Embracing the Chaos (Eclipse Series #1)

Chapter 39

I rush down to my closet that I almost slips after taking a bath, kung ligo pa ba ang tawag dito? Before, I usually took at least an hour to take a bath to feel the satisfaction but today I only took it for 10 minutes! I'm not satisfied.

Nagmamadali kong pinaikot ang towel sa may ulo ko para huminto sa pagtulo ang drops ng tubig na galing sa basa kong buhok. I sighed while trying to be calm and stop panicking.

Dapat alas sais pa lang ay aalis na ako ng La France para maabutan ko ang christmas eve sa tagaytay. It'll take 4 hours and 35 minutes to get there, it depends pa kung traffic tapos mag-alas siete na at nandito pa ako!

I groaned out of frustration when I realized I'm going to be late! Mabuti na lang, I already packed all of the things I need yesterday, I'm glad that there's no hassle on this one.

I'm drying my wet hair while picking what to wear in the closet. Ang dami kong damit na narito but I can't choose anything to wear!

Napatingin ako sa labas ng bintana habang ginugulo ang basa kong buhok na patuyo na, gan'on na lang ang pag-ngiwi ko nang makita ko ang unti unting pagpatak ng tubig na mula sa langit, later on, it will start to pour over.

I decided to wear the chanel, cashmere white pullover na top, pinaresan ko 'yon ng tattered maong ripped jeans at LV Frontrow sneakers.

I wore a silver thin necklace with an infinity pendant on it. Parang naging normal narin 'to, sanay na akong i-suot ang necklace na 'to lalo na't tuwing may ganap at mga okasyon.

As if it's a tradition, the normal thing for me.

I fixed my make up as my hair started to dry. Finally natapos din. I rush down when I think I'm all prepared and ready to go. Naghanda na ako na umalis pagkatapos kong i-check ang gamit ko. It's all complete, I guess?

Paglabas ko ng unit ko, chineck ko muna ang buong paligid if may tao, I took the chance sprint and went to the elevator when I see no one's around. Phew! I hope no one see me.

I acted cool, pinindot ko ang ground floor at dumeretso rin agad sa parking lot ng condo. Did my friends got there? Napatingin ako sa relong pambisig ko at nakagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi ko nang makitang saktong alas siete na.

Nilagay ko muna ang mga gamit ko isa isa sa trunk ng kotse ko, I dust off my hands before hopping inside of my car. I inserted the key in the ignition and snap it. It took a while for me to realized, and there I knew that I fucked up.

Imbis kasi na gumana, it roared like a broken engine! I tried and tried while wishing for it to start, but nothing happen! Gumagana lang ito saglit ngunit tumitirik lang din ito ulit.

Naisandal ko na lang ang ulo ko sa steering wheel at inis 'yon na hinampas. I sighed, gosh! This trip started to stressing me out!

Did I used it too much for it to be broken? Atsaka ko lang naalala na sa Manila pa pala ako nagpunta kanina at balikan pa 'yon. I had no choice but to go out and check it myself.

Bumaba ako para tignan ang makina, even tho I had no idea on how to fucking fix a car I still going to check it, and even if I knew how to do it, mahuhuli narin naman na ako sa usapan.

Umusok ang makina pagka-angat ko ng hood. Naubo ako at binaba rin ito agad. I heaved a sigh, feeling distressed.

Kinuha ko na muna ang phone ko sa purse ko, I started to think of what to do. Tinawagan ko kaagad si Tati para ma-inform siya sa nangyari.

"Hey, Sachi. What is it? Is there something wrong?" Bungad na tanong niya.

Bakit alam niya agad? I bit my lips.
