Thursday is my favored day. And today is even more special. After hitting some balls with mild temperatures and on red clay, I rush home. For what? Then it hit me. I am so alone. My neighbors are not there. My kid is not here. My husband is away.
So I prepare my second breakfast of rice and some pork cooked in fresh tomatoes. I sit on the terrace looking at the castle and couldn’t just believe my luck. Then I sip my coffee and I think of Pedrito’s in Dagupan City. It is where we always eat breakfast after grueling tennis games on Lyceum’s courts. Oh how I devoured those times. Thinking of the chores I have to do today, I said why not jump into the pool? I get my bikini, dip in the pool, float, closed my eyes and enjoyed silence. It feels like I own Koliba.
The sun is friendly today, not too hot and the wind is also an ally. I sunbath my already tanned skin but what the heck. Sunbath and sleep . I go into the pool again and decided, today is actually a very lucky day.
Happy Thursday!
