Chapter 9

Lyle's PoV

I sneaked into her room. She's sleeping deeply. She's snoring very hard. Ang likot niyang matulog. She almost fell because of being stubborn in sleeping. Kahit sa pagtulog ang likot niya.

I saw her injury. I can feel the pain.

"Hmmm" she groaned

"Wake up, I cooked you breakfast," I said as she stares at me, intently.

"Help," she said, emotionlessly

I help her get up. She can't get up for she has a lot of bandages. Her legs have bruises.

"Aray!Slowly.SLOW-LY" she yells.

"Sorry"

Last night she didn't feel the pain.

"Araa~aa~ay.I can't walk, Lyle. Help me! Huuu~huuu" she is crying. She cries whenever she wants.

"Lyleeeee" she is now sobbing.

"Why are you crying? Is it my fault?"

"If you didn't invite me to that stupid date!This!Wouldn't!Happened!Ah fucked!" Now she's angry. I carry her downstairs. She can't get up on her own. Pilay.

"You didn't sleep?" I asked

"Who the hell sleeps in the middle of the night if you're injured as fucked!?"

"Why are you always shouting? You're sobbing and shouting. I can still hear you, ano ba?" I argued. Okay, I will let this happen. Scream whenever she wants, I don't care. Hindi naman ako mahihirapan.

I already put her in the dining chair. I gave her her meds because she didn't take it last night. Kaya naman pala sumasakit mga sugat niya. Papakainin ko pa siya bago niya iinomin.

"You can manage to eat right?"

"Sa tingin mo?" She asked me sarcastically.

Malakas talaga yung impact sa pagkabunggo niya kagabi. May pasa and mga sugat. Ang moody niya.

Nagkokonsumisyon ako sa babaeng 'to.Pasalamat siya mahal ko siya.

"Say aah"

"I can eat with myself. Hindi ako pilay" she refused.

"Don't be such a brat" sabi ko.She opened her mouth Kasi wala naman siyang choice.

"You cooked?" She asked, I nodded "Hindi masarap" she's too honest,argh! I'm trying to imitate her favorite dish. Can't she see the struggle? Mahirap naman Talaga itong niluto ko.

"Pancit bihon,talaga?Really, Lyle?" She asked sarcastically "Tapos, there are potatoes? And squash? Sa PANCIT BIHON?" she asked again.

"What? It's my dish, no one can stop me from putting some unnecessary veggies" I maintained protective.

"Menudo sana niluto mo" she murmured.

"Can you just eat!" Inis na sabi ko.

"If you're expecting me to eat that,No way!Kakain nalang ako ng kanin at powdered milk"

I stopped and put the plate in the sink. Kinain ko yung natirang ulam.Sayang naman.It's not that yummy. She can't appreciate my efforts.

I already gave her the rice and powdered milk scattered on the cooked rice.

"But I appreciate your effort"

Did I hear it right?Mahina yung sabi pero tama ba pandinig ko?

Did I?

I can't stop but smile. She can read minds. Haha.

"But it's not yummy" she added.

"Kahit na. Hahaha"
