It’s my father’s birthday today.

I woke up for class and prepared my things. Same, same just like any other days.

I didn’t miss any of my class today. I said to myself that it’s my gift to my father. I went to school not really that early but the usual time and I saw my classmates were already sitting on their favourite places. I, too sat in my chair and waited for our instructor to come.

After that 8:35 class—me, my two other classmates and my other more classmates went to our next room already. They also don’t mind the very short 20-minute break that we had before the next class.

As far as I remember, I haven’t been really that friendly today. The usual and the same scenario were present and there were no hard feelings between any of my classmates and me.

9:55am class came—before our instructor came, I texted my father. It was his birthday and I said, “Da happy birthday! J I love you ” Actually, it was the first time I told my father that I loved him. Well, nothing’s gonna eat me when I told him that right? I mean, he was my father—blood related. My Angelo was my boyfriend—just boyfriend. Wasn’t that unfair to my father when I could tell my boyfriend that I love him but him? Not.

The class ended up. I had no 11 o’ clock class so I texted my Angelo that I’m going straight to my dormitory already and that he should also come if he wants to see me. Well, I need to go home because it’s my father birthday and I wanted to see him happy and greet him personally too.

Half passed 11 o’ clock, my Angelo came up to see me. Unfortunately, Communication students had a seminar that needs attendance and it made me confused on whether to go or not. It was nearly 1 o’ clock when I said I wouldn’t go and instead, I’ll spend my time with my Angelo before I go. After all, we will have a long weekend and could not see each other during those days so I chose to stay.

When my Angelo’s former classmate called, I knew it was something they wanted my Angelo to do. They wanted my Angelo. I had no other choice but to let my Angelo go too. It was 2 o’ clock when they fetched my Angelo and went to somewhere I didn’t really know.

Hah. It was too hard. Hard to see my Angelo walk away from me.

I got my things and left my dormitory. I went home already.

At home, it was a bit different from where I used to be. I dunno, I just feel like something has changed but I rarely see it.

I got my Baba and rushed to our business establishment after I left my bag on the wooden couch. I saw my sisters at home and asked them what they are doing there because they should be helping my parents. So, I asked them to come with me too because I’m starving and I need to eat already.

When we got there, I saw my father and I greeted him a happy birthday and he kissed me on my right cheek. I went inside to see what the menu is but sadly, I was too late. It was stormed by the guests. I asked my sister to finding something else because I really wanted to eat so she did. Luckily, we found one and then ate it.

I walked home again to leave my Baba because he’s really not in the mood now. My aunt was there cooking and asked her why my cats don’t bother her when in a ordinary day they would. She said she had to do something for them to stop. Haha. My poor li’l kitties.

I went back. I went back to help my parents and I also asked my sisters to come with me. They did. At first, it was quite difficult. It was my first time to do that and I can’t do it very fast. But tomorrow, I will be flexible because today’s just the start.

After 1 hour, I went home again. This time, I did not go back because it would be the closing and I have nothing else to do there so I just surfed the internet.

At the same time, I was texting my Angelo and told him it was really hard. As I was so busy, an hour passed again and my father came home. My aunt said she wants to go to her sister’s house and that my father should brought her there. My father said he can’t because he has too many guests and the guests don’t want to leave yet. That one annoyed me. I mean, what was their purpose?  Wasn’t it just to talk and eat? Hell, how thick were their faces to drink until 12 in the midnight?

Back to my aunt.

My father said he can’t and then assigned the task to us. I mean, it was 9 in the evening and we are two females. Me and my sister went back to where they are and told them we are about to leave. I wanted to borrow the car keys. I would drive us there so it would be fast enough to get back. My mother wouldn’t want me to drive. Augh.

And so that’s how we ended up walking.

We got home before it was 10 o’ clock. And I was a bit sleepy. I texted my Angelo and messaged him just anything.

Few more minutes, we went to sleep and I shall call it a day.
