"I've changed the sheets for you, may pajamas na rin dun. Use mine for now, Okay?"
Hindi ko muna siya nilapitan kasi napansin ko kaninang ilag siya sakin. Kaya nilapag ko muna yung mga pillow sa may sofa malayo sa kanya.
"San ka matutulog?"
"Dito sa living room muna. Ayusin ko nalang kabilang room bukas para dun ka nalang the next night. I-I mean, kung gusto mo mag stay dito ng mas mahaba."
I think this is the first time I've seen him smile ever since his breakdown kanina. Parang nabunutan naman ako ng tinik dun.
"Thank you." Sabi nito na siyang nagpangiti rin sakin. "But I'm okay here. Dun ka na lang sa kwarto mo."
"No buts, sira aircon dito sa living room kaya dun ka na sa kwarto."
"Tignan mo, sira pala. Eh pano ka matutulog e ang init?"
Natahimik ako sa tanong nito. Oonga pala no. Wala rin akong electric fan dito.
"Okay lang, buksan mo nalang pintuan para lumabas yung lamig papunta sakin."
Napatawa siya sa sinabi ko.
Finally. Kahit sobrsng mugto ng mata niya, still his smile looked beautiful, and this time it's genuine.
Nakipag-argue pa siya sakin, but in the end napapayag ko siyang humiga na sa kama ko, while I'm in the living room.
I woke up from my slumber ng makaramdam ng pagkaihi. After I emptied my bladder ay babalik na ako sana sa living room pero natigil ako sa paglalakad ng makaramdam ng ingay mula sa kwarto.
The door was slightly opened kasi nga pinalabas namin yung lamig.
"no... please."
i winced when I heard that. Is he awake? Or is he having a nightmare?
"dad... no..."
nanlaki ang mata ko sa narinig. the next thing I heard where his cries, and a series of nos. that's why I hurried to the bed to wake him up.
