Agad kong tinakpan ang kabuuan ko gamit ang dalawang braso. I was wearing shorts and a white sando. My bra was quite visible.

"Shut up! Bastos!" I shouted.

Humalakhak sya, "Hala? Wala akong sinasabi?"

Agad ko syang sinapak sa balikat nya. Gosh! I think i'm blushing. This is my first time someone saw me like this. Oo, sa mga guesting as an artist or sa mga photoshoot ay malaking bahagi ng katawan ang nakikita but it was fine kasi maliban sa team ay walang ibang nakakakita ng malapitan.
