Sorry
My first day back in Manila was a blur.
It was far from how I expected it to be.
Everything seems like a complete turnaround of events for me.
Kaya't sa sumunod na umaga ay hindi ko maiwasang mapatulala sa kisame.
A night has passed.
And I can't believe that I really stayed over in this bizarre house.
I basically spent the night under the same roof with the same guy who caused my tears for years.
The same guy who used to keep me up all night. Just because of that dratted piece of picture. And that one loathsome night that caused all these. That particular incident that left me questioning my value and even doubting my worth.
Pinilig ko ang ulo.
Kahit alas-singko pasado pa lang ng umaga ay bumangon na ako.
Things are just escalating so quickly. The vast transition of things is making me feel uncomfortable. I just.. don't see this making sense.
Binuksan ko ang ilaw ng kwarto saka kinuha ang telepono. Tinawagan ko ang numero ni Jelin at hinintay siyang sumagot habang tahimik akong nakatayo.
Nang marinig ang munting tunog na nangangahulugan ng pagsagot niya ay napatuwid ako.
"Jelin," bungad ko.
Groans were all I can hear from the other line at first. Halatang naabala ko pa ang pagtulog niya.
"Yawa," paos na mura niya. "Siguraduhin mong importante 'to,"
I can't help but chuckle.
"Wala lang. Just checking if you're awake in this ungodly hour." pang-iinis ko.
Nang halos isumpa niya na 'ko ay mas lalo lang akong napahalakhak.
"Tuloy na ba mamaya yung flight mo?" I eventually asked.
"Oo, pisti." inis pa rin na sabi niya.
Napapangisi na lang ako. If I didn't know him well, I'd probably think that he's really pissed. Pero dahil kilalang-kilala ko na siya ay alam kong nag-iinarte lang siya.
"Nag-book ka na ng lodging di ba? San ka nga ulit mags-stay?" I asked.
"Royalton," he simply said.
I nodded although he couldn't see.
