My Rainy Days

Chapter III

CHAPTER III

Makiko's POV

I wake with his name on my mouth, "Chaos" i utter. I open my eyes and see him walking towards me, holding a breakfast tray. So, i fell asleep pala kagabi at ngayon ay nasa kuwarto nya ako. His bed smells really nice ha. 

"Morning" i greet him, as i get up and sit on the bed.

"Good morning" he greets me back. He puts down the breakfast tray on my bed and says, "Nagluto ako ng espesyal na breakfast para lang sayo." 

I look at the tray full of delicious looking bacons and nicely fried eggrolls with fried rice that i've never seen before. I look at him, smiling and ask, "What's with the rice?"

He sits on the bunk of the bed, smiles and answers, "Its called 'chaos-special-fried-rice'." Then we laugh.

"Okay, matikman nga itong 'chaos-special-fried-rice mo," i said, laughing as i taste the fried rice he made.

"Yummy!" Napasigaw ako sa sarap.

"Syempre, masarap talaga yan, ako nagluto nyan eh." He says, bragging. Well, anyway, he has the rights to brag. His fried rice does taste really good. 

Sarap na sarap ako sa pagkain ng napansin kong nakatitig lang sya sakin. "M-may problema ba?" tanong ko, kahit pa may laman ang bibig ko.

He suddenly laughs. "Ang sarap mong kumain eh," he answered.

"Ah! teka ikaw ba, nag-breakfast kana?" i ask him. Naalala ko lang kasi na ako lang ang kain ng kain dito. Ni hindi ko man lang sya inalok. Ang feeling close ng dating ko. Natawa tuloy ako sa sarili ko. "Sorry ni hindi man lang kita naalok, masyado na kasi akong nasarapan eh." I said, laughing.

He looked at me. "Kahit sino mabubusog na sa panonood palang sayong kumain." He said and then laughs.

"Inaasar mo na ako eh!" I whined, pouting.

"Nag-breakfast nako" He says, smiling.

Patuloy lang ako sa pagkain hanggang sa pati plato ata eh naubos ko na din. "I'm done!" I said cheerfully, habang inaabot ang breakfast tray sa kanya. 

He stands up and gets the breakfast tray, "Feel free to use the bathroom, i won't peak. Pwede mo na ring suotin nalang ang t-shirt ko muna, mamili kana lang sa cabinet ko," he said at itinuro ang cabinet nya. "

Bago sya makalabas ng pinto, i said, "May tiwala naman ako sayo, kaya hindi ako nagaalala na sisilipan mo ako." I smile and wink at him.

He just laughed at me and then got out and closed the door. But it seems to me that i trust him more than he does himself, dahil ni-lock nya pa mismo ang pinto bago nya isinara. Natawa naman ako dun. 

Nagpunta na ako sa bathroom nya, since sabi nya 'feel free to use the bathroom'. 

I removed my clothes and opened the shower and started to take a bath. 

"Ahh, ang lamig ng tubig!" I said as i got out of the bathroom.

I opened up the cabinet that he pointed at earlier. I got a blue t-shirt from his cabinet and then wore it. 

Hmm, parang medyo mahaba masyado yung tshirt nya sakin.

"Chaos!" tawag ko sa kanya, pagkalabas ko ng kuwarto nya.

Nagulat ako ng bigla ko syang makita standing beside the door at may kinakausap na babae. Lumapit ako sa kanila at tinignan ko kung sino yung kausap nya. 

"Ah! Kaya pala ayaw mo kong papasukin! May babae ka palang inuwi dito!" Biglang sigaw nung babaeng nasa may labas ng pinto nakatayo.

I pointed at myself and looked at Chaos and then looked at the girl. "What? me?" I asked.

"May iba pa bang babae dito!? Syempre ikaw! Ang lakas din naman ng loob mong harapin ako, eh ako ang girlfriend nya!" Sigaw nanaman sakin nung babae na mukhang galit na galit.

Sasagutin ko na sana yung babae kung di lang ako nagulat sa sigaw ni Chaos, "Tumigil kana Thea!" he shouted. 

"At bakit!? Kinakampihan mo pa yang babae mo! Ganun ba sya kagaling sa kama! Mas magaling ba siya kesa sakin!?" Sigaw ulit nung babae habang hinahampas pa si Chaos.

Chaos holds the girl's hands and tries to stop her from throwing any more punches on his chest. But the girl doesn't stop. "Sino bang unang nagloko satin Thea! Diba ikaw! Kaya wag mong ibibintang sakin ang ginawa mo!" I hear Chaos shout at her. Right now, i'm confused of the situation and i don't know how i am going to react or act after all this. I can see though, that this girl right here, right now is Chaos's lover. "Sinabi ko na sayo isang pagkakamali lang yun Chaos!" The girl shouted back at Chaos, defending herself from Chaos's accusation. Chaos didn't answer her back and instead just looked at her. The girl walks closer to Chaos and puts her hands on his face. "Chaos, makinig ka, inaamin ko nagkamali ako pero mahal mo naman ako diba? at mapapatawad mo naman ako diba?" Chaos still doesn't answer. "Umalis kana Thea, please." Chaos suddenly uttered as he removes the girl's hands from his face. He pushed her out and closed the door. I still here the girl knock and call out his name. But Chaos doesn't mind. He just ignores her. He sat down the floor from where he was standing a while ago and though i couldn't hear him cry, i see tears slowly running down from his cheeks. He just sat there in silence. His tears doesn't stop. I went to his kitchen and made tea. 

"Chaos" inabot ko yung tea na ginawa ko para sa kanya at umupo sa tabi nya. "Hey" I bump his shoulder. But he doesn't reply.

"I don't really know what happened between you and that girl. But, i can tell you that things will be okay. I'm pretty sure God has prepared a special person just for you." I say.

I stood up and left him there. I opened the curtains and saw the clouds darkening. "Mukhang uulan nanaman." 

"Makiko" Nagulat ako ng bigla kong marinig ang tawag ni Chaos sakin. Lumingon agad ako sa kanya and see him standing beside me. "Hmm, bakit?"

He leans on my shoulder and says, "Thea..." 

I know what to say. I just won't say it. 

"I know" was the only thing i was able to say. 

"Niloko niya ako. Siya ang nagloko. Napalampas ko ang mga kasinungalingan niya. Natiis ko ang pakikipag-date niya sa ibang lalaki kahit na sinasabi niyang ako ang mahal niya. Pero yung nakipag-sex siya sa ibang lalaki! Hindi ko na kayang patawarin pa pati yun!" When i heard him say all this, i felt tears in my eyes. I felt all the pain he was going through. 

I run my fingers through his hair and say, "May magagawa ba ako para mawala yung sakit na nararamdaman mo?" 

"Can you stay?" He asks.

"I will"
