Hide at the room. Pretend no one’s inside. No! Cannot be. The child will make a sound. We’ll pretend we’ll sleeping. No time now. The door will open any moment! What’s the problem? Just face them head on! Open the door and welcome the guests.
Come inside! Welcome—
Yes, you may hang your coats there—
It’s okay, I will just clean it up later—
No really, kindly just make yourself comfortable.
Yes, thank you. I will just make you coffee. Creamy latte? Okay, it’s the only thing available. Ah, no. It’s double latte.
Haha! I was trying to evade you and I would have hidden in our room if not for my child who probably will give me away if she cries or makes any sound.
Yes! I’m good. It’s just that I’m a little out of reason.
Well, it’s still a struggle. I just do what I do.
Wow! So you’re having your doctorate? Nice one. But me, I won’t ever enroll again after my program is over. I don’t see the relevance to my career path. I’m already good finishing master’s. Also, I am tired with all these although I may just be saying this right now because yes, I love the academe. Maybe right after grad, I will consider enrolling again. But who knows, maybe I won’t be able to graduate this one. Just real thinking. Knowing myself, I am capable of discontinuing yet again. But out of respect to all those who believed in me and extended their help, I will continue. It’s foolishness not to continue.
I agree with you. No. Ah, yes. Finals is approaching. I hope I will be able to make it. I didn’t know this is the trend. Well, I knew but I forgot. Research in every subject. Though if I were single, I would’ve enjoyed not doing the research and writing more blogs. I mean, I would’ve been prompter in doing what would be required of me.
Hahaha! Who knew you’d be giving me a home visit. I would have run if I knew. Actually I should’ve gone to my siblings uphill and didn’t come back till you were gone.
Haha! Yes, yes, I will do that so don’t ever do home visit again. You won’t be welcome again. I mean, you’re welcome but with other agenda and not this. Haha, okay okay.
Really? Oh… So we’re similar. Just that it took me longer to realize what I should.
Okay, I will listen to what you’ll say…
Hmmm… I will reflect. I will try to come up with my answer. I hope it will not take long. But really, forgive me but I’ve made up my mind. Surely, you won’t force me into something? We’ve got different beliefs in the end… I hope you be understanding enough.
Thank you also for taking the pain to come here—
Don’t forget your coats—
It’s there! Careful!
I will contact you the soonest possible time!
Okay, bye. Have a safe way. Just wait for my message.
What are you smiling for? Well, it’s still genuine. No matter what the circumstances, having others in our home is still a pleasure. We’re like this as described in books… hospitable. True but what about the assignment given to us? Then we’ll just do it. There you go again. You are just like… not sure. I can’t think of any analogy.
But seriously, stop trying to run. Stand and speak your mind clearly. It’s not helping us at all dear self. Noticed it? You’re thinking more of running than accomplishing your requirements. I know I know dear self. Don’t argue with me any longer. You can’t blame me. It’s them who should change their ways. They shouldn’t be intervening unnecessarily. Aren’t they getting tired? But you know full well they’re obeying orders from their superiors. Even though. That’s not a valid excuse. They can always report back the real situation. As if! Look at you! Not facing your real situation. So what’s our real situation? You know best. Do your reflection now and be sure to keep yourself clear not as mud but as new water.
Hi! Welcome to my monologue! Only one is speaking here. Either her thoughts or things said to whom she’s speaking with. She’s talking to herself as if there is two or three of her. Hope you didn’t get annoyed by the flow!
Thanks for reading! I’ll have to give a clearer flow next time that I make something like this.
Till next time. Don’t run!
