"Ba't ka nga pala tumakas sa kasal mo?"
Wala lang. Ngayon ko lang naisipang itanong dito sa lalaki na kung makaupo, feeling sa kanya ang buong sofa.
Tss. At 'yong adobo kong walang sabaw, alam niyo ba ang nangyari?Ayon, walang natira. Pero kung maka-criticize siya kanina. Kesyo ano na raw ang nangyari sa ulam, sigurado raw ang pangit na ng lasa nito. Noong kumain na nga kami ang dami pa niyang nakain! Akala mo nasa Mang inasal pa siya kung maka-unli-rice.
"Vampirism is a disease? Tsk. What kind of drama is that?"
Tiningnan ko siya ng masama. If looks could kill.. yeah, surely, he'd be dead by now.
At ito na naman kami, iba ang tanong ko, sumagot na naman siya ng tanong.
"Huwag ka nga! Virus, hindi disease!Tsaka sino bang nagsabing panoorin mo 'yan? Buy your own tv." I retorted, pissed.
Nakakawalang pasensya talaga itong si Apollo. Umiinit ang ulo ko.
"Let's buy later." Kalmado pang saad niya.
My mouth agaped in shock. Buy later?!
I thought he's a runaway? He must be broke!
Hindi ko maiwasang punahin ang mga kilos niya.
The way he acts screams that he's not an ordinary man. He have grace and when he speaks, I noticed that English is his first language. He could be one of those elligible bachelors in town in every aspect.
There's something different about him. He acts like as if he's a prince. Pati pagkain niya kanina, akala mo babae sa sobrang hinhin.
He have this proper etiquette na para bang may mga invisible na mga eating utensils sa mesa. The way those royal blooded have their meal, Apollo resembled the settings.. He puts a table napkin in his lap whenever he's eating, too.
He suddenly stood up. He towered in that living room.
Pinagmasdan ko siya. Akala ko sa kwarto ang punta nito ngunit dumiretso siya sa kitchen.
"Hey! I'm thirsty, water please!" Mautusan nga kung papayag.
"And I want ice cream, too."
I grinned. I wonder if he'll follow my requests? I didn't know having a company in my unit could be a convenience.
Ang sarap kayang kumain ng ice cream especially when watching tv.
"Here." Basag niya sa iniisip ko.
Iniabot niya sa akin ang isang baso ng tubig. Great! Hindi naman pala ito mahirap utusan.
"Where's my ice cream?"
"Walang ice cream sa ref."
Woah! May accent pa ito kung mag-Tagalog. Ngayon ko lang iyon nabigyang pansin. It was like speaking tagalog is foreign to him. Though he seems to know a lot of those words.
I don't want to admit it but he sounded sexy speaking Tagalog.
I bit my lower lip. My face flushed.
Freesia, seriously?!
"In fact, there's nothing in the fridge. You should go to the store."
Kumunot ang noo ko.
So that's what I've been trying to remember! Wala pala akong makakain!
"I don't have a budget for grocery." Nanlulumo kong pahayag.
BINABASA MO ANG
The Runaway Groom
فكاهة[ Stanford Series #1] [FIN] She tends to forget a lot of things. She often forgets locking her unit. She forgets doing her grocery. She forgets her family's birthday sometimes.. or not just sometimes? That's her, but what's worst was when she didn't...
