"Gagi gising! May lakad ako. Ikaw na muna magluto ng agahan mo."
Ali screamed while waking me up.
Hindi ako bingi para sigawan at bakit ang aga aga naman para gisingin ako.
After the usual morning routine, lumabas na ako sa kwarto para magluto ng agahan.
Maaga pang umalis si Ali kaya ako na muna ang magluluto.
Nagmamadali siya, siguro mag-a-out of town sila ng pulis niya.
Iba rin kung kumimbot si Ali, pati pulis na dali.
Naalala niyo yung pulis sa custodial facility?
Yung poging malaki yung pwet.
Not to mention his masculine body.
Ops.
Pababa na ako para magluto nang may bigla akong narinig.
Mukhang mga kaldero at plato sa kusina.
Sa pagkakaalam ko ay mag-isa lang ako sa bahay kaya kinabahan ako ng husto.
Kinuha ko yung nakapatong na vase sa table sa labas ng kwarto ko.
Dahan-dahan akong naglakad pababa at sinisigurong hindi marinig ang bawat yapak ko.
When I'm about to enter in the kitchen, there I confirmed! Someone's inside the condo aside from me. It wasn't Ali.
Nakatalikod siya at mukhang naghuhugas. Iwan ko ba.
My knees trembled in fear knowing na baka totoo yung threat na natanggap ko kagabi.
Dahan-dahan akong naglakad papasok ng kusina habang hawak ang vase na nakahanda ng ipokpok sa ulo niya sakaling may gawin siyang masama.
He has broad shoulder. He's half naked showing his masculine and broad shoulder. Sweat flows from his head down to his body.
I'm about to hit him but he gazed at my side.
Lumingon siya kaya agad kong tinago ang vase na hawak ko.
In my surprise, it was..
Austine.
What the heck is he doing this early?
"Austine?" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Good morning." He smiled.
"Why are you here?"
"Cooking for your breakfast. I guess."
"I can cook."
"Yeah. I know. But I don't think if its edible." He let a small laugh out.
Is he insulting me?
Hindi niya pa natikman ang fried hotdog ko na tamang tama ang pagkakaluto. Yung sunny-side-up ko na perfect na perfect ang pagkakaluto.
Eww.
He stops for a bit and gazed at my hand holding a vase.
He let a small smile out.
"Vase in the kitchen? Are you going to fry flowers?"
"A-ah no. Nilalamok kasi kaya balak ko sanang palitan ng tubig." An excused.
Nakakahiya naman kung sabihin kong ihahampas ko sana sa kanya.
He just smiled after hearing my explaination. Tumabi ako sa kanya para makita kung ano ang niluluto niya.
Adobong manok at fried fish.
"Watch how an attorney cook." Pagmamayabang pa niya.
"Pagnasunog yan pagtatawanan kita."
"'Pag naging successful to, papakasalan kita."
His words make me choke by my own saliva.
I looked at him surprised.
He winked and continued his work.
"Is that a proposal?"
"Does it sound like a proposal?"
