Longing Hill - April Second

"Shit." agad akong napatayo at tumakbo papuntang banyo para sumuka. I was coughing hard that it was mixed with my tears. Tumayo ako at naghilamos. Habang papalapit ang paglabas ng kambal ay mas lalo akong nahihirapan sa bawat araw na dumadaan. Kung noon ay hindi sila masyadong pasayaw, ngayon yata sila bumabawi. I would wake up in the middle of the night to throw up but I wouldn't be able to sleep again so I ends up having only 3-4 hours of sleep then I have to come at work at 8 in the morning. My work at the academy ends around 4 in the afternoon. Tapos pinapahirapan na ako ng kambal sa paglalakad because my baby bump is so damn big now na kapag nakakakita ako ng salamin ay naluluha nalang ako.

Dang, I look so ugly.

But then I had to endure it for my babies. Mas napapadalas na rin ang tawag nina Kai at Diva para mangumusta. Sina Earlene at Wyatt naman, busy sa kanilang bagong negosyo.

Napabuga nalang ako ng hangin at pumunta sa balcony. I sat down the rattan chair and gazed at the city lights of London.

"Oh shoot!" I cussed sa sobrang gulat ko ng lumabas ng balcony si Miss Carol na may dala dalang tasa.

"You scared me!" reklamo ko habang hawak pa rin ang dibdib. Naka-all black pa naman ito tapos dim lang ang ilaw sa kwarto kaya akala ko talaga may multo. Hindi ito kumibo at inilapag ang dalang tasa sa rattan table sa tabi.

"Did you throw up again?" tanong nito. I nodded and reached for the teacup. Hmm. Agad kong naamoy ang hot cocoa na laman nito.

"Yeah, the twins are at it again. Where's Papa?" tanong ko at tsaka ininom ang hot cocoa.

"On his room. Sleeping. Should I fetch him?" I shook my head.

"No need. You can go back to sleep, Miss Carol. Thanks for the cocoa." saad ako at nginitian ito. Tumango ito at tumalikod na.

"If you need help, you call using the intercom. Press 1 if you need your Papa and press 2 if it's me. I'll leave now, just leave the cup there. I'll get that in the morning. Don't stay out for too long, you might catch a cold." malamig na saad nito at tuluyan ng lumabas ng kwarto.

I shook my head and heed Miss Carol's words. I stood up and went inside the room. Umaayos na rin naman ang pakiramdam ko kaya sinubukan kong matulog. I still have a long day a head.

Ayan ang ruta ko sa bawat araw na dumaan. Habang palapit ng palapit ang paglabas ng kambal ay mas lalo akong nahihirapan. Papa left for Queensborough para iobserve ang bagong negosyong binuksan nito matapos magresign sa trabaho three months ago. We also talked about how I want to open a foundation after I give birth to the twins. I want to fund gifted musicians who couldn't affords studying music because of poverty. I want to be that person who will help them achieve what they want. Play the music they wanted to.
