Sa sobrang kaba ko, I muted him and turned off my phone. I didn't wait for a reply because knowing him, he'll come. Siya pa ba. He'll need explanations. And of course, I'll give it to him.

Early Sunday morning, I bid my parents goodbye. Pinabaon nila ako ng mga ulam pa para hindi na daw ako bibili. Dalawang malaking baunan pa nga pinabaon sa'kin 'e.

They offered to drive me but I declined. I know they'll stay kaso for quite a bit sa apartment ko but I have to go directly to UP Town after washing up.

The grab driver arrived moments after I booked my ride. Nilagay ko ang mga bagahe sa likod, which contains the clothes I would like to take to Manila. I placed the baunans on my lap and snacked on a biscuit kasi kaunti lamang ang kinain ko sa bahay.

"Thank you po. Keep the change." I said after handing him 500.

I went up using the elevator and opened the door using my keys. First, I fixed every tupperware and placed it inside the ref. After that, I folded my clothes neatly and organized in in my drawer. I looked at the time, mag-n-nine na.

After taking a shower, I changed into my baby pink sun dress with slightly puffed sleeves. Hanggang tuhod lang yung palda. I blowdried my hair and curled the ends. I placed lipgloss na rin and perfume which smelled like vanilla.

I looked at myself in the mirror. Just be yourself, Louise.

I booked my grab again and went down. Nakita kong medyo traffic pero okay lang. The sky cloudy today. I couldn't see the sun.

When the grab car arrived, I quickly got in and told him na sa may entrance niya nalang ako idrop. I requested na dun sa channel na gusto ko ang iplay niya sa radio. He gladly obliged. Tila tala by Syd Hartha was playing.

"Bakit ganito? Sa lahat pa ng tao, ikaw pa ang napiling isigaw ng puso... Sino ba naman ako para piliin mo?" i mouthed the lyrics as it comes. "Tila tala sa kalangitan, kaakit-akit subalit ako'y hanggang tingin lang."

I saw that we were almost there kaya i checked my appearance sa camera ng cellphone ko one last time. Okay, I'm ready. "Ma'am nandito na po tayo. Total po is 125 pesos po."

"Here po kuya," I said as I gave him the exact amount. I had to save my money in case gusto niyang kumain kami sa labas.

I got out the car and felt the wind move my skirt lightly. Not to point na tumaas siya ng sobra sobra. There was not much people because the mall was going to open sa 10:00 palang. And according to my watch, 9:47 palang.
