I FELT BETTER when I woke up. Wala na sa tabi ko si Astrid at nakababa na ang araw sa labas. Nang tingnan ko ang orasan ay alas-sais na ng gabi. Bumangon ako at kumuha dumiretso sa banyo para maghilamos at mag-toothbrush. I wanted to take a quick shower kaya pinainit ko muna ang banyo at kumuha ng bihisan sa kuwarto.
My phone beeped. Naka-silent mode ’yon at nakita ko si Nanay na tumatawag. Huminga ako nang malalim at saka sinagot ang phone.
“Nay, napatawag po kayo.” I didn’t know whether to be nervous that she called out of the blue. It was Friday night and I didn’t think it was related to work. Maybe she heard from my secretary that I was sick?
“We are going home. Bukas ng umaga ang dating namin. Uuwi na sana kami ngayon but Marga and I are going shopping. May ipapabili ka ba?” tano
