Chapter 8
"Hey. Do you need something?" aniya nang pagbuksan niya ako ng pinto ng kwarto niya.
"Ah..." bumaba ang tingin ko sa braso niya na may bandage na ngayon. He was hurt because of me.
"Please let me make it up to you." bahagya akong yumuko sa harap niya at nang mag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya ay kabadong sinalubong ko ang titig niya sa akin.
"Please go out out with me!" napapapikit ako sa hiya sa sinabi ko.
Nang hindi siya sumagot ay nagdilat ako ng mga mata at sumulyap sa kaniya.
He is just standing there, mouth gaping, eyes blinking.
"What did you just say?" aniya. Umayos siya ng pagkakatayo at napakamot sa batok.
"Go out with me. I'd like to make it up to you. You were hurt because of me the other day. And I really apologize for it." Panimula ko.
"Tinanong ko kung anong puwede kong gawin para makabawi sa ginawa mong pagligtas sa akin. Your sister told me to take you to lunch or dinner. She also told me what your favorite dish is and how to ask you to go out with me." hinihingal na paliwanag ko. Sobrang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko.
"M-my sister?" He inquired, surprised.
Tumango ako.
"Please go out with me." I asked, shyly.
He bit his bottom lips before murmuring something then I heard him curse.
"Are you that naive in that department?" kunot-noo niyang tanong sa akin.
"Huh?"
"Nevermind." sunod-sunod siyang napailing.
"You don't have to make it up to me because it's my job, but if I say that, I'll be hypocrite because I...want to go out with you as well."
"Eh?"
"Do you do the same thing to other guys?" he asked then he looks away.
"Huh?"
"Do you ask them to go out with you too when you want to make it up to them, huh?" paglilinaw niya.
"H-Hindi. I don't really know how to treat boys if it's not about work related. Outside my work I...I don't know how to handle boys who show affection towards me. Or those who show their interest in me and those who confessed their feelings." pag-amin ko.
"You never had a boyfriend before?" he asked, blinking.
Umiling ako bilang sagot.
"Okay." tumango siya.
"I'll just change my clothes and we'll go somewhere."
"S-sige. Hihin—" napatili ako ng bigla niya akong hilahin papasok sa kwarto niya.
Dinala niya ako at pinaupo sa kama niya.
"Puwede naman ako sa labas maghintay." suhestyon ko.
"Nope. Just stay there. I'll be quick I promise." pagkatapos nagtungo na siya sa banyo.
"Nevaeh?" sumilip siya sa pinto ng banyo.
"H-Ha?" napaayos ako ng pagkakaupo.
"Don't think of leaving this room or else...I'll be mad at you." then he shut the door.
Napapabuntong hininga na lang akong napailing.
What was he thinking?
After a minutes and so he went out of the bathroom with just a towel hanging on his waist. Napapalunok akong nag-iwas ng tingin sa kaniya.
