Sa paggising ni Sapphire ay sya ring pagtingin nya sa labas ng bintana. Nadungaw nya ang magandang paglubog ng araw.
I just missed a day.
She thought.
Lately I've just been waking up, and actually never done exciting yet, it's already 3 days, and my third day's about to end, tomorrow it'll be my fourth.
Bumangon ang dalaga sa pagkakahiga, at naglakad patungo sa salamin.
Nang makita nya na maayos lang naman ang kanyang itsura ay lumabas sya ng kwarto.
Pababa pa lang sya ng hagdan ay may nagtatawanan na, alam nyang yun ay ang magkakapatid.
They might act as if they are robots (emotionless), yet they are still like normal siblings, fighting over little things, sharing stories, and laughing at some corny jokes. Siblings is just the best, Sap had always wished for one. But it's okay for her. She enjoys being an only child, at some point.
She also noticed something when she finally got a view of their faces. It was that, their emotionless face is just a mask covering their happy smiles.
Para lang silang yung iba, na tinatago yung totoong sila. People who hides their true selves, are normally the ones who believe that, your true self can be your own weakness. Na yung pinapakita mong saya, maaaring gamitin ng iba laban sayo para matalo ka. Na yung totoong ikaw, yun pa ang maaaring ipanlaban sayo. Well that's what Sapphire assumed.
That's what their faces show.
Hindi napansin ng dalaga na nakatitig na sakanya ang magkakapatid.
"Ate Sap?" pagtawag sakanya ni Lily.
"Ah, Good morning, uhm... N-nasaan yung b-bathroom nyo?" tanung ni Sap. Nginitian sya ni Lulu at Lily.
"Ah! Lika ate samahan na kita," she nodded naman as agreement. And said "Sige, thank you".
Before leaving she saw in her peripheral vision, that Nathan's eyes are looking at her.
He was looking at Sapphire, with pure relief, and a little bit worriedness.
Why? why look at me like that?
(Sapphire's mind)
