A Writer's Game

Chapter 1

kyrankayamamahalin requested to follow you.

My phone flashed a notification na binalewala ko naman. Spam account lang siguro 'yon, only my friends know my super hidden, like very lowkey IG account.

casavanah:
hey, kiko dm-ed me na you didn't confirm his follow request.

My brows furrowed upon seing Sav's message. Wala naman kasi akong natanggap na follow request from him. Only this kyrankayamamahalin.

                                                                    azeliazie:
                            No "Kiko" followed me though.

casavanah:
his username is kyran-something.

                                                                    azeliazie:
                                                                                Oh.

I immediately confirmed the said account and a messaged from him then arrived.

kyrankayamamahalin:
tnx sa pag accept lods🫶
        
                                                                    azeliazie:
                                              Thanks for following.

kyrankayamamahalin:
ob kors, icow na kya yan hehe

                                                                    azeliazie:
                                                                          What?

kyrankayamamahalin:
ay expensive peops ka pala, wait change personality muna aq

/*changes personality

Hey, it's Kiko pala and a simple follow back would be a nice thank you gift. Haha. No pressure though, talking to you is already the best gift I received.

Natawa ako with the sudden change of approach. And I then did what he requested, napa-stalk pa nga ako sa account niya.

Very random ang feed niya, most pictures are with his friends or about sepak takraw. But what caught my attention was his bio.

Zzzzz..

What a unique bio, showing off his love for sleep. I guess this is one thing we have in common.

azeliazie:
You like to sleep? So do I. Saw your bio, really like it.

kyrankayamamahalin:
No, I like you

-rs better, sorry, accidentally sent it before finishing😆

azeliazie:
haha.

"Azelia, phone." Short but sent shivers down my spine. Napatingin ako kay Mommy that was standing in the doorway, looking at me angrily.

It's so suffocating.

"Sorry, Mom. I'll continue to study na po." I said and turned off my phone. Bumalik ako sa pagbabasa and I could only breathe nang umalis na siya sa kwarto.

Napabitaw ako sa librong hinahawakan at nilagay ang mga kamay sa mukha. Tears then fell from my eyes.

I was silently crying and I tried to comfort myself. Who could comfort me but I?
