Aftertaste

Six

I want you to know something, but I don't know how to say it...

Killian instantly flashed to my mind as I tweeted what I felt that time. Our late night ice cream escapade, his late night confession, late night talks and jokes we shared, it all came back.

I lazily sat in front of my parents in the dining at 10 o'clock in the morning. I forgot to kiss them on their cheeks so they both went to me to give me hugs and kisses.

"You should be ready by 6, Elysia. Nakakahiya kung mahuhuli tayo ng dating!" Paalala ni mommy sa kalagitnaan ng pagkain namin ng agahan.

"Yes, Mom." I answered as an obidient daughter I am.

"Nakapag enroll ka na?" Dad asked.

"Yeah." Maikli kkng sagot at mabilis na tinapos ang pagkain. "Sorry Mom, Dad. I'm still so sleepy pa po." Paghingi ko nang paumanhin at agad naman nila sinabing magpahinga ako. They also told me to avoid staying up all night because it's bad for my health.

I feel so bad dahil minsan ko na nga lang sila makasama ay hindi ko pa sinusulit.

Mu phone beeped as soon as I entered my room. Umupo ako sa kama habang chine-check kung ano iyon.

Killian started following you

Nanlaki ang mata ko at agad pinindot ang profile nya. Tumulis ang nguso ko nang makitang tatlo lang ang posts na laman ng account nya. Ang una ay isaang snowman na may weird na shape na mukha at mula pa noong 2017! Ang sumunod ay picture ng sunset sa beach na last year naman nya ni-post. And his latest post was about a week ago. It's me... looking up in the starry sky. Kung di ako nagkakamali ay ito yung time na inaya ko sya mag ice cream dahil hindi ako makatulog.

You're kinda, sorta, basically, pretty much, always on my mind.

Was what the captions says. Kinagat ko aang labi ko upang pigilan ang pag ngiti. I should give him a chance or my heart a chance, rather.

Nang sumapit ang alas kwatro ng hapon ay naligo na ako para maagang makapag ayos. Pagkatapos ko maligo ay nakita ko ang dress na susuotin ko sa ibabaw ng kama ko at agad iyong pinsadahan ng tingin.

I gave myself a compliment as I look at myself in mirror after I finished getting ready. I put my her in a braided updo hairstyle and left some thin strands on the side of my face and loose curled it which made my shoulder and collarbones more defined. I did a natural make up on my face, just to make my features more define.

I sprayed my favorite perfume in the air and made did a twirl. I put on my favorite 4-inch beige stilleto and grab my black YSL clutch before going downstairs.

"My baby girl is now a real lady." Mom gave me a motherly smile. She touched my cheek and mouthed 'I love you'.

"I love you too, mom." I smiled. Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang suot nyang itim na jumpsuit at itim din na stilleto.

"Ah! My two girls." Dad said when he saw us at the living room. He kissed my forehead and gave my mom a quick peck on the lips. I smiled as I saw them looking at each other so lovely.

Sana lang ay hindi nila ito ginagawa sa tuwing makikita ko lang...

"By the way..." Napatingin silang dalawa sakin nang magsalita ako. "May pupuntahan po ako mamaya after ng party."
