JIROH'SPOV
Maaga akong nagising pero alam ko naman na walang papayag na papasukin ako kasi ang alam nila may sakit pa ako pero okay naman na talaga ako. I called my mom.
Hello? Jiroh. Are you okay?
Oo ma. I'm fine.
Sinabi ko na kasi na layuan mo yang babaeng yan.
Mom. I'm fine. It's not her.. *BOOGSH*
What happened? Jiroh?
Call you back Mom. I hung-up. Si Kittin. Nahulog lang naman sa chouch. I sort of laugh. Clumsy kasi.
Aww. She was holding her head. I came closer and she was shocked. Ohh! I'm fine. She tried to stand pero natumba siya. Inabot ko yung kamay ko. Hinawakan niya naman.
Thanks. Goodmorning! She smiled. You fine? I nodded. Great. Then, I must go.
Ohh. Wait. Thanks nga pala.
My pleasure. You need anything?
No. I am fine. She smiled.
I GTG then. Nauntog pa ata siya. I giggled. She smiled shyly. Clumsy. I new that she wasn't really a lesbian and I can see it.
Kittin's POV
Aww. My head actually hurts. I heard a knocked on the door.
Kittin! Kittin!
Coming. I opened the door.
Bantayan mo si Jiroh. K? I'll excuse you guise at the class. I nodded. Siya nga pala. She handed me something. I opened my palm. It was my 3K.
Magsasalita na sana ako but she interrupted. Take it! And thanks btw. She smiled.
Thanks Mariah. I smiled back. She waved at me. I sit down.
Is this just a dream? First. Waking up and seeing my Prince Charming. Second. Holding his hands. Third. Being friends with one of my classmates and the Fourth. I was given a chance to take care of him. I’m feeling lucky.
Pagkalabas ko ng room nakita ko na nasa labas na si Jiroh. May kausap. Ako na ignorante pero ngayon ko lang siya nakita na may phone. Srsly. Lumapit ako so I can hear the conversation. Ako na tsismosa.
She had it all paid Mom. She is really kind. Are they talking about me? That’s weird.
Okay lang naman kasi ako Ma. Don’t worry okay? Then he hung-up. Lumingon siya at nagulat.
Ohh! Nakakagulat ka naman. I smiled.
Who you talking to?
My Mom. He smiled.
You’re really lucky. I sit on the couch. I wish I have my Mom here.
Nasan ba siya? He sit beside me. I giggled. This feelings again. Butterflies on my tummy.
USA. Anyway, I’m sorry. I know it’s my fault. He shooked his head.
Hindi. Ano ka ba. I was thankful you where here. He patted my shoulders and stand up. Hindi ako naka-imik. He was really thankful? Srsly. I followed him at the kitchen.
You’re good at cooking. Lumaki ang mga mata ko O_O Cooking?!
What?
You’re good at cooking…breakfast.
You figured that out. He nodded.
I was curious, why did you choose to stay here? Your parents are in the US. That’s a really nice place.
I don’t like to leave.
Why?
Let’s just say that I have unfinished business here. We both sit and we started eating. Nakailang subo na kami at wala paring umiimik sa amin. Napakaawkward na.
Ugh. Jiroh.
Yes?
Do I suck? His eyes widen. :/
Are you serious?
Please. Don’t lie. I want the truth. :(
How can you say that?
That’s what I feel. What I saw. What I hear. It’s everywhere. I wanted to cry already but first I wanted to know the truth.
You’re..wonderful, Kristine. It was the first time that he pronounced my whole name. It sounded special and I wanted to believe what he said but I can’t.
You’re lying. Everyone hates me. People are kind to me because they needed something from me and I know that your Mom hates me too. Right? It was really an honor being here but I never wanted to live like this. Everyone has left me and I don’t know where to go and who to believe. My voice is broke. I don’t want him to see me like this.
Sorry. Excuse me. I ran to my room. Why do I have to be so emotional? All of a sudden. I am not planning for an attention but I don’t think I deserve this. I just given up and I locked my room and I cried a river.
