Chapter 92: Patience

LLUVIA'S POV

Nagising ako dahil sa naging sinag ng araw. Medyo naging masakit ang ulo ko ng dahil sa late na talaga akong natulog kagabi kasi hindi naman ako sanay ng ganong oras matulog.

"Good morning." Hui greeted as he fix the other side of the bed.

Nahiya naman ako kaya nagmamadali akong bumangon at inayos din ang hinigaan kong side.

"You don't need to hurry." he said as he laugh.

"I'm sorry." sabi ko naman

"It's okay." sagot nya saka bahagyang ngumiti sa akin.

I was heading to the bathroom to wash my face and to get rid of my morning breath.

My jaw almost dropped when I saw my own reflection. Oh my geez. What the heck. I look super miserable!

Akala ko naayos ko na ang eyeliner kong kumalat pero hindi pa rin talaga. Bakit ba ayaw agad maalis?

I put some pressure on my thumb as I used it to wipe this away.

"Sorry if it seems like I'm intruding your phone's privacy but I found it on the table and it's just that you have so many missed calls and texts from an unknown number." sabi ni Hui na bahagya pang nakasilip.

I can't stay any much longer because Granny might visit me at my apartment today so I immediately tied my hair without even combing it and grabbed my phone from Hui.

"Thank you for letting me stay here, Hui. Sorry if I have to leave all of a sudden." paalam ko sa kanya.

His lips form a curve and his eyes almost closed, "Your always welcome."

I gave him a bit of my smile before turning my back. Pagbukas ko ng pinto nabigla ako ng makasalubong si Jane. Her face looks puzzled. Hindi ko alam kung anong magiging reaksiyon ko kaya naman nilagpasan ko na lang sya.

Did it rained?

I saw puddles, mud at mamasa-masa pa ang dahon ng halaman na nakatanim sa harapan ng bahay nina Hui.

Then I feel the breeze against my cheek. I hug myself as I perceive the coldness of the atmosphere outside. Chineck ko ang oras and it's 5 o'clock in the morning.

And it really rained.

As I got off the taxi, namataan ko na parang may tao sa harap.

It's Perseus! and he seems more miserable than I am. He looks pityful as his beret hat almost fall off his head and his position is so uncomfortable but still he's sleeping face is so comforting to look at.

Naka-upo sya sa harap ng pintuan as in sa mismong lapag lang saka nakasandal ang kanyang likod sa nismong pintuan.

"Perseus?" I said as I knealt on the ground and poke his cheek softly.

Pakunot-kunot pa ang noo nya saka unti-unting dinilat ang mga mata nya.

"Perseus what the heck are you doing here?" nag-aalala kong tanong.

His lips curve showing me a smile of happiness but his eyes is telling the opposite. It wasn't fully open and I can say that his eyes is really tired.

"P-perseus.." gusto kong maiyak na naman dahil sa naging kapabayaan ko.

My hands trembled as I put it against his forehead. Shit.

In-unlock ko muna ang pinto saka pinilit syang patayuin at ipinasok pagkatapos ay ibagsak sa sofa.

"I-I texted y-you.." he uttered.

Hindi naman ako mapakali sa pagkuha ng basin saka ng bimpo.

Shit. I clearly forgot to check my phone. There it goes 25 missed calls plus 42 messages all from Perseus and it is more than enough to build the guilt all over me.

It's my fault that he's feeling like this right now. My hands can't stop from trembling as I hold back my tears.

Maybe I am the type of the i-dont-care person but when it comes to Perseus my heart turned soft in a split of second.

Bumalik ako sa sala saka tinanggal ang maong na jacket ni Perseus pati na rin ang beret hat nya saka sapatos at medyas.

"M-my Andromeda.. a-are you m-mad at m-me.." halata sa boses nyang namamalat na pinipilit nyang magsalita

"I-im sorry.." dagdag pa nya

I don't say anything to him and just keep on giving him a sponge bath. Tatayo na sana ako para palitan ang tubig kaso nahawakan nya ako kaagad sa may pulso ko.

"I-I'm r-really sorry, m-my Andromeda..P-please don't b-be m-mad. H-hindi ko n-naman alam na—"

"S-shut up." I can't help myself to cut off his sentence dahil mas lalo lang ako nakokonsensya sa twing nagsasalita sya because it is obviously not his fault.

Napabitaw naman sya kaya dumiretso na ako sa pagpapalit ng tubig pero nang makabalik ako sa may salas ay naka-upo na sya at parang pinipilit pang tumayo.

"Perseus! You need to rest!" sigaw ko ng may diin pa sa bawat sa salita.

He flinch as I approaches him. Geez, Andromeda you need to chill...

"Lipat ka sa kwarto." tipid kong utos saka inalalayan sya humiga sa kama ko.

"P-please stop being m-mad at m-me. It hurts more than m-my head." he pleaded.

"I'm not mad. I'm sorry." I shortly said but with sincerity.

"N-no need to sorry..." sabi nya pagkatapos ay pinakita na naman sa akin ang ngiti nya.

His smile which really gave a warmth inside my heart that makes it uwu for him.

Jane can easily fall for him. I knew it. Based on what Hui told me Jane is not that person who's hard to love at all.

What if Jane really deserve Perseus more than I deserve him?
