The next day ay nagising akong nakikitang mahimbing ang tulog ni Madam Uyab. The pillow I gave her probably did the trick kasi yakap na yakap, e.

"Eero, maligo ka na at nang makatulong ka sa labas!" si LolaNey

Agad akong napangiti at tumango para peace on earth. Agad kong kinuha ang towel ko at mamartsa na dapat papasok ng banyo kaso napansin kong may gumagamit pa kaya napatambay muna ako sa kuwarto.

Everyone is slowly getting up lalo na ang mga elderly and for some reason, nagising na rin si Janine.

"Good morning!" I greeted.

Malapit lang kasi ako sa kama niya nakatambay kaya ako agad makikita niya.

"Good morning, Eero! Ang sarap naman nang gising ko!" she said while smiling widely, "Were you staring at me while I'm asleep?" she continued while giggling some more.

"Cute mo!" sabi ko na lang because I think it will be rude if sabihin kong hindi. I mean, I did looked at her while she was asleep kanina!

She smiled widely. "Grabe siya! Wait, gisingin ko lang si kamahalan at baka ma late na naman ito—

"Wait, don't do it! Let her sleep some more! Matagal pa naman mababakante ang bathroom e! She slept so late last night kaya let her be na muna!" I explained

Bahagyang napakunot ang noo niya, "Oh, o—okay! Mamaya ko na lang siya gigisingin after maligo!" she smiled and I smiled back at her naman.

Nang mabakante ang isa pang banyo kung saan naliligo kaming mga lalaki ay agad na akong naligo! Ang lamig ng tubig but definitely, this one of the reason why I love going to places like this. Everything feels natural and pretty close to nature. But then, few more days, balik city life na rin ako and I love that kind of idea too. Oo naman!

Today, we will be going to some distant barrios by walking. Hindi kinakaya ng mga sasakyan doon kaya kailang magkusa talagang pumunta! Of course, we are escorted by reliable men kasi bukod sa mahirap ang daan, dangers can actually occur kaya kailangan doble ingat.

"Ee, be sure to do your duty without any other sideline, narinig mo? I want you to be careful too and avoid being mischievous, it's a dangerous place! Understand?"

LolaNey isn't coming with us due to old age. Ayaw ko rin siyang pasamahin personally knowing how dangerous and tiresome the treck will be. Ayaw ko siyang mahirapan! Isa pa, we will surely go home by afternoon kaya mabilis lang naman kami.

"Oo naman, LolaNey! Trust me, okay? I'll be gentle—aray! LolaNey talaga!" reklamo ko kasi nakurot ako. Hindi naman intense, drama lang ang reaksyon ko, pero kinabahan ako ng kaunti doon ha!

You see, I hate getting hit! Alam niyo iyon, masakit at talagang nakakatakot! As much as possible talaga, tinatry kong iavoid ang bagay na iyon! Well, it feels as if it's chasin me and Nanay's an excemption! Although alam ni Nanay na I despise being physically hit, she has this one rule— kung mabait walang sakit and then most of the time, nasusuway ko iyon kaya napapahamak ako! I understand! And one more thing, girl's slapping my pretty face is something I can tolerate once too, I mean, it's normal! Isa pa, kapag ginagawa nila sa akin iyon, then that's the end of the story. Of course! Ano sila? Sinuswerte!

I silently smirked.

"Osya, I guess everyone is ready! Be back safe, okay? Habang naghihintay sa inyo, we will do the remaining vaccine shots na hindi natapos kahapon!" sabi na lamang nito.
