I woke up the next morning when I heard someone knocking on my door. I turned my back to the door before placing my pillow on my head to cover my ears but he was so persistent."Wake up! Kanina pa ako tapos magluto ng agahan!" I heard Asher's voice before knocking again. I groaned in annoyance before getting up to open the door. I looked at him badly as soon as I opened the door but he just smiled at me before hovering over my clothes. He blinked a few times before averting his gaze."Grabe, alam kong bagong gising ka pero sana inayos mo muna sarili mo bago humarap sa akin," he said as he wiped her face using his hand. "Ano pang ginagawa mo? Magbihis ka na!" he commanded me before slightly pushing me. I unconsciously scanned my clothes and when I realized what he said I let out a soft curse before I slammed the door shut. "What the fuck. This was your fault! If you hadn't aggressively knocked..." I can't finish what I'm saying because of the embarrassment I felt."Sorry. Hintayin ka
I was feeling lazy the next day. I was exhausted because I had to save someone this morning. I had taken a shower and all when I went down but I was still drowsy."Good morning, zombie."I heard Asher's voice from the kitchen so I quickly rubbed my eyes to confirm if he was really the one I heard. I saw him wearing an apron while holding a spatula."What are you doing here?" I asked in astonishment. I walked over to the refrigerator to get some cold drinking water to wake me up."I came here to cook breakfast. Wala kayong kakainin ng kapatid mo kung hindi ko gagawin 'to," he said."We can order, you know," I said artfully."Gastos na naman," he whispers. "Tatawa talaga ako ng malakas kapag isang araw ubos na pera mo."I raised my brow at him. "Excuse me? Are you saying something?""Wala, umupo ka na diyan," he said in monotone. I heard footsteps from the stairs so I assumed that it was Aeris. And I was right. She's still in her pajamas while carrying her dog. Our eyes immediately met
"Surprise!" I frowned when I saw Kaito with a big smile in front of me."Sabi ko, surprise!" he repeated himself and acted like he's throwing confetti. I remained a poker face on my face. "Grabeng reaksyon 'yan, alam kong miss na miss mo ako!" he joked."Ha ha, funny," I said in sarcasm before slightly pushing him. "I heard someone is doorbelling. I thought I had a visitor," I said with no emotion on my face."Grabe, ako lang 'yon! Huwag mo namang ipahalatang hindi mo ako mamukhaan kasi sobrang pumogi ako lalo!"I gave him a disgusted look before closing the gate. I even laughed when he banged his head while entering."Aray! Ano ba 'yan! Ganito na ba talaga kapag matangkad?" he complained while slightly massaging his head."There's this word called stupid. It suits you," I told him."Okay lang, pogi pa rin," he said again. Why is he so GGSS? He looks like a mushroom to me! "Uy, aso! Bakit may aso?!" his eyes widened as he looked at me. He knew I was allergic to dogs. "Long story," I
"Shit," I mumbled before I ran faster. "I will kill you when I catch you! I swear. Did you hear me?!" I shouted. I turned right before effortlessly going ahead of him on his way. I was still catching my breath when I looked sharply into his eyes."I said, I'll kill you, for real," I told him before getting the wallet he snatched. The police who were chasing him also arrived and quickly handcuffed him."Thank you, thank you!" she said when I gave her wallet to her. "Maraming maraming salamat, hija!""Be careful next time," I said before turning my back. I sighed before getting the alcohol in my pocket to wash my hands then I lazily crossed over to the other road with my hands placed inside my pocket. I was just quiet as I walked into Asher's condominium.I encountered two girls having a conversation when I entered the lift but I just ignored them. "Dito ata siya nakatira. I wanna see his face for real."I heard the girl say before giggling. When I reached the exact floor, I went out
"May parcel ka raw!" Aeris shouted from the living room. I immediately went down then hurried to the gate."Si Ma'am Alessia Mackenzie po?" he politely asked when I opened the gate."That's me!" I said like a kid, I even raised my left hand before getting a parcel."Paki-pirmahan nalang po ito, Ma'am," he handed me a paper. I was smiling widely while signing it. "Thank you, po."I closed the gate before heading back inside. "What's that?" Aeris asked me. I immediately went to the kitchen to wash my hands before opening it."What else? It's a bag!" I told her. I feel like my eyes turned into a heart shape when I saw the bag. I only ordered this yesterday and was really surprised that it was shipped immediately. This is so pretty!"Saan Ate mo?" I heard Asher's voice so my smile faded. I put the bag on the table before waiting for him to come to the kitchen."Hi," he greeted me. I just raised my brow on him. "Galit ka pa ba? Sorry na, hindi naman kita sinisisi kahapon. Sinasabi ko lan
"Come on! Don't make me work here again!" I said while following him inside his office. We're at his Restaurant again and I need to work because of that damn bag that arrived earlier. "That bag? I told you I ordered that last month pa! I swear!""Kahit na. Gumastos ka nanaman ng pera para sa bag. Kita mo? Ni wala ka ngang bitbit na bag ngayon. Anong gagawin mo sa mga 'yon? May balak kang magtinda online, ganon? Pa-mine na lang po," he sarcastically said."Come on! Please naman, if you let me work here as a cashier I might end up fighting one of your customers again!""Give me a valid reason," he said."I might cause trouble again!""I don't care," he crossed his arms before leaning on his desk. "Pumunta ka na ron, palitan mo na si Hannah.""Oh, please! Why are you doing this to me?" I asked him before massaging my head."Para malaman mo na kailangan mo munang paghirapan ang isang bagay bago mo makuha. Sa laki ng pera na ginagastos mo para lang sa isang bag na hindi mo naman gagamitin,
I remained in the living room after Asher went out. Someone called him at sigurado akong problema na naman 'yon sa Restaurant niya. Binalik ko ang atensyon na pinapanood namin nang marinig kong bahagyang tumawa si Rose pero wala na akong maintindihan. I have no choice but to just look at the TV, reading the subtitles. Pinilit kong intindihin kung anong nangyayari sa movie but I gave up noong wala talaga akong maintindihan. I just waited for the movie to end."Do you want to watch another movie?" she asked me. I shook my head before sighing. "Problem?" she asked me again. "Nothing. I'm just... tired," I told her honestly. I sighed again before talking. "I think you're right, my end is coming. I might die now... later, tomorrow. I don't know. Who knows, right? That I am about to disappear from this world." "Aren't you happy? This is what you have long wanted to happen." The deity asked her. "You're right," I agreed. "But I don't know why I don't feel happy at all. Now that I'm al
I don't know how I slept last night and how I managed to go to bed. All I can remember is that I'm just leaning my head on Asher's shoulder, nothing more. I didn't waste time na so I took a bath before going downstairs only to find out that Asher is there talking to Aeris."What are you doing here?" I asked him kahit na hindi pa ako nakakababa ng hagdan. They both turned their heads to me and suddenly shut their mouth which made me raise my brow. "Are you guys backstabbing me?"They both looked at each other before Asher stood up to greet me. "Good morning.""What?" masungit na tanong ko. Inirapan ko siya bago umupo sa pwesto niya kanina. "How's your work?" I asked Aeris."I'm still in the process of learning everything, not yet working," she told me. "And can you send someone else to teach me? Sobrang annoying kasi ni Kaito. He always finds time to annoy me. At sobrang kulit niya rin, he’s very talkative, too.”"He's not Kaito if he's not like that," I replied. "Ano nga? Anong pinag
