ANG HULING KABANATA

Carlos was tasting the soup he just cooked while his eyebrows were furrowing. He can taste nothing wrong with it but he still felt it wasn't enough. Tumingin siya sa may 'di kalayuan kung saan naka-upo si Alpas, at nakita niyang hindi man lang nito ginagalaw ang kaniyang pagkain.

“So something's wrong with the soup I cooked?” He mentally asked himself.

“Why are you frowning?” tanong ni Prince na kakadating lamang. He brought his hand close to Carlos’ face and he gently massaged the frown of his eyebrows away.

Ngunit humaba ang nguso nito at tinignan si Prince.

Prince laughed softly and he sat on the chair beside his mate while holding his hand. “Hey, care to tell me what’s wrong?”

“May ipapatikim ako sa'yo. And you need to tell me if it's not delicious okay? Be honest,” sabi ni Carlos.

“Did you cook it?” tanong ni Prince habang hinahaplos ang mga kamay ni Carlos.

“Hmm,” Carlos hummed in agreement.

“Then I know, for sure, it's delicious. Kahit na 'di ko pa natitikman,” sabi ni Prince.

“Nonsense,” sagot ni Carlos at pinakawalan ang mga kamay niya. Kinuha niya ang kaniyang kutsara at sumandok ng sabaw. Marahan niya iyong hinipan bago ilapit sa bibig ni Prince.

Prince was staring at Carlos who was focusing his gaze on the spoon and not wanting to spill it. He was staring because no one had feed him before even when he's sick, but now his mate was feeding him and it's making his heart swell.

Prince was a grown man who grew without parents. Yes, he have his pack with him but he's still missing a puzzle piece. A piece of warmth that was gone after his parents died. Nangungulila pa rin siya. But somehow right now, he felt so full inside with enough warmth. At dahil iyon kay Carlos. His mate filled all the gaps that he was missing.

“Prince, open your mouth,” Carlos said and his voice woke Prince from his reverie.

Prince complied and he opened his mouth slightly. The moment the warm spoonful of soup came in contact with his mouth, he's sure that it was the best soup he have ever tasted. The warmth traveled from his throat and it somehow warmed his whole body. He liked it, he liked it very much.

Carlos waited patiently and anxiously. He also watched as Prince’s eyes turned into golden, but after a couple of seconds something made Carlos to stand up abruptly.

“Bakit ka lumuluha?!” natatarantang tanong ni Carlos at binitawan niya ang hawak niyang kubyertos para hawakan ang magkabilang pisngi ni Prince.

“I’m so sorry! Was it too hot? Spit it out!” tuloy-tuloy na sinabi ni Carlos.

Umiling naman si Prince at pinunasan ang kaniyang mga luha. “It’s delicious. Super delicious. It's the best soup I've ever tasted,” sabi nito habang ngumingiti.

“What are you talking about? It's just a cream of mushroom soup! How could it be the best?” tanong ni Carlos.

Prince smiled. “Gusto ko pa, let me have some more, please.”

Tinitigan siya ni Carlos pero kanlaunan ay sumadok siya ulit gamit ang kutsara at hinipan iyon bago ilapit sa bibig ni Prince. Naningkit ang mga mata ni Prince sa saya at tumango-tango pa ito.

“It’s really delicious,” sabi pa nito.

“Be honest, please,” sabi ni Carlos at tinikman ulit ang kaniyang luto.

“I’m being honest.”

Carlos sighed in relief and he sat back down.

“Can I have it?” tanong ni Prince habang nakatingin sa bowl.
