START
I looked back and they were sitting side by side, leaning against the trunks, hands clasped
across knees. Seemingly, but a man's height above the tops of the steep banks of the Waig,
hung the stars. But in the deep gorge the shadows had fallen heavily, and even the white of
Labang's coat was merely a dim, grayish blur.

Crickets chirped from their homes in the cracks in the banks. The thick, unpleasant smell of
dangla bushes and cooling sun-heated earth mingled with the clean, sharp scent of arrais roots
exposed to the night air and of the hay inside the cart.

"Look, Noel, yonder is our star!" Deep surprise and gladness were in her voice. Very low in the
west, almost touching the ragged edge of the bank, was the star, the biggest and brightest in
the sky.

"I have been looking at it," my brother Leon said. "Do you remember how I would tell you that
when you want to see stars you must come to Nagrebcan?"

"Yes, Noel," she said. "Look at it," she murmured, half to herself. "It is so many times bigger
and brighter than it was at Ermita beach."

"The air here is clean, free of dust and smoke."

"So it is, Noel," she said, drawing a long breath.

"Making fun of me, Maria?"

She laughed then and they laughed together and she took my brother Leon's hand and put it
against her face.

I stopped Labang, climbed down, and lighted the lantern that hung from the cart between
the wheels.

"Good boy, Baldo," my brother Leon said as I climbed back into the cart, and my heart
sang.

Now the shadows took fright and did not crowd so near. Clumps of andadasi and arrais
flashed into view and quickly disappeared as we passed by. Ahead, the elongated shadow of
Labang bobbled up and down and swayed drunkenly from side to side, for the lantern
rocked jerkily with the cart.

"Have we far to go yet, Noel?" she asked.

"Ask Baldo," my brother Leon said, "We have been neglecting him."

"I am asking you, Baldo," she said.

Without looking back, I answered, picking my words slowly:

"Soon we will get out of the Waig and pass into the fields. After the fields is home---
Manang."

"So near already."

I did not say anything more because I did not know what to make of the tone of her voice as
she said her last words.

"You already told me that story," said Shanice. She looked genuinely disappointed.
I laughed awkwardly. "Sorry," I said, "I didn't mean to bore you with a rerun." I tried
to laugh it off but she just wouldn't let it go. "Don't you even consider your listener
before you tell a story?" she inquired acerbically. This caught me off guard. I
replied, "I'm just trying to keep you entertained, Shanice." I pleaded. She smacked
me down with another sharp comment, "Yeah, well, you should try harder."

The sun was rising. Ivan saw the light piercing through the drawn curtains in his
bedroom and knew that he would have to get up soon. He hadn’t been sleeping for
the last hour. He had been thinking about the future. He nudged his wife Nadia.
Nadia came down slowly. She smiled, still thinking about the pleasant dream that
she had been having, until she looked at Ivan’s face. She could tell that something
was wrong.

Jeremiah squinted from the sun. He was thinking about the game. They could have
won. He could have won the game for them. All he needed to do was catch the
ball, but he didn't. He dropped it. His coach talked to him. "Jeremiah, we had a
great season. Nobody's perfect. Look at me. Haha," he said. Jeremiah smiled at
the coach, but he couldn't forgive himself so easily.

I was respiring when I’ve reached home from the barangay hall. It was like I came from a
competition chasing every second of the race. I hang my jacket which, I could remember, was given
by Kapitan Ambo in the recent election. I then removed my surgical mask, which enveloping warm
irritated my nose since I wore it.

I am lucky today. Had I not found this face mask on the road on my to the barangay, 1,000 of this
cash assistance given by Kapitan could have been paid for a fine of not wearing a mask.

I immediately went to the kitchen to inform Elena of the cash grant we received from the Social
Amelioration Program (SAP).
