I watch people who pass by on the busy street of Makati. I am sitting comfortably on the couch while enjoying my hot espresso macchiato. It's funny how peaceful the day is. The gloomy clouds dominate the vastness of the sky. The cold breeze of the wind blew violently, making the people shiver. The pine trees outside the cafe dance gracefully as if it is following the rhythm of a song.
I looked at the wristwatch that I am wearing. It's already eight-thirty in the morning, and I am still here waiting for her. I can't help but to crease my brow when I saw her at the entrance of the cafeteria. She anxiously looked around the facility and stopped her gaze at my place.
"You look stressed and you're late, Ate Cheska." Sinuri ko ng tingin ang kaniyang itsura.
Para siyang tumakbo ng matagal dahi
