I speed walked my way to class and immediately sat down because I only had one minute to spare. I got so scared because there was some light traffic on my way here. I'm relieved that I made it on time.
As turned my head to look at my seatmate, nakita ko si Seph na naka-tungo at mukhang natutulog pa. Malapit nang dumating ang professor namin kaya sinubukan ko na siyang gisingin.
"Hoy, Seraphina Eira! Baka naman gusto mong bumangon diyan? Lagot ka na naman kay Sir niyan, ilang beses ka nang nahuhuling natutulog," I said while shaking her shoulder. Dumilat naman siya agad at niyakap ako. I chuckled at that. "Baliw 'to, may tulo laway ka pa oh."
"Ulol ka anong tulo laway? Wala naman e, hinayupak ka talaga." I received a glare from her while she was wiping her face.
Tinawanan ko nalang siya at inayos ko na ang mga gamit ko. We had an activity today as a whole class about the contest that every department was entering. Sabi ng professor namin ay hindi naman daw required mag-join pero kung gusto namin ay pwede. We had a discussion after class and as usual, I was the one to lead them.
After the discussion was lunch break. Ang pinakahihintay ni Seph. Hinila niya ko agad para samahan siyang bumili ng kakainin niya. May baon na ako pero sumama pa rin ako kasi wala naman akong magagawa. I just bought some extra snack since nandoon na rin naman ako. While we were walking to the gazebo where we chose to eat, a girl approached me and handed some sort of chocolate and a small letter wrapped with a pink scented paper. I just thanked her and she left after that.
"Grabe talaga, hindi pa rin ako sanay na may babaeng nagkaka-crush sayo. Ang awkward kasi ako lagi ang kasama mo kapag nilalapitan ka. Masyado mo kasing ginalingan last year e. Ayan tuloy sikat ka na."
"Stop making fun of me!" She made a face after I said that.
She's probably talking about the sports-fest event we had last year. Sabihin nalang nating ginalingan ko nga siguro masyado. Kaya ganito ang naging resulta.
After the classes, Seph wanted to hang out with me at my apartment. May dinner sila ng family niya kaya hindi pwede. I just forced her to go since it's important. Ayaw talaga niya nung una pero wala din siyang nagawa kundi ang mag-pout. I went straight home after that, gusto ko nalang munang magpahinga.
There are still times that whenever I would walk inside the apartment, I would see us cuddling in the couch or maybe having a meal in the kitchen. Bakit ko ba kasi inuwi 'yong bwisit na 'yon. Isang malaking pagkakamali. Ka-bobo.
Nahampas ko nalang ang sarili kong noo habang nakaupo sa couch. Kahit ano pang gawin kong pangta-trashtalk kay Nick, I still can't deny the fact that I'm still not over it. I haven't moved on yet. I just kept on having flashbacks these last few days. Sometimes our "happy" memories but most of the time it's just that scene before our break up. Meron ding time na gumagawa lang ako ng random chores pero bigla ko nalang gustong umiyak. Whether it's cleaning the apartment, cooking, or even just showering, I'll randomly feel this pain in my chest and I'd just want to cry. Remembering all this made me want to cry again.
I was startled by the sudden notification sound on my phone. It was Daniel.
dan_amds:
ma, ank m po i2. nakktxt lng aq kelngan q po ng load. 300 lng send mo asap.
What the heck is this?
mirelladee:
stupid. i can see that it's you lol.
dan_amds:
why'd you have to call me stupid? anyways, madalas ka ba don sa cafe nila tito breech? ngayon lang ako pumunta don e. maybe we can bump into each other more.
mirelladee:
i do go there often, pero hindi everyday. are you really blood related to kuya breech? or you just like calling him tito?
dan_amds:
ah oo, kapatid siya ng mom ko shareholder din ang mom ko pero sa ibang branch na.
mirelladee:
really? that's so cool.
I never thought that Détendre had other brances. Dan and I talked like that for a few hours until he told me that he had to go finish his school works. Because of that I felt guilty, dinaldal ko siya ng dinaldal tapos madami pa pala siyang gagawin. But, Dan assured me that it was okay since he was almost done anyway. Still, I couldn't help but feel a little bit guilty.
After that talk, tumingin na rin ako ng ibang messages ko. May message rin ako galing kay Seph saying "wish u were here". Akala mo naman hindi na kami nagkikita araw araw. I just laughed at her to annoy her, I can just see her pouting face.
After all that I decided to eat pero wala na pala akong stock ng grocery. I decided to head to the supermarket wearing shorts and a big hoodie.
I was casually walking with my cart and picking what canned goods I would get from the shelf, when I heard loud and heavy footsteps. Lumingon ako sa paligid ko pero wala pa akong nakikitang tao, galit na galit siguro, malayo palang rinig ko na yung paghakbang.
After a few moments I saw a man walking fast towards me.
"Kai sandali lang! Hintayin mo naman ako!"
After that I heard a loud thud and saw a girl on the floor, she was holding her knee and wincing in pain. The man stopped near me before cursing and turning around to help the girl. Kinuha ko nalang ang kailangan ko at umalis na don. Ayoko namang isipin nilang chismosa ako sa business nila. After I got everything I needed that would last me for a month, I stood at the cashier and just waited for my turn.
When I got to the apartment, I shoved what I bought on my shelves and in the refrigerator. I ate some light meal because it was quite late and I just got ready for bed after that.
Habang sinusuot ko yung pajamas ko, narinig kong tumunog ang phone ko. I thought it was Dan again so I immediately checked on my phone. I was shocked when I opened and read the message of that person.
Hey, babe! I'm going home and I'll be staying at your place! Be ready, love ya!
