TAMING VIOLET
WALLET

MAAGA akong nagising dahil sa ingay ng alarm clock, napatingin naman ako dito, its already 5:15 am.

Hinalikan ko muna ang kapatid ko bago bumangon and do my morning routine.

I wear ripped blue jeans and white V-neck t-shirt na manipis, I look at in the mirror, hinayaan ko nalang ang mahaba kong buhok na nakabuhayhay, masyado kasing expose ang leeg ko kapag tinali, thats will make me uncomfortable, hindi ako sanay.

Nagsaing ako at nagluto ng ulam

"Good morning ate!" tumingin ako sa kapatid kong kalalabas lang sa kwarto, I hug her and kiss her cheeks bago ipaupo sa lamesa.

"Good morning, kumain kana at ng mahatid na kita kay nanay Gloria mo" hotdog at bacon lang naluto ko dahil nakalimutan kong bumili ng lulutuin kagabi, paubos na naman ang stock kaya kailangan ko ng bumili, siguro sa linggo nalang dahil busy pa ako at wala akong available na oras para mag grocery.

"Ate lets visit dad on Sunday, pagkatapos ng simba" napatingin ako sakanya when she said that.

Every Sunday, we attend mass, but we can only visit Papa occasionally because I'm losing time. That's probably why she invited me, I smiled.

Even though Papa is no longer here, and she doesn't remember his face much, she still holds onto it. My sister is such an innocent girl; she didn't deserve this cruel world. namatayan ng ama sa murang edad at iniwan ng ina.

"Sure baby, lets have Grocery in that day after we visit" nakisabay na akong kumain sakanya, she's wearing a short and cute pink shirt, kaya na niyang paliguan ang sarili niya kaya hindi na ako nahihirapan pa, kahit bata pa'to, ang rami ng alam, nakikisabay narin siya sa mga matatanda dahil sa talino nito

She's also studying pero wala pa silang pasok, siguro sa makasunod na sabado na, nakalimutan ko pang bumili ng gagamitin niya, ulyanin na ata ako.

"NANAY!" patakbong sinalubong ni Ella si nanay Gloria, niyakap siya ng mahigpit ng matanda at hinalikan sa pisnge "Kyaahh namiss po kitaa nanayy!" napailing nalang ako

"Ikaw talagang bata ka, kakakita lang natin kahapon e" lumapit ako sakanila at nilagay ang mga gamit ni Ella sa loob

"Nasan po si Lenda, nay?"

"Ay naku, maagang umalis, may kailangan pa raw gawin sa skwelahan" tumango nalang ako at lumapit sa kapatid kong nakaupo na ngayon.

"Behave Ella, okay?" I kiss her cheeks

"Opo ate, hihintayin po kita" ang cute ng ngiti nitong bata na'to, nakakahawa

"I will buy you ice cream on Sunday when you didn't give nanay headache"

"Ate cookies" she pouted, napatawa naman ako, we have same favourite, magkapatid talaga kami.

Parang small version ko kasi siya, may pagkahawig kami ng mukha nong bata pa ako

"Okay-okay, cookies" nag pinky promise kami and do our hands deal before leave her to nanay Gloria.

Agad akong sumakay ng jeep. Pagkarating sa school, naglakad ako sa mahabang hallway, marami-rami narin ang studyante. I check my cellphone for time and its 6:30, 7:00 start ng klase kaya siguro ang aga nang mga 'to.

"Aren't you looking at where you're going??!" napatingin ako don sa sumigaw

There was a nerdy girl, hunched over and trembling, and there was another girl with her back turned to me, so I couldn't see her face. But it was evident that she was beautiful because of her well-shaped figure. I stayed on the side, just observing and gossiping. Many students were also looking at them, some even taking pictures and videos. I just shook my head in disbelief.
