Love Stories Over A Cup Of Coffee

A: Having Fun, Aren't We?

Have you even woken up in the morning, feelinh fresh and light? As if all the problems you had the other day decided to just leave you alone? As if all the emotional baggage that have been bringing you down are finally gone? As if there is nothinh left but the desire to help others and spread the love? Yup, that has been how I feel waking up today. In fact, I woke up very early for a Friday, of course. I've been used to wakimg up so early, as early as 4 in the morning. That's why I used to have early morning heart to heart talk with the kids. I still do wake up early from Mondays to Thursdays, but the work I have in school has been draining me so much that I have been oversleeping every Friday for the past months. I had Mew worried because of this sleeping pattern because most of the time, when I oversleep, it means I'm depressed or stressed. He has been constantly asking me if I'm okay. I am okay, but not okay okay. There were things that bothered me and made me question a lot of things in my life.

Of course, the biggest issue I faced was that of August. It was really emotionally and psychologically draining. I have to deal with what I felt and what I feel and at the same time trying to figure out how he felt and how he is feeling. It was hard balancing my relationship with my family and my relationship with August. Things went messy when I was at that point that I didn't want to do what he wants because I was in denial and haven't accepted the fact that he won't return. On top of it all, I was still hoping for the old August to comeback because, yes, I had feelings for him.

But things have changed in just one night, by a single letter. But I'm glad it didn't end in such a chaotic and dramatic matter. And Secretary Na was spot on when he said that I finally get to hear what I've always wanted to heard, and the apology.

"And what made you wake up at 6 in the morning?" Mew asked me as soon as I sat on my official spot at the dinning table.

Everyone in here, and by everyone it means including the boyfriends of the people living in this house. Tawan is even present, which is weird because he loves spending his mornings inside his kitchen.

"Because of this." I handed him the letter that August wrote. Mew read it and made all the possible expressions that he could think of, which made everyone curious.

"What's that?" Tawan, who is sitting at the other end of the table, asked.

Fluke and Earth looked every eager to hear about the letter. Ohm and Gulf are smiling, maybe because of how Fluke and Earth reacted. As for Kao, he's just chill as always, not showing that much expression.

"It's from August." He said as he folds the letter and gave it back to me.

"And?" Tawan asked, a bit irritated, I must say.

Mew looked at me to ask consent to tell the others about the letter. I nodded.

"Well, August said that he liked her and that he apologised because he is already in love with another person." Mew said casually.

Tawan looked a bit irritated. Fluke and Earth looked sad. Gulf and Ohm looked concerned. And Kao, well he looked sleepy.

We had a good breakfast. Fluke cooked some eggs and bacon. Gulf brought some fruits. Ohm and Tawan brought some bread. It was peaceful. We shared some stories and life updates. It was so fun. It feels so good. I think I was smiling the whole because it's been a while since I felt this way.

Afted breakfast, we did some chores. Earth and Fluke washed the dishes and cleaned the dining are and kitchen. Ohm helped them, actually. The rest went on to clean the livinh area, the garden and the pool. After cleaning, we ordered some snacks and gathered at the living area.

"Guys, Chairman invited me to a late lunch and early dinner today. Would you like to join us?" All eyes on me.

"Nope. You should go alone and enjoy your family time with them." Mew said, everyone seconded.
