Aishi's POV
I made sure that they're asleep, and when I do... I quickly snuck out of the bedroom and headed to the restroom silently, with a water bottle and a small bag in my hand.
"... I was... reckless..." Dali-dali kong nilabas ang laman nang maliit na bag na hawak-hawak ko. "Sa... amoy pa lang... alam ko na..." Kinuha ko ang nagsisilibing gamot sa lason kanina. "That was... poisoned... tch!" I swallowed it along with hot water, so that it will melt faster.
Right when the medicine almost entered my system, I unintentionally coughed it out.
"*cough* *cough* Nng...! *cough*" My eyes started to water when I saw something on the sink... I-it's blood... I just coughed blood...! Is it back again!?
I rested my throat first and tried to be calm this time. And I drank the medicine with hot water the second time... Hindi siya nakakabuti dahil sa dugo, pero wala akong choice. I'll continue to suffer if I don't drink this pill.
Nawalan ako ng balanse kaya muntikan akong matumba. Pero natapunan ko ang vase at nabasag. Shit! Baka narinig nila yun, hindi... sigurado akong narinig nila yun, malakas ang impact sa pagkahulog.
"Aishi...? Nandyan ka ba? Okay ka lang?" Narinig ko ang boses ni Jayce sa labas kaya napamura ako.
"Dammit! Paano na to?"
I fixed myself quickly and opened the door.
"Uhhh... Y-yeah? Wh-what is it?" Grabe Aishi! Way not to be suspicious! And here you are stumbling on your words!
"Anong ginagawa mo dyan?" Si Layleson naman ang nagsalita at lumapit sa amin ni Jayce. His eyes are piercing.
"O-oh--It's just... I-I'm not feeling well." Aishi! Calm down, will you!?
Nakita ni Layleson ang bag na hawak-hawak ko, tinago ko naman yung agad. Sumingit si Jayce sa usapan at hinawakan ako sa balikat. "May problema ba? Namumutla ka, Aishi."
"Kung maka-atsa ka, parang may tinatago ka... At anong laman ng bag mo? Pwede patingin?" Layleson! Can you please stop being too smart and nosy?! Kanina pa niya binabantayan ang bawat galaw ko!
"Tinatago? Ano naman ang itinatago ko? Hindi ba pwedeng mag-cr sa ginta ng gabi?" I managed to sound neutral... Kumalma ka, Aishi. I scratched my head and tried to talk to them casually. "Sorry nagising kayo sa ingay. Hindi ko sinasadyang basagin ang vase."
Right when I saw Jayce's relieved face, Layleson's face intensified even more. Kinuha niya ang kanang kamay ko at nakita niya ang dugo! Oh no! I didn't even realized that!
"Blood?! Bakit may dugo sa kamay mo?!" He examined it but didn't touch it. "It wasn't a cut from the vase, and it's still fresh...! Anong ibig sabihin nito, Aishi?!" I get it that he just saw a blood, but kailangan ba talaga niyang mag-overreact at sigawan ako?!
"Ohhhhhh! Hahahaha! I get it." Proud na sabi ni Jayce. Nalilito kaming tumingin sa kanya. "Layle, dapat hindi mo basta-bastang hawakan yan." W-what is he saying...? "Hindi mo ba naiintindihan? Ano ba ang bumibisita sa mga babae, every month? And it somehow involves blood, at may bag pang dala si Aishi..." Napahinto si Layleson. "Which means...?"
Binitawan ni Layleson ang kamay ko. "I-is it... period blood?"
"Yes...!" Thanks Jayce, may excuse na ako. "T-time ko sa month nga-ngayun..." Naiilang parin akong sabihin yun sa kanina. I mean... lalake sila pareho... S-so...
"O-oh... I thought s-something happened..." Napakamot sa ulo si Layleson. "... My bad. Sorry for overreacting."
"Wala ka talagang alam sa mga babae, Layle HAHAHAHA!" Sambit ni Jayce at inis namang tumingin si Layleson sa kanya.
