I didn't know if I even slept a wink the whole night when I opened my eyes the following morning. All I know is I still feel restless even though I took my daily dose of pills to bring myself to bed last night after he left.
Malalim akong bumuntong hininga at nanatiling nakahiga. Nagtagal ang mga titig ko sa kisame na mistulang walang balak bumangon habang inaalala kung anong tagpo ang nangyari kagabi.
What happened just keeps on bombarding my head.
The look on his face, his words, and even how his arms felt against my body are running havoc in my system.
My thoughts are in haywire. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat isipin at maramdaman. There's a weird feeling in my chest that wants to be heard, but a part of me is forcing it to be silent like it is forbidden to be discussed.
I'm in a state of confusion, but I hate how I'm well aware of what I should do and what I shouldn't.
Because days from now, I'm going to be married. And with the current situation we have between our warring families, I don't think this uncertain feelings can even stand a chance.
Nasapo ko ang noo at napapikit nang mariin upang ihinto na ang mga naiisip. Nagsimula akong bumangon saka naalala na dito nagpalipas ng gabi si Zara.
With the thought of her in my head, I instantly turned to look at the space beside me where she slept, only to find it empty.
Maayos na ang pinaghigaan niya na waring walang bakas na natulog siya sa tabi ko kagabi. Tamad akong tumayo at tinapunan ng tingin ang orasan.
It's still too early from my usual wake up time, but since I can no longer sleep, I immediately put on my house slippers and stride my way towards my bedroom door.
Lumabas ako doon para tignan kung nasaan si Zara. Dumiretso ako sa receiving area ngunit nakitang walang tao roon. I checked the bathroom in case she was there only to find it empty too.
Kumunot ang noo ko nang hindi siya mahanap kaya't tinalunton ko ang daan papunta sa kitchen dahil iyon na lamang ang parte ng condo ko ang hindi ko pa tinignan ngunit wala rin siya doon.
Akma akong hahakbang paalis doon upang bumalik sa kuwarto para tawagan siya nang mahagip ng mga mata ko ang isang tumbler mula sa kitchen counter na may nakadikit na sticky note.
Lumapit ako at dinampot iyon para basahin.
Good morning! Sorry I left without making paalam. I don't want to wake you up so early kasi. I called Kuya Levi to pick me up naman. Thank you for letting me stay the night, Raegan!
P.S. Here's a hot choco for you when you wake up.

Napailing ako nang mabasa ko nang buo ang nakasulat. By the way she had written the note with her usual conyo tone made me think that she already regain her condition as if she didn't cry with a broken heart last night.
Naglakad ako pabalik sa kuwarto upang maligo muna habang hawak ang note sa kamay saka iniwan ang tumbler sa kitchen counter. I'll just drink it after I take a bath.
I spent a couple of minutes to freshen up until I was done. I picked a comfortable house wear since I'm just going to be in the house for the day to write.
Pagkatapos ko doon ay saka ako lumabas muli ng silid upang mag-agahan.
Dumiretso ako agad sa kusina dahil alam kong nandoon na si Ashton nang katukin niya ako kanina para tawaging kumain.
Nang makarating ako sa doon ay kaswal akong lumapit sa dining at nakitang handa na ang hapagkainan.
Tinapunan ko lang ng tingin si Ashton na nakatalikod sa akin mula sa sink. Most of the time, he's really the one preparing my meals lalo na sa umaga tuwing pumupunta siya rito para makisabay kumain. Minsan ay nagpapadeliver na lang siya lalo tuwing kailangan naming magmadaling pumasok sa trabaho pero minsan ay siya naman mismo ang nagluluto.
