Novel & Cerita I Slept

Pumikit ako at pinilit na bumalik sa pagtulog ngunit hindi naman ako dalawin ng antok. Napatingala ako sa night stand nang marinig ko ang pagtunog ng aking cellphone. Pumihit ako mula sa pagkakahiga at dumapa para hilahin ang aparato mula doon. Iverson: We need to talk. I bit my bottom lip and heave a deep of sighed.

Seriously? It was a moment of silence for the both of us. So silent that it makes me feel sleepy. Silence makes me sleepy. I think since the day I got home from the hospital, in that 3 days, I spent 56 hours sleeping. I was just doing random stuffs when I'm awake. And when I get bored, I sleep again. It's fun sleeping tho. "Ugh, crap. I'm sleepy already. Hey, I'm gonna sleep here. Don't rape me please. I'm still a virgin. Bata pa po ako." WHAT THE HECK!?

She's sleeping peacefully amidst the noise I made from falling off her bed. At mas lalo lang nangunot ang noo ko nang marealize kung ano ang nangyari. Nakatulog ako kanina habang pinagmamasdan siya. And what's amazing about that, was that, I didn't took any pill before going to sleep. Nakatulog lang ako ng basta-basta and I even dreamed about something.

Kahit hindi pa ako inaantok ay in-off ko na lang ang laptop ko and just went to bed. Sir Troy, mas lalo akong hindi makakatulog sa 'yo!!!

Pero sa tuwing marami siyang ginagawa ay nakakalimutan niyang mahalaga rin ako. I dropped my back on the bed until I fell asleep again. Sakit na lang ang nagpapatulog sa'kin. Ganito na ako noon, at ganito na naman ako ngayon. Sleeping equates to an escape. Mahimbing akong natutulog nang maalimpungatan. A heavy object was in my palm. Nararamdaman ko iyon, pero nagtataka ako dahil mainit ito kahit pa bukas naman ang aircon ko.

Isa pa, naiinitan ako sa suot kong pantalon at denim jacket. Napangiti ako nang makapasok ako ng kwarto. I saw my son sleeping peacefully, lips slightly parted and his left foot fell on the side of the bed. Nilapitan ko ito at inayos ang kanyang pagkakahiga. I kissed his forehead and nose before I went towards my closet to change my outfit.

I mumbled to myself before I fell into a deep slumber. ___________

Sa guestroom ako natulog habang iniisip ang nangyari buong araw. With a heavy heart . . . I sleep.

August's POV I didn't know how was I able to sleep last night. Last night was a nightmare. We did not do anything but just sit and waited to those ghost fade away and their screeching scream is nerve wrecking. I bet, I already have another set of bags under my eyes.

Nahiga ako sa kama at natulog. I WAS wide awake. Nagising ako ng maaga and I was like having a hungover dahil sa hindi ako nakatulog ng maayos kagabi. I look at Ashley, she's still sleeping. Pumasok ako ulit sa kuwarto namin. Napailing na lang ako dahil sa sobrang pagkadismaya sa nakikita ko.
