The Werewolf Princess' Lover (Completed)

Kabanata 32

Later

"Why your voice sounds like her?"

The moment Silas said that, I knew from the start who he's talking about...Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko.

We just kept on staring at each other's eyes...Maya-maya ay unti-unting pumipikit ang mga mata ni Silas, he fell asleep again. Hinawakan ko ang kamay nyang nasa pisngi ko at dahan-dahan itong ibinaba.

Gusto ko nang bitiwan ang kamay nya pero hindi ko magawa. I want to feel his warm hand more... I want him to touch me more... Pero hindi pwede.

I cried silently while holding Silas' hand. Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog narin ako habang hawak-hawak ang kamay nya...mabuti nalang at naramdaman ko kaagad na gumalaw sya kaya mabilis kong binitiwan ang kamay nya at naupo ng maayos.

He really did woke up.

"You're awake, Silas. Gutom ka na? Gusto mo nang kumain? Mataas parin ba ang lagnat mo..." Sunod-sunod kong tanong sakanya.

I didn't noticed that my hand is already on his forehead, checking if his fever went down or got worse...

I quickly removed my hand from his forehead when I realized what I did. Pareho kaming nabigla sa ginawa ko. Nakatitig lang sa akin si Silas kaya kaagad akong napayuko.

"S-sorry po, s-sir..." I whispered just enough for him to hear it.

"I'm fine, Dalena...Where's Howl?" Silas asked.

I slowly looked up to him, again. "Si aling Linda muna ang kasama nya..."

Silas didn't say anything.

"Uh, s-sandali lang po, t-tatawagin ko lang si aling Linda p-para sya na ang m-magbantay sayo..."

I'm Howl's babysitter, and I know that it's not in my responsibility to take of Silas too. Si Howl lang dapat ang inaalagan ko dahil iyon naman talaga ang trabaho ko...pero hindi ko mapigilang hindi magaalala sa ama ng anak ko.

Tatayo na sana ako para tawagin si aling Linda, but Silas' stopped me by holding my wrist.

Sabay kaming napatingin sa kamay nyang nakahawak sa palapulsuhan ko...He quickly took his hand off when he realized what he just did.

"I-I'm sorry..." He said. "But you don't need to call for aling Linda, just stay here..."

Nagtaka ako dahil sa sinabi nya. "Po?"

"You got exposed on my fever... Y-you shouldn't go near Howl until you took a shower." He explained.

I nodded. "O-okay po, sir."

Pareho kaming natahimik saglit, hanggang sa naisipan kong magsalita.

"G-gusto nyo na po bang kumain? N-nagluto si aling Linda ng lugaw...o m-may iba po kayong gustong kainin? Ipagluluto ko po kayo, s-sir..."

May ininjection ang doctor sakanya kanina kaya ayos lang daw na hindi pa sya kumakain at uminom ng gamot para sa lagnat, kapag nagising ay pwede nya na daw itong gawin.

"You can cook?" Silas asked.

Parang hindi sya makapaniwala sa sinabi kong ipagluluto ko sya.
