Naalimpungatan ako nang tumunog ng sobrang lakas ang alarm ko kasabay ng tunog ng isang baso at kutsara. Damn it, bakit may baso at kutsara akong naririnig?!
Nakabusangot, at gulong-gulo ang buhok, unti-unti kong binuka ang aking mata para makita anong nangyayari. I saw a tall, dog-looking animal in my room wearing a black v-neck shirt and maong shorts. He's carrying a wine glass and a metal spoon. Bumalik ako sa paghiga nang nakita siya. I also turned my alarm off.
"Fuck off, Emilio," I said in an annoyed tone. Not really fully awake.
"Watch your mouth, missy" He replied... pinupukpok parin ang baso at kutsara.
Hindi ko na siya pinansin. For a while, I was relieved dahil wala na akong naririnig na ingay, but I felt a cold hands sa aking paa. He dragged me so I could get out of my bed. I wriggle my legs just so he would stop.
"Emilio, stop... Ahh!" I shrieked when I can still feel his hands on me.
"Bangon na," He said as he stopped. I know nakapamewang na 'yan ngayon.
"Ba't mo ako pinipilit?"
"I asked you nicely a while ago, but you won't wake up,"
"Eh obviously, tulog ako!" I shouted, I swear I could cry right now.
"No, you are not. Sinasagot mo pa nga ako. Sinabihan mo akong aso," he complained.
I laughed while I'm on my bed, nakahiga pa rin. Did I really say that? Buti nga sa kaniya. I'm so proud of myself. I heard him laugh sarcastically too.
"Bangon na, may gagawin tayo ngayon." Aalis na sana siya ngunit hindi ko mapigilang magtanong.
"You? And Me? Why do I have to tag along?" I said in disbelief. Napabangon na rin ako, but still sitting on the bed- looking at him. Hindi ko alam kung may muta ako o laway pero pake ba niya. Sabi nga niya di niya ako type kaya bakit pa ako magpapaganda?
He also stared at me, giving me a you-should-know-why look.
"Ang aga-aga pa, Emilio. Have some life! Stop disturbing my beauty sleep!" I wriggled my legs.
"For your information, Miss... It's already nine in the morning. It may be early for you, pero maagang nagsisimula ang araw sa isla. Hindi mag-aadjust sa atin ang mga opisina just because you think it's too early, okay?" He explained intently to me, raising his left hand na may relo. He paused for a while.
"Now go and take your bath. We're going in thirty minutes," aniya bago tuluyang tumalikod at umalis.
"Oh, by the way... Nice pajamas." Uminit ang pisngi at tenga ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Anong masama sa sinabi niya, eh wala naman pero bakit gusto ko siyang kurutin at inisin? He's just complementing my pajamas with ribbon prints. At isa pa, thirty minutes?! That's too short!
