Family Over Love

Chapter 28

Those smiles were so familiar to me...

Those smiles..... it hurts me a lot. Parang ilang beses sinasaksak ang puso ko. I just went inside my condo trying to hide my tears. I don't know why I'm even crying. My tears were continuously falling, It just won't stop.

I took a warm shower to relax myself. I tried to stop crying because my eyes and my head were starting to hurt. I called Pochola inside the bathroom while I'm in the bathtub to play with her so I would forget what happened earlier.

There's a lot going through my mind. I have so many questions that I don't know who to ask. I have a lot of answers that I don't know the questions. I don't know! I just.... can't explain the feeling. It feels so heavy.

I cooked some chicken, and slice the tomatoes. I also sliced some carrots for my salad. I didn't ate any rice for my dinner because later, I'll have my chips to relax.

After I ate my salad, I put all the utensils and plates inside the dishwasher I'm not in the mood to do some chores today. I called Aphrodite to come so I have someone to talk to.

"Oh bakit anong problema?" She asked when she got inside.

"I don't even know." I sadly said.

"Huh? May nangyari ba?"

I sat on the couch and turn off the lights and only the lights na nakapalibot sa couch ang naka-on. I select sad movies to watch so I can cry the sadness I'm feeling inside me.

I didn't even bother talking, there are no words coming out from my mouth. "Bakit ang sakit sakit? Pero hindi ko alam yung dahilan." I told her while crying.

"I don't know, sometimes you wanna know the truth pero lalo ka lang pala masasaktan doon sa katotohanan... kaya pagsisisihan mo at sana hindi mo na lang pala inalam."

My tears won't stop. I can't even explain what's happening. I didn't tell Aphrodite about what happened earlier because this is my own problem. She has nothing to do with it.

I get three bottles of beer from my fridge. I got drunk. I don't really want having beer but it's just it's so hard. Ang hirap hirap, hindi mo alam kung matatakot ka, malulungkot ka o ano.

I got drunk. When I woke up, my head hurts so much. I drank the glass of water beside me. When I went out of my room, I saw Aphrodite sleeping on the couch beside Pochola. I felt bad for her, pati siya nadadamay. I didn't wake her up, I want her to rest dahil sa pang-aabala ko kagabi.

I cooked some bacon and eggs. I also blended a mango shake. I picked up all the bottles on the coffee table. I picked up the chips I opened last night and put it inside the pantry.

I prepare the food at the dining table. I woke Aphrodite up. "Aphrodite, gising na. Nagluto na ako, habang mainit  pa."

We ate breakfast, after that I give Pochola a dog food. Since I still have a photoshoot later I needed to prepare already. Hinatid ko na si Aphrodite sa may lobby. When she left, I went back to my unit.

I had a warm shower to relax myself from last night. I did my skincare and put on a little bit of make up. I wore a dark blue leggings and a white croptop. I fixed my hair in a ponytail and wore a white rubber shoes.

I'm still bothered about yesterday but I need to focus myself today on my photoshoot. My doorbell rang so I opened my door and Veronica went inside my condo. "Ma'am tara na po." Aya ni Veronica.

"Yeah, let's go." I said before we leave my condo unit with Pochola.

Tumunog yung phone ko, when I checked my phone....
