"Later"

"Bahala ka sa buhay mo. " Umirap ako sa kanya ang nagtimpla na lang ng kape.
" Did you have a girlfriend? " I ask while stirring the coffee.
Naramdaman ko na lang ang mga mata niyang nakatitig sa gawi ko.
"I don't do girlfriends but back then I guess I have two stable relationship." He explained.
"Why did you broke up?" I added. Tasting the coffee I mixed. It tastes good.
Binigay ko ang kaniya at tinitigan muna siyang humigop bago ako umiwas ng tingin. He really looks handsome in any side you can see.
"Why are you curious?"
I shrugged. "Nakaka-curios 'yung kasungitan at kalandian mo at the same time."
Ngumuso siya at kasabay ng kunot nuo niya. "We broke up because we both don't have time to our relationship the other one I don't know we just broke up."
He said and go back to his readings. Inihipan ko ang kape ko at bumalik ng upo sa dati kong pwesto.
Lumipad ang isip ko sa mga posibleng ginagawa ko na ngayon kung nag-aaral ako. Siguradong nasa tapat ako ng table at nag-aaral. I really love assisting people and taking care to someone, but I guess somethings is not meant to be in my life.
"I'm going to sleep." He said and walked inside my room.
Mabilis akong tumihaya at hinila ang dulo ng damit niya. May mga nakasampay pa na underwear ko duon!
"What?"
Kinamot ko ang ulo ko hindi alam kung anong sasabihin. "I need to clean this too."
He nodded quickly and I thought he will wait but he walk sideways to enter my room.
"Ahh, your underwear that is floral?" Sabi niya at lumapit pa talaga kung saan nakalagay 'yun.
"Siraulo ka!" Malakas ko siyang tinulak at nilagay sa loob ng cabinet. "Matulog ka na nga!"
Tinuro ko ang kama. Sumunod naman siya, kaya lang single bed lang ito. Masikip kung sa baba matutulog, at ako pa talaga ang matutulog sa labas?
"Sleep outside, hindi ako kasya. Ikaw, you don't have to stretch your legs." He commented and make himself comfortable.
Kumuha lang ako ng isang unan at kumot. Mabilis akong lumabas at inayos ang hihigaan ko.
I thought he is gentleman and sweet, now looking at him it's the opposite.
"Cute mo nga, masarap din sakalin." Bulong ko bago matulog.
I woke up in a aroma that rumbles my system to wake up. I savor the smell of freshly brewed coffee , eggs, and some fried rice.
"Eat." Sabi niya sabay lapag sa mini table ng mga niluto niya.
Nakasuot na siya ng formal at maayos na ang buhok at mas maaliwalas ang mukha niya.
His sleeves are folded up to his elbow. He looks yummy and ready to battle.
"Eat this food, papasok na ako." He said and look at me before he leave the unit.
Kumain ako ng magana at nagpatugtog lang ng piano instrumental. Nilibot ko ang tingin sa unit, there is something I can't point out because something is off. It is neat and clean.
After eating my food, I went to the sink to wash the plates and my cup but I saw a bunch of notes written in a good handwriting.
After washing put it here, so the water will not drip on different areas.
