"Are you allowed to eat this?"
I looked at Amiel. He's holding a shawarma, one serving of rice with steak, and chicken burger. He looks so worried that I wanted to laugh but I suppressed myself.
H'wag siyang masiyadong ganiyan, baka iba isipin ko.
He's overreacting... but I like it. Is that a sin?
I lightly chuckled, "of course, sa shrimp lang naman ako may allergy," the last time that my allergy was triggered was the day of my pageant during senior high. Kung saan naging substitute ko si Elri.
I've been avoiding that food for years then biglang ganito? I should've informed Aenna first before she could order the food. Masiyado ba akong occupied ng inis at hindi ko naisip 'yon? Hindi rin naman kasi ako maarte sa food as long as it's serve to me, I'll dig in. However, she didn't get our opinion as well.
Though, forget about that. My face is still not in good shape.
Nakakahiya na nakita ako ni Amiel na maga ang mukha!
I looked ugly, just what the fuck.
But he doesn't seem to mind, we just ate in silence. Ilang oras na rin ako rito sa hospital. I called Mommy to inform her because I know she's on a far place doing a medical mission. I hope wala siyang signal kung saan man siya na-designate. For sure, she will just scold me! While Dad is with KD in school, they might visit me here later. It's safe to tell stuffs like this to Dad, Mom's like a different variant of tigress.
Nabitawan ko yung spoon kasi medyo nangati 'yung kamay ko. It's still swollen and some part of my body except my face.
Pretty na ulit ako.
Dapat lang, dahil kung hindi baka kasama na ni Aenna si Amiel ngayon na mag-dinner kasama ang family niya.
"Let me," My breathing almost stop when he scoop the food on my mouth.
"You don't really have to do this. Any moment my family might come here, you can leave na."
Ibinaba niya ang kutsara after akong subuan. "You don't want your family to meet me?" My eyes widened. Saglit pa akong natulala sa kaniya. His tone was like a boyfriend na magtatampo.
"It's not like that okay? Kilala ka naman na nila," bulong ko.
"What?"
Tumikhim ako, "I mean, you have family dinner right? You should be with them, Amiel. I'm really fine, na-check na rin naman na ako ng doctor kanina,"
"I already told them. Mama's an understanding person as well as my sister."
So si Aenna lang talaga ang bida-bida na parang hindi makakakain kung wala si Amiel, na sa kaniya ba ang kutsara?
