A week had passed since that hellish date happened. A week had passed since I last saw Fire.
I bought a bouquet of purple hyacinths. This flower means asking for forgiveness. I want to apologize for dragging her in such perilous situation.
I was about to knock on her door when Aling Maria, one of her neighbors told me, "Son, Fire isn't there. He left a few days ago." She is sweeping her backyard full of dry leaves.
"Ahh, is that so? I'll be right back." I smiled at her.
"Have you been locked up for a week? Your skin is so pale, son! Oh my, you should probably go outside. It's bad for the body not to be exposed!" Iiling-iling pa na sabi ni Aling Maria.
"That's why. I have so much work to do." I glanced at my wristwatch, it's 5:30 in the morning.
