My spirit was awaken by a loud bang that was somewhere near. Tumama sa mukha ko ang sinag ng araw kaya namulat ang isa kong mata. Then I opened the other one. Natulala ako habang nakaupo sa kama, pino-process kung anong nangyari kagabi. Nang maalala ko bigla, taranta akong tumingin sa suot ko. Nakahinga ako ng ayos nang iyong kagabing damit parin ang suot ko.
"I didn't do anything to you." A man at the door said.
Oh right, I know him. Hindi ko maalala ang pangalan niya, I'll just ask him later.
I sighed before I answer. "I can see that." Inayos ko ang buhok ko dahil pakiramdam ko ngayon ay ako ang pinaka-pangit na tao sa buong mundo. And I realized that this is the first time I actually felt that way.
He chuckled a bit. "I prepared you a shirt. It's mine, but you can use it. I'm sure you're uncomfortable with that." He pointed at my clothes.
One of my strap from the dress fell so I immediately pulled it up. He smirked. He must be happy seeing me like this, a mess. A popstar looking like a pretty zombie in the morning. Oh well. I'm glad he's the one who found me. Kung may mangyari man na masama, I don't know what I'd do.
"Eat before you leave." Seryosong sabi niya bago siya lumabas ng kwarto at sinaraduhan ang pintuan.
Huminga ako ng malalim. I didn't realized that I was holding my breath for a minute. He's so intimidating. Scary. Dahan-dahan akong tumayo at nagpuntang bathroom para maghilamos at magpalit ng damit. I used his mouthwash, too.
Sinuot ko ang isang short na pambabae at isang oversized t-shirt, for me, kasi sa kanya iyong damit. Inayos ko muna ang buhok ko bago lumabas ng kwarto. I smelled my breath, too. I don't want to add more of my embarrassment.
"I can just leave. You already helped me enough," sabi ko sa kanya pagkalabas ko.
He glared at me. "I prepared a lot of food and I don't waste food. Consider this as your thanks, okay? Sit down," parang akong asong inutusan niya dahil sumunod agad ako.
He really did prepare a lot of food. Mukha ba akong gutom na gutom? Or is he hungry? Kumain na lang ako para makabalik na ako sa hotel room ko. It's still 6 so my Dad knows I am still not awake.
"You did great yesterday," he complimented me.
Hihigop sana ako ng soup para sa hangover pero binaba ko iyon para sagutin siya. I like hearing compliments to other people because I get to know what the think about me.
I smiled to him. "Thanks! What's your name, again?"
Napa-iling siya bago uminom ng tubig. "Heath."
"Nice meeting you, Heath. I can see that you're a nice person," I smiled.
He smirked and stopped eating. "Yeah? You wanna see something else?" His eyebrows arched.
