Love Letters and Melodies (Monarchy Series 1)

Twenty-Fourth Letter

No

I looked at my coffee, the dogs are still eating their breakfast. I yawned for the third time. The silhouette of the sun is now on my veranda. Panibagong araw na naman. My schedule for today will be busy. Ito ang unang araw na wala na si Annie sa opisina. I will be on my own, mamaya namang dinner ay makikita ko na si Kuya. 

This time, all of it sinks to me. Hindi ko pa nakikita ang social media matapos ang post ni Travis. I didn't read nor open any of the articles about it. Mas lalo akong nastress sa mga naiisip ko. So this is what t feels like. Napahigop na lamang ako sa kape ko.

My phone rang and I answered it after the third ring. I yawned again and go outside the veranda. Ang ganda talaga ng sunrise. 

"Hello?"

"Good morning pretty." his husky voice greeted me.

I rolled my eyes and smile. Alam na alam niya talaga ang kiliti ng mga babae. No doubt everyone can fall for him. Nauna na nga ako sa mga nahulog sa kanya. 

"Good morning."

"You ready today?"

"Yup."

"You're not nervous?"

Alam ko na agad ang tinutukoy niya. All of the employee's eyes are looking at me later. Hindi lang iyon, maging ang mga fans niya ay mainit rin ang tingin sa akin. I got curious about how it turns out. Puro ba pambabash iyon o marami rin namang sumuport. I sighed once more. Kahit ayokong isipin ay hindi maalis iyon sa akin. But knowing he is with me this time, I should not be bothered.

"Why would I?" matapang kong sagot.

"My Maggie grew to be a lady now." asar nito.

Napailing na lamang ako sa sinabi niya. He compliments me so much that I think he just wants to tease me. I can still hear the sound of his bedsheet every time he moves. Ang boses niya ay inaantok pa rin.

"I'll need to get ready. I will hang up now. Bumangon ka na rin diyan"

"Yes, baby.."

"See you later"

Pinatay ko na iyon at naghanda na. Kahit gusto kong magbukas ng social media ay pinigilan ko ang sarili. I leave a message to Annie and to my parents. Mamaya ay magkikita kami sa dinner kina Dominic. Kuya is on his way back home. Sana ay maayos ang mangyayari mamaya. 

I looked at my closet and think what should I wear. Hindi ko alam pero kabado na ako ngayon. My wild imagination is running through my head. I wore a white long sleeve corset-style top and a white above-the-knee skirt. I picked my latest black heels. Hindi naman masyadong garbo iyon. Tinali ko na lamang ng mababa ang buhok at pinanatili ang hati noon sa gitna. I wore my earrings and a simple necklace. Nag make ako ng light lamang.
