"After you finish your food, bring your plate to the sink." I commanded him as I stood up holding my plate to go to the kitchen.
"Leave everything there. I'll wash it." He said.
"You know how?" I asked.
"No." He answered.
I scoffed.
"Teach me how to do it. Then I'll do it every day." He said.
"Really?" I confirmed.
Wow.
"Yes. You cook, then I'll wash the dishes." He seriously said.
"Sounds good to me." I said as I placed my plate on the sink.
Habang tinuturuan ko siyang maghugas ng mga plato at ng mga pinaglutuan ko, nakikinig naman siya nang maigi sa'kin at mukhang nagagawa naman niya nang maayos ang paghuhugas.
Nakasandal ako sa edge ng sink habang pinapanood ang paghuhugas niya upang masiguro kong tama ang ginagawa niya.
"Hindi ba pusa ka? 'Di ba takot kayo sa tubig?" Wala sa sarili kong tinanong.
He chukled "It's not harmful."
Matapos niyang hugasan ang huling plato ay naghugas na siya ng mga kamay niya kagaya ng turo ko sa kaniya. Pagkapunas niya ng kamay niya ay napalingon siya sa'kin.
Seryoso ang mukha niya at mukhang may iniisip. Humakbang siya papalapit sa'kin, hawak pa rin ang bimpo at pinupunasan ang kamay niya nang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa'kin.
Problema nito?
Gusto kong umatras ngunit nanatili lang ang aking mga paa kung nasaan ako.
I raised my left eye brow at him.
"Could you teach me tomorrow how to cook?" He asked.
Iyon lang naman pala.
Bakit Cat ano pa bang maaari niyang sabihin?
"Wala ako bukas. Job interview, but I'll be home after. Baka hapon na."
He nodded. "I'll stay here tomorrow then?"
"Yes." I said as I left him in the kitchen.
"You're doing it wrong." I said to him.
Tinuturuan ko siyang magtoothbrush ngayon, at maghilamos.
"Why?" He asked.
"Nagsasayang ka ng toothpaste. Saglit mo pa lang nab-brush dinura mo na agad." I nagged him.
"Then I'll just do it again." Sabi niya sabay kuha ng toothpaste.
"No! Magsasayang ka lang ulit."
"Here. Eto na yung next." Kinuha ko ang gargle at inabot sa kaniya
"Wash the lid first and then pour some of those sa lid." Pag instruct ko sa kaniya.
Tinignan niya muna ito bago sundin ang sinabi ko.
Tinuro ko sa kaniya kung paano mag gargle. I even formed my mouth na para talagang nag gagargle para masundan niya kung paano.
