In The Name Of Gloves

CHAPTER 11

Sinalubong si Jacee ng nakangiting si Haruka ng makapasok siya sa bakuran ng bahay.

She tried her hardest to sleep last night and she did. She wake up early to have her routine every morning. Jogging then workouts. Good thing Trav wasn't awake that time so she was free to move without her feeling awkward.

Pumasok na si Jacee sa kuwarto niya  at sinimulan ang routines niya. Push-up, sit-up, jumping jacks and shadow boxing.

"98...99...100!"

She stand up to start shadow boxing when Haruka enter her room.

"Jacee-chan! Asa gohan wa de kite imasu." breakfast is ready.

Jacee nodded at her friend and tell her she will finished her workout first then follow her downstairs.

Tinapos niya ang workout na ginagawa pagkatapos ay nagpahinga si Jacee saglit at saka naligo.

Nagtaka si Jacee ng bumaba siya at nakitang wala si Trav sa inipuan nito ng nagdaang gabi. Hindi ba ito tinawag ni Haruka?

"Kung hinahanap mo si Trav maaga siyang umalis" bulong sa kaniya ni Haruka.

She blew a loud breath before contue eating. It's her fault. If she's not reckless to say those words things won't turn like this. she will not hurt him. Did he ate breakfast before he go out? If not he must be hungry by now.

Trav can find ramen shop everywhere or find foods that will suit his taste preference so she should not worry that much. After Jacee finished eating she go upstairs to change her clothing. Since spring season Jacee wear grey sweat parka and jeans a very comfortable clothing for her. She tied her hair into a messy bun and put some powder on her face and that's it she's ready.

Napalingon si Jacee nang bumukas ang pinto ng kuwarto niya at iniluwa noon ang kaibigan. Malungkot ang mukha nito at halatang problemado kaya naman nilapitan niya ito para kausapin.

"Jacee-chan! I have an urgent appointment and I can't accompany you today I'm really sorry Jacee-chan... " she cried.

Ngumiti si Jacee kay Haruka para ipakitang ayos lang ang lahat. "It's fine, I can handle myself. Go ahead do your things I'm fine."

"Pero nangako ako at hindi ko yun natupad"

"Pwede ka naman bumawi, matagal-tagal pa ako rito sa inyo" Sabi niya na pinapagaan ang loob nito. Alam niyang guilty ito sa dahil hindi siya masasamahan nito. 

She can ask her google friend for some information around chichibu, it is also the best time for her to have her 'me time' , to think about her life and mistakes.

Malungkot pa rin itong tumingin sa kaniya."Hindi ka galit?"

"Nope."

Ngumiti si Haruka nagpasalamat ito sa pag intindi niya rito bago ito nagpaalam. Nang makalabas ang kaibigan sa kuwarto ni Jacee ay agad na inayos niya ang mga dadalhin at inilagay sa isang itim na backpack.

When Jacee go down, Haruka already left maybe to attend her appointment. Ang naiwan lang sa bahay ay si Tita Rhoana dahil ang Tito Hotaru niya ay nasa trabaho na at nasa labas naman si Haruto na kuya ni Haruka

"Tita aalis po muna ako para maglibot dito" paalam niya sa ginang na ngayon ay nagpupunas ng mga muwebles nila.

"Mag-iingat ka, umuwi ka bago maghapunan at ipagluluto ko kayo" nakangiting paalala nito sa kaniya. Tumango siya rito saka bahagyang yumuko si Jacee rito bilang paggalang bago lumabas ng bahay.

Isinabit ni Jacee ang lace ng Camera niya sa leeg saka nagsimula ng maglakad-lakad.

Jacee feels ecstatic as she observe the spectacular sorroundings of her. Cherry blossom petals are scattered everywhere, on the street, on the roof of the houses, on the lakes. It was romantic and magical for couples.
