Chapter 22
I woke up with a light feeling. Our night ended up with peace. It took time bago natapos ang munting hindi pagkakaintindihan namin. I lowered down my pride for the sake of our relationship.
If I didn't brought down my pride maybe I'm up now with a heavy feeling from within. It was all my fault.
Ang unfair naman siguro kung siya pa ang maglalambing sa akin kung ako naman talaga ang may kasalanan.
This relationship of ours is composed by him and I. Napagtanto ko na sana inisip ko siya bago gumawa ng desisyon. I was desperate to finally get rid with Evonn.
He didn't send me a message after everything yesterday which is I’m glad about. I think I couldn't handle him because Deriel and I was not in a good state yesterday.
Bumangon na ako sa pagkakahiga ko at pumunta sa munting vanity dito sa loob ng kwarto ko. I'm thankful for this, I don't need to go the bathroom just to fix myself.
Deriel assembled this one. Our unit has only one bathroom and it’s not convenient when Deriel and I are in hurry.
Sinuklay ko ang aking buhok dahil sobrang sabog nito. It took me couple of minutes fixing myself before going outside to cook for our breakfast. I'm expecting Deriel in his room fixing himself or in the sala sipping in his hot coffee.
Lumabas ako sa kwarto at dumeretso sa kusina para magluto ng umagahan Sinilip ko and sala to see if Deriel is around pero wala siya. I'm sure about talking to him first today but, he's not around.
Napagdesisyunan ko na pasukin ang kwarto niya baka nando'n siya para ayusin ang sarili. He is always done taking a bath lately before I got up.
Pinihit ko ang door knob sa pintuan niya at unti-unti itong binuksan. I sighed when I saw his room empty and quiet. Iniiwasan niya ba ako? Galit pa rin ba siya sa akin? I thought we're good already.
I told him yesterday "we're cool, right?" and then he said "yes" so there's no reason that he's leaving me without any permission. Is he taking revenge on me?
I am so confused, I am not used to this.
I decided to cook breakfast already.
Maybe he is just out para magpahangin.
Nagsaing ako sa rice cooker and I washed the pan so that I can use it already. For today's breakfast, I'm cooking scrambled egg and bacon.
Una kong niluto ang itlog and then the bacons. I am cooking extra foods for our lunch. Salitan kaming nagluluto pero ngayon, I am doing it, sort of peace offering. I fried the last bacon and there’s no sign of Deriel showing up.
I decided to pack for our lunch since the rice is all set. I took some tuperwares and then filled it with foods enough for him and me. I placed his on a paper bag and I just left mine on the table, I'm going to place it in my bag later.
Kinuha ko ang phone ko to see if Deriel left a message for me to tell where he is but am disappointed when I saw nothing. Walang mensahe ang galing sa kanya and I saw Evonn's messages instead.
I typed a message for him hoping that he can read it. It's so quiet in the condo and I am kind of not used to it. I pressed "send" after typing the message for him.
To: Deriel
Nasaan ka, El?
Binuksan ko ang mga mensahe ni Evonn and it's all nonsense. Ang kapal ng mukha niya na bigyan ako ng mensahe when we did made a deal to leave me after that day. I'll regret giving him my number if he’s going to send me messages everyday. He's annoying me.
