DAYS passed just like that. Slowly my wounds healed and I think Ver and I got closer? I think so, but everytime we talk it's just all about me. I'm the only one who makes kwento. He's still not letting me know who he really is. Yes, mabait sya but he still has many secrets. I don't even know how many days passed na nga eh and during those days, I don't get to see his face pa rin.
Nag-dugtong ang eyebrows ko, I'm so eager to see what's behind his mask. The photo that I saw wasn't enough, there's still a mystery behind it. Who would even tago that kind of face like duh?! Guys like Marlou would even trade their souls to the devil just to have that face and there's Ver who is just hiding it? Hay nako, I should tulog na nga.
I was doing my beauty-rest when I heard a muffled scream. I immediately balikwas nang bangon. I walked into the living room where the sound is coming from with the help of my saklay. It was Ver, he's like having a nightmare. I walked towards him. Kita kong nag-papabaling-baling ito sa sofa.
"No! Please, Amanda stay with me." He said in his sleep. Naupo ako sa lapag sa tapat nito. He's facing the other side that's why nakaharap ang back nya sakin.
"Ver? You're just nanaginip." I softly said habang kinukulbit ito.
"Fuck this face! Dahil dito iiwan mo ko?!" He's clawing his face tila gusto itong tanggalin. I was stunned, I can clearly see it. Hinawakan ko ang kamay nito para tigilan sa pag-kalmot sa mukha nya. Sa liwanag nang buwan ay kitang-kita ko ang tinatago nya sa likod ng maskra.
Ang nalapnos nitong mukha, it looks awful. Half of his face was burned, ang noo nito at kaliwang pisngi. I connected the fragments that I saw, may roon din syang pilat sa kanang braso na hindi ko nabigyan nang pansin noong nasilip ko ito sa banyo. It seems like he tried to cover his face with his arm that's why it got burnt too. The color of his skin is now mixed of purple and pink.
Nagpupumiglas ito sa touch ko. Blood is streaming down his face, he got sugat because he keep on kalmot his face. The way kalmot his face speaks so loud, it's not just his body that is scarred but his whole being too tila pati puso nito ay sugatan. What happened to this man? Someone must have hurt him too much.
"Zyver?! Stop it!" I shouted habang inaalog ito, pilit ko itong ginigising.
"Stop na sabi eh!" Nilakasan ko ang pag-alog dito.
"Huh?!" It looks like he's gising na. Mabilis syang tumayo at tumalikod sakin. I can see that his hands are naka-kuyom.
"Nakita mo?" He said with a cold voice.
"Uh-h oo?" Alanganin kong said.
"Hah! Sino ba kasing nag-sabi na puntahan mo ko dito?!" He growled. It sounded like he's so galilt. I bit my lip, did I went overboard?
"I'm j-j-just nag-aalala. Narinig ko kasi na may nasigaw." I'm shaking. I got scared of him.
Bumaling sya sakin. I can see half of his face and it looked so nakakatakot. His eyebrows are magka-dugtong. "GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM AND STOP BEING NOSY!" He angrily spat.
"B-but" What I was trying to say was interrupted when he faced me.
He marched towards me, gone the man with no footsteps. Mabigat ang mga yabag nito. "NO BUTS! PUMASOK KANA SABI DOON!"
I immediately takbo when he was almost near me. I lundag-lundag like my legs are not damaged. I forcefully closed the door behind me. I can hear my ragged breathing. Now that I saw what I wanted to see, what will happen na and how am I suppposed to face him?! He was so angry sakin!
