My eyes were closed while waiting for him. I'm having a hard time fighting my sleepiness pero the thought of seeing Archer kind of excites me. Kaya medyo napaayos ako ng itsura ko.
Jusko ang landi ko naman! May asawa na yung tao, eh.
Sabing hindi pwede ang may asawa na, Amara! Please lang, tigil na. Hindi pwede to.
I sighed at ginulo na lang muli ang buhok dahil sa sarili. Bumusangot ako bago yinakap ang unan, hinihintay na may kumatok. Gusto ko ng matulog pero hindi pwede dahil kailangan kong uminom ng gamot.
Eh kailangan kong kumain tapos hintayin ko daw yung pagkain sabi ni Archer.
When I heard a door bell ay tumayo na ako. Agad akong napayakap sa sarili ng maramdaman ang lamig kahit nakahoodie at pajama na ako.
Ugh, my aircon is so malakas. Ang lamig tuloy.
I opened the door at agad nasalubong ang malalamig at matalim na mata ni Archer.
Napaiwas ako ng tingin bago tumalikod na at naglakad papuntang sofa.
Agad akong napaupo doon, ramdam ang bigat ng katawan.
"You're a doctor right?" He asked kaya I nodded, our eyes staring at each other. "You look more of a patient."
Tinignan ko ito ng masama bago inirapan. Malamang, kasi may sakit ako! Mas nakakagulat iyong mukha akong doctor kahit may sakit. Hindi naman ako super hero.
"Where's my food?" I asked in a low voice kaya napataas ang kilay nito.
He went into the dining table and put the cooked food there. Kumuha siya ng utensils sa kitchen kaya tumayo na ako at umupo sa upuan sa dining table.
He placed the spoon on the food he brought which is a macaroni soup. Natakam naman ako bigla especially when I saw its sabaw. Ito ang bet ko sa macaroni eh! And it's still hot!
He pushed it towards me before pulling a chair and sitting in front of me. Agad akong kinabahan dahil sa mga titig niya. Bakit siya manonood?!
I bit my lips and looked down. I don't have the strength to complain or even fight him.
"Uh, sorry for calling you, I thought it's food delivery." Sabi ko dito kaya napatitig siya sa 'kin.
I scooped for a macaroni and ate it. Agad nalasahan ang masarap na sabaw kaya 'di ko maiwasang mapatingin doon. Masarap.
"It was intentional." Sabi nito kaya napalingon ulit ako sa kanya.
"What?" I asked, confused with what he's referring to.
"Giving you my number." He answered that made me shocked.
Napatigil pa ang kamay ko sa ere at ginalaw ko lang ulit ng sulyapan niya ito. I ate another scoop before talking.
Napalunok pa ako ng ilang beses, kinakalma ang sarili.
"It's not what I'm asking for though." sabi ko.
I don't know, it was a sweet gesture pero ayoko ng ganito. May asawa na siya diba? Why is he doing these? Kindness?
"Delete it, then." Sabi nito kaya napakunot ang noo ko.
"No," Agad na tanggi ko kaya napataas ang kilay nito at napasmirk.
I rolled my eyes at him.
Bibigay bigay niya tapos ipapadelete! Aba, hindi ako stupid. I can use this for future purposes.
"Just ask me for food. I always have more than what I could finish." Sabi nito kaya napakunot ang noo ko.
Nagtataka. Diba may asawa siya? Why not give it to her?
