             I woke up because of the sinag of araw that's on my face. I got up and did everything that I need in the bathroom. I made myself look decent, I felt that my cheeks heated up when I remembered how I looked yesterday, ewwt! I combed my hair, it's just I want to look not so chararat unlike yesterday. I slowly went out of the room. I can't seem to find Ver. Where did he go naman kaya? It's too aga pa.

My tummy made a sound. I think I should eat na. When I walked into the kitchen, I saw something that has takip. I went lapit to it and lifted it up. There's bacon, egg and a cup of rice. It was already arranged on a plate. There's a little note at the side that says "Kain kana, may ginawa lang ako sa labas." The hand-writing was a little bit hard to read but I immediately unawa, he probably used his left hand and for sure, that's not his dominant hand. I ate the food that he prepared then I went to the salas and watched some dramas.

I silently watched and waited for Ver. I grunted when I felt so naiinip na. It feels so boring kaya being alone. I quickly turned my head at the door when I heard that the bell made a sound. I was too disappointed when I realized that it was just the wind. Slowly, droplets of rain started falling. Where is he na ba? I lay on the sofa, I fitted just fine. I wondered how he makes kasya himself here. It's too small for him. The sound of the rain and wind made me feel sleepy. I guess, he'll be here na once I woke up.

Napabalikwas ako nang bangon. Still, Ver is still not around. What is he doing ba? Kainis naman. I stood up and dahan-dahan nag-punta to the kwarto. I want to pee na. My eyes widened when I heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Hala?! Did I leave the faucet bukas?! OMG! It must be baha na in the banyo! I quickly bukas the pinto, it's not locked! It must be my fault nga! Feeling ko hindi na ako tsinita nang makita ko ang hindi dapat. It is Ver and he is naked! He's making tuyo of his hair that's why I can't see his face, the towel is nakakarang. I saw his big titi! It's massive and hairy, like an itik!

I gasped and quickly turned around. I have to hurry! I almost ran towards the living room like I'm not pilay. Umatras ang ihi ko! I sat on the sofa, sobrang shookt ako! It's like I'm going to have a fever. The first putotoy that I saw was June's! It was different, we were in kindergarten back then and it looked so different from what Ver has! Nag-pagulong-gulong ako sa sofa, I can't seem to take it out of my mind.

I can clearly see his body everytime I close my eyes. He has a tattoo on his right arm, it says "semper fi", and I don't know what it means. His body looked like he doesn't have any soft flesh left, it looked so matigas and he has madaming scars. I remembered the big itik! It's definitely not soft, it was massive and hard. Pinikit ko ng mariin ang mata ko. I used to praise myself for having a photographic memory but now, I regret it. How am I supposed to harap Ver?!  I felt like a pervert and maybe, I am really a pervert. I shivered; every time I pikit all I can see is the big itik!

   

            PAGKA-UWI ko ay nilapag 'ko ang mga gamot na kakailanganin ni Lissandra sa counter-top at mabilis na hinanap si Lissandra. I found her on the sofa, medyo naka-nganga pa itong matulog. Inayos ko ang damit nitong medyo nakalihis, it's showing her tummy na tila nyebe ang kulay. Napa-iling ako. Sakit nga ito sa ulo, dalawang ulo to be exact. Natawa na lang ako sa naisip 'ko.

Dumiretso na agad ako sa banyo, naulanan din naman kasi ako dahil hindi ako nakapag-dala ng payong nang lumabas ako saka I badly need a cold-shower because of Lissandra. I'm indeed a freak for feeling this but I won't do anything bad to Lissandra. It's just that I haven't seen a girl for a long time, yeah that must be it. Nevertheless, hindi ko dadagdagan ang problema nito and as I promised, I will protect her.

Nang matapos ako maligo ay lumabas na ako. Napansin kong bukas ang pinto, I must have forgot to lock it, sanay kasi akong mag-isa dito that's why I ignored it. Nakita kong nakalupaypay si Lissandra sa sofa. Nakalapat ang likod sa sofa habang nakalaylay naman ang mga paa, tila nageexorcism ba. Nilapitan ko ito.

"Hey." Untag ko.

It seems like she's thinking deeply about something at hindi agad napansin ang presensya ko. Again, her almond-shaped eyes widened when she saw me. Pulang-pula ang mukha nito maging ang tenga at leeg. Dali-dali ko naman itong nilapitan. Does she have a fever? Dumukwang ako at nilapat ang likod ng kamay ko sa leeg nito. She's burning hot!

Tila napaso ito sa kamay ko at nilayo ang leeg pero hindi ko na ito binigyan ng pansin. "What did you do? Bakit ka may lagnat?" I asked. Tulala lang ito, tila walang naririnig at higit sa lahat, mas pumupula. Hinintay ko itong may sabihin ngunit wala talaga, tila wala sa sarili. Mabilis ko itong pinangko at binuhat. Sa bawat galaw ko ay nanlalaki lang lalo ang chinita nitong mga mata pero walang sinasabi. Dinala ko ito sa kwarto at hiniga sa kama.

"Mag-pahinga ka lang, dadalhan na lang kita dito ng pag-kain at gamot." I said. She nodded her head, it's like she went back to her senses. I turned the AC on and tucked her in. Mabilis naman nitong tinakluban pati ang mukha nya. I chuckled; she's like a little girl. I wonder what she did that caused her to have fever. Is it her wounds? I got nervous, thinking that her wounds were infected but I made sure that it's thoroughly disinfected. Also, what's on her mind?

              HE'S the one who is going to have a fever once he knew what's running inside Lissandra's mind. Pabaling-baling na nahiga si Lissandra, tulala talaga ito. She's screaming inside her head. She can't stop seeing Ver's body. Napahawak si Lissandra sa buhok nya, tila gustong sabunutan ang sarili. She flinched when she felt pain coming from her wounds. Inayos ang sarili at nahiga nang diretso. Pinikit nito nang mariin ang mata. There are words that keep on playing inside her head, "Itik, itik, itik, big itik, itik." Nag-papasag ito na tila sinasapian. What she wanted to see was his face not the head between his legs!
