NAKAHINGA ako nang maluwag. I was not ready for that. Alijhan was kissing me and I couldn't breath.
He was near and I could not move. Nakatingin ako ngayon sa salamin na saking harapan. Sobrang namumula ang aking mukha at hindi pa 'rin mapakali sa ginawa niya. Nakakainis, paano ako hindi nakagalaw nang mangyari iyon? Bakit natameme ako?
Ang dami kong rant kay Fe. Hindi manlang siya nakakasagot sa bawat text at tawag ko. In the end, nag pasya akong mag laptop at mag hanap ng papasyalan dito sa Antique. Hindi magiging happy ang bakasyon ko kung hindi rin naman ako magagala dito.
Around 8pm na ako natapos sa pag hahanap. Biglang bumukas ang pinto. Niluwa non si Yaya.
"Bumaba na 'raw po ka'yo, kakatapos lang po mag luto." Ngumiti siya.
"Sige susunod ako. Nandyan na si Tita May?" I asked without looking at her.
"Wala po. Mukhang matatagalan din po siya sa manila."
"Ah, sige salamat, Ya." I smiled. Pinatay ko ang laptop and sumunod na bumaba.
Nakita kong nakaupo roon si Alijhan. Pero hindi niya ginagalaw ang pagkain niya. Was he waiting someone? I sit across with him. Hindi ako nag sasalita at kumuha ng ng pagkaing inahin na sa lamesa. I think he was staring at me because I can sense his action. I can't reach the tilpya that was cooked in Charcoals. So, he reached it for me.
He handed it on me afterwards. I was speechless and avoided his gaze.
He was chuckled. I was stop putting my rice on my placet because of his chuckling.
"Yes?" I looked at him without any emotion.
"Nothing," he said. He reached the tilapya and starts eating.
"Okay," kumain ako ng tahimik. I knew sometimes he was staring at me but I didn't mind all.
"I was lending you the dish." He said in a deep baritone voice. I arched my brows at him.
"Why, Mr. Cyr, were you expecting me to say thank you?" Umarko ang labi ko.
"As you should." He chuckled, at nakakainis pag gumaganyan siya. I bit my lips in so much frustrated.
"I did not even say to give me the dish, Mr. Cyr. Why would I be?" I shut my eyes on him.
Our eyes met. He become serious and unread. He arched his lips and continue eating again. Kinagat ko ang labi ko at umalis na agad roon pagkatapos. Patabog akong umupo sa malambot na kama. Nag papadyak ako sa inis at nagagalaiti ako sa kaniya. A minutes later I hear knocking on my door. I was expecting yaya but I saw him.
Napaatras ako ng bahagya dahil pumasok siya without my permission. Dahan dahan siya humakbang. Binulsa ang kanang kamay sa kaniyang bulsa.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked. Ilang ulit na napapalunok dahil kada pag-atras ko siyang pag lapit naman niya.
"Stop!" Pero hindi siya natinag. "I said stop, this is my room Mr. Alijhan!" I shouted.
He stopped. Nakita kong kinanot niya ang batok at ngumisi. Namumula na siguro ako sa inis.
"Look, I'm here to ask you."
He asked me? For what? Tumayo ako ng tuwid. Napalunok ako dahil hindi ko kayang titigan siya.
"There's a lot of beautiful view around this place, and Mom is not here, so if you want to go with me later, ready your self."
"Where?" I asked.
He looks me straight and I didn't even break our eye contact. He bits his lips and arched his brows. Makakapal ang kilay niya at matangos ang ilong, hindi ko kayang sabihin na pangit siya dahil hindi naman talaga!
