Nagsalubong ang dalawa niyang kilay, nangangamba ang mukha na tumingin siya sa akin. “You’re pushing yourself too hard. You need rest.”
“I don’t have time for rest!” I snapped, frustration bubbling up inside me. “ Azrael, ito na lang ang meron ako. Kung hindi ko 'to gagawin, kung hindi natin matapos 'yang painting... ano pang silbi ko?"
The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. Hindi ko ginustong sabihin 'yon sa kaniya at ipakita sa kaniya na natatakot ako, pero 'yon ang totoo. I'm scared.
Azrael didn’t say anything for a long moment, just watched me, his eyes filled with an emotion I couldn’t quite place. Then, slowly, he stood up and moved to sit beside me.
“You’re still you, Jonathan. Ano man ang mangyari, no matter what you can or can’t do—you’re still you.”
CHAPTER 10 of Paint Me, Jonathan is now up!
