UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES OF YESTERDAY

21

"Marie, wake up" I said while shaking her shoulder so that she would know that I'm waking her. "Dinner is ready"

"Uhm?" she said, slowly opening her eyes. "Kanina ka pa ba jan?" she stood up and stretch her arms. Not knowing about her position kanina, maybe sanay na siyang ganoon talaga.

"Hindi, kakapasok ko lang" I said. "I knock once,twice, thrice but your not responding so I entered your room"

"I'll just take a bath" she said. "Mauna kanang kumain baka matagalan pa ako"

I nodded before going out. I waited her for a couple of minutes and she's right mukhang matatagalan ata siya so I decided to start eating dahil mukhang gutom na ang mga bulate sa tyan ko.

Marie went out of her room nun malapit na ako matapos so binagalan ko ang pagkain ko para masabayan ko siya, dumagdag pa nga ako ng rice. After eating she volunteered that she will wash the dishes cause I'm the one who cook for out dinner. Okay lang naman sakin yun kaso sabi niya siya nalang daw so I went inside my room and brush my teeth.

I was about to close my eyes when my phone beep. I reach my phone and look who's messaging.

From: Love<3

I just woke up.

I replied to him.

To: Love<3

hey! it's okay. I'm going to sleep now

He replied 'goodnight' and send him my goodnight too after that I turned off my alarm on my phone before dozing off to sleep.

I wokep up around 11 am because I turned off my alarm kagabi para hindi nadisturbo yung beauty rest ko since sabado naman so I had a long sweet sleep.

I stood up, stretching my arms. I went to the restroom to take a bath and change my clother to an oversized and a black maong short. I blow dry my hair and applied some powder on my face. I went outside and saw Marie watching Netflix on the couch.

"Good morning Señorita Verdana" she said.
"Masarap ata tulog mo Señorita?" pang-aasar niya sakin.

"Where's my breakfast or let's say lunch" I said. She just glared at me. "Joke lang"

"Initin mo nalang yung food na nasa table" she said. So I followed her and eat. I washed the dishes and brush my teeth and went to the couch to join her watching movies. Inantay ko pa matapos yung pinapanood niya para ako naman pumili. We choose a movie na all about love triangle, at the end, we end up both crying because the girl died. Galit pa si Marie sa kontrabida na babae dahil siya naging rason dahilan para mamatay yung bida.

"Ano ba naman yan" I said chuckling while wiping my tears using the back of my hand. " Nakakairita yung babaeng bumangga sa kanya"

"Don't watch romantic movies again Isla, look you just made me cry, fuck you" she said, wiping her tears also. I just laughed.

"Ano gusto mo panoorin natin? yung mga action movies ganon? yung mga superheroes ganon?" I said. Laughing again. She was so cute on her face. Ram would be so lucky to have her and I bet she's lucky to have Ram too.

"Ano mas dadamihan natin? hotdog o bacon?" she ask me while showing me a pack of bacon and a hotdog.

"2 packs for bacon and one for hotdog" I said pushing the cart. She just nodded.

We need to buy groceries since ubos na yung stock namin sa condo. Half-half kami sa groceries pati narin sa mga bills. May ipon pa naman ako. May perang iniwan sila Mama sakin pero kahit kailan di ko pa nagagalaw yung, siguro gagalawin ko nalang yun kung kailangan ko na talaga ng pera but sa ngayon, I have my savings so ito nalang gagamitin ko.

Marie picked six cans of beer and put it on the cart dahil baka daw may gustong uminom saming dalawa. I picked a lot of junkfoods incase kung manonood kami ng movies. Bumili rin kami ng mga essentials for ourselves like shampoo, soap, etc.

We went to the cashier and pay the bill. As I said we pay it half-half at ang sukli dun, ilalagay namin sa piggy bank namin.

Nagpakasunduan namin ni Marie na everytime we have coins we will put it on the piggy bank. Medyo mabigat-bigat narin yun.

I carry one plastic bag and for her too. She put it on the back of her car and drive us to the condo. Medyo nahirapan pa ako dahil mabigat yung sakin but I managed myself to carry it all along up to the door of our condo.

We arranged our groceries after that I took a shower and went to sleep, medyo gutom ako but I choose to sleep dahil pagod na ako.

I woke up around 4 pm, I stretch myself when my phone beep. I look at it and read the message.

From: Love<3

Mom wants to see you. prepare yourself, I'll pick u 5 pm.

"Oh my gosh" I covered my mouth because of what I've read. What if his Mom won't like me for her son? what if she won't treat me nice because she don't like me? what if ipapahiya niya ako sa harap ni Colt? what if masama ugali niya?

I was dressing myself up when I was thinking like that. I just wore a black long sleeve turtle neck paired with mom jeans and black block heels. I just apply a minimal ampunt of make up and sprayed my perfume, I just bring a small black pouch since wallet at phone lang naman ang dala ko. I practice what to say when I face his Mom.

"Good evening Tit- no not tita baka di siya gustong tawagin ko siyang ganon" I said to myself.

"Hi po, I'm Isla, I'm your sons girlfriend- my God over naman kung ganon, baka akalain niyang excited ako masyado"

I heard a knock on the door, I open it and I saw Marie.

"I'm going with Ram tonight" she said. "I'll be home late" I nodded as a response, she look at me and suddenly notice what I wear.

"San punta mo?" she ask. "Ah- date kayo ni-" I cut her out.

"His Mom wants to meet me" I said, looking down because I was shy.
