Scars Of Yesterday's Drama

Chapter 12

AFTER I gave him my consent to be my boyfriend, he did all the things that he promised to me that day. We exchanged contact, and he would always call me even if he was writing a chapter for his story on his laptop.

He was sweet and would ask me first before coming here to visit me.

Nandito nga siya ngayon, nakahiga ang ulo sa kandongan ko. Katatapos lang niya kasing mag-update ng ilang kabanata sa kuwentong sinusulat niya, medyo masakit nga raw ulo niya—migraine siguro.

“Thank you for letting me rest here with you...” he mumbled.

“No problem, are you hungry?” I asked him softly as I gently ran my fingers on his hair.

There was a ghost of a smile plastered on his face. His glasses were on the coffee table beside him. Rhenzley's eyes were closed. He looked so peaceful and handsome.

“How about you? Are you hungry?” instead of answering me, he asked me back.

I shook my head.

Haynako, baka hindi siya kumain bago pumunta dito at magpahinga. Kahit gutom siya ang sasabihin niya ay busog na siya, kahit hindi naman pala.

Inuuna niya ako kesa sa sarili niya. Oo, masaya ako dahil ganoon siya kaalaga sa'kin. Pero nakakainis lang dahil sa hindi niya inuuna ang kan'yang sarili.

“Get up, magluluto ako nang makakain natin.” utos ko sa kan'ya.

“No, I don't wanna...” he whined, tilting his body from the left.

“Get up, now. You can rest after we eat food,” I muttered. But I only earned a groan from him, as he pouted those pinkish lips of his.

“Okay fine,” he answered.

He got up and stood up as he scratched his neck. Still pouting at me. I did stand up, too. We walk through the kitchen, telling him that he should sit and I'll just cook our food to eat.

I walk towards the fridge to get five eggs. I opened the fridge and picked five eggs from the left side, then I closed the fridge again and went to the counter to get a large bowl and fork. I put down the eggs that I picked from the fridge, breaking them one by one until there were no eggs left. I put some seasonings, too, as I whisk the eggs inside the large bowl slowly before stopping as it is now mixed with the seasonings.

I left the large bowl of eggs and got a pan as well as the oil to heat it on the gas stove. It didn't take long to heat the pan and the oil was looking all bubbly with the small bubbles on it. I picked up the large bowl and slowly put down the eggs that I had whisked.

“You need help?” he asked me from his seat.

“No, thank you,” I responded.

I'm making an omelette for us to eat. I hope he likes it.

I did my work on perfecting this omelette and when I did, I smiled in satisfaction. He only hummed when I said that I was done, he volunteered to help me set the table, so I wouldn't be doing it anymore.

The rice cooker was already on the table. I just needed to put this plate of omelet on the table so we could eat already.

Lumakad ako palapit sa mesa kong nasaan siya naka puwesto habang hawak-hawak ang dalawang omelette sa plato. Nang makalapit na ako ay linagay ko sa mesa ang plato, ito mona ulam namin para sa ngayon. Nakalimutan ko kasing pumunta sa palengke kahapon, baka ngayon ako mamimili nang mga pagkain.

Naka lista na rin lahat ang mga bibilhin ko.

Binuksan ko ang rice cooker at linagyan siya ng kanin sa plato niya, linagyan ko rin ang akin. Linagay ko na rin ang omelette sa plato namin, tig isa kami. Saka naupo sa tabi niya. Nagdasal din kami bago kumain, siya ang nangunang magdasal para magpasalamat sa biyayang natatanggap namin at sa pagkain na inihanda ko para sa amin.

“Pupunta ako nang palengke mamaya, pasensiya na kong 'yan lang ang ulam natin ngayon.” sabi ko sa kan'ya.

Sinulyapan ko siya at tumaas ang kilay ko sa kan'ya. Kumakain na pala siya. Nagmumukhang chipmunk nga siya e, punong-puno ba naman ang bunganga nito at parang sasabog na pisnge niya dahil lumaki ito sa dami ng pagkain sa bunganga niya.

Iniharap ko ang buong katawan sa kan'ya. Sabay kuha ng fetcher at baso sa tabi ng rice cooker, linagyan ko ang braso nang tubig at binigay iyon sa kaniya para hindi siya mabulonan.

“You need to eat slowly, you'll choke yourself!”

Kinuha niya naman ang baso sa'kin at ininom niya iyon. Nang matapos siyang uminom nang tubig ay binaba niya ang baso sa mesa, lumingon siya sa'kin at ngumiti ng napaka lapad.

“It tastes good!” he happily said to me.

“It's just an egg, of course it will.” i responded.

I sounded impressed, I would not lie. He likes it and said that it tastes good even though it's just an egg with a sprinkle of seasonings on it.

“Kahit na, for me, this is the best omelet I have ever eaten in my whole life.” he chuckled slightly before he continued to eat his food.

I did eat mine, and my eyes widened when I got to taste the omelette. It is good.

We ate our food until there was nothing left on our plates. We washed the dishes together and went to the couch again to sit there—to relax for a bit since we were full.

He writes two chapters for a moment so that he can update his new story on Wattpad. I let him be. But he would ask me to suggest a scene where the male lead and female lead will meet at a place, or does he have to write a science where the boy betrayed the girl and so on.

When he was done writing, he published it. He even sighed in relief before laying his head on my lap again like earlier. I wasn't uncomfortable at all, it kinda gives me a butterflies in my stomach.

“You have a very wide imagination.” i mumbled.

“You think so? I wrote those stories because of you and my family.” he answered me. His eyes stare at mine.

“Oh... Thanks, that's sweet of you.”

“Only for you.”

We talked on and on, until we decided that we should go out and buy groceries so that there's enough food to be eaten here. He even insists on paying for all of the food that we have to buy.

I can't believe that I have a perfect boyfriend. I thought I won't be feeling romantically towards a guy. But I did, though. I fell in love with him.
