Building The Unsure (Glow-Up Series #2)

03

Silence filled the whole hut. I'm holding the mug in my hand while staring outside. Looks like the rain won't stop any moment which annoys me a bit. I badly want to go home. I badly miss my bed. After a whole afternoon of sleeping in our classroom, I still feel tired, I still feel sleepy. Why does it have to rain this hard?! It's flooding outside! Paano ako makakapaglakad pauwi?

"Miss gusto niyo ng tinapay? May tinapay kami dito." I look at the guy who's meters away from me. He get up from the wooden chair like that is surely handcraft before pulling a bucket under a table. He opened it and showed it to me, a wide smile on his face. 

"Masarap 'to, pramis." He said smiling, he left the bucket open on the table before grabbing a plate and transferring some biscuits on the plate before closing the lid of the bucket. I sat there in silence watching him do all those things with a smile on his face. He held the plate with both his hands and walk towards me, still a smile on his face. What the fuck is wrong with him? 

I moved away from a bit when he stopped in front of me and place the plate on the table next to me, "Favorite ko yung may palaman diyan, miss. Tikman niyo, masarap talaga." He joyfully said which made my lips wince a bit. He's too happy for me. He's too... nice. For a stranger he just met, he's being too nice. If he's like this to every stranger he meet, he'll end up in danger. 

He's looking at me with doe eyes, "Ayaw mo?" He ask in a nice tone. How can I tell it's a nice tone? Cause it's the same tone my little brother use at me. How old is he? He seems childish!

I slowly shake my head, "No," I shortly answered. 

His lips formed a small pout, "O...kay, pero iiwan ko pa rin diyan. Baka sakaling gusto mo tikman. Pramis, hindi mo pagsisihan na kainin 'yan." He said before giving me a smile and walking back towards the chair he was sitting a while ago. That's when I saw him open a notebook and looks like he's doing a schoolwork. 

I took another sip of the coffee made which I surprisingly liked. What's this coffee? The coffee in our house doesn't taste like this. The one in our house taste so bad, except kapag hinahaluan ni Theo ng kung ano-ano, it will end up a bit, just a bit better. But this... what's this coffee. 

I started stirring it with the spoon to see if there's any uncrushed beans. Is this even made from coffee beans? I look back at him and saw him still busy with his notebook. Then I glance at the plate beside me. I look back at him to see if he's looking, when I saw he's not, I slowly place down the mug on the table to not create any noise and get his attention. I slowly reach for the chocolate cookie sandwich he's talking about. Once I have already grab one, I look at him once again to make sure he's not looking before taking a quick bite out of it. 

"Hmm..." My head slowly nod as I tasted the cookie sandwich, it's like an Oreo but a cheaper version. There's less filling and the cookie taste a lot different. 

"Sarap 'no..." I stuffed the remaining cookie in my mouth before looking at him with wide eyes while he's looking at me with a smile on his face. 

"Gusto mo pa ba niyan?" tanong niya ulit, my brows furrowed before slowly chew on the food and shaking my head.
