"Let's go back to the time where it all started. With a quill and ink, I will write our own story"

|:|River's POV|:|

Knowing how noisy pagkagising ko sa family house ko ay agad kong itinatak sa utak ko na dapat magkaroon ako ng lugar kung saan mamatatawag ko na sa akin, sa isang lugar na ako lang mag isa, walang sigawan sa umaga at higit sa lahat ay hindi ako inaabala.

Agad akong bumangon sa kinahihigaan ko dahil naririnig ko nanaman ang boses ng nanay ko. I look on the alarm clock sa bedside table ko and it indicates that the time is four in the morning. Shuta, ang aga pa pero ang ingay na nila.

I immediately go out of my bedroom and go downstairs. I need to know what's this commotion is all about. Alam naman nila na hindi dapat maudlot biglaan ang tulog ko dahil nakakasama sa mindset ko.

I immediately go at the kitchen and see kung bakit nag pupuputak ang aking nanay.

My dad's holding a pan with severely burnt egg on it. Jusko, ang galing niya mag luto para lang makasunog ng itlog.

"At bakit naman nasunog yan aber?! Sobrang sayang ng pinang bili diyan! Hindi na natin makakain yan!" ani niya.

My dad look at my mom with his sorry eyes "Sorry mahal, nakatulog ako habang nagluluto" pag rarason ni papa.

The heck? Just why the fuck he'd cook kahit na inaantok siya.

The anger on my mom lessen the moment he heard my father's reason "Bakit naman kasi nagluluto ka ng ganitong oras? Hindi naman maaga ang pasok mo" she worriedly asked.

My dad looked at him with a small smile "Nalimutan mo na ba?" pagtanong niya sa kanyang asawa.

And there, I knew why he wants to cook early. Clicheness earn an eye roll from me but it did not prevent the lopsided smile on my face.

My mom is still confused as to what is happening so before my dad speak up, I did para malaman nila na nagising nila ako "Today's your wedding anniversary ma, nalimutan mo na?" pagsagot ko na ikinagulat naman ni mama in the process.

She glares at me "Abat! Hindi ka man lang nagsasalita na nariyan ka!" pagrereklamo niya.

I smile mischievously "I did, kaso ikinagulat mo" sabi ko saka pumunta sa water dispenser para kumuha ng tubig "I go down kase gusto ko lang ipaalam na nagising mo ako sa mga sigaw mo ma" I informed her before I chug the glass of water. I wipe my mouth dry before I look at her "at gusto ko lang sabihin na babalik ako sa pagtulog at baka magising ako after four hours, mga bandang 8AM" sabi ko saka umakyat na pabalik sa kwarto ko.

Opening my door, I look onto the clock and see that an hour almost passed, which is odd.

I lay my body on the bed and close my eyes and let myself drift into dark nothingness.

I open my eyes and saw the white walls covering the vicinity. I knew it, it was my body reminiscing the past.

I sit myself on my sofa-bed that my family provided for me. I look at the clock on the wall and saw that it's already 7AM, an hour before my self in dream stated that I will woke up.

I already achieved my dream after five years, and that memory are also from five years ago. Nagkaroon na ako ng sarili kong lugar na matatawag ko na akin. My family supported me on my decision na bumukod agad the moment I am at the legal age. My family still supported me financially though because they think na hindi stable ang trabaho ko.

Opening the fridge, I took out a carton of milk and an egg. Now that I am holding an egg, I remember my silly dream again that made me chuckle.

Closing the fridge, pumunta ako sa stove and put a pan on low heat. I crack open the egg and let it get cooked. While waiting, I sip on my milk while reading stuffs on my phone.

I took out the egg out of the pan and took a day-old slice bread before sitting myself on a high stool.

A knock erupted on my door. The way people knocking on my door, I think it is urgent.

"Sandali lang" I shouted before I chew faster the food inside my mouth. Drinking my milk, I stand up and go near the door.

I felt nervous the moment I hold the door knob. Kakaiba yung feeling, mukhang masama ang mangyayari ah.

"River! Nariyan ka ba?!" pagsigaw ni Tren, best friend ko ever since childhood.

I release the breath I am holding, si Tren lang pala.

I immediately open the door and see two different boys standing on the doorway.

A one with a smile on his face and a one who looks like he escaped somewhere.

"River! Di ba mag isa ka lang nakatira dito? pwede bang dito muna tumira si Trice? Don't worry mabait yan" he immediately said before leaving the boy all alone.

"Tren! Bumalik ka rito" Me and the boy shouted at the same time.

I look at him as he look at me. Oh boy, my ultimate dream to live all alone is now ruined.
