Rence We were on our way back to the parking lot when Angela asked me for the car keys and I just looked at her confused. She just sighed before looking at me directly into my eyes, “I’ll drive us back. You should take a rest.” “I can drive. You’re the one who should take a rest.” “I insist. Don’t worry I won’t crash the car with you in it.” She cracked a smile at me and I just shook my head in defeat before handing her the keys. I gave her a smirk and jokingly said, “So you’re saying that you would crash my car if you’re driving it alone?” “It depends on my mood. If you pissed me off when that day comes, I would probably crash it.” “You’re crazy.” “And you’re bossy.” I just laughed at her and went inside the car. It was rush hour when we were driving back to the company. And honestly, the lo fi music that Angela played made me more sleepy. “I told you that you can sleep. It’s a long drive.” “That’s why I need to stay up. I don’t want to feel alone when you’re driving.”

Rence’s background information that I already have a background with? The legibility of the test? Ihinilamos ko ang kamay ko sa mukha ko at huminga nang malalim. I am still shaking and I glanced at Asher who’s still sleeping soundly.  

Rence I stared at my phone and kept refreshing my email a few times, thinking that I just read Angela’s message wrong. But it is clearly stated in the email that she is filing for a three day leave. Hanggang sa makalabas ako ng kwarto ay nakakunot pa rin ang noo ko. “Casimir, ang aga aga, bakit ganyan ang mukha mo?” Napalingon ako sa nagsalita, and I saw my dad sitting by the counter top drinking a cup of coffee. I took a quick glance around my condo and saw his luggage by the door. Looks like he really came. “Dad, it’s so early in the morning. Why are you nagging me?” I grabbed my cup and prepared my tea. If Angela’s not at the office, that only means I have to take my tea now. She will not be t

Angela The box fell out of my hands as I also fell into the ground. My whole body was shaking and I stared at the picture. The little girl from the picture was playing and I can clearly see her face.  “Mommy!” Asher was shaking me and I just looked at him. I can see panic from his eyes but I can’t even let out a single word.  This can’t be. Ashley died years ago and it was confirmed by the hospital.  My tears started to fall and my senses became dull.
