Captivated by Your Introverted Personality

Chapter 10

JESH

I open my eyes and the first thing that I saw is a white ceiling. My vision is blurry at first and it took around half a minute before it gets clear.

Where am I?

What happened?

I roam my gaze around the room.

Ospital ba 'to?

Bigla nalang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa si Kharl doon na may dala-dalang paper bag.

Siya na naman? Ilang beses ko ba siya dapat makita sa loob ng isang araw?

"Thank God and you're awake. Ito, kain ka muna," he said and then binuksan niya ang dala-dalang paper bag.

"I ordered food sa Jollibee," he said as he took out a styrofoam inside of it.

"I'm going home," I said as I attempted to get up from the bed but I ended up feeling dizzy.

"'Kaya ka nga nahimatay dahil sa pagod tapos 'di ka pa kumakain sa tamang oras tapos ngayon, sasabihin mo sa'kin na uuwi ka na? Eh kung posasan kaya kita riyan at nang 'di ka makawala?"

Hala? Sinong umaway sa isang 'to?

"Why am I here?"

"Nahimatay ka nga! 'Di mo ba naalala?"

Right. I lost consciousness yesterday due to exhaustion from work, and then I studied last night because we have a quiz, and I fell asleep and forgot to eat dinner. And I skipped my meal again at lunch earlier.

Damn!

Anong oras na ba?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked.

"What time is it?"

"9:30."

Hala, shocks! 10:00 'yung curfew ng apartment namin! I need to go home right now!

Dali-dali akong bumangon. Although I ended up feeling dizzy, pinilit ko pa rin. Hindi pwedeng 'di ako makauwi ngayon!

And where the hell is my drawing? Plate ko 'yun!

"Where is my plate?" I ask him sabay binigyan siya ng death glare.

"'Yung drawing mo ba? Nasa bahay."

What?! Paano napunta sa bahay nila 'yun? Grabe 'yung oras na ginugol ko roon para matapos lang!

"Give it back to me!"

"Only if you eat this."

Natahimik naman ako sa sinabi niya.

"Kainin mo 'yan at ako mismo ang maghahatid sayo pauwi. Madadaanan rin naman natin 'yung bahay namin kaya ibibigay ko nalang rin sayo later."

I left with no choice but to eat the food. May binigay pa siyang sabaw, higupin ko raw.

"Ito gamot, inumin mo pagkatapos mong kumain," he said and then he handed me a tablet inside a small plastic.

Binili niya 'to?

"How much is this? I'll pay for it."

"No need. Finish your food at nang makauwi na tayo."

"How about the hospital bill?"

"'Wag mo na nga 'yung aalahanin. Ubusin mo na lang 'yan. O baka naman gusto mo pang subuan pa kita?"

Uhm, okay. Magkakautang na loob pa ako nito tuloy.

While eating, I couldn't concentrate because he's looking at me, and it made me feel very awkward. I'm not used to someone looking at me while eating.
