Project: Make Him Fall (Completed)

Chapter 27: "Naubos mo yata ang amoy ko."

Waking up early isn’t really my thing but today is really odd for me kasi maaga akong nagising. Usually it’s Mark who wakes me up every morning then I’ll prepare breakfast for us.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto not expecting Mark to be awake since sobrang aga pa and it’s 7am, I know he wakes up around 8.

I stopped on my track when I saw Mark sitting on the sofa with his phone in his hand. So now he is texting early in the morning.

“Good morning!” I greeted.

Napalingon siya sa akin at mukhang gulat pa siya na makita ako. Napakunot ang noo niya, “You’re early.”

I just shrugged and proceed to the living room. I popped myself beside him at sinilip ko pa kung ano ang ginagawa niya and looks likeMark had been Facebook-ing all morning kaya ang aga niya. Why?

“Are you busy?” I asked.

No answer.

“Aren’t you hungry? What do you want to eat?”

“Ikaw bahala.” Tipid niyang sagot.

What’s with this guy!

“Mark I want to go out!”

Again no answer.

By this time nararamdaman ko nang nagtutubig ang mata ko at nagiging blurry na ang paningin ko. I tried to control them pero ayaw sumunod ng mga luha ko.

Nagpakawala ako ng isang hikbi tsaka lang niya ako nilingon.

“Hey what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Tanong ni Mark habang hinahagod ang likod ko. His voice full of concern.

At ngayon lang niya nilapag ang phone niya.

Lalo lang akong naiyak knowing na concern siya sa akin. I don’t know pero ang emotional ko lang.

“Shh, stop crying.”

Second attempt.

Maya maya tumigilna ako sa pagiyak ko kaya lang nung tinanong niya ako ulit ay naiiyak nanaman ako.

Narinig ko ang iilang mura galing sa kanya at lumapit para hawakan ang kamay ko. “Tell me what’s wrong.”

“Hindi mo ko pinapansin. Kala ko galit ka sa akin, kala ko ayaw mo na sa akin.” Tuloy tuloy kong sabi. Nanlaki ang mata niya pero hindi siya umimik.

“What? That is ridiculous!“

“Tsaka,”
