Chapter 12
Free
Nagpunta ako sa pinto katapat noong banyo niya. I opened it and saw his walk-in closet. Konti lang ang laman, dahil siguro hindi naman siya dito lagi. Nagbuklat ako doon at nakakita ng isang black shirt. Iyon nalang ang kinuha ko.
I didn't change to any shorts dahil ang laki ng shorts niya. Ayos na ako sa pants dahil malamig naman dito.
Nang nakalabas ako sa closet ay nakita ko siyang nilalagay iyong pagkain sa table sa tabi ng kama niya sa kwarto. I saw him watched me while walking towards him. Nahiya naman ako dahil soot ko iyong damit niya pero dinedma ko nalang.
Naupo na ako at sumunod naman siya sa akin. He sat in front of me and stare while I prepare to eat.
Masungit ko naman siyang tiningnan, "Huwag mo kong titigan." Mahina kong sabi at kumuha na ng pagkain.
Hindi naman nagbago ang tingin niya sa akin at patuloy akong pinagmasdan. I can see amusement and satisfaction at his stare, I don't know what's that for, but I can't help but feel at ease.
"Are you busy with your work?" tanong ko para naman hindi nakakabingi iyong ingay.
He shifted on his seat and nodded slowly like he's unsure.
"I can handle it." He uttered in his hoarse voice.
Curious akong nag angat ng tingin sa kaniya. I shouldn't ask many questions but I can't help to be interested in his life.
"What?" he asked when he saw that I keep staring at him.
"Dalawa lang kayong magkapatid?" tanong ko. Nakita ko naman na medyo nangiti siya so I guess it's fine to ask.
"Yes." Maikli niyang sagot kaya nadismaya na naman ako. Mahirap parin siyang kausapin talaga minsan.
"You're all living in Manila?" tanong ko ulit.
He nodded, "Yes." Maikli na naman niyang sagot.
"Won't you ask about me?" sabi ko nang puro sagot lang siya sa tanong ko.
I should be thankful that he isn't asking anything but that so unusual. When someone asks about your life, you tend to be curious about theirs too. Oh baka hindi talaga siya ganoon? Then how can he like me if he doesn't know me at all?
But I like him though I don't know him at all. Now, why am I thinking about this like thing?
"Will you tell me?" he asks softly. He gazed at me waiting for my answer.
Is it obvious that I don't want to talk much about myself? I don't really open up about myself. I always think that I should always be careful with my words. Hindi naman ako wanted sa pulis, sa Daddy ko lang. I guess it won't hurt to open up a little.
I shrugged at him. "Why not?" I saw the side of his lips rose. "But if you're not interested it's fine." Bawi ko agad.
Binaba naman niya ang ulo niya para masilip ako. Sumubo ako ng pagkain at hindi siya pinansin.
"I'm very much interested in you. I think it's obvious." Sabi niya habang hinuhuli ang aking tingin.
Hindi ko na naman alam ang irereact kaya umismid lang ako at kunwaring hindi naapektuhan sa sinasabi niya, kahit ang totoo ramdam na ramdam ko iyong init ng pisngi ko.
"Okay!" I said like I am very fine with everything. Like my heart is not even beating three times faster. "I should tell you about me since you're very much interested in me."
Now, that's the line that should be forbidden. Tell him about me? Kailan pa na iba ang plano? I told myself to live here with utmost precaution. But it wouldn't hurt to tell him, right? Siya lang naman!
