Oh My Captain

Ball 28

"Are you alright?" Malonzo asked while rubbing my back.

I rinsed my mouth with water. Tumungo ako kung saan ang towel tissue at pinunas iyon sa bibig ko.

"Yeah, baka bumabaligtad lang ang sikmura ko ngayon dahil sa nainom ko kagabi" I said.

Nalukot pa ang mukha niya sa sinabi ko.

"Who were you with when you drink?" he asked.

"Si Monique. Nagpunta ako sa bahay nila" saad ko sabay lagpas sa kaniya at bumalik na pwesto ko.

His eyes remains looking at me.Puno parin ng pag-alala at kuryosidad ang mga titig niya. I cleared my throat my throat.

"Really, I'm fine Malonzo. This is from alcohol" I insinuate.

I saw his eyes cleared. He lifted up the plate and brought it to me. My mouth salivates at the delicious sight of the food. But, I am still looking for an additional ingredient for my breakfast.

I look up at him as I gave him a cutely with a pleading eyes.

"Can you hand me the soy sauce?" I said.

Kumurba ng kilay niya sa sinabi ko; waring nagtataka kung bakit pinapaabot ko ang toyo sa kaniya.

"You want what? ano gagawin mo sa toyo?" takang tanong niya.

Nagbugnot ako ng mukha. Nainis ako sa tanong niya. Natural ilalagay ko sa kakainin ko.

"I'll put it on my sandwich" tinarayan ko siya.

Mas lalong bumakas ang pagtataka niya sa sinabi ko. Then, he softly chuckle at my answer as if I was just being sarcastic.

"It will taste weird, babe. Eat now and we will still talk about us to settle the rift between us" he said, ignoring my requestion.

I angrily tapped the tiles. "Ayoko! I won't eat this goddamn sandwich if there is no soy sauce on top of it!" I raised my tone.

He was stunned at my reaction. I puff a heavy sigh. Pati ako nagulat din sa inasta ko pero mas nangingibabaw ang kagustuhan kong lagyan ng toyo itong sandwich ko. Wala akong paki kung naiisip na niyang natotoyo narin ako. I am craving for it.

Sighing, he turned his back and walk towards where the condements are. I widely grin when he is holding the bottle of soy sauce as he stride his way towards me.

He handed me the bottle and I excited took it from his hold. I can sense that he is watching my every move. I spread the condement like a ketchup on my bread.

"Stop putting too much, babe. Maalat" reklamo niya sabay agaw nang toyo mula sa akin.

I grunted. My lips curved up as my eyes started to get blurry cause I am about to cry. Panic crept into his conscience.

"The fuck, babe...what's happening to you?" he exclaimed as he paved his way to me.

I was shocked when he cursed. Tears pooled down my cheeks. I weep like a child. He stands before me and cupped my face. Worried enveloped his face. I cried even more. I don't know why suddenly I became like this. Meron ba akong split personality?

"Minumura mo na ako ngayon? at pinagdadamot mo pa ang toyo sa akin. Bakit? toyo ko naman ito ah, ikaw ba bumili? diba hindi. Napakadamot mo na sa akin porket ikaw nagluto" maktol kong parang bata sa kaniya.

I saw him suppressed a smile at my childlike outburst. Mas lalo akong nairita kaya tinutulak ko siya palayo sa akin.

"Ngayon naman tinatawanan mo ko!" I screamed.
