"It's not a date-date! It's a fucking figure of speech!" Napabangon ako nang wala sa oras dahil sa napagtanto. Puchangama, good thing I researched about it online!
"Ano? Speech? Ha?" Narinig ko ang wala sa sariling pagsasalita ni Reika. Nagising ito dahil sa akin kaya naman dali-dali akong bumaba sa hagdan at tinabihan siya sa kama niya.
"Wala, tulog ka lang, wala kang narinig," I said gently as I tried to soothe her back to sleep. Naging masunurin naman ang demonya at unti-unting pumikit hanggang sa muling makatulog.
Kumuha ako ng mga unan at kumot, saka tinabihan si Reika sa kama niya tutal sobra ko siyang na-miss. Tinakpan ko ng kumot ang mukha niya para masigurong hindi siya biglang sisilip sa cellphone ko. May pagka-ninja rin kasi si Reika, bigla-biglang nagigising kaya mabuti nang sigurado.
Huminga ako nang malalim nang maging komportable na sa pagkakahiga. I raised my phone above my face and squinted at the light emanating from the screen.
"Puchangama," bulong ko sa sarili ko nang makitang alas kwatro na pala ng umaga. I didn't get to sleep because of his message! I can't blame him though, ako naman 'tong masyadong assuming. I'm so dumb to even consider the idea of him trying to ask me out. I mean we're like best friends. He already saw me at my worst, the guy even knows the worst things about me — pretty sure he'll never be interested in me and the feeling is mutual.
