THE BAD HABIT (BISAYA)

09

Z.

Nakatug ko after I and Hickey had a wild morning seggs in bed.

Nag cuddle mi, and that's the first time we cuddle after sex maong nakatug ko.

Lamia man diay sa paminaw. Nganong karon raman namo ni buhata?

‘Well Zayd that's what you put on the contract’ tubag sa akong utok.

Nakamata nalang ko nga wala nay Hickey sa akong tapad. I stood up and wear only a boxer short.

“Where's Hickey?” I asked out of all the question inside my mind.

I went out of her room to check where she is. But I found no one.

Naabot nalang kos kitchen pero wa koy Hickey nakita. Akoang gi duol ang fridge para mokuha ug cold water, sakto sad nga nakakita kog sticky note.

Probably from Hickey.

Love,
I'm busy today. Naa koy asikasohon and I decided not to tell you nalang sa. If you ever read this, pag breakfast na. I'll come home later. Xoxo — Kissmark.

Nakatawa kos part nga gibutang niya iyang ngalan but in different word. Kissmark ampt.

Nagpang lingo nalang ko. Such a cutie.

I didn't mind the message written on the note. My whole damn attention was fixated on the first word.

“Love..” I read it loud.

Amputek. Eheee

Gi kilig akong tibuok system.

Nagkatawa kong nanglingo trying to hide a smile.

Like what she said, nag breakfast ko. I still couldn't move on sa iyang note.

“Hays love.” sulti nasad nako nga dako kaayong ngisi while gapang hugas.

Wa koy pake kung mura nakog tanga diria. Basta suliton sa nako iyang pag tawag sa akoag love.

Kirig ang atay Zayd?

The time moved so fast and now it's already 3 pm. Wala pa si Hickey and early pa for dinner but I already decided to cook na.

I learned how to cook sukad atong ako nalang isa. I was all alone that I learned everything by teaching my self. Alone.

Now it's a good thing I know how to cook. I could cook Hickey's favorite dish always.

While I'm busy cooking, naay nag tikaw tikaw sa gawas. I checked my wrist watch ug ala singko nas hapon.

The next thing I heard is a familiar laugh.

Hickey's home.

Plano nakong sugaton s'ya so nigawas kos kitchen ug ni atubang sa pultahan. Gahuwat ko nga mo abli.

It did open and I instantly greet her,

“Baby, I cook-

I stopped talking pagka kita ni Hickey. She's smiling wide while pasulod sa iyang apartment.

But that's not what matters here. Ang akoang gi problema kay nganong kauban ni niyang tawhana.

Dwight saw me. “Oh you're here diay?” he asked.

Wala paman ko nakatubag, nitingog na si Hickey.

“Nag luto ka?” I saw happiness visible in her eyes. “Aww that's my favorite!” excited niyang sulti human guro niya nasimhotan ang amoy nga gikan sa kitchen.
