Chapter XLVI: Anchor

I never thought that one day I would be able to cut my hair, dye it, or have a tattoo. I never thought it would really happen because I know that I am not allowed to do it. My mom would be outrageous, she may lock me up in a room, hit me, or anything worse that I can’t imagine anymore.

I did not show Chris how excited I am. But deep inside, I already know what tattoo I will put and where I will ask it to be put. I stayed quiet.

From broad daylight to red orange sky, we watched it turn dark.

We’re still on the road. It’s traffic, almost nighttime, I am bored, I even asked a lot of times how long will the ride really be. Madami naman tattoo parlor, pero ang layo ng nilalakbay namin. Maghapon nang nagdadrive si Chris, he looks tired but due to the traffic he is able to rest a little bit.

He turned on the radio and a familiar song was playing. Elisi from a local band called Rivermaya, my favorite artists.

I wanted to sleep but I can’t, masyadong naging masarap ang tulog ko kanina
