When they left, my father did too. He left me alone at the dining table. Ni hindi na niya inubos 'yung kape na ginawa ko. The moment my brother and Celestine left for school, tumayo na rin siya while looking for something on his phone. I sighed and smiled to myself.
This is no longer new to you, Audrey Quinn.
"Nanay Marie!" I called and she immediately showed up from the back of our house. "Salamat po sa masarap na breakfast!" I happily said with a huge smile on my face.
Nanay Marie placed her hands on top of her chest and said, "Nako, pinapakilig mo naman ako masyado! At saka, gumagaling ka na talaga sa pagtatagalog, ah!" She laughed while fixing the dining table.
I decided to help her clean it dahil maaga pa naman. Nanay Marie was stacking up the plates while I was carefully transferring the used glasses to the sink. "Hay, bata ka! Huwag mo nang galawin 'yan! Kami na ang bahala d'yan," suway niya sa akin.
She was too persistent! That's why I've decided to just chill in my room and do the last three tasks that I left last night because I was too sleepy and tired to finish them. The deadline is three days from now kaya okay lang na hindi ko muna siya matapos agad. I hate cramming but I also don't want to pressure myself too much.
Rest is just as important as work.
While I was busy doing my unfinished tasks, my phone kept on beeping multiple times. At first, I thought it was just our group chat dahil halos araw-araw nag-iingay sina Astrid doon. But when I finally reached for the phone that I left on my bedside table to charge, my assumption was proven wrong.
It was Fourthsky.

I felt my soul leave my body when I read his latest message. He is already on his way here! At hindi pa ako nag-aayos! Without even thinking, I ran toward my closet to pick the comfiest outfit that I could get. I settled for a ribbed-square neck cropped top in the color of pastel blue and white sweatpants. I also grabbed my overused denim jacket just to be sure — baka may sumita sa akin.
