MACKENNATHERE'S NOT A SINGLE DAY that Scout hasn't come and visited me. Totoo nga 'yung sinabi niya na marami siyang naka-planong date para sa'kin. Every morning, I wake up to Freya's voice yelling "Scout's here!" I no longer bother setting my alarm clock at night because Scout serves as my alarm clock every morning. Hindi ko alam kung papaano niya nagagawang gumising ng gan'on kaaga. Dahil palagi siyang 7 a.m. kung dumating dito sa apartment ko.
Siya na palagi 'yung gumigising sa'kin kada umaga. Actually, nasanay na rin 'yung katawan ko na maaga gumising. Kagaya ngayon, 6:50 a.m. palang pero automatic nang nagmulat 'yung mata ko. Mabuti nalang nawala na 'yung pagsusuka ko sa umaga simula nang inumin ko 'yung vitamins ko regularly.
I didn't get out of bed and instead stared at the ceiling of my bedroom. Wala na rin sa tabi ko si Freya – na isa pang maaga kung gumising.
Naghintay pa ako ng ilang minuto at narinig ko nang sumigaw si Freya.
"Scout's here!"
Hindi ko alam kung maganda lang ba talaga 'yung tulog ko, pero bumangon ako sa kama nang nakangiti.
I did my usual routine. I changed clothes. I went to the bathroom to brush my hair and my teeth. Then proceed to the kitchen, where Scout and Freya are eating the breakfast Scout has bought for us.
Isang linggo nandito si Freya kaya hinayaan ako ni Ryder na magbakasyon ng isang linggo para samahan si Freya. Sabi niya sapat na rin naman 'yung vacation pay na naipon ko simula nang magtrabaho ako sa The Hudson kaya bayad pa rin ako kahit na naka-bakasyon ako, alam din kasi niyang tatanggi ako kapag binayaran niya ako ng hindi naman ako nagtatrabaho.
Ryder is without a doubt one of the nicest people I've ever met, and I don't want to take advantage of his kindness.
Although ever since Scout showed up at my apartment door, I've been spending more time with him than Freya. I feel guilty, but Freya was actually the one who has been pushing me to be with Scout.
"Good morning," I greeted them. Sabay silang tumingin sa'kin.
"Good morning, babe," Freya said.
"Good morning, boss," sabi naman ni Scout. I playfully rolled my eyes at him, which made him and Freya chuckle.
"Sana all boss," Freya commented.
Yes, Freya learned that phrase from Scout. And yes, Scout has been teaching Freya some Filipino words. At siyempre tuwang-tuwa si Freya dahil makakapagsalita na siya kahit papaano ng konting Tagalog.
"Stop it, you two." I crossed my arms against my chest.
"What? Isn't that true? She is your boss, am I right? You even locked it with a holding hand." Freya shifted her gaze to Scout. Agad naman sumang-ayon 'tong si Scout.
