Do You Know How? (COMPLETED)

(DYKH) LIKE

I got home safe and I don't know why. I was literally pinned on the floor when I heard him say the three magic words. I wasn't expecting that I'll hear him saying that...to me.

We're best of friends, right? I shouldn't overthinking things. Besides, he's asleep that time. Of course, he didn't mean what he'd said. Ugh! Unrecovered yet of what had happened yesterday, Nath and his jokes and Renz and his confession. They don't want me to sleep, to rest, do they?

It's now 12:34 in the midnight, I'm still up! Drinking coffee while watching TV shows. Not that I usually do it, I just want to get away from all of the thoughts that haunt me down.

Dead tired, I decided to go upstairs. Hindi naman porke panghapon ang schedule ko, magpupuyat na ako. If staying up late would earn me money, Surely, I'm gonna be the youngest billionaire now.

Kung nakakayaman lang talaga ang pagpupuyat.

I forced myself to sleep and it worked. 7 in the morning, I woke up. Ilang oras lang ako nakatulog? Yawning, I did my morning rituals. I checked my phone and I received some messages. My heart thumped and increase its pace when I saw one message from him.

From Renz:

Thank you.

Sent ✔️

It's just a simple thank you but it rendered me speechless the moment I read it. I felt like I'm brought back to the moment when he confessed.

I shook my head to at least dissolve my swelling inappropriate thoughts. I breathed deeply and typed a reply.

To Renz:

See you later |

Should I send it? But...he might think I am looking forward to seeing him.

To Renz:

No problem. Take care.

Sent✔️

I turned off my phone immediately, hoping he wouldn't respond. It's making me confuse—thinking my bestfriend has this feeling towards me. I mean, all of a sudden?

I chose not to go back in bed, I need a coffee. I went downstairs and sadly, my parents left early. Now I need to cook for myself, ate Selya's used to me waking up around 9 to 10, having breakfast around 11. And it's just 7. So, what's up Chef Hazel?

Kinuha ko na sa fridge 'yung hotdogs. Hinanda ko na rin ang itlog, just a simple breakfast for me.

Nang matapos sa pagluluto ay saka lang bumaba si ate Selya, nagtaka pa ito kung bakit ang aga ko magising. Hindi ko naman pwedeng sabihin na umamin 'yung kaibigan ko kaya hindi ako nakatulog ng maayos, lalo na kung 'di pa naman ako sigurado. We don't know, maybe I'm not the Hazel in his dreams.

"Masyadong maikli ang tulog mo, bumalik ka sa kwarto't matulog pa ulit." Sabi ni ate Selya sa 'kin. Inilingan ko ito at nilunok muna ang nginunguya ko.

"Sakto lang po. Si kuya Biloy, kamusta na po?"

"Medyo mahirap daw ang ginagawa pero ayos naman." Alanganing sagot ni ate Selya. I didn't ask further, ramdam kong ayaw pag-usapan ni ate Selya si kuya. What happened? Love quarrel?

"Eh, kayo po?"

"Ayos lang din." She lied. She continued eating and so did I. Nang matapos naman ay nagpaalam na ako na aakyat. Napag-isip isip ko na rin na magcellphone na lang muna dahil hindi ko na talaga alam ang takbo ng newsfeed ko. I actually didn't know when's the last time I checked my social media accs.
