I woke up.

But the feeling of something's missing is still there. Hindi ko alam. Anong oras na ako natulog dahil kakaisip kagabi at ngayon ay nagising naman ako ng maaga. Parang hindi ako nakatulog pero hindi na ako naghahangad pa ng oras para matulog ulit. It looks like it was enough but when you go deep within it, it's not. There is something missing.

And it's frustrating kasi hindi ko alam kung ano! Tapos ganito na, paulit-ulit siyang papasok sa isip ko but I can still act jolly on the outside, that is sucks. No one can feel what I really feel. Hindi nila ako nararamdaman kasi hindi ko rin alam kung paano iparamdam. Naguguluhan ako. Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng mali sa akin.

Ah! Whatever!

The day must go on! I don't want to ruin the lovely Sunday!

I was preoccupied. I didn't even know how I did all these things. Bigla na lang akong bumalik sa sarili ko nakaayos na ako at nakatingin na sa salamin.

What the hell is happening to me?

I brushed my short hair and I was looking miserably at my reflection. Why am I suddenly being dramatic? I don't want to address what's happening to me and what is the root of this because I knew from the very start what really it is.

I am confused.

But I can't name it.

I don't want to.

I did my make up and because I am being dramatic, it didn't end up well. I did my eyeliner as a winehouse and it looks great with me because I turned into a baddie. I matched it with a brownish lipstick and I curled my lashes dramatically.

I'm wearing a black bodysuit lingerie and I paired it with a gray short fitted skirt. I put an extra gray blazer in my bag, in case na malamigan ako dahil sa aking kaartehan. And the very last! I wore my platform pump gray heels! I looked expensive.

I looked pretty.

I am now a pretty lady.

My thoughts flew because of a loud knock. I stood up and opened the door. It revealed Santy, my maid. She looked shock as she scanned my whole body and face. She blinked a hundred of times.

"Ang ganda niyo, Senyorita!" Puri niya sa akin kaya naman napangiti ako.

"Who sent you here?" I asked.

"Ay! Ayon nga po pala! Nar'yan na po 'yung boyfriend niyo-" I cut her off.

"Anong oras siya dumating?"

May ugali pa naman si Alcaeus na sobrang aga pumunta sa bahay.

"Uh! Kanina pa po! Kanina pa nga po sila naguusap ni Senyora Rochelle at ni Senyor Muroncio!" Masayang dugtong niya pa at kumunot ang noo ko.

Did I hear her right?

"Come again?" The confusion didn't leave my tone.

"Ang Mommy't Daddy niyo po?" My eyes narrowed. "Kanina pa po sila naguusap. Ang mga Kuya mo nga rin po ay kumakain na sa baba. Bakit po? Masaya naman po silang naguusap sa baba."

Ano raw? Sila Mommy nandito na? At bakit ngayon nila piniling umuwi? Ano'ng nangyayari? Pagagalitan ako! At nandito pa si Alcaeus! Pagagalitan ako sa harap niya! Daddy will get mad at my clothes! Bakit ngayon pa sila umuwi?

"They flew here?! Kailan pa? Bakit hindi mo sinabi?"

Her brows furrowed.

"Hala, Senyorita? Tinulungan po kita mag akyat kagabi, 'di ba? Sinabi ko po na nakauwi na ang parents mo at maagang nagpahinga? Tumango ka pa nga po! Hindi mo po ba maalala?" She looked concerned.
