The senses were gradually reaching the surface, waking me up from a deep sleep. My head has never felt so heavy before, and my throat is longing for a sip of water. I stir my head sideways to find my phone buzzing against the bedside table. It's already 7:30 in the morning, giving me an hour left to get my stuff done before the class starts.
One thing that I'm weirdly feeling right now . . .
It feels like I came back from the dead.
What on earth happened last night? Ba't parang kakaiba ang naramdaman ko ngayon?
Bumangon ako at kaagad nagtungo sa bathroom. Suot-suot ko pa ang nightgown na regalo ni mommy. Mukha akong binugbog dahil sa buhaghag kong buhok at mangitim-ngitim na eyebags. My mind can't seem to figure out what I did last night that made me end up looking like this in the morning.
Ano ba talaga ang nangyare kagabi? Bakit tila isang libong taon akong tulog? Hindi ko matandaan kung anong ginawa ko kahapon. Isa pa tong kakaibang nararamdaman ko ngayon.
Unang pumasok sa aking isipan sina mommy at daddy.
Oh right, where are they?!
Nagkakarandapa akong bumaba sa hagdan at dumiretso sa kusina. My heart is yearning to see them as I was about to enter the kitchen.
Then there they are, dad is peacefully sipping his morning coffee and mom is preparing our breakfast.
"Oh, good morning dear." Pareho silang nagulat nang makita ako.
Lagpas hanggang langit ang kasiyahan ko nang makita silang dalawa. B-bakit para akong naiiyak? Why does it feels like we've been separated for many years?
Nagkatitigan muna kami saglit bago ako lumandag ng yakap sa kanilang dalawa. Pareho silang gulat sa ginawa ko, batid kong naguguluhan sila sa kinikilos ko.
"Sweetie, t-tila maganda ang gising mo?" I can imagine my mom's confused face as I tighten my embrace.
"Hindi ka ba galit sa'min? Sa ginawa ko kagabi?" tanong ni dad.
Unti-unti kong naalala ang nangyare sa party ni Josh kahapon. Ngunit lahat ng ngayon ay tila isang masamang panaginip na lamang. As if nothing matters to me more than this moment.
"I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm sorry sa lahat ng pagkukulang namin ng mommy mo. Tama ka nga, we were to focused on our business that we didn't seem to notice you are slowly being drifted away from us. Mas kailangan mo pa ang atensyon namin keysa sa negosyo. Sana mapatawad mo kami. " It was dad who apologize.
"Why are you guys apologizing?" I chuckle a little bit. "Ako ang dapat humingi ng pasensya. I've been a pain in the ass for the past years. I deserve to be awarded as the brattiest brat in the entire history of brats. Hindi ko alam anong sumanib sa akin at nag udyok na magbago. Nanaginip kasi ako kagabi mom, dad. A really bad dream."
