Mama


Mommy:

Saan ka na, Nak? Bilisan mo umalis ng isla, baka maabutan ka pa ng bagyo. Kinakabahn ako. Dapat talaga sinama na kita sa business trip ko.


Masha:

Pasakay na po ng ferry. Will text u po if nasa bahay na ako ng friends ko. 

U have nothing to worry about po. 

Super happy po ako, thank you sa pagpayag. You're the best!


Mommy:

Ok. Don't forget to pray for a safe travel. 


Masha:

Finish na po. Love you!

Mommy:

Good girl. Love you.


"Good girl . . . " I could only sigh and stare at the little stars pasted all over my bedroom ceiling. The light from outside had completely invaded my room, making them lose their glow.

"Sorry, Ma." Pumikit na lamang ako at nagtalukbong ng kumot.

Good girl. I tried to be a good girl all my life, but for once, I want to follow my heart. After what happened to Pia, I realized how short life truly is. I mean,I grew up hearing 'life is short,' pero iba pala kapag naramdaman mo na ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng bawat salita. 

Mama will be away on a business trip for a week. Siguro naman sapat na ang isang linggo para mapagbigyan ko ang puso ko. Pagkatapos nito, magiging mabuti ulit akong anak. Pagkatapos nito, ibabaon ko ulit ang dapat.

I opened my closet and was bombarded with an absurd amount of clothes. From the folded to the hanged, all of them were organized according to colors and styles. Pia once called me a psychopath for having my clothes in order, but hey, it's just the way I like it.

I packed all of the cutest clothes that I could find into my backpack. However, for the day, I chose to put on an outfit that no one would think I'd ever wear—a black turtleneck sweatshirt paired topped with a silk pink camisole, and a bright pink skinny jeans. I even made sure to tie my hair up and put on the worn out purple cap that thrifted. It's eons away from my taste, so I know no one will ever recognize me with it.
