We were eating in a restaurant near the hotel and Grayson is surprisingly . . . quiet. His whole focus is on the food and he wasn't looking at me if it's not necessary.
I guess that this is because of what he heard kanina noong kausap ko si Enzo.
"Grayson . . ." I called him nervously as he continued eating.
"Hmm?" he responded. His eyes are still on his plate.
"Are you angry?" I asked.
My hands started shaking a little while holding the spoon and fork. I held it tightly para hindi gaanong mahalata at para mapakalma ang sarili kahit konti.
"Why would I?" He chuckled.
Sumimangot ako bago tuluyang ibinaba ang spoon and fork. "You're quiet. I know you're angry."
Nag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin bago nag-iwas ng tingin at nagbuntonghininga. Ilang sandali lang, ibinalik niya na ang tingin sa akin. "I just don't like what I heard a while ago. I'm sorry for acting this way kanina."
Nagbuntonghininga ako bago sumagot. "I'm sorry. Hindi . . . hindi naman tinanggap ni Enzo."
Napakunot-noo siya. "What?"
"yung sinabi ko kanina na uuwi ako ng Manila kung gusto ni Enzo. Hindi ba 'yun yung sinasabi mo?" Bahagyang umawang ang bibig niya pero mabilis niya rin binawi. "Hindi naman niya tinanggap, eh. Nandito pa rin naman ako."
Bahagya siyang tumawa bago uminom ng tubig. "That's not what I mean." He chuckled again. "But it's not important anymore."
"I'm really sorry."
Tumango siya saka itinuloy na ang pagkain. "It's alright. Kumain ka na."
Tumango ako bago kinuha na ulit ang spoon and fork. Tahimik pa rin siya and for some reasons, it made me feel uneasy. I don't like this feeling whenever I am with him. It's not comforting.
In the end, tinapos ko na lang din ang pagkain ko dahil ayaw niya talaga makipag-usap sa akin the usual way o baka wala siyang gana. Hindi ko maiwasang malungkot.
Hay, hindi talaga p'wedeng puro saya lang sa isang araw. There will be times that you'll feel sad because of some reasons and we can't really avoid it. I may not want this but it's all my fault. Sana tinapos ko na muna ang pakikipag-usap kay Enzo bago ko pinapasok si Grayson.
But really, what I think is I shouldn't have told Enzo about that. After all . . . it was a half-baked proposal. I don't want to go home yet . . . not now that I am starting to enjoy this whole trip.
Pagkatapos kumain, inihatid na ulit ako ni Grayson sa room ko. If this is a normal night, he would ask me to walk around para bumaba ang kinain namin. This one thing really confirmed that he's upset with me.
