She Was The Punisher (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 21

SPG: May maseselang eksena.

***ALIYAH'S POV***

Mabilis akong lumabas ng kwarto at sinuot ang earpiece ko.

"Anong misyon yan?"

"Maselang misyon to, Aliyah." Seryoso ang boses ni Luke.

"Lahat naman ng misyon na binigay mo sakin e."

"You need to come back to te building where you met Savannah Santidad. May lead kami na may operations rin sila sa Palawan target ang mga anak ng mga bakasyunista. Pupunta kami don at ikaw naman ang sa reports pati rito sa Maynila." Aniya.

"No. Bakit hindi ako sasama sanyo sa..."

"Aliyah. Unahin mo si Savannah. You made an agreement with Mr. Santidad. Tuparin mo. Buti nga at nilulusot pa kita sa mga out of town."

"Psh. Sige. Kailan ba yan?"

"Mamayang aalas onse ng gabi ang assembly mo kasama kami ni Clyde. Hindi ko na isasama si Rosales. Baka magkainitan na naman kayo." Bilin nya and then hang up after a few more reminders.

Total ay tulog pa si Marcus, I have decided to go out at mag grocery ng pwede kong iistock sa bahay.

Habang naglalakad na ko pabalik sa sasakyan ay may babaeng humarang sakin selling me reed diffusers for aromatherapy para daw sa stress and headaches.

I remembered Marcus' migraine so I bought a set. She gave me a lavender scent oil as a freebie.

-

UPON going home, nagluto na ko naitago ko na lahat ng pinamili ko, pero hindi pa rin bumabangon si Marcus.

It's 6pm and Savannah would be asking kung nasakan na kami.

"Marcus. May lakad ako mamayang alas onse. Bumangon ka na." Tapik ko sakanya.

"HUY. HINDI KA BA BABANGON?"

Humihinga pa ba to?

Inilapit ko ang mukha ko sakanya.

He suddenly wrapped his arms around me and dug his face on my neck.

"Ali..."

"Hmm?"

"Ang sakit pa rin ng ulo ko." Daing nya.

"E pano kanina ka pa tulog! Bumangon ka na."

"Hindi...ang sakit talaga..."

I checked his temperature pero wala naman syang lagnat.

"I'll get you packed ice and pain killers pero kumain ka muna."

I served him dinner on bed at pinakain.

Sumampa ako sa kama and asked him if he liked the smell of the reef diffusers I bought. Oo daw.

"San mo nakuha to?" I stiffened.

"B-binili ko PARA SA SARILI KO malamang." I said defesively. 

"Hmmm. I didn't know you like these stuff." He said weakly.

"E-eh bat ba. People change. Para pag masakit ulo KO." I tried to hide the fact that I bought it because I was concerned about him and that stupid migraine.

"E ito? Ano to?"

"Ang daming tanong. Lavender oil masahihin mo yung temple mo." I said.

He just sighed and looked away like a lifeless kiddo.

"Akin na nga." I took it from him and sat behind him. "Ako na lalagyan kita."

I started putting it on his foregead nang magsabi sya na "Gusto kong sumandal." Halata sa boses nya ang nanghihina.
