Marian wondered why Gabriel wasn't already in their room, it was already past twelve midnight when she decided to go back to her room to sleep. She was also tired doing her errands at home. She went around to checked him, she first went to the bathroom, to the veranda, to his study room, and lastly to the garden. But he's nowhere to be found. She went inside to get a glass of cold water when she notice a silhouette of a him in the counter, he's sitting across it. She slowly went on his spot behind.
"I thought your tired. Bat gising kapa?" She asked him from behind.
"Ya...,Yan?" He uttered in surprised upon hearing her voice. "Nagising kasi ako, then I Can't go back to sleep." He added his eyes on the glass of wine.
"So you're drinking?" He asked him when she noticed the bottle of whiskey on the counter top.
"Pampaantok lang." He raised the glass of wine and took a sip of it.
"Do you still have alcohol intolerance?" She asked curiously.
"Yes! Pero I can manage naman. Pampaantok lang talaga to." He replied.
"Okay! Pag inantok ka tulog kana lang ulit" She replied thriftily, turned her back to retrace her steps heading upstairs.
"Yan!" He called her. " Lika muna dito." He grab her hand, he's already a little bit tipsy. "Maaga pa naman gawan mo muna ako kape please. Miss ko na timpla mo eh." He mumbled.
"Gab it's already midnight." She refused.
"Sige na please coffee lang." He pleaded.
"Akala ko ba nagpapaantok ka. Then why are you requesting for coffee?" She retorted.
"Ayy! Sorry!.. Sorry!..sige na sleep kana. I'll make my own coffee na lang." He tried to stood up, but he felt dizzy that caused him to hold a grip to the chairs. His steps were heavy. Marian had no choice but to follow him when his body leaned on the wall at the edge of the counter. She knows that the alcohol already intoxicates his body even if it's just a few sip.
"Okay! Okay na. sige na! Igagawa na kita ng kape." She held his hand and assisted him to go back to his sit. "Hindi ako na, maabala pa kita eh." He refused.
"Sige na bumalik kana dito at ako na."
"Hindi Ako na! Matulog kana." He insisted.
"No ako na! I insist, you sit here." He looked at her, straight to her eyes, but she looked away.
"Salamat Yan." He held her hand, but she withdraw it.
"Pero decaffeinated lang ha, so you will still be able to sleep pa rin." She muttered.
"Basta gawa mo." He replied watching her.
She went along across the counter to make his coffee, she put more milk on it for him to have his much needed rest. She transferred the hot water to his mug
