"Wow...may rest house pala kayo dito sa Taguig?" mangha kong sabi habang nililibot ng tingin ang loob ng bahay.
The rest house was cozy and welcoming. The living room was large, with big windows letting in the soft light of the rainy night. A comfortable sofa was in the middle, with two armchairs next to it, all facing a stone fireplace. The wooden floors made the room feel warm, and the walls had framed photos and paintings, giving it a personal feel. A large, rustic coffee table held some magazines and a vase of fresh tulips, which she had just put there.
Dito niya ako dinala dahil mas malapit daw ito kaysa sa apartment niya. Napagdesisyunan namin huwag na muna umuwi dahil sa nangyari sakin. I will make my family worried.
"Yeah, I'm the only one who comes here. My brothers don't want to stay here since they have their villas," she said, putting down the tulips in the vase on the coffee table. Then she took a red first aid kit from a drawer. "Come here...gagamutin kita."
Suminghap ako at tumabi sakanya. I looked at my rolex. It's already 11:20 pm. Binalingan ko siya at kinuha ang kit upang ilayo sakanya. Nagkasalubong ang kilay niya bumaling sakin.
"Mamaya mo na ako gamutin, okay? let's celebrate your birthday. Mag 12 na oh-" pakita ko sakanya sa relo ko.
Sumimangot siya sakin."Is it important pa ba? don't mind me na lang-we can still celebrate it right after I clean your wounds, okay?"
"Pero-"
"Take off your polo," utos niya at kinuha na ang kit.
Napakamot ako sa ulo ko."Eh, naman kasi! hindi naman ako nasugatan ng sobra-Ah! Aray ko!" napangiwi ako ng bigla niya hampasin ang bandang likod ko tama lang para makaramdam ako ng sakit!
"See? hindi ba talaga? don't fool me, kaya e take off mo na ang polo mo so we can start." aniya at nilabas na ang ointment, cotton at alcohol!
Tangina! parang mas masakit pa ata ang alcohol kaysa sa natamo kong sugat! tingin ko palang sa alcohol parang nanghihina na ako. Napaatras ako ng upo dahil hahawakan niya sana ang kamay kong may sugat.
"Please...huwag ng alcohol. Mahapdi." takot kong sabi.
She suddenly rolled her eyes and tapped her forehead. "Seryuso ka ba? you looked so brave kanina while having so many sugat tapos scared ka lang sa ganito??" bigla niya nilapit sakin ang alcohol na ikinaatras ko ulit.
"Aish! hindi naman kasi ganun. Sakin lang mahapdi ang alcohol po kasi-"
"Mag gaganito tayo mamaya, pag pumayag ka." aniya at tinapik-tapik ang hita ko gamit ang isang hintuturo niya.
My brows furrowed. Umawang ang labi ko at dahan dahan siyang tinuro na may gulat sa mukha.
"H-huy....panong...pano mo yan alam ah?! sino nag turo niyan sa'yo?!" galit kong sabi na tila hindi makapaniwala.
