Marked By The Beast (COMPLETED)

Chapter 8

​           MY tummy made a sound. I'm so gutom na that's why I had no choice but to get out of the room. I slowly walked but it was useless because my saklay made a sound every time I hakbang. Zyver immediately lingon when he heard it, I instantly noticed that he's still wearing his mask. My eyebrows are nag-salubong right-away. What's the point of hiding it when I already saw it? I remained silent even though I have something that I want to ask. He's naghuhugas na ng plates, I guess tapos na sya kumain.

"Kumain kana, naka-ayos na jan sa counter." Basag nya sa katahimikan.

"Okay." I said then I sat down on the barstool. There's a plate with tapa and rice. I silently ate the food that he prepared for me. I saw him went to the living room habang nakain ako. I can't seem to grasp the words that I'm about to say whenever I tried to open my mouth. Is my body telling me to just shut my mouth? I was so scared talaga last night, not because of his face but the way he shouted at me.

After ko kumain ay inayos ko ang coffee maker, expecting that everything will turn normal if I will hand him a coffee. Well, no one can resist coffee dibaaa? I prepared two cups of coffee and I made sure that it tastes great.

I saw him watching a tv show, magandang life? Nevermind.

"Uhm, I made you a cup of coffee. Do you mind if you get it on the counter?" I asked. Of course I can't hawak the cups while I'm walking with saklay diba? Duh.

"Sige." He stood up and went to the kitchen. I sat on the sofa. He went back with the cups na naka-patong on a tray. Nilapag nya ito sa coffee table at inabot saakin ang cup ko.

"Thanks." I said.

I silently sipped on my cup of coffee while we were watching the television but I noticed that he's not drinking his coffee. Nag-dikit ang eyebrows ko, I made it for him tapos he's gonna sayang it lang?!

"Aren't you going to inom that." I pointed at his cup that is just holding. I realized that he's not drinking it because he is still wearing his mask.

He sighed. "I want to but-"

I interrupted what he was about to say "Anong but-but? Remove your mask and inom it na." Mataray kong said.

"I don't want to remove my mask."

"Why? What's the point? I already saw it kagabi. Why are you still making tago of it? It's not even that bad."

"Not that bad? Hah? Talaga ba?! Teka nga, sino kaba sa buhay ko para pangunahan ako? Estrangero ka lang na sakit sa ulo ko. Tinulungan kita pero hindi kita binibigyan ng karapatan mang-himasok sa buhay ko! Pakielamera!" He left after he said those hurtful words.

Natulala ako, tears rolled down my cheeks. I wasn't even bothered by his scars and his face. I thought were friends, akala ko lang pala. He still considers me as a stranger, isang sakit sa ulo to be exact. I silently cried while I titig on his cup of coffee that is already malamig na. Tama naman sya, pakielamera naman talaga ako. I sighed.
