“What the hell! Man! Give me peace! ” Draco shouted from inside.

At four o'clock, he quickly got out of the car and glared at Callisto.

"Peace your ass," Callisto whispered.
I even backed away when it reached my backpack. He also just took Aunty's greetings before stepping out.

“Let’s go. I want to sleep, it’s already late. ” Yawning says West.

My gaze followed as he entered the up and down house. Even at night its color is lit dirty white. We arrived late so I can't tell if the place is nice. Just in front of me is teresa with two flights of stairs up.

“Caloy! Did Manang prepare the room upstairs? ” Callisto asked the greeter.
The man in his faded jeans and old shirt nodded and get the stuffs from Callisto’s hands.

“Yes, Boss. Aling Miling fixed that this morning, ”he replied.

"Okay thank you." Callisto nodded and walked up the stairs.

I followed with a shrug. Aside from the fact that I can't find them West, I know Callisto will tell me where to sleep.

It took only a few steps to the left before stopping to walk. It waited for me first before opening the door.
Now that I can just peek at the opening of the room, drowsiness is visiting me. I addressed him before saying goodbye.

“Thank you. All right, I'm going to sleep, ”I informed him.

I was able to get inside, but it still wouldn't leave so I couldn't close the door. I was about to ask him but he spoke first.

“This is mine. You are in the other room, ”he said without a smile.

To this day I still can't move on from what happened last night. I feel so embarrassed. I didn't even know it was his room!

"You're embarrassing, Celeste!" I'm still shouting.

I dropped my shoulder to face the mirror then banged my head. I am doubtful to go downstairs. I’m just a guest here ‘cause I’m still picking up someone else’s room. I'm too embarrassed. I hope he said right away, I'm not the one who's already in and I'm just going to say.

I was shaken weakly. I didn't sleep well last night and I still couldn't get down. In my extreme stress, I was born with a tigyawat in the back. Thankfully and not in the face but my deep eyes did not hide my lack of sleep.

I even stared at myself, looking drowsy and seemingly running away with red blood. I patted both my cheeks a few times when they blushed.

I took a deep breath before combing my hair over my shoulders and letting it loose. I even shook my white t-shirt and tore my black leggings. I only stopped after hearing a few knocks from the door.

“Hija, are you awake yet? Callisto calls you. We will eat. ”

I heard the old woman's voice so I quickly rearranged my hair and even the one where I slept. I glanced once more in the mirror before finally opening the door.

"Good morning," I said shyly. I even smiled slightly.

She's probably Aling Miling, a little fat. The hair is ponytailed, a bit thin, nice to look at. Wearing a white blouse and black skirt is old -fashioned.

"Good girl, come on, the table is ready and we can eat." She even smiled broadly.

"It's embarrassing, I didn't help fix it." I hesitate to smile.

Even though I was a guest it was still a shame I didn’t help.

Aling Miling turned to me then gave a loose smile before it proceeded to descend. I immediately followed him.
I just don't want them to think I'm important. I was blown away because of that.

"What are you? Callisto is visiting you, Hija. You don't have to help. ” He even grabbed my arm and guided me to their kitchen.

I have a view of the spacious kitchen, with a division of the kitchen and table. There is a long table with ten chairs. In the center are fried eggs, hotdogs, bacon, chicken, and ham. There is also loaf bread and jams.
My stomach boiled spontaneously because of that, fortunately Aling Miling didn't hear. I even looked around, everyone with them at home ate at the same time. There were five women sitting on the other side of the table, three were close to Aling Miling's age and two seemed to be just my age. There was also an old man in front of them atsaka ‘yong Caloy last night.

I regained my gaze after meeting Callisto's critical gaze. It seemed king at the very forefront of the table.
This is not the kind of farmer I thought. Not a man in the capital, but a man out in the sun and sweating on his emaciated body.

Stop right there, Celeste!

“Mornin’, how was your sleep? ” its a serious question that my lips pity.
I was still backing away after seeing Aling Miling and me look at each other, especially me. I just smiled at them twisting before turning to the capital.

Callisto's gaze still remained on me, apparently not intending to let go of following my movements. I can’t even regain my gaze. I felt my stomach churning, not because of hunger.

“Isn’t it obvious? It looks like he didn't sleep, maybe you did something, ”West said impatiently.

I was even more confused by what he said even though it wasn't true. Add to that they all heard. I looked at the table again, West was next to Draco, in line with the five women who were staring at me.

I sneezed and avoided their malicious look, “Huh? I live at home, ”I excused myself before bowing.

I can't say I entered Callisto's room. They may only expand their imaginations.

“All right, Hija. Sit down, ”said Aling Miling.

Aling Miling even guided me to a seat next to the main chair where Callisto was. I even give him with a few sneaky glances before sitting down, afraid that he is looking at me intently.
