I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK (1)

Worried sick.

VIVERLEE ALTHEA

"Sa'n nanaman tayo, Jie?" Tanong ni Andy, halatang halata na gusto nang kumain.

A week after the celebration, me and Sol went back to our regular college-student-lives. Morning shift ako sa school, siya naman afternoon to evening. 

"Dito muna tayo." Yjie uttered sabay sa pag tulak sa amin papasok sa isang bag-shop. Mahilig kasi ito sa mga bags, and shoes. Typical spoiled expensive-girl kasi ito si Yjie since she's the only child.

"Auuughhh." 
"Euuughhkk." Both me and Andy groaned in a silly way.

"By the way," Yjie spoke, habang tumitingin sa bags.
"We saw Daniel's post sa instagram ba."

"Oo, tapos?" Tanong ko habang ako rin, tumitingin rin ng bags.

Yjie giggled softly, "How'd you spend your anniversary pala? Ba't parang. . ." Halos hindi na niya matapos anong sasabihin, she kept giggling dahil sa kilig. 

"Ba't parang anooo?" Andy asked while nudging me softly.

"Cut it out!" I softly hissed, "Ano ba kasi merooon? Wala ko nakita ang post ni Sol, ano meron?"

"Check it!" Yjie shoved her phone up to my face. 

"Nag love making sila, bhie!" Andy whispered and wheezed so hard.

My eyes widened as I saw the pic, as if para talaga kaming nag-- 

"Nakakatakot naman ng lightings ng bahay niyo parang ano HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yjie laughed nang binawi niya ang phone.

"Ooooy, mag ni-ninang ako ha?" Ika ni Andy habang tumatawa.

"Sabihan mo nga 'yan si Sol, sa sunod, iinform ka muna kung anong ipost!" Yjie recommended while still laughing and wheezing over a picture.

Ang laman kasi ng pic is ang silhouettes namin ni Sol, tapos the lights made it look like we were doing-- Kaya pala Sol questioned me about the lights during our anniversary!

"Tignan mo pa, bhie!" Yjie pointed at her phone,
""Baby making na ba yan, dol?  Tanong ng isang classmate yata ni Niel."

"Ako ang magiging best ninang ha? Wrong! Ako ang maging best ninang! Ninang Brandrea Ashleyyy~ Aaayy! Bet!" 

I rolled my eyes and laughed it off, "Mga bwiset talaga kayo! Bibili ka ba ng bag, Jie o iiwan ka nalang namin dito? Gutom na ako."

Yjie instantly picked out a bag, "O na nga! O na nga! Eto na, eto na." And placed it on the counter para bayaran.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, we headed straight back home para makapag pahinga rin kami. Meron rin kasing ibang projects and research ipapasa bukas. I lent out an excited sigh, knowing that when I get back home, me and Sol will finally see each other. Pang ilang beses ko na kaya 'tong tinawag ko ang name ni Sol? Sol Sol Sol Sol! I can't think of anyone else but him. Just by hearing his voice from a far, I could already feel comfort.

I tried dialing his phone number, pero it took over a couple of rings before Sol answered it,
"Yes, Hon?"

"Hiii, anong oras ka uuwi?" I asked while skip-walking. Whenever I talk to him, I feel like a kid. Can someone give me a paper and a crayon?

"Not sure. Bakit?" Why does it feel like he's so cold. . Baka busy siya. 

"Wala lang, miss lang kita."

He laughed softly, "I miss you too. Ano gusto mo pag uwi ko?"

"Ikaw." I laughed.
"Sige na, baka busy ka pa! Usap nalang tayo mamaya. Mwa! Byeeee~" 

"Byeeee, mag ingat kaaa." 

As soon as I reached sa room namin, I quickly searched for Omorfia and Arketa.
"Arketaaaaa? Omorfiaaaaa?"

They swiftly dashed papunta sa akin, "I MISSED YOUUUUU!" Who wouldn't?? Tinignan ko ang orasan and it was already 6 in the evening, "Tara kain muna tayo."

My eyebrows furrowed as I saw the slidding door open. "Ba't hindi ito sinara ni Daddy niyo?" I questioned as I slide and locked it.
"Nagmamadali ba daddy niyo kanina? Hmmm?" Tanong ko habang lumalakad papunta sa kusina para kunin ang kanilang pagkain.

I don't have to worry if kumain na ba ito sila o wala, Sol would always feed them before siya aalis. Pero ba't hindi man lang niya naisipan idouble check ang mga doors and windows if naka sara na ba sila o ano?

I rolled my eyes and tried to forget it, "Oh well, hindi lang naman ako ang busy sa aming dalawa hindi ba?" I questioned myself as I poured food sa plato ng mga babies namin. I can't blame him, pati nga rin ako nalilimutan ko.

AUUUGHH!! Bini-big deal ko nanaman ang isang bagay! Ano ba meron? 

Hours later, I looked at the clock, "Eight." I uttered. Tulog na sila Fia at Ark, wala pa rin si Sol. I tried calling him, pero walang sumasagot.

I turned the TV on as I sat on the sofa. 
"Nasan ka na ba kasi?"

SFX: Thunder storm*

"Umuulan na. . Uwi ka na, Sol." I pouted while staring outside the window. 
"Be safe. I hate worrying."
