After what happened yesterday, Lora didn't talk to me. I chatted her multiple times after I received my load, but I didn't receive even one reply. Maybe she's busy in her club's activities. She mentioned yesterday that she's the vice president of it.
I sighed as I turned off my phone. I'm still using mobile data since we don't have a wifi yet. Sinabi ko na iyon sa kanila papa kagabi pero ang sabi niya ay wala pa raw siyang oras para magpakabit. Hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko para libangin ang sarili, naubos ko nang basahin lahat ng manga na nasa TBR list ko, while the animes are still on going and doesn't have any updates.
Napabuntong hiniga na naman ako sa ikalawang ulit.
"Kanina ka pa diyan, tamad na tamad ka na ba sa buhay mo, Luigi?" Umupo si Astra sa tabi ko at saka nilapag ang niluto niyang lumpiang shanghai sa mesa. We're on the living room now. She borrowed a flash drive from her friend and she invited me to watch with her. Pero hindi ko naman gusto ang mga gusto niyang panoorin, it was a Korean drama series about a doctor who fell in love with a fictional character.
"Boring," sabi ko sa kaniya. Kumuha ako ng isang pirasong lumpia at kinagat ito. Pero mabilis na nagsisi ako nang mapaso ang dila dahil sa init. Natawa ang kapatid ko nang mabilis ko itong iluwa.
"Why don't you consider joining Lora's club?" She started inserting the flash drive into the TV.
"Hindi naman ako marunong mag-skate."
"Hindi ko naman tinanong kung marunong ka o hindi. What's important is whether you're interested or not."
She has a point. But what's the exact reason why I'm joining that club? Is being interested enough? What makes figure skating interesting?
For unknown reason, the man on rollers yesterday suddenly pops on my head again. It was mesmerizing to watch that I couldn't keep my eyes from it. I even remembered how he jumps while spinning mid-air.
"Lalabas ako," sabi ko kay Astra. Mabilis akong tumayo at saka kinuha ang dog leash ni Klio.
"Where are you going?" Tumaas ang kilay ni Astra habang nagtatanong. "The show is starting, you don't wanna watch it?"
"I'm going to walk Klio at the park." Ikinabit ko na sa aso ang leash. Hindi naman ito pumalag pa at hinayaang maikabit ko iyon ng maayos sa kaniya.
Astra was amazed when she heard me said those words. "Okay, ingat." Iyon lang ang sinabi niya bago ako hinayaang makalabas ng bahay.
Confusion pops right through me when I realized that I suddenly just decided to go out. For some people it might be a normal circumstance, but for someone like me who usually locks myself inside of my small comfort zone, this is a little bit surprising. No wonder even my sister was a little bit of surprised.
Pero nandito na ako sa labas. I think I just have to enjoy the rest of the day outside. Knowing that in the following days I'll be surrounded by my room's wall for a long time again. But it felt like today's different. It's like my curiousity is urging me to go out and see something that caught my eyes the other day.
