I closed my eyes, humilig ako sa kanyang dibdib habang patuloy siyang naglalakad paalis sa kumpol ng mga tao.

I remained silent, still half shaking from the blood from my knees and catching my breath.

"Wave, where are you bringing her?" I heard the manager asking. He didn't answer and held me tighter on his chest.

Because we were close, I had the chance to smell his natural scent. It's tropical. Like moist leaves from a fog in the morning. Refreshing.

Mas kumalma ako.

"Wave! I am talking to you, saan mo-"

"Let's talk later," he cut him off.

I checked where we were going and saw us approaching a room. A cabana. The manager opened the door for us.

Marahang inilapag niya ako sa sofa kaya bumitaw ako sa batok niya. Nagkatitigan kami, ako na namumungay pa ang mata dahil sa mga luha at ang seryosong kanya.

Hindi ko siya mabasa, 'di maipaliwanag ang kanyang ekspresyon. Before I could tru and interpret, he was kneeling in front of me to check my wound.

It made my heart jump in awe. I bit my lip, watching him as I dry my tears with my fingers, refusing to see the blood.

Ayoko...

"Medicine kit," aniya. Tumayo siya at sinundan ko lang siya ng tingin. I sniffed, pinigilan ko ang sariling sumulyap sa sugat ko at nakitang nakatitig sa akin ang kanyang manager.

"Water?" he offered.

I slightly nodded. Nang umalis siya'y do'n na ako nakakuha ng tiyansang ikutin ang paningin sa lugar.

It wasn't massive, enough for a family, I think but it's so refreshing in the eyes. There is a rattan chair, couch in the small living area. There is a division separating the bed and the small kitchen.

To where I was sitting, there was a wooden round table with a vase at the top, may flat screen na T.V. rin.

"Here." Napaayos ako upo no'ng bumalik ang manager at inabot sa 'kin ang tubig.

"Salamat,"

He nodded. He went to sit on the other side of the sofa and spoke.

"Please don't tell anyone out there what this place looks like," aniya.

'Di ako kaagad nakasagot.

So, this is Wave's private place? He stays here?

"Wave values his privacy so much kaya sana, pakiusap na lang. Sana ay h'wag makakalabas ang makikita mo rito, kahit pasalamat na lang sa tulong ni Wave," his tone was calm.

I slowly nodded, smiling at him. "Okay, makakaasa ka," I assured.

Wave went out of the bathroom with the kit in his hand. Napasulyap siyang saglit sa 'kin bago bumaling sa manager.

"Ako na ang maglilinis ng sugat niya, Wave," his manager said kaya napawi ang saya ko.

Humaba ang nguso ko.

Gusto ko si Wave! Si Wave ang maglilinis ng sugat ko!

Halos mapasipa ako nang tumayo siya para kunin ang hawak ni Wave at dumiretso sa akin. I hope I'm not frowning because my face felt like doing one. Suminghot ako at kinagat ang dila, iritado.

Si Wave na sana, e! 'Yon na 'yon!

Pakialamero!

He knelt in front of me. He took my feet and I froze, I couldn't even explain why. Ayaw ko. Gusto ko si...
