CHAPTER 27

Richard woke up feeling this throbbing pain in his head. It feels like his head has been hammered and it aches so much. He sat up from the bed, realizing he’s not in his room. He tried standing up but end up feeling dizzy and he fell back on the bed.

What happened last night? Why is my head pounding like this?

Remembering nothing, he attempted to stand up again and headed downstairs. His hand is on his head when Arturo saw him. Images of what happened last night flashed on his mind. Yes, I got drunk. I and Tatay Arturo got drunk last night. He sat on the table with Arturo and continued to massage his head.

He was not expecting it when Arturo laughed. When he looked up, he saw that he is laughing at him. “Pasensya ka na. Hindi ka naman pala sanay sa inuman eh!”  He laughed some more. “Kumusta ang ulo mo?”

“It’s aching so hard, Tay.” He smirked but he can still feel the throbbing pain. “It’s unfair, Tay. Bakit ako lang? Eh parang mas marami pa ho kayong nainom kaysa sa’kin?”

“Sanayan lang yan Richard.” He took a sip from his cup of coffee. “Gusto mo ng kape?”

“Yes, please.”

Arturo chuckled then called his daughter. “Maya!”

Richard’s eyes widen at the mention of the lady’s name. When he heard footstep, which he was certain that it’s her, he straightened his body telling her that he’s not drunk.

“Bakit po, Tay?” Maya said.

“Ipagtimpla mo nga ‘tong si Richard ng kape. Ang sakit daw ng ulo eh, nakakaawa naman, tumba sa inuman.” Arturo said.

“No! Hi-hindi masakit ang ulo ko, Maya. Hi-hindi naman malakas yung tama ng tuba.” Richard said, trying to hide the pain in his head.

Maya nodded and headed on the kitchen to make his coffee. Arturo couldn’t help but smile on what Richard did. He even saw that when Maya was finally out of sight, he returned his hand on his head to massage it.

“Richard, ito na yung kape mo.” Maya said, bringing the cup of coffee which made Richard to remove his hand on his head. Arturo chuckled. “T-thank you.” Richard said.

“Sige na, iiwan ko na kayong dalawa dyan. ‘Dun muna ako sa labas.” Arturo said and stood up, holding his coffee. “Maya, wag kang maniwala dyan kay Richard. Masakit ang ulo nyan. Ikaw na muna ang bahala dyan.” He patted Richard’s shoulder and left.

Maya turned to look at Richard, raising her brows. “What?” Richard asked.

The lady pinched his nose. “Ayan kasi, inom nang inom. Sakit ng ulo mo no?”

“Aw! Don’t please. Ang sakit na nga ng ulo ko eh.” He said, taking her hand off of his nose.

“Ang kulit kasi!” Maya said. She couldn’t help but be quite mad at Richard. Yes, she is mad. She is mad at him for making her worry. It’s a good thing that she was going downstairs when she saw Richard lose his balance. If she wasn’t even there or if she was a fraction of a second late, who knows what could’ve happen to him? He might’ve even hit his head and might go back into coma. Who knows?

“I’m fine, okay?” Richard said irritably. “It’s a first for me anyway so now I know na yung tuba na yun ang limit ko.” He said.

“Paano na lang kung wala ako nung na-out of balance ka? Posible kayang mabagok yung ulo mo? Tapos babalik ka sa coma mo.” Maya said. She can’t help but let go of those thoughts. “Isipin mo naman kami! Pati sina Tito at Tita! Isipin pa nila kung anong –“
