"hmpp" I moaned , As I slowly emerged from the depths of sleep, I felt the weight of my blanket being tugged away, accompanied by the soft thud of a pillow being thrown in my direction. With a lazy stretch, I opened my eyes, greeted not by the gentle light of morning, but by the piercing glare of my  evil sister.

"Wake up! Your boyfriend is here," she said and stormed out my room

Boyfriend? The thought echoed in my mind as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, trying to make sense of the unexpected announcement.
Aligaga akong bumangon at maghilamos, natawa na lamang ako dahil sa itsura ko sa harap ng salamin.
Mukha akong kinuryente na ewan!
Nang makasiguradong kaaya aya na ang itsura ko sa paningin ko ay saka ko napagdesisyonang lumabas na sa kwarto ko.

As I descended the staircase I couldn't help myself to roll my eyes dahil malayo palang ako rinig kona ang ingay mula sa kusina, Reaching the bottom step,I took a quick peek around the corner and saw Raven in the kitchen. He was wearing a flowery apron and struggling with a fried egg. I couldn't help but smile as I watched him   curse at the egg for sticking to the pan.

"anak ng! masakit na!!!" gigil na sigaw niyang habang seryosong seryoso ang pagbabaliktad sa pritong itlog.

"lika na dito! tago tago kapa diyan e! tusukin kita ng tinidor diyan e!" Raven called out, his voice breaking through my silent observation. I giggled softly and stepped into the kitchen

He pulled out a chair for me to sit at naupo naman ako, naupo nadin siya sa katapat kong upuan.
"kain na habang mainit init pa" aniya saka nagsandok ng sinangag at sunod sunod ang ginawa niyang pagsubo.
  I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when I caught sight of what Raven had prepared. Was that even recognizable as a fried egg? And more importantly, was it edible?

Pabalik balik ang tingin ko sa kaniya na tila sarap na sarap sa kinakain saka sa pagkaing nasa harapan ko.

Napatigil siya sa pagnguya saka ako tiningnan ng nagtatakang tingin sabay tingin sa pagkaing nasa harap ko.

"alam kona iyang tingin na 'yan" pagsisimula niya

"I don't want to insult you pero kasi ang panget ng itsura ng luto mo, and looked at that" turo ko at tinusok tusok ang itlog dahilan para magkagutay gutay ito "Ay basta ang panget talaga!" panglalait ko sa luto niya
Binigyan niya lang ako ng hindi makapaniwalang tingin.

"wow! hindi naman nakakainsulto no?" sagot niya na may bahid ng pagkasarkastiko

"ahmm" hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko , ayoko pinaghirapan niya kita ko kung paano niya ito pinaghirapan.

Iniusog niya ng mas malapit ang plato saakin.

"sige na try mo, don't judge the egg by its cover" aniya saka natawa

Suppressing a chuckle, I picked up my fork and cautiously took a bite, bracing myself for the worst. To my surprise, the egg was actually cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of crispiness around the edges. I couldn't help but be impressed by Raven's culinary skills, despite his earlier struggles

With a grin, I looked up at him and gave him a nod of approval. "Not bad, Raven. Not bad at all."  pagpupuri ko na sana ay hindi kona dapat ginawa dahil nagpogi sign lang ito, ang ngiti niya ay may halong pagmamayabang

"bilib ka nanaman" mayabang na sagot niya na ikinairap ko

We  enjoy our breakfast together, I couldn't help but feel grateful for moments like these, when even the simplest of gestures could bring us closer together.

Sabay kaming napamura nang makita ang oras sa malaking wall clock na nakasabit, ilang minuto nalang ay magsisimula na ang klase, kaya naman dali dali akong tumakbo patungo sa banyo upang maligo at maghanda.
