Purro: Your not so Ordinary Love Story

CHAPTER TWELVE
~♦~

There are days when you feel  like you just want to sleep in for the whole day and never meet up with people. You just want to be bundled up in your room, hiding from the harshness of the world and stare endlessly at your clean ceiling. 

That's what I'm feeling right now.

Sana weekends ang gawing regular days at weekdays ang gawing no work or no classes. Siguro sobrang saya lahat ng tao. 

"Cheese, wake up." I heard Julien entered my room, I buried myself with my blanket and pillows. I've never felt so demotivated my whole life at hindi ko din alam kung bakit kailangan kong maramdaman 'to.

"Cheese." Julien jumped on my bed and shook me. "Breakfast is ready." He pulled the blanket off my face and started to pinch my cheeks.

"Julien, I need more sleep. Go and tell nanay that I won't be going to school." I mumbled with eyes still closed. I covered my face again with the blanket.

"You need to go, Cheese." Dinaganan ako ni Julien then he squirmed himself to me.

"Julien, stop it." I squinted at him and gently pushed him off me.

Mabilis namang bumaba yung bata sa kama at nakarinig na lang ako ng pagsara ng pintuan. I pulled more pillows to hug and went back to my peaceful sleep. However, wala pang dalawang minuto ay may nagbukas na naman ng pintuan ko. I grunted, I knew that it would only take seconds until someone disturbs me again.

"Mongs. Bakit ayaw mo daw pumasok?" I heard my kuya's gentle yet stern voice. Hindi ko siya sinagot. I ignored his question and curled myself more.

"Hoy." Kuya's weight made the bed shift. He tapped my covered body.

"Wag mo sabihing tinatamad ka dahil kay Blanc?" He asked again. Doon na ako umaksyon. Why would they think that I'm being like this because of that guy?  Wala ba akong karapatan na maging tamad kahit minsan? Bakit kailangan lahat i-coconnect kay Blanc? Sino ba siya sa buhay ko?

Oo nga, sino nga ba siya sa buhay ko? Why am I being defensive? 

"Kuya, hindi ba pwedeng wala lang ako sa mood pumasok?" I answered back, I'm still covered with blanket at mukhang in-off na ni Julien yung aircon.

"Bakit ka nga mawawala sa mood? Ano? Walang dahilan? Are you going mental?" Sunod-sunod na tanong ni kuya sa akin. I'm starting to get irritated dahil una, mainit na at pangalawa, bakit ba lahat na lang ng bagay kailangan ng dahilan? I pushed myself up and removed the blanket over me.

"Ayokong makita mga tao sa school, bakit kailangan lahat may dahilan? Hindi ba pwedeng araw lang ng pagkatamad ko ngayon?" I snapped at my brother. He smirked then moved closer to me. He immediately removed the remnants of sleep off my eye then pinched my cheek.
