When our eyes continued to meet, napakapit ako sa bathrobe na suot ko. Thoughts are storming my mind… underwear lang ang suot ko nang magising ako. Tapos nandito si Jarren ngayon, nagluluto sa kusina ko. Hindi ako si Taylor Swift pero I think I’ve seen this scene before, teh…
Me and my underwear, Jarren cooking. Meaning… OH MY GOSH!
Ang bataan ko! Wala na?! Wait lang, teka naman! KAILANGAN KONG HUMINGA!
“Don’t stare at me as if I molested you, Sofia,” Jarren suddenly mumbled as he diverted his gaze on what’s he is cooking, “I didn’t do anything to you.”
Doon ay nakahinga ako nang maluwag. ‘Yung para bang may nakatusok na tinik sa dibdib ko pero biglang nabunot nang dahil sa sinabi niya. Akala ko talaga… jusko jusko! Ang utak mo, eagirl! Ikalma mo talaga, teh!
“W-Wala naman akong sinasabi!” Ramdam na ramdam ko ngayon ang pag-iinit ng mga pisngi ko kasi teh! Nananalo ang utak ko! May bigla akong naiimagine! “Ang judgemental mo!”
Ngumisi siya sa akin, “your face says it all, Sofia.”
“Sus! Nagagandahan ka lang talaga sa ‘kin, ‘di mo pa aminin!” Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at nilapitan, “pero anong drama pala ‘to? Bakit ang random na out of nowhere, bubungad ka sa kusina ko na nagluluto?”
“You forgot?”
“What? I forgot what?”
“You cried the hell out last night begging me not to leave you so I have no choice but to sleep on the couch,” he stated, and I widened my eyes, “you even vomit on your clothes so I have to undress you—but don’t worry, I did it while closing my eyes.”
“What?!” Lalong uminit ang mga pisngi ko. Nakakahiya ka talaga, eabab! Pinatong ko ang kamay sa ibabaw ng ulo ko at umiling-iling, “jusko, teh! Sorry na! Lasing lang ako kagabi! Sorry talaga!”
For a moment, tinitigan niya lang ako sa mukha. Then he looked away while smiling, “it’s okay. Don’t be embarrassed.”
Nakakainis! Bawas ganda points ‘to sa kanya, kakabadtrip talaga! Pero teka… bakit ko ba iniisip ‘yon kung may nililigawan na nga pala siyang iba. There, I felt another ball of pain in my chest. I sighed and forced a smile.
“Let’s eat. I cooked some pork porridge for you. I assumed your head hurts right now,” hawak-hawak na niya ang dalawang mangkok at dinala iyon sa mesa, para akong bata na sinundan lang siya.
“Here,” umupo ako sa tabi niya, he slided the bowl of chicken porridge infront of me then handed me a spoon, “eat.”
Tumango lang ako sa kanya. May kumikirot pa rin sa dibdib ko nang magsimula akong sumubo. It was hot, but my mind is flying towards the pain in my chest. Kung ‘di ko lang siguro alam na may nililigawan siyang iba ngayon, nagtatalon-talon na ako sa kilig panigurado. Kaso ekis… may gustong iba, eh.
“Bakit ka pala nag-inom?” He said under his thick British accent, “I am just curious.”
“W-Wala, nagkayayaan lang kami ni Kolette,” I continued shoving the food on my mouth even if it’s hot.
“Hmm,” Jarren mumbled again, “are you sure, that’s all?”
“Wala na nga, teh,” tinaasan ko siya ng kilay habang ngumuya, “mukha bang may iba pa? At kung oo, paano mo naman nasabi?”
“You mumbled something last night while crying,” he suddenly smiles.
Kumunot ang noo ko sa kanya, “ano naman ‘yon?!” Jusko! Ano na namang kahihiyan ang sinabi ko kagabi?!
