His Dangerous Obsession

Chapter 10

NAGISING AKO madaling araw nu'ng makarinig ng mahihinang kalabog. I fix my hair first before getting up. Nakita kong wala si Seven sa kaniyang kama.

I heard another sound again coming from the bathroom, nakunot ang aking nuo. It's 2am, tinawag ba siya ng kalikasan?

Umupo ulit ako sa sofa na pinagkakahigan ko kanina, hihintayin ko na lamang itong lumabas bago matulog ulit. I'm still so tired and needed a lot of rest.

Nakalipas na ang ilang minuto but he's still inside. Tumatae ba ito? Tumayo na ako at lumapit sa may pintuan, I was about to knock when I notice it was slightly open. Napalunok ako, nag dadalawang isip ang utak ko kung sisilip ba ako or hindi. Baka kasi naglalabas talaga ito ng sama ng loob at baka kung ano pang makita kong anaconda.

"Seve--" I stopped when I heard his loud breath... Wait... Loud breath?

Hindi ko na matiis at sinilip ito. My eyes widen when I saw him standing infront of the mirror, he was slightly laughing but... but his eyes...

His crying...

Muli akong napalunok, what happened? Is he okay? obviously not, he's fucking crying while laughing!

Kaya pala ang lakas ng paghinga nito dahil pinipigilan nito ang hikbi.

He reach the side of his face. "You motherfucker." the atmosphere suddenly changed. Pinunasan niya ang kaniyang mukha at mas lalo pang lumakas ang tawa niya. Nasisiraan na ba siya? Natuloyan na ba talaga ang utak niya dahil sa pagkabagok?

Kaagad akong napaatras nu'ng magtama ang tingin namin. Once again I felt myself trembling but this time, nilabanan ko na ang takot, I sighed before entering the bathroom. He was just staring at me using the mirror.

"Seven..." Tumayo ako sa gilid niya, yumuko ito saglit bago ako hinarap. He smiled but it didn't reach to his eyes. Napansin ko rin ang pamamaga ng mata niya, ang ilalim ng mata nito ay bahagyang nangingitim. Hindi ba siya natulog?

"Did I wake you up?"

Parang kusang gumalaw ang kamay ko, I touch his face, pinunasan ko ang basang parte ng mukha niya dahil sa mga luha niya kanina.

"Seven, you can tell me anything." I stared at his eyes, binabasa ko ang mga emotion doon.

He looked away, dahilan para mabitawan ko ito. "You don't have to know everything, just stay by my side and---"

"You don't have to carry that weight forever, babe. I am here now, you have someone you can rely on." I said emotionally, those are the words I wish I heard from someone but I guess I can just tell that to someone I knew who's more miserable than me.

His eyes widen, maybe because of those sentences I said, kahit ako rin nagulat sa mga lumalabas sa bibig ko. Ang gusto ko lang naman malaman ang lahat ng tungkol sa kaniya na sa kaniya talaga mismo nanggaling. I want him to openly talk to me.

"I-I... I-I... fuck... I-I.." nakunot ang aking nuo, he's uttering while avoiding my eyes, nakita ko ang pamumula ng tenga nito at pisnge.

Binalik ko ulit ang kamay ko sa mukha niya but this time dalawang kamay ko na ang humawak sa mukha nito para matignan ito ng maigi.

"D-Don't touch me!" I flinched when he slightly push me, mahina lang naman ito pero oa talaga ako mag react kaya napasinghap ako. I saw him regretting it right away pero kagaya kanina, umiwas lang ito ng tingin.

"Sorry..." I whispered. I guess we are not that close, he's still not comfortable with me.

I smiled. "Tara na, it's still 2am, matulog na ulit tayo." I said deafeatedly. Wrong move, mukhang naging disperado ako ngayon dahil nakita ko itong umiyak but.. I just really want to know him more.
