Twenty One Days (COMPLETED)

DAY 21

It was the day na aalis na ako sa inuupahan ko.

Three weeks were enough for me to have a well and enjoyable staycation.

Aalis rin naman ako by the next week at babalik na ako sa California.

I got some emails from my boss, and I also got messages from my colleagues.

Kinukumusta rin naman nila ako tsaka, nag a-update rin sila sa mga ganap ng kanilang buhay.

Groupchat ka pa.

It was a day after when my heart got broken.

But I didn't think about it.

Hinayaan ko nalang.

5AM

Early in the morning, I thought of getting some fresh air beside the beach.

I was sitting on the sand wearing a jacket, looking at the sunrise, with Pochi sitting beside me too.

And it was a cold morning.

I thought of letting my thoughts go in a safe and sound feeling before leaving the place.

The tides in the sea were in low waters and the waves kept on coming back to the shore.

I also noticed that Pochi was a little bit down and he was too clingy to me.
He kept on laying his head on my lap.

I guess the little ones in our life are the quick ones to sense our emotions, even though they don't have the ability to communicate.

They can just feel it.

Pagkatapos kong magpahangin sa may dagat kasama si Pochi, niligo ko na rin siya.

Pero this time, I did it only with myself.

The last time na pinaligo ko si Pochi, he kept wagging his tail because he was very happy.

But this time, he didn't wag a single move of his tail.

I was already worried with what he was feeling.

Kaya kinausap ko siya.

"Pochi, what's wrong? What is making you sad?" I asked him, habang sinasabonan ko siya.

And then he gave me a whimpering sound.

"Mommy is okay. Okay? There's nothing to worry about. If you are looking for Daddy... I know he's also doing okay. Daddy will be back soon. I know Daddy will go back for you." sabi ko kay Pochi.

He still gave me a whimpering sound.

Kaya niyakap ko nalang siya kahit mababasa ako.

I had no one else to talk to in the place but only Pochi. He's the only one that I had and he's the only one that have kept me from moving on.

He reminds me of someone that I loved, and that's why I loved him more than I loved that 'someone'

He is my haven.

7AM

Na-impake ko na lahat ng mga gamit ko, nakabihis na ako and I was already ready to go.

Kaya pumunta muna ako sa reception para mag check-out.

Pagdating ko sa reception, si Ronjie yung nakasalubong ko na staff para makapagcheck-out, at siya na rin ang tumulong sa'kin.
