Chapter 05

I cooked bacon, eggs, and also toast some bread for our breakfast. It was already nine in the morning but Lucas was still inside his room. Siguro ay galit pa rin dahil as halik na iginawad ko sa kaniya kanina. Umupo na ako at nagsimula ng kumain, hindi ko na siya hinintay dahil mukhang wala naman siyang balak na sabayan ako.

Nasanay na ako sa ganitong eksena noon hanggang ngayon. Ang kumain ng mag-isa sa isang mahabang mesa. Maghihintay sa wala, kahit na handa na ang lahat sa hapag. My parents weren't always in our house before when I was young. My brother Azul and Manang Hilda were the only people that left behind me. But still, it seems lonely. It feels empty... Just like now.

"Lock the door when you leave." Napatingin ako sa likuran ko ng marinig ko si Lucas. Naka-business attire na siya ngayon at handa ng umalis.
